The One Night Stand in Dubai
Help Collin

After Feng left Astrid was still pondering what was happening. Astrid regretted Feng's rude treatment. Astrid did not expect that Feng would be able to treat her like that. Astrid no longer wanted to be treated harshly by Feng even though Astrid loved her. Let alone Feng's accusation to Astrid who was having an affair with Collin.

Astrid wanted to get out of Feng's apartment. However, he had no destination, the salary Astrid received was not enough for him to pay the rent.

Astrid's gonna ask Collin for help after work. Afternoon after work Astrid went straight to Venitia, the Fresh from the Sea office was closer to Su Yi's house than Feng's apartment.

"Collins! Are you home?" astrid called for Collin. "Collins!" reset Astrid again as she presses the door of Collin's house. Astrid sees that Collin's car is still parked in her yard.

"Just a second!" chanted Collin from inside the house. Not long after the door opened.

"Astrid!" greet Collin as he sees Astrid in front of his house.

"Collins!" call Astrid, she's glad Collin hasn't left for work.

"Astrid, what's wrong? Are you all right?" anxious Collin. "Come, comein!" bring Collin. Astrid sat in Collin's guest chair. Collin took the drink inside the fridge and handed it to Astrid.

"I want you to help me, Collin," Astrid said expectantly.

"Let's just say, didn't I say that I would marry you, if you agreed," Collin calmed Astrid down.

"Thank you, I don't need you to actually marry me, just pretend, if Feng or the Venetians ask. I also need a place to stay just--." Astrid paused her sentence. He was ashamed to say it.

"What is it?" ask Collin curiously.

"I don't have enough money" said Astrid.

"It's okay, there's an empty rented house at the end of the street, Miss Lau's house, I'll ask. You can move there later," Collin advised.

"How much does it cost?" ask Astrid. He has to make sure he has enough money for it.

"You don't worry, I don't think it will be expensive, you take it easy" Collin said. He's sorry for Astrid. Collin should have received Astrid's love statement so that Astrid would definitely want to stay with him. And not suffer such a fate. "How is Grandma Su Yi?" ask Collin.

"Tomorrow the doctor will check the condition of the grandmother again. If possible then in the near future grandma has been able to come out. It also makes me have to immediately find a temporary rental house until our house is completed," explained Astrid.

"Hopefully Grandma Su Yi quickly got out of the hospital. Selena and Hope, how are they?" Collin had indeed told Lilian that they had met Hope.

"On Hope, he was kidnapped, mr. Kwok and Feng are trying to find him" Astrid said.

"What's? How come?" shocked Collin.

"I don't know what it's like either" Astrid said. "Are you going to work?" ask Astrid again.

"Yes, you know the Asian game has started and we are very busy. Your idol Queen of Gambler has appeared and competed" Collin said.

"I think Hope's kidnapper was among those involved in the match" Astrid suspects.

"Why can you think like that?" wonder Collin.

"Because Selena was the Queen of Gambler, she wanted to resign. However, Hope's captors asked her to return to play and lose the final round" Astrid said. When Feng told him about the kidnapping, Astrid immediately contacted Selena and asked her directly.

"What's? Pantasan Sea can play gambling and easily beat the amateurs in the City of Dreams," praised Collin as well as disbelief.

"Either, I was very curious, who kidnapped Hope?" Astrid drank some water.

"What, Miss Rachel is behind Hope's abduction?" guess Collin.

"Who's Rachel?" ask Astrid.

"Cousin, Boss," Collin replied.

"You mean mr's cousin. Kwok?" if he's mr's cousin. Kwok, why would he ever kidnap his own niece?" wonder Astrid. She who is not the Aunt of Hope's family loved Hope very much. Especially family.

***

Collin is still controlling the course of Asian gambling matches. Ever since Collin learned that Selena was the Queen of Gambler, he had grown more and more in awe of Selena and was more and more self-aware that he should no longer like Selena.

The match had been over for ten days. The participants who had fallen still watched the next round.They were very enthusiastic, especially with the return of the Queen of Gambler.

As promised to Astrid, Collin asked Lau's mistress about one of her vacant rented houses. Grateful the rental house is still not occupied by people.

"Who's it for, Collin?" ask lady Lau.

"For Astrid and Su Yi's grandmother until their house is completed," explains Collin.

"Oh, where have they been all this time?" ask lady Lau.

"Su Yi's grandmother was hospitalized and Astrid hitched a ride at her friend's house" Collin lied. "I'll send it to the account, Miss Lau," Collin agreed. He did not want to linger talking to the Venetian village mothers because it would be a rumor for the mothers.

Collin sends a message to Astrid that the hostess Lau has hired him for Astrid and Su Yi.

***

Astrid was in the hospital, waiting for the doctor to tell Su Yi the results. The doctor issued a medical check up on Su Yi.

"So Grandma Su Yi can already go home tomorrow," the Doctor info after explaining Su Yi's medical history.

"Thank you, Doc," said Astrid happily.

"Stay make sure your grandmother regularly takes her medicine," added the doctor reminded Astrid.

"Well," Astrid answered steadily.

But, what about a temporary home for them to live in?

Exactly a message from Collin came in and told him that the rental house of mistress Lau had been able to occupy them. Astrid is happy to be solved one by one.

"How did it go, Astrid?" su Yi asked as Astrid walked into her room. He was bored staying in the hospital. Although the hospital facilities were very luxurious because the room that Su Yi occupied was a VVIP.

"Tomorrow, grandma has been able to go home" Astrid said while hugging her grandmother.

"Thank God. But where are we gonna live?" confused Su Yi. He knew his house was still being built.

"We're going to rent Madam Lau's house" Astrid replied. "What do you say, Grandma?" astrid asked, afraid that Su Yi would not like it.

"really? Grandma was happy because it was not too far from our house," Su Yi said.

"Grandma, I'll go home first. Tomorrow I'll have permission to take Grandma home" Astrid explained.

Astrid packed her things. Tomorrow he would immediately bring a bag and leave Feng's apartment. Astrid hid the bag in the closet. In order for when Feng went to his room, he did not suspect anything.

Astrid spirit, just leave Feng.
