Chapter 1063 - Event at the White Rock Lake (3) (2/2)
Those hostesses are young enough to be their daughters, granddaughters maybe.
Jeff heard about these men-only gatherings where rich and powerful take advantage of young women but hearing about it and seeing it is a totally different thing.
Both Aiden and Jeff wondered how many of these types of gatherings Oscar attended? Now they understood why he said that he will not come, and he gave them some vague warnings like: ”Don't be too shocked with what you see… It happens more often than you think…”
”When Sarah and Anna return, they will flip…”, Aiden mumbled but Jeff heard him.
Two men joined their table with one hostess seated in-between them. They are in their early fifties and they both made sure that the glass in front of their hostess is filled up with champagne. The two men didn't seem forceful like some of other men present, but it was obvious that they are trying to get their hostess to loosen up under the influence of the alcohol.
”It is our honor to be seated with Jeffrey and Aiden White.”, one of two men said.
”Mr. Bolton…”, Jeff responded with a nod and his signature cold expression was on.
”I don't think we met…”, the other man extended his hand for a handshake.
Jeff didn't take his hand. ”I've heard about you, Mr. Rice.”
Mr. Rice's hand hovered in the air awkwardly for a second before he retracted it. ”I am surprised that you know who I am.”
Jeff nodded slightly while faint smile sneaked at the corner of his lips.
Is he going to tell him that Eve-vision provided information not only that his name is Michael Rice, but that he is also a CFO in Nyla corporation with information on his salary and all bonuses, 52 years old, married to his second wife and has three kids? No, Jeff will not say that. He enjoys this role where he appears all-knowing.
Mr. Bolton eyed Gia who appeared idle. ”Hey, why don't you come here?” He gestured closer to him.
Gia's eyes widened and she swallowed hard. Her insides jolted when Jeff spoke: ”She is with us.”
Mr. Bolton lowered his head apologetically. ”She looked available.”
Gia threw a grateful glance at Jeff. If it is up to her, she will stick to these two. They don't seem interested in touching her (or more), and it appears that they are powerful enough to intimidate others. If her evening stays like this, this will be an easy $200 she earned for one night of being a hostess. Gia is a second year college student and she accepted this job for extra money, unaware that the job might require much more than serving drinks and appetizers while smiling at rich people.
As soon as she noticed the awkward atmosphere, she thought of leaving, but the manager took her phone away when they reached here, and all the hostesses arrived in a bus. She is not sure where this place is, or how to get out of it. She told herself not to panic, but to take it one minute at a time. At this point, these two young men are her safety line. She hopes they stay that until the end of this night.
