Chapter 10 - Hidden Intentions

  ...

  Having made up her mind, Helen then asked Linda,

  "Sure. Whatever you say. So, how much do you wish your card to be topped with?"

  A blush covered Linda's cheeks upon realising her unnatural request. Nonetheless, she didn't back down and replied bravely,

  "No, just show me your QR code. I will send you the amount myself first."

  Helen detected that Linda was up to something, but hadn't yet been able to put her finger on it. Deciding to py along, Helen showed Linda her bank account's QR code and waited for the transfer notification.

  The other girls around them also came closer, hoping to get a good ugh out of the situation if possible. In reality, they themselves came with hopes of getting picked by Helen for the night. Her techniques on 'handling' other women were unmatched in the area, getting most of her prey hooked, coming back for more.

  And not only that, Helen was very generous in spending on her hookups, so the girls enjoyed going on dates, coffee, or simply drinks and food before getting 'serviced' by Helen at night. Since even the hotel expenses were paid by Helen, the girls had nothing to lose, making most of the girls look forward to their next encounter. Unfortunately, only one gets picked every night, so the competition among them was fierce. None of them appreciated Linda adding one more to the queue.

  Linda, on the other hand, didn't want to miss out on this golden chance. Although the membership card could only be used at select pces, it still represented a chance to test the system further. Wanting to make sure of the loophole that she had discovered, Linda daringly made a big transfer, with an amount so massive that she was sure that couldn't be earned by her working a normal job.

  A successful transfer notification showed up on Linda's phone, making her tense expression turn into one filled with relief.

  On the other hand, as Helen checked the transfer notification, while not having much expectations, opened the message. Her eyes grew wider and wider as she stared at the message with shock.

  Her fingers trembled as she faced difficulty holding the phone in her palm. She turned to look at Linda, who was giggling with happiness as the shock and amazement grew further within her eyes.

  10,000 have been successfully credited to the bank account ending with ****496]

  Helen had initially thought of Linda as just another girl looking to have fun while hoping for Helen to pay the bill. Her business earned enough to let her do as she pleased, so getting some intimate encounters as a result just fit her needs perfectly.

  Yet, she realised that from the start, Linda showed no such behaviour. She paid for their drinks from the get-go, spending more than Helen would have spent in the entire night. And after seeing the long string of numbers that was transferred to her account by Linda, Helen's body couldn't help but tremble.

  'A hidden rich heiress? Or a princess from some oil-rich country?? Just who is this Linda? And, what did she mean by doing this? Did she do it just to show me some of her wealth and capabilities? But I had told her that I didn't ck money due to my business. Is this how rich girls behave nowadays?"

  Helen's surprise was reasonable as she had expected an amount from 2000 to 5000 at max. Nobody spent that much on a membership card anyway, even if they did have a lot of money. However, the desperate and reckless Linda had outdone her expectations, with a massive transfer of 100 million just then.

  'W-What if it is a test? Does she wish to see if I can handle this level of wealth? Am I worthy of her going so far, though? No, what if she is a client who wishes to test my abilities? Yes, that must be so! I have run the w firm for so long, it wouldn't be weird if my name had spread somewhat. And, this rich dy might be having some business deal to discuss with me... possibly. Right, she did say that it was her first time here, so is she new to the city? For an outsider, she would need someone knowledgeable and capable to help her with her business ventures. Isn't this just the kind of opportunity that I had been waiting for so long? Was our meeting in the parking lot part of her pn?'

  A million thoughts raced through Helen's mind as she tried to create a reasonable theory behind Linda's actions. Yet, she could never have expected that Linda was just a desperado who ended up making a rash decision in her overexcitement.

  In the end, Helen made up her mind to win the trust of the rich heiress first before asking her about the business deal. The amount transferred was twenty-five times her entire savings, so Helen somewhat nervously paid for the membership card, leaving the bartender dazed as she watched the two of them walking away from the club.

  Helen held Linda affectionately and approached her car quickly, not wanting the rich heiress to have second thoughts towards anyone else in the club.

  As the two sat at their seats in the car, Helen nonchantly passed over the bck colored membership card to Linda as she spoke,

  "Here. Your membership card has been credited with the amount you sent earlier. Still... a hundred million? Isn't that too much to keep just for casual expenses? I mean, it's surely a rather... unique way of doing things..."

  Linda smiled awkwardly as she stowed away the membership card in her bag and thought to herself,

  'Only if you knew that I had nothing on me till this morning! Long live the system! Long live the bugs! Keep the cash rolling in! Alright, now that I know that the loophole works, I must act at once. No meaning in making money in further interactions. If I could secure all that I could ever spend tonight, won't I live like a queen for the rest of my life without caring much about the system? I wish to fall in love with a cutie, too! How sad would it be if my future mate is always decided by the system? What if the oneI like isn't favored by the system??'

  Linda nodded enthusiastically to herself, having decided to keep on with her act of being a mysterious rich dy as she responded,

  "Thanks for this, Helen. But I was kind of hoping for your assistance in something other than just this, too. You see, uh... I need another bank account opened soon, and I was hoping that you could help me get one opened somehow?"

  Helen gnced at Linda sideways as she scoffed internally,

  'Huh, as if I don't know by now that you wish to keep showing off your wealth to me. Alright then, let's see how deep your pockets really are if you would go so far as to show it to me. And, what your end game is with all this...'

  Helen's designated driver started the car, leading it towards a hotel. Meanwhile, Helen nonchantly replied to Linda,

  "Just transfer the bance amount you wish to have in your account to me. My staff will get your account processed and sent to the hotel in a few hours. And send me the required documents as well for the opening of the bank account."
