A chilly wind kicks up just then. “Keep it,” I tell her.
She balks, but I want to get back to my call. I wave her off and take a few steps away.
“Say that again?” I ask Ronald.
“Lee Hao Young is here, and he’s pissed as hell that you’re not here to greet him,” Ronald explains. “Keeps saying how disrespectful it is.”
“Hao Young finished his business and went back to his hotel.”
“Well, he changed his mind and decided to come to The Lotus. Shit, man, you better get back here.”
“All right, all right,” I say. Hanging up with Ronald, I call Cheryl. “When did Hao Young arrive?”
“Lee Hao Young?” she asks. “He’s not here.”
“Are you sure? I just got a frantic call from Ronald.”
“Security is supposed to notify me the instant Hao Young arrives. I wouldn’t let someone as important as Lee Hao Young escape my notice.”
I believe her. I hired Cheryl because of her high level of competence and trustworthiness. I could have pointed her out to Bridget as a worthy example of my hiring decisions, but I didn’t feel like defending myself. It shouldn’t matter what Bridget thinks of me.
“Where’s Ronald?” I ask.
“Let me see… He’s by the bar. Laughing his head off.”
Fucking Ronald Ho.
“You want me to throw the asshole out?” Cheryl asks me.
“No. I’ll deal with him when I’m back.”
Hanging up, I wait by the car till JD returns.
“No coed pussy for me tonight,” JD sighs as he climbs into the car.
“Don’t let her drink so much next time,” I say. “She would have let you in her pants even without the alcohol.”
“Yeah, yeah, but she’s cute when she’s drunk. I’ll just invite her over to my place next time. That way she won’t be bringing her dowdy chaperone with her. Talk about a turn-off.”
“I don’t know about that,” I say, mostly to myself. What would she be like in bed? Probably not that good, but she might be coachable.
“I’ve met her type at UCLA,” JD continues. “Feminist lesbo who refuses to accept how the world works.”
“She’s not off base with Eric Drumm.”
“His dad’s got a great chance to be fucking president of the United States. Can you imagine the strings they can pull? And you know they’ll do it. Drumm’s not the kind of politician who cares what the American public thinks.”
“Yeah, but his dad doesn’t like anything Chinese. He’s worried China’s going to rule the world.”
“As long as there’s something in it for the Drumms, that’s all they care about.”
I couldn’t argue with that.
“If you’re looking for pussy, Olga’s waiting at my place,” I say.
“Yeah? I could pound me some Russian cunt. But don’t you want her?”
Olga would probably be willing to take us both on, but, strangely, I’m not in the mood.
