Chapter 260: Lisa


    When Lisa arrived at the club, she showed her ess card to the bodyguard who stepped aside and she went inside. She went to the counter and sat down, cing her purse on herps to cover her bare things. The ck shiny dress she wore was a little too short but she didn''t mind. Who was she? She was Lisa after all and she didn''t care about what people said about her.


    The bartender walked over to her, ''''hi Lisa, what should I get you tonight?'''' the bartender knew her because she was a regr at the club. He knew her taste but Lisa had the habit of changing her drinks each time so he didn''t want to get her something she didn''t want.


    ''''Screwdriver'''' Lisa replied.


    ''''Nice choice for the night'''' he said and went to get her cocktail ready.


    Lisa took her phone and looked at her messages. She had received a few from Pa who was warning her to be careful. She chuckled and murmured as she listened to the voice message from Pa, ''''cute. Why do you have to be so cute?''


    ''''That''s what I thought when I saw you from up there'''' a man sat beside her and said. Lisa looked at him and he pointed at the top floor saying, ''''my boss wants me to bring you to him'''' the man added.


    Lisa turned to look at the top and saw an older man surrounded by two women and chuckled before saying to the man, ''''sorry, tell him he is not my type''''


    ''''What?'''' the man couldn''t believe what he was hearing. His boss was a big man in the whole of City B. There was nody who didn''t want to be with him, so was thisdy ying hard to get? He didn''t believe that there was no man that his boss couldn''t get, after all, all women wanted was a strong backer. In this city where connections mattered the most, there was no one who didn''t want to have a sponsor.


    ''''How much is your price? My boss can afford any amount you want. Name your price'''' the man insisted. He knew that a lot ofdies only yed hard to get initially but when you mention money, they then show their true colours. Thisdy wasn''t going to be any different.


    ''''How about you get lost before I beat your arse for disrespecting me'''' Lisa looked at him coldly and the man chuckled.


    It seemed this one needed a little more coaxing to give in, he thought and removed a bundle of dor bills and ced them on the table, ''''if this isn''t enough, I can get you two more. This is a million dor''''


    Lisa smiled and took the ss of cocktail from the bartender, she looked at the man and took the money. The man looked at her with lit gaze. He felt that thedy was finally showing her true colours but what happened next shocked him.


    Lisa dipped the money into the ss of cocktail and removed her lighter, she set the money inside the ss on fire.


    ''''What? Are you crazy?''''


    ''''No, you are the one who is crazy'''' Lisa removed herwyer''s contact card and ced it inside the man''s side pocket adding, ''''that''s mywyer''s address, if you have any problem contact her''''


    ''''This woman is crazy'''' the man said and pulled Lisa back as she tried to walk away.


    Lisa held the counter to stop herself from falling. She steadied herself before looking at the man, ''''one, you don''t get to touch me with your filthy hands. Two, I clearly warned you to not provoke me''''


    ''''What can you do?'''' the man asked and knocked her shoulder, ''''if you came to the club looking for a sponsor, you should be grateful that my boss took a liking to you. He is not your type? Do you know who my boss is? He rules the whole city, you little slut''''


    ''''Slut?'''' Lisa chuckled, ''''right, I am a slut foring here, but do you want to know something? This slut isn''t hungry and the thing in between your boss'' legs isn''t her cup of coffee either''''


    The people seated at the counter busted into fit ofughter when they heard Lisa''s sentence. The man looked at her with a distorted expression. It was clear he was angry.


    He lifted his hand about to hit Lisa when another hand held him back tightly saying, ''''didn''t you hear her the first time? The little man belonging to your boss isn''t her cup of coffee, if you want to hit her because of her honesty, then I''m sorry to say that you can''t do that''''


    ''''Who are you?'''' the man asked and tried to take his hand away.


    ''''This ce belongs to my friend, but I didn''t know it had be such a ce'''' Leslie let go of the man and turned to face Lisa.


    ''''Oh, Andy?'''' Lisa asked surprised.


    ''''No, no. I am Leslie and I''m guessing you must know that little brother of mine'''' he winked at her.


    Be careful'''' Lisa saw the man lifting a chair towards Leslie and she tried to warn him. Leslie pulled Lisa closer to himself and took a step sideways making the man to stumble in front with the chair and he stretched forth his leg tripping the man and he fell.


    Leslie winked at Lisa and lifted her up, sitting her up on the high chair before going towards the man. his gaze turned sharp as he squatted in front of the man, ''''didn''t your mother teach you never toy a hand on ady? What kind of manners did your parents teach you for you to turn out this way?''''


    ''''Excuse me, Leslie, he is one of my men'''' the one who was seated at the top walked to them with a few bodyguards behind him. This man was a thug leader in the city and he knew who Leslie was.


    ''''Oh, turns out you were the one who was making things difficult for the prettydy behind me?'''' Leslie stood up to face him.


    ''''I apologise; I didn''t know she was yours. Just now, my boy''s actions were rude. I apologise to you and thedy'''' he bowed before Leslie. Even though he was a thug leader in the city, he still knew not to mess with the young master of the Bassey family. He was extremely vtile and had a short temper.


    ''''What to do? He made her frightened. I don''t know if she will ever want toe here anymore after what happened. I should call Joel and ask him just the kind of people he allows into his club nowadays. It seems anyone can juste in here and do whatever they want'''' Leslie raised a brow at the man who felt that he was been messed with but couldn''t do anything about it.


    ''''I will apologise to thedy and also the drinks are on me tonight. Everyone can drink to their heart''s content. It''s on me''''


    ''''Now that''s how you show your sincerity. You make it look as if I am the one making things difficult for you, am I making things difficult for you?'''' Leslie asked and looked at the man with an innocent expression.


    ''''Not at all'''' the man forced out the words as he red at his subordinate. He had just lost a lot of money tonight thanks to him and he couldn''t do anything about it. This particr young master was very sly and could always turn situations to favour himself. He was clearly robbing him yet made it look like it was a fair deal.


    Lisa looked at Leslie curiously and smiled. This man was exactly her type. a sly man who knew how to turn things into his favour, but, he wasn''t Andy, but they looked exactly the same. That notwithstanding, she could clearly see the differences. Andy was gentle but this one looked exactly like a bad boy. Her type of bad boy.


    You should teach your boys manners, if they treat women this way, how are they different from thugs? Oh, sorry, you are a thug member. Not that I''m looking down on you''''


    ''''Leslie, what is going on? Someone told me you came'''' Joel walked up to them with Mirabel clinging unto his hand.


    ''''Nothing I couldn''t handle. Oh, you and your wife are really painting this ce red. Still in the honeymoon farce?'''' Leslie asked and looked at Mirabel. The thug leader and his boys went away immediately.


    ''''Darling, who is he?'''' Mirabel asked.


    ''''Oh, he is the bastard I told you about. The one who only knows how to create trouble'''' Joel pointed at Leslie.


    ''''Er, is this how you introduce your friend to your wife? I am disappointed''''


    ''''Hi, Leslie, my husband told me a lot about you''''


    ''''Hi, Mirabel'''' Leslie was about to hug Mirabel when Joel got in the way.


    ''''You don''t get to hug my wife. She is mine'''' he said.


    ''''Whoa, who knew you would be so protective of your little wife this much? Buy me a drink, I just saved ady and brought peace to your club''''

    NO!! This it''s not the screwdriver tool that you are thinking of! This interesting drink is made with vodka and orange juice, that''s how basic it is. Served in a highball ss, it has many variations with different names around the world.
