Taming The Las Vegas Playboy

Chapter 179 - There Are Alway The Tests In Life (1)

Wirata told the taxi driver that she wanted to stop at the supermarket on the way to the apartment. There was a place that allowed small pets to go in with their owners.

She wanted to buy a few things, milk and coffee for example.

When being outside like this, she felt lonely. She missed him because of the habit that he had always been with her by her side. Why did she let the silly emotions attack her like this? The feelings of jealousy and painful memory. She should not let it hurt her at all. As it was not the present. It was the past and it's long gone.

"Oh ... I'm sorry."

Wirata hurried to apologize when her trolley accidentally bumped into the back of an American woman.

"It's okay. No worries."

She turned to said to Wirata and she was staring at her for a second.  

"Um ... Are you Thai?"

She asked. Wirata nodded and gave her a smile.

"Yes. I am. How did you know?"

She was surprised that the lady could point out.

"Well, I am an American-Thai. I don't know but I think I could point out Asian people who are Thais who are Chinese and so on."

"Realy? Wow! I am Wirata, by the way."

Wirata introduced herself. She looked at the stunning woman in front of her. She looked so American with her long wavy brown hair tied up in ponytail style through the cap hole.

"My name is Amiya. Um, I don't know why but I have the feeling that I have seen you before. Let me think for a minute."

Amiya said. She felt familiar with this face. But she just had just been here only over a month and had not met many people yet. Only when it was the party that her father held for her. Amiya widened her eyes when she thought about the party.

"Oh, I think I remember now! You are the lady who went to Santo's house with Stefan, right? I saw you from the window upstairs. Oh, I am Santo's daughter. Amiya O'Neal."

Amiya said her full name, making Wirata widened her eyes in surprise. What a small world! 

"Oh...Wow."

Wirata exclaimed and could not find any more words to say. As far as she remembered, Santo O'Neal wanted to offer his young daughter to Stefan. And looking at the young beautiful lady in front of her. She was stunning and very attractive. The kind of woman that a man would turn to look twice when she walked passed.

 What a night! Tonight, God was testing her strength for sure!

"Oh, I recalled that we left the party before you came down. So sorry about that. And how was your stomach that night? Your father said that you got a stomachache."

Wirata asked with a polite gesture. She was thinking if Stefan stayed a little longer to meet with this young beautiful woman. What would be his reaction? 

Amiya recalled that she saw how much Stefan cared for this woman. The way he watched her steps when they were walking up to the front terrace. And Amiya wondered if she knew about Santo's scam or not, the scam about offering Amiya to Stefan. She felt unease and she liked the woman with the puppy in her arms as she looked friendly and she was Thai. Amiya was missing Thailand to bits right now.

 "May I ask? You are Stefan's date, right?"

Amiya reduced her voice down a little. But it was late at night and there were not many customers shopped at this time.

"Um, I am his fiancee."

Wirata decided to tell the truth.

"Oh, that's great. And where is he right now? What are you doing out here at this time of the night?"

Amiya asked as she believed Stefan was so protective of the way he treated Wirata. But now she was here alone with the dog. It was a little not right in her opinions.

"Um, I just..."

Wirata was not sure if she could tell her personal stuff to Amiya. But somehow, she felt the sincerity through the young lady's expression.

"Well, you know what, I am staying at a small hotel around here. If you like to go to my room and we can have a chat properly."

Amiya offered. Looking at Wirata, she could get that there was something off. The lady looked a bit upset.

Wirata considered it and looked at Summer in her arms.

 "Does the hotel allow the guests to bring pets in?"

Wirata asked in an uncertain voice. Amiya reached for Summer's head and stroked gently.

"Yes. It is a pet-friendly hotel."

Amiya answered. She looked at her watch, it was 11 o'clock. Amiya had to go out to shop late at night because she was afraid that the mafia Bernardo and his men also her own father would see her. That night after she had escaped from the jackass's car with his gun in her hand. She decided to stay. And later, her friend who was a CIA spy asked her to do a job for him. As she was a genius hacker when she was in England. The job was involved with powerful people in America. So that was the reason she was still here right now.

Wirata sighed and looked at Amiya's face for a moment.

"That's great. Since it's late I will check in there too, if there is a room available for me."

"There are two beds in my room. You can stay with me. Why have to waste money."

Amiya said.

"Oh, no. I won't do that to you. Have you got everything you need?"

Wirata asked and looked at Amiya's trolley.

"Yes. Let's go!"

 The two then rushed to pay and walked out of the supermarket. The hotel was only two blocks from the supermarket.

Wirata decided to book one room for herself on the same floor but quite far apart. Wirata brought things into the room and then she followed Amiya to her room.

"I have been staying here for over a month now."

Amiya told Wirata when opening the door and walked inside. The room was a standard one. Wirata walked to sit on the sofa by the windows. Summer was sleeping on her lap.

"Your puppy is so cute. What is his name?"

"Summer. He is just one year old and a bit."

Wirata replied with her soft voice, touching softly on Summer's back. She was thinking of his daddy and was wondering if he came back home yet.

After putting her shopping bags away, Amiya came and sat next to Wirata.

"I am twenty-two years old. What about you?"

Amiya asked openly.

"The same as you. We can be friends."

Wirata said with a friendly smile and Amiya nodded gladly.

"Sure! It must be fate! And the world is so small."

 The two women reached out to grab each other hand with a happy smile.

"So why are you staying in a hotel like this?"

Wirata asked. She saw Amiya sighed heavily.  

"It's a shame but I will spill it out as we are friends now. It's a long story but I can cut it short. My father wanted to use me to pay for his debt. Yeah, it's a father of the year."

Amiya said sarcastically about her father. Wirata was listening quietly and was getting the picture as it was a similar story to hers. So Amiya was about to have a fate like Wirata's.

 "Well, I've heard a little from Stefan that your father owed him some money."

Wirata said. Amiya sighed again.

 "I'm not close to my father. Since my mother died, when I was twelve, my grandparents took me back to Thailand with my father's permission. Until fifteen, they sent me to study in England. My father did not have much time for me. I owed my life to my grandma and grandpa. And just when I have finished my education. My dad asked me to come. I just thought, well, he is my father after all. So I came here. And that was when he planned the scam to offer me to rich men."

 Wirata understood how Amiya felt. She continued to listen silently.

"I said no. So my father locked me in the room. I was looking for a way to escape. That's when I saw you and Stefan coming in from the window upstairs."

 Amiya told Wirata the whole process of how she escaped. When she finished Wirata squeezed her hand gently.

"I am sorry."

 Wirata said.

"If you want to live in this city. I do have an apartment. It's a year contract and I have already paid for it. Nobody is living there at the moment as I am with Stefan. If you don't have a place to stay. You can stay at my place."

 Wirata offered. Amiya hugged her.

"Thanks so much. I will surely consider it. I can rent it from you. I was not sure where I was going before. That's why I haven't rented a place yet. But now I have to be here to help do a friend's favor."

Amiya told Wirata.  Now she had a secret job to do and had to make sure that the place was a good place to hide, too.  

"So, please tell me about your situation? Why are you out here this time of the night?"

Amiya asked. Wirata sighed.

"I am not sure how to say. It's stupid when I think about it."

She murmured.

 "I and Stefan, we are engaged. I am pregnant for two months now."

"Oh, wow. That's great. Congratulations!"

Amiya said with her loud voice and hugged Wirata.

 Wirata was thinking of him right now. Stefan Mackenzie. She missed him so much. But also felt heartache, too. She swallowed a lump in her throat. 

 "Are you two having an argument?"

Amiya asked. Seeing Wirata was upset. She had a sad expression on her face.  

"It's his old story. Stefan is a man who knew a lot of women if you understand what I mean. I know it isn't his false. The past had gone. But I guess it is because of the hormones making me a bit sensitive."

She said and sighed again. Knowing in her full heart that it was not his false. But she was unable to get rid of the old memory so she could not face him tonight. That was all.

 "I am sorry. I don't know how to comfort you and make you feel better. But I suggest that you should stay here until you feel okay. Sometimes, being separated from the problem could make you see more clearly. "

Amiya said. Wirata felt better to have someone to talk to and to get some unhappy feelings out of her system.

The two women talked for a long time until almost 2 a.m. Wirata then said goodnight and went to sleep in her hotel room.
