"My name is Claire," Claire replied introducing herself. She then pointed to her two friends. She explained, "The blonde is Jenny, and the Arab-faced woman is Maria. We all met and got to know each other when we were working at KTV."Daniel nodded his head. "Your names are very pretty. Just as pretty as your faces, if you want to know," Daniel said in a teasing tone.For God's sake, if it wasn't for the mission, Claire and her friends would have puked their guts out when they heard Daniel's words. There was nothing wrong with Daniel's words. It was just that the man's tone sounded really disgusting.So, Claire only replied with a smile while saying a short, "Thank you."Daniel leaned his body against the back of the chair. "So, you've just been fired and are in desperate need of work, right?" he asked.Claire, Jenny, and Maria nodded enthusiastically."It's just like we told you. We've been frustrated going around looking for jobs but always getting rejected," Maria replied. Her face
The soft tendrils of morning sunlight gently permeated Benjamin's room, casting a warm glow through the minute crevices in the window. With a languid stretch, Benjamin gracefully shifted onto his side and gracefully rose from the comfort of his bed, embracing the new day that unfolded before him. Driven by a sense of purpose, he promptly made his way to the bathroom, where the promise of revitalization awaited him. In the sacred confines of the lavatory, he immersed himself in the rituals of cleansing and rejuvenation, carefully attending to each detail as he readied himself to embark upon the journey that lay beyond the threshold of his dwellingAs if he was not tired at all, Benjamin left Albert's residence in his old sedan.Last night, he and Valerie arrived home at three fifteen. Counting, Benjamin had only slept for less than three hours today. However, his body still felt fit as if he did not do anything tiring last night. In fact, he did not only walk around with Valerie. La
From a distance, a servant was observing the surroundings. Until her eyes accidentally stopped on the commotion happening in the courtyard of the herb house where she worked. The maid's presence resembled a pearl amid a sea of gold, a striking figure that effortlessly distinguished her from the rest. Her beauty set her apart, making her conspicuous among the other maids in the vicinity.With a height of approximately 170cm, her body gracefully traced perfect curves that captivated the beholder. Clad in a knee-length split skirt, she effortlessly showcased her flawless, porcelain legs, a testament to her alluring presence.Her countenance bore an exquisite delicacy, as though meticulously polished a thousand times over, radiating a soft yet mature allure.Her lips, petite and as lusciously red as a ripe peach, beckoned, tempting every man in the world to entertain the thought of taking a bite.A subtle furrow appeared on her forehead, lines of concern etching across her features as s
Benjamin took a deep, contented breath as the rich aroma of the purple ginseng filled his lungs, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.Based on his observations, all these ginseng were of the highest quality with an average age of over ten years.However, notwithstanding this fact, a portion of the ginseng tucked away in the drawer exhibited an even lower quality, bordering on the verge of being deemed nearly unfit for any practical use.In a hushed murmur, Benjamin remarked, "Treasure Village lives up to its name—there are treasures indeed. It's no surprise Joshua managed to secure herbs of the finest quality when he visited this place."Benjamin, perceptive as ever, realized that with such outstanding attributes, Treasure Village appeared oblivious to the fact that they possessed a veritable treasure trove of purple ginseng. It seemed they regarded it merely as ordinary, unaware of its exceptional value that could command a premium price.And so, with a discerning gaze, Benjamin in
"Is this card authentic?" John queried, eyeing Benjamin with skepticism. A disdainful expression adorned his face as he scrutinized Benjamin, who failed to emanate any aura of affluence. "I apologize, Sir. We've had instances where individuals assert possession of a black card, only for us to discover they are, in fact, counterfeit," John explained.Benjamin raised an eyebrow. He sighed softly. He understood what John was trying to say. He squinted his eyes while waving his black card."So, you think my card is fake?" Benjamin asked."Of course," John confidently replied. "I need to make sure whether the card you have is genuine or not."A chuckle escaped Benjamin's lips as he shook his head. He presented his black card and remarked, "Can't you perceive that this card is directly issued by Citibank? My name is explicitly stated on the card, as clear as day."John deliberately averted his gaze, even as the undeniable evidence of Citibank's endorsement adorned Benjamin's black card. How
The police officers arrived at the scene only to discover a young man already handcuffed, leading them to presume he was the prime suspect of the day. Yet, what confounded them was the peculiar absence of any telltale signs of guilt or anxiety in the young man's expression. His countenance remained as tranquil and untroubled as a serene lake."What transpired here? Could someone provide an explanation to us?" inquired one of the commanding police officers, seeking clarity on the unfolding situation.John stepped forward, assuming an arrogant demeanor as he narrated the events according to his version. "This individual arrived at Treasure Village with the intention of purchasing a substantial amount of ginseng, claiming to possess a black card. Given his rustic appearance, doubt naturally crept in regarding whether he was the rightful owner of said black card. My intention was merely to verify the authenticity of his card. However, he haughtily refused and declared he would explore ano
Feifei delicately reached into Benjamin's left pants pocket. Yet, all she could find within was a wallet.Benjamin spoke with calm assurance, "The ID card you're looking for is tucked away safely in that wallet of mine."Feifei couldn't shake off a slight sense of unease as she asked, "Sir, do you mind if I take a peek inside?"Benjamin offered a simple nod, affirming, "You possess complete authority in this matter."Following this, Feifei deftly opened Benjamin's wallet, swiftly extracting his identification card. Upon a cursory examination, she couldn't help but observe that Benjamin's wallet seemed rather devoid, perhaps not even containing a sum exceeding $50.The peculiarity struck Feifei as rather uncommon; a high-ranking executive brandishing a black card, yet his rather modest faux-leather wallet held no more than a meager $50. An intriguing contradiction, wouldn't you agree?Certainly, one could easily misconstrue him as a potential pilferer of executive black cards, given hi
About five minutes later, Evelyn returned with a tray containing a cup of Darjeeling Tea. She placed the cup on the table. She invited Benjamin to enjoy the tea.Evelyn cleared her throat with poise, offering her words with politeness and respect, "I've reached out to my superior; he is Mr. Joseph Moore. Presently, he is outside the province, but he has graciously agreed to rendezvous with you and assured that he will promptly make his way here."Benjamin nodded briefly. He was more interested in the Darjeeling Tea in front of him than the news about the owner of Treasure Village. Benjamin lifted the teacup and then smelled the aroma of the tea. His eyes were closed, while he wondered what aromas he could find in the cup of tea.Upon opening his eyes, Benjamin inquired, "Would you not care to indulge in the same tea and join me in this delightful sip, Evelyn?"Evelyn chuckled, albeit with a subtle stiffness in her laughter. "I'm sorry, but I lean towards wine over the bitterness of te
