Taming The Las Vegas Playboy

Stefan held Wirata\'s hand, he saw the puppy was scared of people so Stefan bent down to grab him into his arm.

"Are you scared? Don\'t be. You\'re a man. A man must not get scared easily. Understand?

He spoke to the puppy as though he could get every word he said. Wirata couldn\'t help to smile.

Ben and James looked every bit smart with the suit and sunglasses. All tall, solemn appearance. They were walking behind their boss\'s family. The two turned to look at each other communicating silent language that the boss was now enjoying playing the role of husband and father!

"Actually, I don\'t need anything. "

Wirata said to Stefan with her soft voice. Coming out to have an eye-opening experience like this made her felt more relaxed and be herself again.

The tall figure by her side, too, he seemed very relaxed and was in a comfortable posture. He was holding her hand and having Summer in his other arm.

"Let\'s go to the women\'s clothing department, Ben and James, take care of Summer. You two can go have some coffee and wait for me. I\'ll give you a call when we finish. "

He turned around and gave summer to Ben.

"Um ... I don\'t think it\'s a good idea, boss."

James meant safety. They couldn\'t just let the boss and his lady wandering around in the open area alone.

"Nobody\'s gonna be stupid enough to hit me in broad daylight in the middle of a big mall like this. Don\'t worry. Watch Summer. He seems scared and not used to a crazy crowded place like this."

Stefan said to his men. He knew they worried about his safety but Stefan thought he could take care of himself and Wirata if anything went wrong.

Stefan dragged Wirata into a famous women\'s clothing store.

"I\'ll sit and wait here. You go and choose the outfit and dresses you want."

Stefan told her. She looked hesitant.

"You don\'t have to buy anything for me. I think I have enough clothes. There are more than enough. I don\'t know why you want to waste money."

She said, standing at the door and didn\'t move while the shop staff hurried to welcome them.

Stefan then turned to the female seller, who was waiting and ready to serve enthusiastically.

"My lady wants all kind of dresses for all occasions. Everything that is as beautiful as her and suits her. Can you help? "

He asked the woman and gave her a hint of a smile. The woman was smiling more than gladly and willingly.

"Sure, sir." She said.

Stefan nodded. He turned to look at Wirata.

"I will wait here. You go with them. They will arrange it all for you, just tell them what you want."

He said. She sighed and then followed the seller with no choice.

There was whispering around the shop that Stefan Mackenzie, the handsome money mogul, was here right in front of their eyes in their shop. The buzzes continued that he brought his woman.

So some more staff hurriedly came to help Wirata to choose the dresses. Every style of clothing was given to her to try on. The most beautiful gowns, evening dresses, nightdresses and all sorts of nice clothes were handed to her. The scene was too chaotic!

Until three hours had elapsed when Wirata came out. She saw him sitting and waiting patiently. Wirata couldn\'t believe that the man would be able to wait a long time like this. But then she thought he probably did this to all women he brought here.

"It\'s a lot and too many."

She said in a complaining tone to him. When she was in the fitting room, she refused to take a lot of clothes they handed to her, but the staff said that Stefan ordered. Wirata tried to get fewer clothes while the sellers suggested her to take all. But in the end, she had more clothes than her five-year collection altogether!

Now looking at the boss who everybody had to listen to his orders. He shrugged carelessly, shoved a hand in his hair and managed to look great as he stood up.

"I have money to pay."

Said the harsh voice. The seller invited him to pay at the counter.

"I will have my men to collect the bags."

Stefan said to the sellers as there were a lot of bags there. He rang James to pick the whole lots to put in the car.

When finished the payment, they walked out of the shop. Once both were out of the place, the staff whispered immediately.

"It\'s such a lucky day today. The first time I saw a living Stefan Mackenzie in front of my own eyes this close. I guess he must really love this one."

One of them said.

"He must indeed. Because as we know it\'s the first time he brought the woman by himself. In the past, only women had come alone. He just called and said to put the bill in his name. My gosh! He is so handsome and so cool!"

The other one responded and sighed with dreamy eyes.

"The lady is really beautiful though. But she is so strange as she didn\'t want a lot and refused to have all we offered to her, unlike the other women who came here. They usually request too much."

"Yeah, you\'re right. Most of them are greedy and get me a headache when I have to serve them."

The employees\' voices continued to gossip even the two disappeared from their eyes.

It\'s lunchtime so Stefan took Wirata to the food center floor where there were a lot of restaurants to pick as you wish.

"What do you want to eat, lady?"

He asked her in a teasing tone. Wirata raised her eyes to look into his eyes. Saw the handsome face with a smile. She blinked as she was staring at the warm and nice friendly smile he sent her.

For once to see him smiling like this. So she smiled back to him, the sweet smile from her truely thankful feeling inside. She thought so far today he was behaving so well and he was kind of sweet. She smiled more when thinking about his patience for waiting for her three hours.

Stefan raised his eyebrow up in a surprise to see her cute and sweet smile. Her face looked sincere, her beautiful eyes shimmered. He couldn\'t help but bend down and plant a kiss on her cheek.

"Don\'t smile like this to any man."

The order came. Wirata raised her eyebrow up.

"Smile like this? Like what?" She asked out of curiosity.

"Like you\'re asking for a hot kiss and hot action."

He whispered with a mischievous grin. Wirata blushed and smashed him on his shoulder with embarrassment. How could he translate her normal smile into that kind of meaning, she had no ideas.

"Dirty mind you are!"

She muttered and gave him a pinch on his arm.

Stefan laughed to see her cheeks had gone red. He pulled her closed into a hug.

"Don\'t rehearse me in public like this. It makes me look bad. The godfather got beaten by a small woman. That will ruin my image."

He teased her again and dragged her into a restaurant nearby. The staff immediately walked toward to greet and led them to the VIP zone as requested.

While eating, Wirata put some food on his plate. He looked pleased and was in a good mood. He did not care to look at the price but Wirata saw that it was a very expensive restaurant.

One moment, she wondered if he had ever seen the condition of a poor society. Did he know what the lives of endeavored people and those who were born to poor families were like? And especially, had he ever seen a slum?!

Later on, they finished and he paid. Wirata sighed when saw the bill. He also left a generous tip for the waiter. Stefan stood up and grabbed her hand. He rang his men to meet at the car.

"Do you know that the price for this meal, for the poor in Thailand, he could take care of his family for the whole month."

She said when they were in the car with Summer sitting on her lap. Ben drove the car out of the famous shopping mall heading back to the penthouse.

"So what?"

Stefan turned to ask. Not understanding her purpose.

Wirata sighed again and shook her head.

"Nothing."

She decided not to say too much. It wasn\'t worthy.

The world was so unjust and unfair as we all knew. And Wirata could not blame anything or anyone about it. Some people were too wealthy, their prosperity was overflowing. They had more than enough and spending without thinking. While some people were dirt poor, lack of everything and they didn\'t even know the next meal if they would have food to reach their mouth or not."

"Am I wrong for being able to pay bills?"

He asked. Stefan could read her thoughts a little. And the words she just expressed. He thought she was so overthinking about everything. This time he was not sure what she wanted to complain about.

"No. You are not wrong, and nobody is wrong."

Wirata muttered in a quiet tone. It\'s true that it was not his fault for being born rich with all the money to spend extravagantly.

They were quiet after that. Stefan grabbed Summer. He glanced at her, seeing that she was looking out of the car window. He then lied down and put his head on her lap with the puppy on his chest.

Wirata turned to look at the man and the puppy. Summer also lied down on his chest with his puppy eyes looking at her. That made Wirata smile. She put her hand on his small head.

"I am going out tonight, having a business to deal with."

He told her. That reminded Wirata of the thing Bernardo had asked her to do. The story of Stefan got Bruno.

"Where are you going?"

She asked.

"It\'s personal."

Stefan replied. He would not tell her.

Wirata glanced at the handsome face. She was sure it was about Bruno the bad guy. So she had to think fast to find a way to stop Stefan to go out tonight. And trying to find a way to release Bruno to Bernardo.

But...

How?!

Bernardo asked her to do a very difficult task. Wirata looked at the man, his face was relaxed while his hand rubbing the puppy\'s back.

She didn\'t want him to create more enemies, just like Bernardo said. That was good enough reason for her mission.

At the penthouse, Ben and James helped carry all the shopping bags into her room. When they all outside as Stefan asked his bodyguards to gather in his office. Obviously, they were planing for tonight.

Wirata opened the bags and picked up the transparent fluttering nightdresses to look at. And that minute she suddenly had an idea flashing in her mind!

She stared at the beautiful see-through sexy nightdresses in her hands, her brain was thinking and planning something out of her usual ways!
