Chapter 67
After getting the client’s contact, Stella immediately made a call. It was answered by a middle aged man. He sounded very polite as he made an appointment to meet with Stella.
“Would you like me to meet with your child before the lesson starts?” Stella asked. Usually, she would have a trial class with her prospective pupil before setting up the proper curriculum for them. It was quite an elaborate process, but parents who could afford to send their kids to classes at a training center like the one she worked at were generally wealthy. This was especially true for those who requested private tutoring, signifying they had their own ballroom at home.
“No,” the man replied after a long pause. It sounded as if he was busy. “There’s no need for that. I’ll interview you first. If you pass, we’ll discuss more.”
“Okay,” Stella responded politely. “And what time would you like to meet? What kind of information should I prepare…”
“My secretary will send you an email,” the man interrupted. “You’ll get all the details there. Just be sure you arrive at the designated place on time.”
The man then hung up the phone.
Soon afterward, Stella received a new email.
“Lowe Garden…”
Stella paused. Why would the client want to meet her there?
She didn’t think much of it, though. She looked at the time, packed her things, and called a taxi to the appointed place.
Lowe Garden. The outside sign indicated that it was a hotel, but it was an exclusive club with tight security that catered to rich people.
There were many entertainment activities here, but they were only available to the club members. Regular folk never got a chance to get in unless they had an appointment or if they had a referral from a club member.
This place wasn’t exactly wholesome and safe, being a playground for wealthy young men where dubious happenings would ensue, but security here was tighter than most hotels. Stella had to contact the secretary when she arrived before she was allowed to get in.
