The Heavenly Bar, it's where she's been working for the past two years.
It gave men out there the chance to taste her body for a not so cheap price. A hell she never imagined would be the place where she had to rely on to support her sister's life, apart from the hospital of course.
Walking in, she saw her boss, also the owner of this business, Madam Lexa, chatting with some men near the toilet. The bar had just opened and only a few customers had come in. Jane then sat next to Kayla, her close friend during her work here, who apparently arrived earlier and was sitting nicely at the bar table.
"You're already getting drunk in the afternoon?" she asked in disbelief when she saw Kayla drinking what she knew was her favourite drink, gin.
Laughing softly, the blonde woman put back the shot glass she was holding. "One glass won't make me drunk. If I get drunk, please carry me." She poked Jane's shoulder, which was covered by her cardigan with her index finger.
Jane pushed away her friend's hand and poked her forehead back. "I'll carry you then throw you into the abyss, how about that?"
They then laughed together and Jane watched as Kayla gave her attention back to her drink.
Seeing Kayla, Jane couldn't help but reminisce about her past. That woman played a big role in her life. Without Kayla, Jane wouldn't have been able to discover this job and pay for her younger sister's medical treatment. Jane wouldn't blame Kayla for what happened to her. Nor did she want to blame the fact that there were too few job opportunities that she had to compete with many other people out there.
She chose this job. So, she was also responsible for all the consequences that awaited her.
"Hey, how is your sister do-"
"Kayla! Go to room number three! Mr. Foxx will arrive shortly," Madam Lexa's shout cut off Kayla's sentence. Kayla just raised her thumb in the air, although with an annoyed expression.
She hates it when her sentences are interrupted, intentionally or not.
"Wow, looks like someone's going to hit the jackpot tonight," Jane teased. She knows that Mr. Foxx is not hesitant to pay more than the regular rate, especially if he's being served by someone like Kayla, one of the bar's favourites chosen by the clients.
"Not bad. I can buy the expensive bag that I showed you the other day," Kayla chuckled, perhaps imagining herself holding the expensive bag.
Jane didn't want Kayla to get carried away with her own imagination. So, she gently pushed Kayla's body and said, "Mr. Foxx doesn't like those who are late. Hurry to room number three or you might lose the chance to buy your expensive bag."
"Wait, are you kicking me out? I'm your senior, you know!" Jane just stuck out her tongue and watched Kayla walk away from there. Occasionally, Jane could see how Kayla was trying to adjust her skirt, making her white thighs even more visible.
As the night grows later, the bar becomes more crowded. Kayla has finished serving one of her loyal customers and has joined Jane again. More people occupy the tables at the bar. Some men offer to buy drinks or invite them to dance and they are all served well.
Both Jane and Kayla are busy moving their bodies to the rhythm when their hands are pulled away from there. The dim lights make it difficult for them to recognize other people's faces. But here, only one woman will use a butterfly clip that big to adorn her brunette hair.
Madam Lexa.
"Why don't you hear me when I call you?"
Jane and Kayla looked at each other. How could they hear her call them when her voice was drowned out by the loud music being played?
"Never mind. Go to room number one, Kayla. Willy Ford is waiting for you there." Kayla jumped up and down, clapping her hands upon hearing this.
Her beloved curly-haired guy is finally here.
"You too, Jane. He brought his friend with him. Don't forget to give them the best service."
Kayla immediately pulled Jane and went upstairs to room number one as instructed by their boss. Jane was a little surprised actually, but she brushed off the shock because she rarely gets to work with her friend.
The first thing that greeted them behind the door was two men sitting on the sofa. Not just two men, according to Jane.
Two super handsome men.
And certainly super rich.
Jane already knew Willy, the curly-haired guy who only wanted to meet Kayla if he came here. But the other handsome man was a stranger, he seemed to have never set foot here before because Jane had never seen him during her time working here. Kayla had told Jane that the payment Willy gave her was quite substantial. Not to mention the other gifts that came with it as a bonus. If Jane could hope, she also wanted Willy's friend to do the same like his friend.
Jane was still lost in her own thoughts while standing near the door while Kayla had already entered into Willy's embrace.
"Kayla, my sweet darling. You look more beautiful every day."
"Oh, Willy. How could you leave such a beautiful woman like me alone?"
"Well, I won't leave you alone tonight."
Jane looked at the scene in front of her with amusement. She even covered both her ears, feeling sorry for having to hear disgusting conversations earlier. She secretly glanced at Willy's friend. He also seemed to have the same expression.
Willy and Kayla then walked towards the exit while hugging each other intimately. Willy grabbed the doorknob and said, "Kayla and I will go to the next room. You guys can use this room, ok?"
And after that, the two of them disappeared behind the door, leaving Jane and the guy she didn't even know the name of alone.
Jane just hoped that she could get a good money tonight.
This is really unexpected for Jane. She and the man who introduced himself as Lucas a while ago ended up being busy talking about various things. Even though she had prepared herself to serve him as well as she always does. This man is not a scumbag like the men she usually meets. He even kept his distance from her by sitting at the end of the sofa. When Jane offered him a drink, he politely refused, saying that he doesn't drink alcohol. And when asked about his purpose of coming here, he only came to accompany his friend, nothing more. Jane dared to say that Lucas is a good man. Jane really enjoyed their conversation so far. It's been a long time since she could speak freely like this. She even dared to tell a little about her life. "So, you work here to pay for your sister's medical treatment?" Lucas asked and Jane could catch a tone of concern in his voice, something she didn't really like. "Yes, that's right. The job requirements nowadays are very difficult. Even if there is
"Hi, Jane. It's so nice to see you." "Oh… Hi to you too, Lucas." The man sat with his legs raised. He waved at her with a small smile before she was asked to sit next to him. Despite her doubts, Jane did as she was told. She wondered what was really going on. "What is going on here?" Jane asked, not sure about the situation. Jane's first thought was about how Lucas might be curious and want to use her services. Finally he dropped his good man facade. That was probably the reason why he was in front of her now, even though they had only met last night. Jane didn't have any other possible thoughts or reasons. Jane looked at Madam Lexa and Lucas in turn. They both exchanged glances, as if wanting to know who would speak first. Madam Lexa looked at Jane then. "There is something that we need to talk about." Finally! Someone finally spoke up and was willing to dispel the curiosity in her mind. But okay? Jane understands that there must be something they need to talk about because
As if knowing that there was an impatient customer, their food arrived quite quickly. And without further ado, Jane started to enjoy her breakfast. Despite her annoyance, Jane had to admit that she was quite enjoying her breakfast this morning. The waffle she ate was really delicious and became even more perfect when she spread it with her favorite chocolate spread. In less than ten minutes, she had finished her breakfast."So, where is your promised explanation?" Jane urged Lucas, who seemed indifferent and was still busy enjoying his pancakes.Janem thinks that Lucas is getting revenge by not answering his question because he did the same thing to him earlier. He straightened up when he saw Lucas put down his knife and fork, a sign that he was done with his breakfast."It's not good to talk while eating, Jane," Lucas said after wiping his mouth."I don't need your advice. Now quickly tell me what all this means."Lucas cleared his throat before starting. "You know, I spent a fantast
Lucas thought his life was perfect. He had almost everything.Everything was complete, and he couldn't complain about his life. But that changed when his grandfather passed away. For the first time, he faced a problem that might ruin his life entirely.Willy, Lucas's friend, asked if he agreed with his idea. Lucas was at Willy's apartment, sitting on the balcony, enjoying the breathtaking view of the night. "What else can she do besides agreeing? She no longer needs to work as a prostitute, and I will give her a lot of money. She only needs to be my wife for a few months, and everything will be over." Lucas was desperate, thinking that there was only a dead-end for his problem. For the first time in a while, he thanked his friend Willy because he gave him an idea that he had never thought of before."I was just talking nonsense back then, Luke. Are you sure my idea can help you?" Willy asked, feeling a bit uncertain. "Do you have any better idea?" Lucas asked Willy, who remained silen
Jane breathed a sigh of relief as the train she was on arrived at its destination. She quickly got up from her seat and walked out. With a little haste, she walked past several people, wanting to get out of the crowded station as soon as possible.It had been about six months since she last set foot in New Oak to check on Serra. Blame her job for not allowing her to visit her sister frequently, but now that she was free, she could visit her sister whenever she wanted.As usual, she would stop by the flower shop first to buy flowers for her sister. Serra wouldn't be happy if she visited her after so long without bringing anything. She chose beautiful and bright daisy flowers that reminded her of her sister's figure."Thank you," she said as she received her ordered flowers, which had been beautifully arranged, and quickly left.Jane looked around, curious if anything had changed in her hometown. Unfortunately, every time she went to New Oak, she only went to the hospital and accompanie
"I'm going home, Uncle. Take care." Lucas said, closing the door to his uncle's hospital room softly so as not to disturb him, as he seemed to be falling asleep due to the medication he had been given.Taking a deep breath, Lucas was grateful that he didn't have to spend any more time at the hospital. He had no personal issues or grudges with his uncle that would make him want to spend any more time here.What he disliked about the place was the environment. Lucas hated hospitals. For him, the hospital easily made him feel uncomfortable. So when the nurse entered his uncle's room earlier and gave him medicine, Lucas was ecstatic inside.He quickly said goodbye and promised to visit again later, having already spent the morning and afternoon with his uncle. If he didn't leave now, he might end up spending the night there.Lucas was only disappointed that his parents couldn't come with him to visit his uncle, who had suffered a heart attack a few days ago. If they had come, Lucas wouldn
With happy steps, Lucas entered the luxury apartment complex where his girlfriend lived. It felt like only yesterday when Lucas came here alone, picked a unit that he thought was suitable, and finally bought it for his beautiful girlfriend. And that was about five years ago.How fast time passed, but that wouldn't affect the love he had for her. They were still like a new couple in love. At least for him.With a beautiful flower bouquet in his hand, Lucas pressed his girlfriend's apartment bell. He could have gone straight in because he knew the password, but he was a true gentleman. He wouldn't just enter a woman's place like that, even if the woman was his own girlfriend. He had both respect and great love for that woman.While waiting, Lucas looked at the hallway where he stood now. It was really quiet, the main reason he chose this apartment. It was in line with his desire to hide his girlfriend from her family. Speaking of her family, he really hoped that none of them knew he was
Lucas could feel his respect and admiration for his late grandfather grow each time he looked at the photo. The photo, displayed in a large frame in the family room, showed his grandfather with a serious expression that could intimidate anyone, including Lucas himself. Despite this, Lucas found his grandfather incredibly authoritative and handsome.Lucas wasn't sure when it started, but looking at the photo had become an unconscious daily routine."Mr. Lucas must be very sad about the passing of the Grand Master.""Of course. Mr. Lucas was his favorite grandson."He often overheard the servants whispering like this and chuckled inwardly. They weren't entirely wrong, but Lucas didn't want to confirm their words entirely either. Everyone grieves the permanent loss of a family member, unless they're a psychopath. Lucas was indeed sad. His grandfather had been a constant figure in his life since he was born. The reality that the founder of the Winter Group was no longer around felt like a
“I’M GOING CRAZY!” Jane screamed, letting the documents Lucas had brought to her apartment the other day fall over her face. Lucas had never mentioned that memorizing details would be part of her role as his temporary wife.The last time Jane had to memorize so much was back in high school, specifically for her terrifying final exams. She never imagined she’d have to do it again years later.In her mind, she kept repeating the answers to potential questions she might face.Her name is Jane Sharpe. Not Jane Summers .She works as a secretary at one of Willy’s company branches in Minst.Her parents are deceased, and she is an only child.She and Lucas first met when he visited Minst a few months ago. From there, they slowly fell in love.Willy had crafted this entire lie for her to recite, and it was her job to memorize it. Jane agreed, to some extent. Preparing for battle with strategies and tactics was wise for achieving a decisive victory.She was about to turn to the next page when
Jane woke up to the sound of the doorbell being pressed constantly. Sometimes she got annoyed with herself for being so easily woken by noises. It would be nice if she could sleep through it like other people.Dragging herself out of bed, Jane walked to the door to see who had disturbed her peaceful sleep. She wondered who would visit her apartment and ring the bell so rudely. It couldn't be the landlord, as she only came around for late payments, and Jane had paid her rent through the end of the year.So, who could it be?Without bothering to check, she opened the door, only to be met by the angry face of her best friend."You! There's so much you need to explain to me!"Of course, it was Kayla. Who else would be so disrespectful to her?Without waiting for an invitation, Kayla barged into the apartment. She put her bag on the table and headed to the kitchen, opening every cabinet and the fridge, pulling out various food items, and starting to put on the apron that hung haphazardly o
