She hesitated for a few seconds and said, “He was actually extra nice to me. Can you believe that he got me an expensive dress?”
“Huh? Why did he do that? Is he interested in you?” Juliette asked excitedly.
She seldom heard about Stella’s work life, so her ears itched for the tea now.
Stella didn’t give a direct response.
She repeated Matthew’s words, “He said it’s a reward for my contribution to the company so far.”
“Oh my God! I have never heard of such a thing before. Your boss is so considerate!” Juliette said excitedly.
Stella concurred, “Ever since I started working for Matthew, he has been of great help to me.”
“It’s nice that you have such a good boss,” Miley chipped in.
This took Stella by surprise.
“Since when did you think my boss was nice? I thought you didn’t like him?”
If her memory served her right, Miley had always tagged Matthew as an evil capitalist who overworked his employees.
Miley shrugged.
“Well, my impression of him changed after he came to visit you when you were sick. I was wrong to have judged him just because he’s a workaholic.”

I’m sure he’s so rich that the price of the dress is just chicken feed to him. Now, let your hair down and have some fun!”
She shoved the glass into Stella’s hand. And the merriment continued.
A few minutes later, Juliette put down her glass and said, “Drinking alone is too boring. Let’s play cards.”
“Cards are no fun. I have a more interesting game.” Miley had an air of mystery around her.
“Hold on a minute, girls. I’ll be right back.”
She put down the glass, stood up and left.
Miley walked to the front desk.
She sought a waitress’s attention and ordered, “I heard you guys have the hottest male strippers. Could you bring me five strippers? They must be well-built, handsome, and have six-packs. I don’t want no-“
She was halfway through her order when she was interrupted by a sneer.
