"One million for just a one-night-stand, Arin. One million."
Nanatili akong nakatingin kay Ben, the club's owner.
"I don't care."
"Psh." He gasped in disbelief. "Sabi ni Maggie pumayag ka sa ten thousand tapos five million ayaw mo? Businessman 'yun, hindi naman nalalayo ang edad sa'yo. You will surely enjoy it."
"Didn't you understand a no?"
He chuckled still in disbelief. "Baka nakakalimutan mo may utang ka pang kailangang bayaran sa akin. Isa pa, ilang gabi ka nang hindi pumapasok sa schedule mo. Ikaw ba ang amo ko, ha? You should pay me for that. Malaki ang nawawala sa akin."
"I... I'll pay for one million."
Wala sa loob na bumaling ako sa pinanggalingan ng tinig.
He was there. We didn't even notice him entering the room.
"At sino ka na naman?" iritang tanong
