Chapter 23

Rose stared at her manager as if she had lost her damned mind.

“Could you please repeat that?” Rose humbly asked. “What is this about a conference in Macau?”

The manager shrugged. “I only repeat what my higher-ups hand down to me. This came in this morning, before you arrived for your shift.” She pointed to the forms written in terse Mandarin. “There’s a hospitality conference happening this weekend in Macau, and the company wants you to represent us, apparently. Everything’s paid for. Their only apology is that it’s so last minute. I guess the other person they were going to send had to drop out due to needing emergency surgery, but that’s a rumor.”

Rose still didn’t know what the hell was happening until she received a text from Cindy later that day. A text she didn’t have a chance to see until she took her first break around five.

“Are you excited to go to Macau with me this weekend? A friend of mine is having a party, and I’ve arranged for you to take the days off so you can go with me. I’ll be introducing you to all of my closest friends. It’s more serious than meeting my mother.”

Since Cindy would be out of town all weekend, she needed to spend Thursday and Friday focusing on catching up at work. Rose had to get by with Cindy’s sultry selfies that were coded to disappear from anyone’s phone after twenty-four hours. Rose’s weren’t given such technical preference. Her cleavage shots and that picture of her pinching her nipple in the bathtub would be on Cindy’s phone forever.

As it should be…

Rose still wasn’t talking to her brother. Jameson had made his opinion of her clear, and the two had avoided each other for most of the week. That was fine with Rose, who was so preoccupied with her upcoming trip and thinking about Cindy that Jameson was a mere hindrance. Her biweekly paycheck cleared, so she left him some money to pay the electric bill but otherwise spent her Friday morning shopping at a department store along her route to work. She purchased new concealer and a bold, hot pink lipstick she hoped would impress Cindy’s friends. Whoever they were.

She only got about five hours of sleep Friday night, and that was when she went straight home after her shift, ate an instant dinner, and went to bed without bathing or packing. A car met her at the end of her block around nine in the morning, and with only a brief mention to her brother that she was going to Macau for the weekend, Rose took off and hopped in the back of a private car. Jameson had followed her, the little bastard. Whatever his expression as he watched his little sister drive off, Rose didn’t know. Nor did she care.

Naively, she assumed that this might be her chance to fly First Class for the first time in her life, hence the prompt arrival at a local airport. However, it was not the international airport that she had used a time or two to travel to the Mainland.
