“Yeah, him. Well, not counting that bill, I made even less than a million.” And her
routine expenses made it less lucrative. She earned very little from that, when
she thought about it.
Carlos smiled at her moping tone.
“I'll lend you my private booth. Have fun at the dinner.”
“On second thought, maybe I should go somewhere cheaper. What if Elmer rips
me off again? He might invite me to sign another contract. I don't want to get
stiffed every time the work ends.” A dinner at Orchid
Private Club was as expensive as eating on the fifth floor of the
Alioth Building. Debbie realized it was a bad decision.

“Take my advice. Go to Orchid Private Club Carlos insisted.
His insistence sounded suspicious to Debbie's ears. She could tell he was up to
something. But she couldn't figure out what.
“ALL right.”
Debbie decided to follow his advice. After hanging up, she returned to the booth.
As soon as Carlos was off the phone, he got a call from Stephanie
“Carlos, who were you on the phone with? I've been trying to get through for
awhile,” she said, trying her best to sound casual.
“A client. What do you need?” Carlos’ tone was nonchalant.
“I have an important dinner tonight. I want to entertain some clients and I'm
thinking of doing it at Orchid Private Club. Can I use your booth?”
Carlos got her point even before she finished
And Debbie had just called him, asking for the same thing. And now he knew why
she asked him that. “Clever girl!" he thought, smiling. Then he said to Stephanie,
“Sorry, it's already spoken for. I can get you another one, though.”
“Oh, I see.” Disappointed and embarrassed, Stephanie bit her lower lip tightly.
Her friends were counting on her. To spare herself humiliation, she tried again.
“Can you ask them to use another booth?” she asked Carlos quietly.
“I can't. I'l arrange another booth for you. It's the same. I'm ina meeting. Bye.”

thinking about how nom it would be.
