After getting her refill, Nicole looked for a place to sit.
Suddenly, she was jostled by someone, causing her drink to splash all over her skirt and some on the other personâs shoes.
âYou bumped into me!â the man exclaimed.
He was a bit on the heavier side and looked unkempt.
Mistaking Nicole for one of the staff because of her outfit, he loudly blamed her.
Nicole was not pleased.
It was clearly his fault for not paying attention, but he was trying to make it seem like hers.
She met his gaze with a cold stare.
âActually, youâre the one who ran into me.
â
âYou worthless idiot, canât see a thingâ¦â The greasy old man was mid-insult when he caught sight of Nicoleâs stunning looks.
His eyes, which were dull a moment before, suddenly sparkled.
âOh, what a beautyâ¦â He looked Nicole over without hiding his interest.
âA lady as lovely as you get a pass for anything.
But, darling, youâve done a number on my back with that bump.
How do you plan to make it right?â
The mix of his sleazy voice and his balding head was disgusting.
Nicole immediately recognized the greasy old man as Deniz from the Vipo Group.
He was a long-standing supplier for the Hampton family and the likely winner of their latest contract.
Nicoleâs own company was in the running, just behind the Vipo Group.
Getting Deniz out of the picture could just give her the edge she needed.
They had met years before, but it appeared Deniz didnât remember her.
A cold look passed through Nicoleâs eyes, indicating she was ready to deal with both past and present grievances.
Nicole looked down, pretending to be shy.
âWhat would you like me to do to make up for it?â
Denizâs excitement was visible, yet he tried to sound serious.
âMy dear, these shoes of mine are tailor-made, worth a fortune and you canât find them here.
â
Nicole acted surprised, playing the innocent.
âAre they really that expensive?â
Deniz laughed.
âThey are, but Iâll let it slide.
Think of it as making friends with a lovely lady like you.
Just drink a glass in apology to me.
Howâs that sound?â
Nicole was in disbelief.
âIs that all?â
âAbsolutely, Iâll have someone bring the drink right over.
â Deniz was visibly excited, particularly because the stunning Nicole before him boasted an impressive figure that easily outshone those of glamorous models.
Having had a few drinks, his desires were fully aflame, practically screaming for an outlet.
Deniz quickly signaled to a waiter, and a doctored drink was promptly served.

Unable to contain his eagerness, Deniz pressed, âCome on.
Have a drinkâ¦â
Nicole, pretending to be bashful, softly asked, âSir, are you sure you wonât ask for anything in return after I drink this?â
Deniz, thrilled to the core, reassured her with a pat on his stomach, âOf course.
Iâm a man of my word.
Iâll even treat you to a new dressâ¦â
Deniz, mesmerized by Nicoleâs figure and beauty, assumed she would be an easy target, thinking a slight pushback could be easily overcome with a bit of cash.
He even entertained the thought of this leading to more encounters.
After all, in his line of work, such transactions were common and usually didnât lead to any trouble.
