Chapter 5
Jade was looking at her best friend as she was flirting with a man. She could see her best friend giggling when the man served her a bottle of water.
She also saw Kathleen typing on her phone while the man was talking. For sure it's the man's phone number, after a few minutes she saw Kathleen was walking back to their table.
"Hey! guess what?” Kathleen uttered as soon as she sits down on the chair in front of Jade, gazing on her and grinning,
Jade can see the excitement, from Kathleen through her voice and her facial expression. "I knew it already, you got his number right?" She uttered.
"Yes baby, how did you know?” with a fake surprise on her expression.
"Come on, you know that I'm looking at you right? you just left me here alone.” Jade rolled her eyes. Pretending that she's upset.
Kathleen giggled, "hey! don't show me that reaction. You know that I'm doing it for you, remember you ask me to do it? So, I'm doing the favour you ask silly."
"Okay, I got it. But, you think it's a best idea to get it from here? What if that person is sick? we are at the bar though" she raised her eyebrows like she was disgusted with the place.
"That's why? we are looking from here, we need to look for those who need money." Kathleen is trying to explain.
"Money? Who is going to the bar without money? How come they can't afford to buy drinks? Are you serious? for sure they will not come here if they don't have money." Jade Answered with disbelief to Kathleen's idea.
"That's why my target is that bartender, who knows if he needs money? You know, to have some tips for those rich old women that have a crush on them, especially if they have good looks to attract women." She uttered Ignoring the complaints from Jade,
Jade realized the point of Kathleen, especially the last few words she said. "Hmm anyway you have a point.” she nodded in response “So, how long will we stay here?"
"I guess that's all for the night, we need to do something to know this person’s background. Come on we need to go," Kathleen stood up, Jade copied her, but before they left Kathleen called the waiter; Jade gave the tip to the waiter. Once again they turned to the guy they just talked to before, but it's not there anymore, they just both shrugged.
They went straight to the black maybach that parked near the bar entrance, as they came out of the parking lot; On the side of the road they saw a man waiting for a taxi.
This is the topic of their conversation a while ago, Jade instructed the driver to Stop the car, in front of the man.
Kathleen opened the window "hey hop in," she called up the attention of the man. Standing outside of the car.
The man first look at the woman who just ask him to ride on the car,
The man scratched the back of his head and he said shyly, "Hi ma'am, don't worry I will be okay, I'm just waiting for a taxi."
"Come on, don't worry we are not going to rape you, Kathleen answered with a silly joke."
The man smiled and still hesitated to come in, but in the end he still opened the door and rode on the car; he sat next to the driver side.
"Just tell the driver, where are you going.” Kathleen said.
Jade was quietly listening to the conversation of the two until the man sit beside the driver,
"Thank you ma'am," he said, turning to Kathleen. After, he looked at the driver and said his destination, "Capital city hospital sir."
Jade and Kathleen look at each other,
Kathleen coughs, "ahh Alex, if you don't mind who is in the hospital?"
Alex turned to Kathleen sitting in the backside, “it's my youngest sister." He answered.
After that question, silence prevailed inside the car and for almost half an hour they reached the hospital,
"Thank you very much ma'am Kathleen for the ride.” Alex said before he opened the car door.
"Don't mention it, just give our regards to your sister."
"Sure ma'am. He get off the car, he wave to the woman, after her turned around and walk towards on the hospital entrance,"
He noticed the lady next to Kathleen, she never talked since he got in the car and got off. He never hears the voice of that woman, he knows it's the woman with Kathleen in the bar; the woman looks snobbish, opposite to Kathleen that is sweet and cheerful. He shrugged and open the door of the ward, where his sister was lying down in the hospital bed,
His staring at her sister, how he wishes that he has enough money for the operation of his sister. Tomorrow he has a Job interview. That's why he left work early today. He needs to prepare himself for the interview tomorrow, he has a lot of things to prepare for tomorrow.
"Hey! How's my baby sister? how's your feeling now?" He asks to call up the attention of his sister that is too engrossed on playing her mobile.
"Big brother you're here, since when did you arrive?” she put down the phone, this is the way to make her sister busy. She’s playing mobile legend on her phone."
" Just now, I know you're too busy, I shouldn't distract you, you might lose." He replied. And asks "Where is Nathan?"
