The Golden Diamond Club was the most famous night club of T City, and an endless stream of people visited it every night. Literally thousands of them would flock here for their idea of fun, and business was always booming. These visitors were mostly heirs of rich and powerful families, but there were some ordinary people with meager wages too. However, this difference in status didn't affect the communication between those people, because they all came here for one simple reason: they were lonely.
But wait! That was just one of the reason, and not the primary one. The real reason the Golden Diamond Club was so popular was that customers here had their pick of options. They could either find a lady to accompany them for the night. Or, they could also find a tea lady. These 'tea ladies' would offer their skills for flattering the customer, but not their bodies, which was what some people, if not all of them, wanted.
One such tea lady was Maggie Jiang!
In her private room,
two men were sitting opposite her right now. One was a middle-aged man, and the other was a young man. They looked somewhat similar and presumably, they were related through patriarchal blood.
After a while, the middle-aged man picked up the tea cup in front of him and smelled it. He nodded with satisfaction before taking a sip, as if the fragrance was to his liking. Then, he put down his cup on the table and looked admiringly at Maggie Jiang. "Miss Jiang, your tea making skills are getting better and better every day. Every day, I think about your tea and how I would get to drink it in the evening, and it makes my day!"
His eyes betrayed his real emotions though. Perhaps it was because of the dim light in the room, but Maggie Jiang did not notice the lust in his eyes.
His son, Seamus Shi, heard his words and his eyes turned cold with a suppressed anger.
It seemed to him that his father really liked this tea-making woman!
He knew well how much this old man wanted her. Was his father really going to marry a woman just for the tea she made?!
Was this woman even qualified enough to be a member of their family?
Ridiculous!
Maggie Jiang's long black hair fell down her shoulders. Her dark eyes could be seen shining in the glow of the incandescent lighting, which made her look even more charming. In addition, she was wearing a low-key but elegant work uniform, which accented her graceful figure and made it more attractive.
To be honest, Mr. Shi had never met a woman as talented and self-respecting as Maggie Jiang in any of the nightclubs or recreational centers he had visited before. She was like a lotus blooming in the mud, and with her was attached a sense of superiority that could not be trifled with.
And the more untouchable this white lotus was, the more he wanted to taste her!
"I'm flattered, Mr. Shi. I do hope you like my tea."
"Of course I do. In fact, I like your tea the most of all teas. By the way, I haven't introduced my son to you yet. Meet Seamus Shi." He pointed to his son.
Maggie Jiang nodded at the young man in front of her. Seeing that the tea in his cup was almost finished, she quickly stood up and added some more.
After a few more rounds of tea, the middle-aged man's mobile phone suddenly rang. He picked up the call and then got up after a few "hmms" and "okays". "Seamus, I have something urgent I need to deal with. If you don't have anything to do at the moment, you can stay here and enjoy some more of this delicious tea. She is very good at her craft!"
"Okay."
"Then I must leave now."
The middle-aged man then looked at Maggie Jiang. "I'll see you next time, Ms. Jiang."
"Yes, Mr. Shi." She nodded and got up.
The door closed behind him and only Maggie Jiang and Seamus Shi were left in the room.
At this very moment, Seamus's eyes were focused on the woman sitting opposite to him, but he was not saying anything at all. Like two laser pointers, his eyes stayed put on Maggie, as if he wanted to see through her mind.
This woman was indeed very beautiful. However...
People working in these kind of places and occupation were not decent people. Most of them just wanted to get their hands on the money in their customers' pockets!
He was quite familiar with the name Maggie Jiang, because his father had mentioned it several times. He had always said that she was really good at making tea and had also told him she was an innocent and self-respecting woman. She only sold her skills and did not sleep with her customers. Seamus had seen the strong admiration in his father's eyes!
He knew that there was a chance his father might have fallen in love with this woman!
But no way!
He could not allow his father to marry a tramp. In his eyes, except for his mother, no one was qualified enough to be his father's partner!
He wasn't here for the tea. He had agreed to accompany his father today to see if this woman's tea really was that good. And he wanted to judge her character too.
After observing her for so long, he still had no idea whether she was keeping her chastity or not. He was sure of one thing though! She really made excellent tea!
"Mr. Shi, don't you want to drink tea anymore?" Maggie broke the silence in the room and her soft voice reverberated everywhere.
Seamus didn't answer, but his eyes were still fixed on her face. Was she good enough?
Although Seamus was sitting down on the sofa, she could still see that he was very tall. He was easily above six feet in height. His suit jacket was casually laid down on the armrest of the sofa, but it would never leave any creases on the suit. A tie was carefully folded into a triangular shape and put neatly in the coat pocket.
His charming posture seemed natural. Although he looked very young at first glance, the aura he had around him was not as deep and experienced as it should be for a man at his age.
Maggie had heard that that the successor of the Crystal Group was not a simple person and meeting him was almost impossible. Today, after she saw him in person, she knew that he really deserved that reputation!
Then her eyes fell on his right hand which was supporting his forehead. His fingers were long and beautiful, with distinct joints, and his handsome and deep features looked as if they had been carved on his face by a skilled artist.
No wonder every single lady of T City was attracted by him!
"Miss Jiang, do you think I am more handsome than my father?" A trace of contempt flashed through Seamus's eyes as he suddenly asked an impossible question.
The reason behind that question was simple. Seamus knew that women in these kind of places were all the same. Young or middle-aged, as long as a man was rich enough, they would fall in love with him, or appear to have done so!
He really didn't know what kind of method, technique, or trick she had used to fascinate his father!
"What?"
"Are my words too profound? Or are you just pretending to be unable?" Seamus sounded a little impatient.
"No... You are... Umm... more charming than him," she replied awkwardly. What else could she say? She was always very eloquent, but at this moment, she stammered!
What a shame!
Hearing that, Seamus brought out a small vacuum cup from his suit pocket and pushed it in front of her. "Miss Jiang, I heard from my father that you are very familiar with the kinds of tea. In fact, he told me that you can tell what kind of tea it is just by a sip. However, I don't believe that. If you can tell me the name of the tea I have brought, I will believe you. What do you think?"
Oh?
He was asking her to guess the name of the tea by drinking it?
This guy was really interesting. Since he wanted to test her, she would certainly show him that she had real skill.
"Okay."
Maggie unscrewed the lid and took a small sip.
When he saw this, a hint of light flashed through his eyes and disappeared in an instant... She never noticed it.
"So what kind of tea did you drink?"
"Biluochun."
"Yes, you are right." After saying that, he closed his eyes and stopped talking once more.
A moment later...
Perhaps it was because the thermostat was set too high, or it could have been some other reason, but Maggie suddenly felt a little stuffy. She really wanted to lower the temperature setting, but she was afraid that Seamus might feel cold.
Then her face began to burn all of a sudden, and her limbs began to become weak and feeble.
'Huh?
What... What's happening to me?'
As a few moments passed by, she felt more and more uncomfortable, as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
Just as she was about to find an excuse to leave, Seamus suddenly piped up, "Maggie Jiang, don't you ever dream of marrying my father! I am not going to let a woman like you enter our family. My father told me that although you work here, you have always kept your chastity. I want to confirm it today!"
Wait!
What did he mean?
Confirm it?
How was he going to confirm it?
Maggie suddenly felt afraid! She wanted to stand up, but her body was so weak that she couldn't move at all.
"Humph... You drank my tea, time to pay for it!" Seamus walked up to her and looked down. It was at that moment that she saw the disdain in his eyes!
"You... Did you drug the tea?"
Seamus didn't answer. The disdain in his eyes, however, increased. He walked towards the door and locked it!
Then he came back to her and pinched her chin with his slender fingers, forcing her to look at him.
What the hell did this man want to do to her!
She had no enmity with him, and she had never even dreamt of marrying his father!
Why was he doing this to her? !
Maggie's eyes were filled with coldness and anger, and then a strong sense of pressure came to her.
"Take off your clothes."
"What... What? !" She looked at him in horror, hoping that she had misheard.
"Oh, forgive me! I almost forgot that you are too weak right now to do that!" With a sneer and a sarcastic apology, Seamus approached her impatiently!
"What... What are you doing? !"
"A man and a woman are in a room alone. What do you think is going to happen? Haven't you always wanted to marry my father? But if he comes to know that I have used you, I believe that he won't marry you after that!" He looked like a devil from hell, and his very presence made Maggie's pores creep out, as if ants were crawling over her.
"Let go of me, you bastard! I never even thought about marrying your father. You can't do this to me. I'm not the kind of woman you think I am. Let go of me. Stop this!" Maggie struggled desperately, but whatever she did was in vain...
"Maybe you'll enjoy this later." His voice was cold and emotionless.
"You bastard! Seamus Shi, let go of me!"
At that moment, Maggie was completely desperate. She knew that even if she shouted at the top of her lungs, no one would be there to save her!
Slowly but surely, he took off her uniform, leaving just her inner wear on her!
When he looked at her soft, white figure, a kind of tenderness spread in his chest, like the weeds of spring water had been wrapped around him tightly.
He narrowed his eyes and whispered in a low and hoarse voice, "You coquette!"
Before she could say anything, the smile on his face deepened...
"Arghh!"
The way he was approaching her sobered her chaotic thoughts a little.
"Fuck off! Fuck off!" She screamed and pushed him with all the strength she could muster, which wasn't much after being drugged.
But she couldn't move at all. The drug was wearing her down, and Seamus was rather strong. The sense of shame and fury made Maggie want to bite him to pieces!
How could this man do this to her?
Why did he want to take away her most precious thing? She had done nothing to deserve this!
Thinking about what was going on, tears kept spilling over the corners of her eyes as the pain beneath her stomach increased. She looked at the devil-like man in front of her with blurred eyes, and her chest seemed to have been tightened. Even breathing was difficult!
It was a long time before he got off from her. As he saw the dazzling blood that had spilled out on her body, his eyes shivered with excitement and the feeling of victory!
Pretty soon, he regained his indifference. He picked up his shirt from the ground and put it on, as if nothing had happened just now...
Maggie wanted to slap him with all of herself, but she felt so weak. She could only look at him fiercely and helplessly.
Staring at the unwillingness and anger on her face, he felt happy. He stood up, picked up her broken dress from the ground and threw it on her.
Then he brought out a pack of cigarettes, lit one and took a deep puff. "I didn't expect you to have really kept your chastity like my father said, but you can't take it as a trick to seduce men anymore. Stop dream of marrying my father. I won't let you enter our family and be my stepmother!"
"You bastard! All you rich pigs can think about is that everyone else is just vile! Everyone who gets close to you is for your money, right? Listen, you bastard! I'm not the kind of woman you think I am. I've never even thought of marrying your father, nor have I ever thought of entering the Shi family!" she roared angrily. The desperation in her eyes was instantly replaced by two balls of anger, as if she would spurt fire at any time and burn down the devil in front of her!
Hearing that, he merely laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke ever.
She thought that he would believe this nonsense?
Which vain woman would say that what she really wanted was to marry a rich man?
A sudden knocking at the door echoed in the room.
