“So after he had foods and drinks on Friday, they all went to the club and didn’t come back that same night, was so scared coz I would have been the one to pay if he ended up not paying, but one of his friends was still in the hotel so I was a bit assured I’ll get the money..

“Fast forward to the next day which was on Saturday 13th,of Jan 2024. Our hotel rule is to do our sales account before 10am in the morning, so I got his contact from his friend who was in the hotel to reach out to him so I can get the money and his response was totally offensive.

“Still I kept my cool coz I wouldn’t want to get blocked and end up paying for money I didn’t owe, which I still did coz he only sent part of his payment and I had to cover up the balance of 11k with my salary at the end of the month…”

Following the online dragging, May D acknowledged owing the money and noted that he should be left alone because he is broke. He asked the lady to send her account number to him and wait for the end of the month for the balance.
