Taming The Las Vegas Playboy

Chapter 151 - Blaming On The Hormones (2)

In the storeroom, next to the first restaurant on the ground floor of the Grand MC hotel.

"Remember Wandy! If you tell anyone I'll fire you!"

Mary's voice threatened a woman in front of her. Wandy, a thirty-nine-year-old assistant, stood shakingly in front of the small desk. Marry was sitting behind it.

Wandy was Mary's helper. She was responsible for purchasing goods and ingredients and knew the bills in detail. Wandy was so scared of Mary. She had witnessed the previous assistant got sacked after the woman argued with Mary.

The restaurants were doing great and popular among guests and high-end travelers. A lot of goods and ingredients were purchased every day. Wandy knew there was a loophole if anyone wanted to cheat money from this process. Especially, if a fraud person had power in hands and looked after the purchase lists herself. No one called to check because it was a big hotel and they made a lot of profits already.

Mary was the most powerful person in her office. And the person who could call her to check if suspicion was Chase, the General Manager, and the accounting and finance department.

The previous account manager who was on maternity leave at the moment, she was absent with health issues last year over and over again. Then this year, she became pregnant, so she obviously was only worried about her growing womb. Lacking attention to the small details of the work during these two years. Giving Mary to take advantage of the loophole. She found a way to make up some numbers to suit herself. 

"I won't, Mary."

Wandy quickly responded with a rattled voice. Wanda had a seriously ill mother. They were immigrants from Mexico. Therefore work was very rare. Wandy did not want to be fired from this job because the monthly salary was just enough to make ends meet. It was good money working here but because Wandy had a lot of response for her mother, the rent, the food and bills. She was sure to keep secrets for Wandy. The woman was a witch and evil but she had a connection to the big boss as the rumor said.

"Very well. If Wirata called to see you, then confirmed as I told you. If you caused me into trouble. You can prepare to lose your job ... go away now! "

Mary waved to Wandy to get out. She felt very frustrated with what's going on. Also, the president refused her service in front of Wirata and Chase. Mary hoped they would not dig in the rumor she had spread for years as well.

Most of the staff members who were under Mary were very cautious of the threat. So that was why Mary was able to get away all this time. But a Thai woman dared to challenge to expose her. A woman like Mary would never let anyone threaten her easily!

That afternoon Wirata walked down to see the work around the lobby. Since moving in to live with Stefan, she walked in and out in another way, a private way for only the boss and family.

Wirata rarely walked around the front area. But now, everyone knew who she was. The young Asian woman was the boss's woman and also the account manager. They did give her some respect when they saw her.

Wirata walked to the back garden, behind the kitchen. It was arranged as a garden for employees to sit and relax during their breaks . A thin woman in a hotel uniform was sitting on a bench. She was miles away and did not notice Wirata.

"May I sit here?"

Wirata asked politely, causing the woman to flinch and turned to look at Wirata.

Wandy looked up to see who was asking and her face suddenly turned pale when seeing Wirata. Wandy looked left and right, afraid that Mary would come to see she was with Wirata.

"Um ... I'm just about to return to work."

Wandy said with a polite and quiet voice. She stood up and ready to walk away. Wirata noticed the woman was scared of talking to her and afraid of someone to see because she was looking around all the time.

 "What is your name?" Wirata asked.

"Wandy."

Wandy replied. She wanted to walk away as quickly as she could because Mary could come and see her at any time. Wandy was not ready to lose her job.

"My name is Wirata. I am the account manager. Which department do you work for, Wandy? "

Wirata asked in a friendly gesture. Wandy had no choice but looked at the young lady. She was beautiful and looked elegant in a well-cut suit. She was slender but somehow her personality announced strong and confident, full of power and Wandy felt small in front of her.  

"Food purchasing, Miss."

Wandy answered. Wirata nodded. She got it straight away. This woman was under Mary. She was not confident and  looked suspicious in Wirata's opinions.

With experience and strong instincts, Wirata could smell something fishy and wrong about this woman.

"May I speak with you in my office now? It won't take long."

Wirata asked. Wandy looked as white as paper now. She was scared to the point that her hands were trembling. She had no choice so she nodded and followed Wirata to the upper floor office.

Wandy sat down on the chair in front of the big desk where Wirata was sitting behind it.

"Okay, Wandy."

The smooth voice started, sitting with her back straight and with intelligent eyes looking at Wandy.

Wandy could not stare straight into Wirata's eyes, so she stared at the pen holder instead. Her hands were sweating.

"I don't want to waste our time. I will give you a brief about what's going on. I have some suspicions about Mary's work. So, please tell me the truth. I promise to give full justice to you and everyone. And don't be scared of anybody. If you are innocent, I will protect you. "

Wandy's heart jumped fast after listening. This young lady was not giving about any shit. She was so open and straightforward. The way she spoke telling Wandy that she knew quite a lot already.

Wandy was shocked and her heart was beating rapidly, Fear was all she felt at this moment. She had no doubt why Stefan Mackenzie had fallen for this young woman. As far as Wandy could think, the woman only talked to her for less than five minutes and she could detect that something was off.

 Mary was going to fire her for sure no doubt about it. People saw when Wandy walked to the elevator with Wirata. Wandy looked at Wirata. She saw braveness and power. She saw sincerity and leadership. Wandy tried to control her emotions.

"I don't want to lose my job. I have a sick mother who needs my care and we don't have much money for treatment and medicine. The cost of food and bills depends on my income alone. "

Wandy finally said out.

"Tell me everything you know about Mary. You can trust me. Don't be afraid if you did nothing wrong. I give you my words that I will not let anybody get bullied in this place. Everyone will be treated fair and equal."

Wirata said with smooth but serious with her words. Wandy then started to tell Wirata everything she knew. Wirata was listening quietly and intently.

Wirata felt sorry for Wandy. This woman had a very poor life. But she had great gratitude to her mother for not giving up on her. She was unfortunate to work for a bad person like Mary.

"From now on, do as I am telling you to do."

Wirata planed for Wandy to gather all the evidence. Including when Mary called in to meet, Wandy had to secretly record the conversation. After talking, Wandy was so relieved that Wirata believed her. The face that was always sad had a smile of relief and thankful to Wirata.

Wandy thank God that at least this world still had some justice after all. There were still good human beings around the corners. Wandy hoped that the boss's lady would be able to handle the problems here.

 If these were the case, many employees who were struggling and were threatened like Wandy would feel safe and would be willing to work harder and be loyal to their workplace.
