“The article about the Empire Casino is short of a suitable photo. I'm here to take one more shoot.”You said.
“Is it necessary to come in person? Why don't you just call the casino?”Edward was angry.
“This is my first job, and I want to put in my best effort, that's why I came by myself.” You said.
“Well, I'll reward you for your earnest efforts.”He said.
“Thank you. I'll do by best.” You said.
“ So what are you doing here?”You asked.
“When is it your turn to have a say in my affairs?” He frowned.
“I must be out of my mind! Why did I say that…” You thought.
“Just show my concern…”You said.
Then Joseph Edward 's phone rings again, and he looks at it as if it's an urgent call.
“Anyway, you'd better not stay here too long. It's for your own good.”Edward said.
Joseph Edward leaves without looking back.
“Finally, it's over. I wonder what will happen next...” You thought to yourself.
You come to the Empire Casino, and you are dazzled by the magnificent decoration. Everyone here, no matter happy or angry, has a pair of greedy eyes. The greediest man in the crowd is making his way up to you, with a fat belly that makes his clothes look like they're ready to fall apart.
“Hey, my name is Albright. How may I address you, this beautiful lady?” said Albright.
“This guy looks like a pervert. Shall I ignore his pick-up lines?” You thought.
You don't want to pay attention to him, so you pretend not to see him and want to leave from the side, but he stops you.
“What do you want?”You asked.
“There's no name in this country that I can't know.” He said.
“What's my name got to do with you!” You said.
“Maybe we won't meet again, but maybe we'll have a relationship soon. Anyway, aren't names made for people to remember?” He said.
“I'm Jessica. Can you leave me alone now?” You said.
“ You’d better spend more time in a gym before hitting on a girl.” You said.
Albright is a little angry, but eventually, he manages to calm himself down.
“Hahaha, very few people in this country dare to talk to me like that.”Albright said.
“Then you really should get out and see the world.” You said.
Albright doesn't say anything more. Instead, he leans towards you and takes a whiff of your neck. His expression speaks for the word pervert.
“I like this smell.”Albright said.
You frowned, “I’d better leave now.”
Albright stops you again when you are about to leave.
“I can tell you are not here to gamble. What are you looking for? Maybe I can help you.” He said.
“I’m looking for Derek, the owner of this casino.” You said.
“That’s easy. Bella!” He said.
A woman dressed as a bunny comes over upon hearing Albright's call.
“Yes, my master.” Bella said.
You are surprised and thought to yourself ”This lady calls him master? Are they playing a role-playing game?”
Albright lifts his hand and slaps Bella in the face hard and knocks her to the ground.
He’s angry, “Why are you so slow?”
You step forward to help Bella, but Bella pushes you away. She kneels nervously before Albright.
“It's my fault. I'm sorry, master. Please forgive me.” Bella said.
“ What are you doing? Why did you slap her?”You’re angry.
“Relax! She is my slave and needs to be disciplined once in a while. She is proud for it and enjoy it very much actually.” He said with a smile on his face.
“Bring this lady to Derek.” He said.
“Yes, master.” Bella said.
Albright walks away from you, and Bella takes you cap in hand to Derek. Looking at the way Bella behaves, you can't help but talk to her.
“Why are you so obedient to Albright? Is this a sort of game for you?” You asked Bella.
“No, it's not a game. Albright is my master, so he's always right.” She answered.
“Are you really willing to do that? No one can force you if you don't want to.” You said.
“No, nobody forces me. I love my master.”She said.
“You are such a strange person.” You said.
Bella takes you to a room that is large and empty. The most striking thing is a huge cage in the middle of the room.
“That's Derek.” Bella said.
When you follow Bella's finger, you see a middle-aged man with a cigar and a glass of wine. He is exquisitely dressed, and one can easily tell he is a smart businessman from his appearance. When you want to thank Bella, you find she's gone, so you go up to Derek and greet him.
“Hello, Mr. Derek.” You smiled.
Derek turns to face you with a kind smile.
“Hello, Miss beautiful. How may I help you?”Derek said.
”I'm Jessica from X magazine. May I interview you again?” You said.
“Oh, I see. Then I have to say sorry. I don't want to be interviewed again.” He said.
“I know the journalists who came last time was rude to you. I’m sorry.” You said.
“No, it has nothing to do with him. I simply don’t want to be interviewed again.” He said.
“I sincerely request you to grant me an interview, which will only take a few minutes of your time.” You said.
“If everyone asks me as you do, I will be a victim of karoshi. It's a matter of principle.” He said.
“I can assure you that your interview with me will be a great publicity stunt for you.” You said.
“Miss Jessica, do you think I still need to promote myself now? I’d rather keep a low profile.” Dreck said.
“Don't be so hard on a little girl, just talk for a few minutes! You're idling anyway. Is that right, Miss Jessica?”Albright said.
Albright walks up to you with his fat belly.
“I didn't expect this pervert to speak for me!” You’re surprised and thought to yourself.
“Yes, just a few minutes.” You said.
Derek looks calmly at Albright and you and puts on the kind smile again.
