Taming The Las Vegas Playboy

Mary sprang up and slapped the table loudly. Wirata did not expect to see that. But she kept her cool. Wirata saw the woman looked so angry and dangerous. But she was not a person who got scared easily.

"Do you think you are Stefan's slut and you can just accuse me with these made-up numbers? Do you think you could just walk in here and sit to show off your stupid face and low-brained work to get rid of me? I have been working here for so many years and I have never had problems with anyone. You are jealous that I am close to the president so you try to frame me and find a way to get rid of me. I know you want to be number one here, don't you?!"

Mary spilled out ill-thoughts nonstop and Wirata could not believe what she just heard. This woman was worse than a bitch character in the Thai soap operas.

Before Wirata could respond. The door was knocked and pushed open.

"What's going on here?"

 The question arose from a tall and good-looking man in his fifties who was standing in front of the door. The face was very attractive with a strong and powerful appearance. Wirata knew straight away who he was. Stefan was a carbon copy of his father!

Michael Mackenzie stood tall in an elegant dark suit, with Chase standing by his side. As soon as Mary saw him, she stepped forward, aiming to grab his arm. But the quiet glance from the president's dark blue eyes caused her to stop her feet right away and just stood in the middle of the room.

Only Mary knew why. The night when he was drunk. He fell asleep and nothing had happened between him and her. But she took the opportunity to stay in his room until morning and spread the rumor. 

"Who are you?"

He looked at Wirata and asked. Wirata stood up automatically and walked straight to stop in front of him.

"My name is Wirata Ratanawan. temporary Finance and Account Manager, sir."

Wirata introduced herself. Michael looked at a pretty Asian woman standing with her back straight. She looked modest but confident.

"She used to work at the headquarters in Boston. She moved to Las Vegas five months ago. "

Chase added the information. He chose to introduce her through work instead of personal. Michael nodded. So, she was working for him in Boston. But he had never seen her. 

"And what's the matter? Why are two managers arguing and shouting at each other like school kids?"

The powerful voice asked. Michael always stayed in his regular suite room here when he was in Las Vegas. He came to see Stefan's work and attended the branch party every year near Christmas.

"There are a few issues with the account, sir." 

Wirata replied.

"This woman falsely accused me of fraud."

Mary said immediately with a fierce tone.

"Miss Ross. I haven't accused you of anything officially, yet. I just wondered why the numbers didn't match. It's my responsibility and I have the right to inspect if I am not sure or have any questions about monthly reports. "

Wirata said in a smooth voice without nerve-racking or panic that she was standing in front of the most powerful man of Mackenzie Enterprise.

"I've worked here for many years. I have never had any problem with anyone. The previous manager never had to call me in like this. You have only come to work here for a month, digging and checking on everybody as if you are the big boss here. I am sorry, sir. This woman thinks she is the boss's woman and she can do anything she wants. "

Mary gave a long statement with her loud aggressive tone. Michael lifted his eyebrows up to hear that this young woman was Stefan's woman.

Michael knew that his son had a reputation for being a playboy. This one was probably one of his temporary women. She looked professional and comfortable in her own skin. Knowing that she was standing in front of the MC Group CEO but she did not show any sign of fear or nervousness. Her posture was natural and ready to state her mind if necessary.

"I am sorry, sir for the noise. But would you like to continue listening to the whole story? If you are interested, please take a seat. Because I have to clear this issue as soon as I can and I don't have much time, sir. "

Wirata said to Michael with a polite gesture but a bold statement. As he was still standing in front of the door, he did not enter the room but had not yet walked away.

Chase swallowed hard when he heard a straightforward statement. It could be interpreted that if Michael wanted to know, please come in and close the door. But if not interested, please go away because she wanted to carry on discussing with Mary about the problem.

Michael was paused for a second with surprise. Nobody braved to ask him like that before. But the young woman did not waste her time to speak her mind and was not bothered who she was talking to.

Michael wanted to know the story but it was not his job to investigate it himself. He only wanted to know the result.

The powerful CEO turned to look at the manager. He had seen her working here for many years but he did not pay attention much. Just recalled she used to serve him once or twice when he came to stay here.

"Would you like me to see if your room ready, sir."

Mary took the opportunity to offer service to the biggest boss.

"No need. Stay here and finish talking to the account manager."

He ordered Mary and Mary's face turned red with the embarrassment that he refused right away without considering and interest.

"And you, if you get the result, report to me directly."

The powerful voice said to Wirata before turning his back and walked straight to the private elevator to get to his luxurious room. Mary felt angry and frustrated to see Wirata looked at her with an amused gaze.

"Okay, Mary, to save time, I will just inform you that I have been asking for all the reports from your department. I will check the history and disbursements for the part you have been responsible for from the beginning. I don't care how many years back. If the evidence indicates that you have been engaging in fraudulent, you will not just get fired but you will also be prosecuted according to legal proceedings. Meaning you will go to jail, too. Do you have anything to say? "

Wirata gave Mary clear messages in a serious formal tone. She had a strong feeling that this woman has hidden ugly darkness under her beautiful face.

Mary gasped and could not believe her ears. This Thai woman wanted to dig in her long-hidden history. How dare! 

 "You are making a big mistake, Wirata, playing against me like this. Watch who is going to win. And be careful!"

 The angry voice sounded threatened and turned to walk out of the room immediately with anger.

 Wirata sighed and then shrugged. She wanted to do the right things and if she had to come across evil people, the only way to go was to fight and went head to head. She believed that in the end, goodness and morality always won.
