Re: Life as a Limo Driver

Chapter 3

Client : lady v
Car : S500

I woke up at the hotel room with Siti by my side.

It was 9am I check the flight arrival time using my iPhone. No change in timing. I got dress and did the usual , placing breakfast Order for Siti and settling my bill for all my extra expenses .

me : pls give a wake up call at 1030am to this room number and remind her to check out at 12noon.

Yes sir , the front desk staff replied.

I drove e car to my regular car polishing company at ubi.

Me: regular car body shampoo wash, touch up those rims, I want more attention to the interior. Seats clean, leather cream for the seats, air con air to be sterilize , floor mats vacuum and press with not steam.

The shop boss knows my standard. He puts four workers to expedite on the work process.

Time check 1130hrs, just nice I took a slow drive to T3. Arrived at 1150hrs. I called up St Rxxxx to confirm hotel booking. All Is In order . I enter the T3 car park first, knowing there is a grace period . I exit before ten minutes and head straight to the pick up point.

VIP like lady v are season travelers They fly first class and usually carry the bear minimum, usually with one hand carry. They are the first ones out the plane and they will just go straight to the pick point.

I saw her walking towards me, but wait there is another gentleman beside her. I had to make a quick assessment from their body language . Lady V seems to be listening to him and nodding her head in agreement to what he say. I took my chance. Very likely this gentlemen is a " special invited guest" or " investor" I say to myself.

I open the car door for the VIP and greeted him " Good afternoon SIR , welcome to Singapore . "

" HAIk " he said .... Japanese I say in my heart....

I close the door before going over to open the right door for Lady v.

Good afternoon mdm... I say . She didn't respond at all.

The whole scenario now has changed. The Japanese client is now the VVIP and lady v is the VIP . My judgement was correct.

He spoke good English , very likely to have study overseas.

Lady V: " if everything is going according to plan, we are likely to acquire "YYYYY company" ... Our prediction is that their share prices will hit beyond $2.00 once we release our press statement...... She want on and on.....

LAdy v was seating directly behind me. I was observing her even thg I had my sunglasses on. She keeps giving me eye contact. From her body language I understood what she meant.

As a Limo driver , we must leArn to keep our mouth shut and our ears open. We do not start a conversation with the VIP unless is necessary. Religious and politics matter are also a taboo, and should not be brought up at all times.

" take us to " FULL ALREADY TURN " hotel pls " .... Said lady V

Yes Mdm , I replied

I had just passed by Fort Road. I started to keep left and drove at a slower speed as the car make its way up the bridge .

gentleman: " is that ??? "

I look at lady v through the mirror. I got the que for e " go ahead"

Me: " yes sir , you are right ! That is Gardens by e bay . It is one of the latest tourist attraction in Singapore . If your schedule allows, you should pay a visit. You will not be disappointed. You should be able to get more details from the hotel front desk you are staying"

Gentleman: " hmmm very impressive .... As he took out his HP to take a quick snap shot.

I steady speed of the car, and accelerate once he was done.
