That afternoon, Wirata walked out to the front of the hotel to wait for Jacqueline. The slender figure wore long gray pants to match with the hotel gray suit and two inches high heels.

When working, she sometimes wore a skirt and sometimes choosing to wear pants for convenience and agility. As Christmas was approaching and New Year after that, the hotel was full of guests. The rooms were fully booked throughout the Chinese New Year period.

As she was standing and looking on the front street. There was a thin man with a thick beard walking to her direction. He wore a black jacket with a hood covered his head and face.

Wirata stepped back a little because she was afraid he would not see her and might walking into her. Then she looked away to see the other direction.

"Oh! ... I'm sorry!"

Wirata retreated a little when the man crashed into her and immediately apologized. She gained her posture and stood firmly again.

"It's okay."

Wirata said to the man. As she predicted that he did not look at his surroundings. He just bent down and looked at his feet.

That man smiled apologetically before stepping away. And Wirata did not pay any more attention because she was afraid he would think she looked down on him as he dressed so dirty and dilapidated.

When walking to the corner of the building, the man took out his phone to look at the picture that Mary had sent him. A corner of his mouth lifted up. It was that Asian woman he just stumbled on!

Mary wanted him to hurt this woman in exchange for money. He was unemployed and desperate for money. The last lump sum he had, was disappeared in a casino several days ago. At this time, he was dirt poor, no food reached his stomach since yesterday.

The pretty slim Asian woman was looking around. He saw her looking at her watch as though she was waiting for someone. In his hand, held a dagger firmly. At this time it was better to use a knife than a gun. The thin body walked back to his target who was still standing in front of the big luxury hotel.

Wirata looked around while waiting. At the hotel door, there was a doorman and a security guard standing to welcome the hotel guests.

When she turned to the left, she saw the same man who bumped into her five minutes ago. Her eyebrows frowned a little as she could see his eyes were fixed on her and the way he walked straight to her made Wirata step back and held her feet firmly. Her instincts told her to watch him and be careful.

Suddenly when he thought she turned away. He leaped to her with a knife in his hand!

Wirata was already prepared herself so she quickly stepped back and diverted herself out of the knife direction just in time. The man stabbed the knife into the air instead of her body.

He turned and jumped to her again. To his surprise that the woman did not run or scream. But she moved so quick out of the knife's way and swang her long leg high in a swift kick as he saw in action movies and did not expect to get one in his chest.

"Ouch! Fuck!"

The thin man cursed fiercely staggered back and lost his feet.

She did not stop to give him any time to gain his posture when the other kick followed. It hit his arm heavily and his knife was flying out of his hand.

Then She swang a heavy punch straight on his nose and turned around quickly as a professionally trained fighter, sending another kick right on his chin!

This one definitely made a trick. The man lost consciousness in the middle of the air.

Three heavy kicks and a deadly punch in two minutes that made the thin man collapsed on the pavement. His mouth was bleeding badly.

Michael walked out of the door and was stunned to see the scene in front of his eyes. He just came out to see if Jacqueline arrived yet. And what he saw was Wirata was kicking a life out of a man!

The doorman and the security guard who stood inside the door were rushing to her after the big boss walked passed. They looked with their eyes nearly popped out of their heads with a shock. And were so afraid to get sacked as they did not watch her for two minutes!

"What happened?!"

Michael shouted to ask and ran to her.

Wirata stood firmly, her hands were on her hips looking at the wrecked man who was lying and bleeding on the ground. Wirata turned to look at Michael and the two guards.

"He just attacked me with a knife, sir. But I am alright now."

She replied. Michael looked at the man. He clenched his fists in anger. This villain dared to attack his people in front of his hotel!

"You two, take him to the small room next to the utility room. Put the knife in a plastic back. He needs to be investigated."

The deep voice ordered the security guard and the doorman. They hurried to follow his command.

Michael looked at the young woman in front of him. Her young beautiful face showed no sign of fear and no screaming like the reaction most women would have.

She was able to control the emotions completely that Michael was extremely amazed. He could not believe the slender body would be so strong. And to kick the lowlife like that. Michael could tell from his experienced eyes that she was a professional trained Taekwondo fighter!

"Are you sure that you're alright? Who is he?"

Michael looked at her to find if she was really okay. Wirata saw that his harsh eyes softened down, almost warm. There was a hint of respect in the CEO's eyes as he was looking at her.

"I am okay, sir. Thank you. "

"Call Stefan."

Michael ordered with his deep powerful voice.

"Um ... I don't think it's a good idea, sir. Stefan is having an important meeting right now. And please don't tell him. I don't want him to worry and get angry. If you know your son well. He could get mad and I don't want him to go to jail. So please, sir. Please keep it as our secret. And let the police handle it."

Wirata asked him with her soft voice.

Michael was silent and continued to feel amazed. This young woman cared so much for Stefan and was thinking ahead.

As he knew his son very well. It was true that if Stefan knew about this, the lowlife inside would be dead. He would become extremely angry and might lose his temper and did something to pay back whoever dared to set up such an evil scheme. And that might create consequences.

"I will handle it for you."

Michael said. He very much admired the young lady for her courage and braveness.

"Come inside. You can see if Jacqueline arrives through the glass. I will have a few men come to be with you here."

Michael said and then walked Wirata back inside. He called for some bodyguards to be with her and did let her argue about not having any.

After that Michael walked inside to the utility room to sort out the lowlife and find out who was behind it!

***

Ten minutes later, Jacqueline had arrived. Wirata rushed out to see her.

"Welcome. How's your trip, mum? I miss you."

Wirata greeted hugged and kissed her cheeks with delight to see Jacqueline again.

"I miss you too, honey. The trip was good. "

"I will take you up to your room first so that you can have a rest then please let me know if you want anything."

Wirata spoke with a cheerful voice. Jacqueline looked at her son's lover. She was glad that Stefan had found the woman who could be a good wife. Jacqueline could see all the finest qualities in this young lady.

"I don't come here to make you work hard for me, darling. Just take me to the room and I will manage myself from there."

Jacqueline spoke with the fond of the young lady. She did not have a daughter so Wirata would fit in all she wished for. Stefan was very lucky.

"Okay, mum. And tonight we invite you to have dinner with us at the Penthouse. I will cook Thai food for you. " Wirata said.

"I'd love to. I want to see how you cook. Last time I tried to follow you wrote for me but I still didn't get it near what you cooked for me."

"Sure, this time we can cook together."

Wirata said. Two women were hands in hands.

Two bodyguards stood behind them. Wirata turned and smile at them.

"Please take the suitcases and follow me."

Wirata took Jacqueline to the room she had prepared for her. She stayed a while to make sure Jacqueline got everything she wanted and then left the older lady to rest.

Wirata went down to her office. She carried on working until four o'clock. It was a bit early to leave her work as she usually left the office at about five o'clock or depending on the situation.

But as she invited Jacqueline and Michael for dinner so she wanted to go up to prepare food.

Jacqueline had a rest for a couple of hours and then she followed Wirata up to the penthouse.
