CXIII: The Flamingo Dancer
Sam, on the other hand, as soon as he finished the meeting and call with Alexander, felt too exhausted from the day’s work. He loosened up his tie and pulled up his sleeves neatly.
Sam took a deep breath, he received a text from some random girl he hooked up with the other day asking him for some movies at her place, but Sam felt like he was too tired to sleep with anyone, so he deleted her number and wandered around the city.
It had been a while since he’d been to Russia, it was cold, and Sam could barely stand the cold. With a cup of hot coffee to warm his hands, he roamed around for someplace to kill some time or have a decent dinner.
All of a sudden, his gaze fell unto Oli’s restaurant. He saw that it was packed with people, and it seemed like there was some sort of party. Sam was curious and interested, so he walked towards there and chose to eat there.
He asked the waitress upfront, “Can I book a table? Are you taken

“Okay, calm down and be logical, geez. This is probably the first time I’ve seen you so infuriated that you can’t think straight.” Oli teased, but then she cleared her throat and changed the subject, “Anyway, I think it’s best to let the asshole guy talk. I mean, the more secrets he spills about Pedro, the better! We could use it against him when he decides to blackmail Maya.”Sally rolled her eyes and replied, “Fine but do you have some earmuffs? Just hearing Sam talks make my skin crawl.”“Wait a minute, Sally, you know the guy?” Oli raised an eyebrowSally let out a deep sigh and nodded, “I do. I know him.”“And you risk letting him know your identity? What if he recognizes you? That was clumsy and too risky, Sally.”“I know I’m sorry.” Sally scoffed, “But it’s not like he’d remember me among all the girls he spends his p
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXVII: Love Triangle?
“Well, I guess you are.” Oli played along, “This is a love triangle I’d rather not get involved in.”“It’s not!” Pedro and Sally strongly argued, but Oli simply replied, “Yes, but whatever it is, please follow my worker. They will lead you to a more private chamber where you can talk more casually without disrupting anyone. I hope you resolve this.”Sally whispered, “Hey, Oli, what are you thinking? I’m too pissed at Sam. What if I gave away my identity out of annoyance?”“You won’t. Trust me, and I spiked his drink.”“What?!” Sally asked, “You did that? Why?”Oli smirked, “Obviously to know more about Pedro, well, it was effective, so who cares? Just go up there with them and go find out more. Sam is obviously interested.”“Well, I’m not!”“You don’t have to be. That guy&rsq
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXVIII: Weird Sam
Sam would do it with a different girl every other day, as it seemed. It was not surprising, as he did that a lot even in work.

Stop confusing me.”Sam flinched when he realized what he was getting at. In fact, he had not realized that it was the same girl he had helped a few weeks ago. It was a habit of his to help the damsel and distressed after all.This could not be blamed on him, okay?So what was he supposed to say to her? Sam was not sure if he should continue pretending or just admit it.After a brief moment of thinking, he cleared his throat and stood up defensively as the lights went on again.Sam looked at Sally intently. She was also doing the same, and her gaze was challenging as if saying that she was not going back.This time as well, Sam realized that Sally had recognized him the instant when she saw him before.Sam smirked when he t

Sally was not really affected by petty remarks. She was still a princess, so who cares what everyone else says?As she went back to her desk, she found piles of paperwork. Her jaw dropped, and she politely asked her boss, “I’m sorry but is this work? Are they all for… me?”“Oh, yeah, I’m sorry.” Her boss replied and whispered, “The higher-ups were women, and they found out about Sam’s little charade for you.
