Casino Manila

Martinez Memorial Hospital.

"What happened?" David greeted her. Fast than to five o'clock he immediately went to the front of the hospital's information desk.

She borrowed the cell phone of one of the nurses who also attended to her when she was rushed to the hospital, and called David. Her doctor and the director of this hospital. The man was still at home when he received the call.

"My mom's unconscious... She has been kidnapped by the loan sharks." Brief explanation from Margaret.

"And you? What's this?" He holds on the hem of her school uniform. "Blood?! Are you injured?!.. This is a worried question. " Marie, check her if she has a bruise or something.. " He ordered the nurse who was following him. She must be David's assistant.

"I'm fine.. I've no bruises..." She stopped the woman who was about to approach her. "I just called you so you can check my mom's health status." She said to David.

"You used the hospital phone, don't you have one?"

"En."

"Here.. Use mine.." It was Zion's voice, the man had arrived.

She looked to the man.. He was wearing a black jacket... His outfit suited him.

"No need.. I'll buy my own." She refused the man's offer.

"You can return it to me when you have your own." Still insisting with a cold voice.

"Jenny, if you need a phone.. I can buy a new one and lend it to you..." David interrupted, listening to their conversation.

"En." Margaret nodded.. "Alright. But don't suddenly charge me..." She accepted the offer. It is better for her to lend now than to borrow...

"You don't need a mobile phone in today's situation?" Zion asked Margaret with furrowed brows. He feels annoyed because of her open rejection of his help. He just wants to somehow be able to pay for what she did the abandoned building earlier.

"Not really... I don't have anyone else to call... We don't have other families." She explained to the man.. "And I can't return it to you since I'm sure we will never meet again..." She assuredly added it here

"Right..." Zion answered briefly.

"I think we should go to your mom's hospital room now." David said who was standing behind her. "I'll ask my assistant to buy you phone now" he started walking and she followed him. Zion walked with her and his two men were behind them.

"The police investigator is on his way here to ask you something.. Regarding the kidnapping case.." He softly whispered to her which caused her to walk slowly..

"En.. I know what to answer to their questions.. No need to worry.."

"Am not worried..." He replied.. "But curious. "

"Curiosity kills the cat Sir.. Don't you know that?"

"Am a different kind of cat.." Zion said.

Margaret was speechless... After a while she spoke again.

"Do you know any place where you can make easy money?" She asked.

Zion glanced at her. The expression on his face was serious. Margaret bit her lower lip...

"You see, I need money right now.. And it's really urgent."

"I can lend you money."

"...... How much?"

"How much do you need?" Zion asked her back.

Meanwhile.. Behind them... Aron is all ears..

'What kind of conversation is this?' He whispered to himself... His boss who you can't even ask to buy a beer... Proposed a loan to someone who only spent 2 hours with him... 'This is unfair!.... No rather ... This is interesting!

"One Million.." Margaret answered bluntly..

"Deal." Zion answered quickly which caused Aron to stop walking. Zion felt that, so he turned back. And there is Aron looking so shocked with open mouth.. "Are you okay Aron?" He asked him.

"What happened?" David also asked after hearing Zion's question so he also turned around. David was two steps away from Zion and them, and because he was walking ahead of them so he couldn't hear the two of them whispering... Except for Aron who was really all ears.

"Ahh.. Sorry.. I just remembered something boss.." Aron answered and continued walking again. The predecessors did the same.

"When can I give you the money?" Zion asked Margaret softly again.

"Bring me to Casino Manila after I finish here." The young woman replied that she was referring to her mother's case and admission to the hospital.

"Casino Manila?... Are you going to gamble?" This is a serious question..

"How can I repay that much money of yours if I don't gamble?, and besides I trust my instincts.. I know I can win.." Her determined answer silenced Zion.

Now, he's more curious..

They entered the room that her mother was taken to. David spoke to the nurse who was currently taking care of her mother. After that, he turned to face her..

"She's fine.. She's just unconscious because of the medicine that her abductors made her smell. She will wake up any time soon.." David explained to her with a smile.

"That's a relief.. " Margaret breathed a sigh of relief.. She can't just leave the real Jenny's mother alone. That's her promise.. "Thank you Doc, "

"It's my duty as a doctor.. No need to thank me.." He was still smiling.. "But I'm curious, where will you get the money to pay the bills?.. I know you're still a student .. You just got out of the hospital---"

"You've been hospitalized?" Zion interrupted what David was about to say.

"Yes.. But it's because of an accident..." She answered him then turned to David. "I will look for money.. No need to worry.. But I might bother you to find me a nurse who can watch over Mama for a while." She requested.

"Alright.. But don't forget to call me again if there's anything wrong that happens."

"Got it.." She approached her mother's bed.. Then she whispered

"Mom, this is the last time you will experience hardship. Tomorrow when you wake up... I promise you... You will start living in luxury.. Together with auntie Selys family.." She caressed her mother's face ... The woman has her eyes closed but the fear and worries can still be seen on her face. She looked at Zion.

"How's the head leader of the loan shark?" Her question is serious.

"He wasn't there.. So we didn't catch him.. But we already have a lead so leave it to us."

Margaret just nodded..

"Doc, there are police outside the room.. They're here to investigate.." It's Marie.. David's assistant..

David turned to Jenny, he was waiting for the girl's approval as to whether the investigators would be allowed in. Margaret nodded.

"Let them in." He told Marie. "I'll leave you guys first.. I'll ask Marie to buy you phone.. Right away.

"Thank you Doc." She also said goodbye to the doctor who finally came out instead of the police who came in to investigate.

The investigator asked a lot of questions.. While Margaret was busy answering with the highest level of acting, Which Aron loved. While Zion just watched silently while secretly enjoying watching the expression of the girl's acting face. After the investigation, the police didn't stay long and said goodbye.. And after another 10 minutes, Marie came back with the Android phone she bought..

"Doc.David told me to take good care of your mother." Marie said. "Are you leaving?"

"Yes.. I need to find money to pay for the bills." I will also come back soon.. When Mama wakes up, tell her that i go back home to get some clothes for her to change. Tell her that nothing more, nothing less.... Can you do that?" It was a long instruction..

"Yes ma'am. Doc also asked me to follow your orders."

"Thank you Marie.. For understanding.." She held her hand. It only responded with a smile and a nod.

She then faced Zion who was already standing near the door.

"I need to change clothes.. Let's go." She then said and they left the room together.

"You really meant to go to Manila casino?" Zion still couldn't believe it.

"Boss, are you sure you will lend her money? What if she lose..?" Aron whispered to Zion

"Yes, I'm serious." She answered Zion's question and ignored what Aron said.

"Let's buy some new clothes to wear then. We can't go there with this outfit." Zion answered with conviction.

"En. Lead the way." She commanded him with a smile.

"Is it because I'm the wallet now?" Zion asked with wrinkled forehead.

Margaret clapped and answered at the same time.. "Yes!!"

Zion walked first, headed for the black hilux that Aron was driving. He opened the passenger seat.. While typing on the phone, Margaret went on board. She thought she was alone in the passenger seat when the man also got in there and sat next to her.

"Boss, where are we going?" Aaron asked..

"MOA." Zion's short answer..

M. O. A.. Mall of Asia. The biggest mall of the Philippines.

"Got it boss..!" And he started the car

.........

"Are you still not finished yet, miss?" Aron asked.. She is currently in the dressing room inside the Mall. Aron watched over her because Zion was also busy getting dressed.

"Almost done.. I'm putting some make up. Wait for a bit" She answered.

"Is she still not done?" She heard Zion's voice..

"She said almost boss.."

"That's fine, casino Manila is still preparing for their helipad that we can use to land." Zion's spoke again..

'Helipad... Margaret whispered.. 'So, they will take a helicopter to reach the destination without traffic.. Hmmmm... That's great. '

She finished getting ready.. Wearing a fitted red backless gown, you can see the perfect curves of her body and her healthy cleavage.. She's 18 yet she has a nice figure... Also wearing a ruby ​​necklace that she and Aron bought, because he is her shopping companion while Zion is also busy buying his own clothes. The ruby ​​is a set. earrings, necklace to ring.But she only wore a necklace and earrings. She pushed back her hair that she slightly messed up so that some strands would fall on the side of her face... She wore black heels that partnered with her also black pouch. Her make up looks so elegant and not vulgar.. There's only two words to describe. Elegant and charming.

"I'm done..." She said then exited the dressing room..

The two men did not immediately react when they saw the woman come out of the dressing room.. They are both speechless together with the staff.

"I'm ready.. Let's go?" Margaret smiled again.

Zion and Aron let out a low coug

"Yes.." Zion spoke. "Let's go"

"Ehem... " it's Aron.. "The helicopter is also ready to depart boss, Cain said."

"Good" he answered.. Then he offered his elbow to Jenny which the girl accepted.

"Thanks... Brother."

Zion suddenly stopped walking and violently looked at the woman next to him. A shocking word came out of his mouth

"What?!"
