892 Words
After work on Friday, Alongso sent a car to pick up Lucas directly from downstairs at Highstreet.
As soon as Lucas got downstairs, he saw a black stretch Lincoln LIMO parked at the curb, and a tall blonde man in a beachy coconut patterned floral shirt, chewing gum, staring at the curb. The smile broadened when he saw Lucas, and Lucas knew that he was Shaw, the man Alongso had mentioned, and that he was along for Vegas this time.
‘Lucas, come over here, hurry up, no one will be late for las Vegas.’ Shaw said loudly and cheerfully from the side of the road.
‘Not so loud Shaw, people will hear you.’ Lucas said with fear and trepidation.
‘Dude, it's not illegal to go to Vegas, the stressful week is over, come enjoy your own holiday!’ Shaw didn't care about Lucas' caution.
Lucas had to hurry into the Lincoln, the car is a wrap-around seating layout, the armrest side of the whisky cups, after closing the door outside the sound of a trace of not heard, with the car stereo turned on, put on the Queen rock music, with the dim lights, Lucas as if to go to a night club, at this moment, he finally understand the significance of this Lincoln LIMO. Shaw put a few ice cubes in Lucas's glass and poured a single malt whisky. Lucas didn't have time to look at the brand, but the strong flavour told him it was a good bottle.
Half a glass down, the Lincoln came to a stop and a model figure waitress opened the door, introducing to his eyes the Gulfstream G550 private jet, Alongso was slightly flamboyant in a silver leisure suit, standing next to a young man, also in his 30's.
‘Come over here Lucas, Shaw, hurry up, this is Macus Berry, from the B family, the family that owns the assets you manage.’ Alongso introduced.
‘Hello Lucas, I'm Macus,’ Macus said politely.
‘Oh this is such an honour, Alongso didn't mention to me that you would be along today or I would have taken the day off work and come earlier.’ Lucas said.
‘No need to say that, Macus is an old friend of ours or we wouldn't have had the chance to ride the G550 to vegas.’ yelled Alongso.
At one point on the plane, Lucas was worried about Macus questioning him about his recent operation, after all, he was paying a premium of close to 100% to acquire a company that doesn't see any chance of an IPO in the near future, and the truth is that Macus was a playboy asking no questions on the plane, drinking, dancing, flirting with the stewardesses, and gagging with Alongso and Shaw, and if it wasn't for the private jet, they would definitely have been kicked off.
Just over an hour later, the plane landed, another Lincoln Limo picked them up and sped them to the Caesars Palace, one of the most luxurious hotels in Vegas, where Lucas stayed in the presidential suite ‘The Hangover’. Of course, there would be no tigers, Lucas teased.
At Caesars Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, the lights are on and the crowd is loud, Lucas, Alongso, Macus and Shaw are sitting at the tables ready to enjoy a night of excitement, Lucas' luck seems to be not so good, he has lost a few hands on the roulette wheel and he is frowning. On the other side of the table, Alongso's luck is running out as he not only wins a large amount of chips, but also attracts the attention of the two models. They stayed close to him and with his laughter and cheers, the trio enjoyed their victory together.
Noticing Lucas' lack of success, Alongso decides to give him the support of a friend. He nods to a beautiful woman with a beautiful figure and dark brown skin, she smiles and walks towards Lucas with a glass of champagne in her hand.Lucas is attracted to her charms and the two begin to place their bets together, her presence seems to bring good luck to Lucas. As the game progresses, Lucas surprisingly begins to flip the wheel, staring nervously and intently at the roulette wheel, and ultimately winning a massive $50,000 after one bold bet.
The four return to the presidential suite at Caesars along with five beautiful women.Macus pulls a packet of m*******a out of his jacket pocket and as they light it up, the room is soon enveloped in smoke. The music was deafening, the laughter and conversations were loud, and the whole night was filled with indulgence and forgetfulness.
The next day, as the morning light poured through the curtains into the room, Lucas woke up in a daze. He was n***d and felt a chill. Turning his head, the dark-skinned beauty he had gambled with last night was lying beside him, looking extraordinarily peaceful in her slumber.Lucas's memories were a little fuzzy, and with a momentary jolt of fear in his heart, he pulled out his mobile phone to find three missed calls and five messages, all from Emma.
‘Lucas, how was Vegas? ‘
‘Lucas?’
‘Is everything ok? ‘
‘If everything's okay, call me back. ‘
‘Alongso returned my message. You're safe. ‘
