Chapter 112 - 112: The Bar
Entering the bar with girls on the table dancing like it was the stage, Daniella and Ken walked inside with frowns on their faces.
"What are we doing here exactly?" Ken asked, being surrounded by so many women and loud music suffocated him.
Without a warning, Daniella wrapped a hand around Ken"s arm while her lips formed a seductive smile.
Ken"s body stiffened, not because of her hand on his arm but because of her scent . It reminded him of two women, his friends" girlfriend and the woman that caused him to hate women.
With a little force, he removed her hands on his arms and put a one-meter distance between them.
Meanwhile Daniella"s face went flat, Ken was trying too hard to avoid skin contact with women but he just ordered two women to pleasure him in his house.
"Hypocrite" she thought.
The bar they were in was packed with half-drunk men while some girls were dancing on the table.
Tonight, she didn"t need to pretend to be a bar girl or anyone but she needed to wear this as it was a request from the person that helped her get in contact with Ken Chu"s father"s killer.
Thinking of that person, Daniella looked around.
"Pst..." the familiar whistle sounded from somewhere.
Daniella turned, soon she found her friend Peyton.
Peyton was her friend from London, they met at the bar after she broke up with James and this was the woman who thought her ways to seduce a man without getting them to touch her.
A woman with the same height as her, thin body and long black hair, that was Peyton. Her heart-shaped face and narrow eyes were so charming even for Daniella. What she liked about Peyton"s face was her cheekbones every time she smiled.
Most of the bars in the south were owned by Peyton"s family. Her father, which was a retired military general has connections all over the country. They were considered to be powerful but most of their money came from corruption and illegal transactions.
Daniella"s shoulders tensed when Peyton suddenly grabbed her b.o.o.b.s "whoa! They really got bigger than the last time we met!" she exclaimed.
Daniella blew out a sigh "I am wearing a bra , anyway why did you ask me to wear this?" she said pointing at her dress.
Peyton gave her a lopsided grin, "you"re so small , people would think I am harboring underage girls if they see you here with your snuggly clothes."
"Where"s your father?" Daniella asked.
"In his house, probably f*cking his mistress again " the bitterness of her voice every time she talked about her father was the same as their first meeting.
"Scott told me that you were s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g some tyc.o.o.n, so how was it?" Peyton asked in a teasing voice while her eyes shone like stars.
"Shut up " Daniella rolled her eyes on her and turned to Ken "can I talk to her for a minute?"
Ken didn"t answer her, he just looked at her with a flat face.
"Scott won"t tell me his name" Peyton said pouting "tell me about him."
Daniella shrugged, "he has a fiancée and I may turn out to be like your mother, a mistress!"
"hey! My mom is not a mistress!"
Daniella bore her face at her "really?"
Peyton became quiet "yeah she is" as she said that they both laughed maniacally at the same time.
"How is auntie?" Daniella asked, pertaining to Peyton"s mother whom she had been close in the past.
"Prison" Peyton answered casually and picked up the c.o.c.ktail that the waiter handed.
"What for?" Daniella asked, s.n.a.t.c.hing the c.o.c.ktail from Peyton"s hand and drunk it quickly.
"She found my dad in bed with some woman so she killed her" as she said that, Peyton s.n.a.t.c.hed back the gla.s.s which still has half liquor in it.
"I can get her out, do you need help?"
Peyton shook her head "no, she said she"s enjoying her time in prison. No stress from my dad!" and another laugh rang out from Peyton"s lips.
"What do you need from my dad?"
Hearing that, Daniella pointed a finger at ken.
"Your dad killed his father, so I guess we are here to kill him."
Ken who has been listening to the two women in front of him suddenly creased his brows, he blinked once while confusion rushed in his mind.
"I am not planning to kill him" he said to Peyton.
Peyton just gave him a half shrug, "that"s your business dude but if ever you have a plan to kill him can you make sure that he included me in his will? If he didn"t " she paused momentarily and looked at Daniella "ask this dwarf to get him to include me in his will.
Stunned by her request , Ken turned to Daniella for an answer.
Before Daniella could answer, a woman in a revealing dress came over with a tray, and on it was a powder lined up and a rolled paper bill.
Peyton waved a hand to call the waiter that served them the drink earlier.
"Try this one" she ordered and the waiter sniffed the drugs with no hesitation.
Peyton and Daniella watched the waiter as he sniffed another line of powder but soon the waiter started shaking until he fell to the ground.
"d.a.m.n it! Those fools gave me a low-cla.s.s drug again" Peyton cursed and asked one of the bouncers to take him away.
Peyton might have had her father"s connection but she still ran this place by herself and being a woman underground, she found it hard to get everyone to take her seriously.
Then she turned to Daniella "can you try?"
Daniella shrugged, she pressed a finger on her nose and was about to bent when Ken stopped her.
"What are you doing?" he asked with eyes widening in shock.
"Don"t worry, drugs don"t work on me "
Saying that Daniella leaned closer but Ken blocked her nose "I don"t care " he said and pushed her away from the tray.
"I just want to speak with your father" Ken turned to Peyton while his hand was still on Daniella"s nose blocking the air from coming in.
Meanwhile Daniella glared at Ken, she used her mouth to breath while her hands were trying to remove his hand from her nose.
"Get that thing out of here " Ken yelled at the waitress.
"I gave the blueprint to her a.s.sistant, she knows the address " Peyton stated and dropped a glance at Daniella "can you make sure that my dad includes me in his will? I can"t keep running this sh*t " she exclaimed pertaining to the bar.
When Ken finally let go of Daniella"s nose , she gasped for air and glared at him.
"Are you trying to kill me?" she barked at him.
"Isn"t that what you were trying to do?
"What? No!, I told you drugs don"t work on me!" she blurted.
"Really? What"s next you"re a psychic?"
Daniella was stunned to hear it from him "yes, I am . How did you know?" she squinted to check if they"d met before but before she could start Ken has avoided her eyes.
"You should get help" Ken replied and turned around to leave the place.
Daniella followed him , somehow he didn"t really believe it when she said that drugs don"t work on her or that she can read minds.
