It was just the sort of night that Craig had come to hate. On top of that, Nick and Barry, with whom he thought he might have tried to have a chat, could not get a seat near him, so took seats way down the bar on the other side. Mia might have been a pleasant distraction a couple of months ago, but that had all stopped and it was too busy now anyway.
Lek was glad to get back behind the bar. She knew dozens of people, especial y men, who usual y came over for Christmas. It was her favourite time of the year in Pattaya along with the Thai New Year in April, but Craig was being such a wet blanket. She was glad to be shot of him for a few hours, if the truth be known.
She didn’t want to go back to work permanently, but she did miss it and she loved to help out from time
