Chapter3- Bachelor's Party

Felicity was preparing herself for the event that she will be guesting for Andrew's bachelor’s party. She took a deep breath as she couldn’t believe that for all events or bachelor’s party that she will be the dancer, was Andrew’s. Why him? She smirked at the thought that fate was messing with her life.

Four years ago, Mr. Tan saw her holding a baby along the street. She couldn’t find a place to live together with her son. At that time, it tempted Felicity to bring Apollo to the orphanage, but she can’t as she felt lonely and she knows that she can’t afford to leave her son there.

A car stopped in front of Felicity, which made her frown. Mr. Tan was with Andrew at that moment and they rescued them. Mr. Tan gave her a house to live in, in exchange… she has to work in the club as a waitress. Because they informed her that she’s not at the legal age yet to be an entertainer. Andrew and she became friends. But when she chose the path of an entertainer at the club, Andrew made a wall between them.

Felicity took a deep breath and went inside a huge gift box that was placed in the middle of the room where the party was being held. She was wearing a bunny headdress, a white furry brassiere, and short furry underwear with a white bunny tail. Felicity heard the host talking. The event was getting started and her heart keep on pounding so fast like she was in a race. ‘Why am I nervous like it was my first time? Probably it's because it has been 2 years since I performed this kind of event.’ She shrugged her thoughts away. The guests were cheering when they heard the host introduce the dancer of the night.

The huge box opened, and Felicity began to dance seductively, facing her back to the audience. Andrew’s friends were cheering and asked to face them. When Felicity turned around, her eyes darted to a guy beside Andrew. ‘He looks familiar.’ She thought.

Her eyes widened when she remembered who it was. He was the guy who she bumped into at the mall and found her son. She immediately turned around while she keeps on dancing, acting like she didn’t know him. Jeremy, on the other hand, began to become serious. His brows were frowning as he leaned on the couch. ‘She’s the woman from the mall.’ He scoffed. ‘So, this is her job?’ He shook his head disappointingly.

Other Andrew’s friends went wild as they were all drunk. One of Andrew’s friends stood up and walked toward Felicity. He approached her after her performance. “Hey. Happy, right?” He asked. His eyes were full of lust looking at Felicity’s body. Felicity just looked at him and smiled awkwardly.

“Can I take you home?” He bit his lips, trying to seduce Felicity.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t.” She smiled and was about to go out of the room after she got her pay from Andrew’s butler. But the guy was so persistent. He held her arms to stop her from walking away.

“Don’t be rude, Miss. Come on… How much are you?” Felicity scoffed and glared at the guy.

“I’m sorry. I’m not for sale.” She extracts her arms from his grasp. The guy scoffed at her remarks.

“Stop the crap, Miss. Don’t act like you are clean. This is your job, isn’t it? Why are you acting like an innocent woman? Don’t worry, I will pay you triple.” The guy began dragging her forcefully.

Jeremy saw them as he was on his way to his car. He noticed Jerome, one of Andrew’s guests, was forcing Felicity to go inside his car. “Let me go!” He heard Felicity saying. “I said, Let. Me. Go!” she sternly said. But the guy acted like he didn’t hear Felicity’s protests. Jeremy sighed exasperatingly. Jeremy approached them and stopped him from closing the door from the shotgun seat,, which made Jerome look at him with a frown.

“Is there a problem here? It seems like that lady doesn’t want to go with you. Isn’t it unmanly if you force a woman? You may end up in jail.” He said, but Jerome spits in front of him.

“Don’t meddle in someone else’s business. If I were you, you better go home.” Jerome warned.

Jeremy smirked and looked at Felicity, who was struggling from Jerome’s grip while looking at him like she was asking for help. “I don’t usually interfere, but seeing this woman’s estate, I think I should butt in.”

Jerome put his hand on his shoulder. “Dude, I am warning you. Get out of my way. If you want a woman, go find another one. I took her first, and I am paying how much she costs.”

“I told you, I am not going with you!” Felicity suddenly spoke, which made Jerome feel irritated and slapped her on her cheeks. Jeremy’s eyes widened. Gritting his teeth, he forcedly turned Jerome to face him and punched Jerome right into his face. Jerome was taken aback as he fell down to the ground.

“What the hell!” Jerome said. He was about to stand up but Jeremy kicked him in his chest and made him lie down on the ground. He immediately held Felicity’s hand and pulled her out of the car.

With long strides, Jeremy reached his car. He opened the shotgun seat for Felicity. But she just stood up. “Thank you for your help. I can go home on my own,” she said.

Jeremy looked at her from head to toe. “I’ll drop you in your house. I don’t think you can walk around with what you were wearing.” Felicity looked at herself in the reflection of Jeremy’s window car. She was still wearing her costume. She just put on a robe when Jerome took her out.

“But my things were still at the hotel.-”

“I will ask my assistant to get your things.”

“The guys were all drunk. Aren’t you afraid to be harassed again?” He asked. “I forgot. This is your work. You’re used to those men touching you and looking at you lustfully,” he stated.

Felicity clenched her fist as he insulted her. “They paid you to get naked and fill their minds with your body. Why should I let myself interfere with you when he paid you to sleep with him? Tell me, how many men did you sleep with?” Jeremy received a hard slap, and Felicity's tears fell at the same time.

“You have no right to judge me.” She wiped the tears that escaped from her eyes and ran away, leaving Jeremy alone.
