Chapter 13

Addison's POV

I was seated in the county yard of my mansion, sipping a cold beer when Austin approached me.

“Hey, buddy! Bored?”

He sat beside me and took a sip from my beer.

“Not really. I just don't know if I'm doing the right thing, I don't know if I should be doing this.”

“You know, it's been almost a week since I got back, and you won't even talk to me about your mate anymore. Didn't you say you wanted to tell me some things about her?”

“Sure.” I nodded. “But I am not convinced that would be necessary anymore.”

“What do you mean by that won't be necessary? C'mon, talk to me, buddy. You haven't been yourself since I got back.”

“Yeah, I know, but I can't help it.” I chugged the beer.

“What's going on? Do you need an escape from it?”

“That sounds like a plan..... A perfect plan on what to do.”

“A club?” He shrugged.

“Anywhere as long as it's an escape from all of this...... I'm fine with it.”

It was getting dark, but I couldn't leave the house without informing Alison.

“I'll be right back, let me go inform Alison about it.” I said, but he grabbed my wrist and shook his head.

“No, I doubt that would be a good idea. Let's just go, I promise we'll be back within the blink of an eye.”

I agreed with him, and we sprinted to the car, at least, it's an escape. It would be ruined if anyone else knows about it.

Amelia's POV.

I sat on the bed in the hotel room while Alden was fast asleep, I couldn't help but think about all Agatha was going through to put food on the table and pay for the hotel fee. There must be something I can do to help.

“I have to do this.” I mouthed as my eyes fell on Alden.

With a soft huff that escaped my lips, I got out of bed, walked to the wardrobe and brought out my bag. I ransacked it and saw a tight and sexy jumpsuit I once got myself for my birthday.

“This would do!” My lips parted in a thin line as I lifted the jumpsuit up, my eyes admiring it.

Hurriedly but quietly, I got dressed, wore a mask on my face and rushed out of the house.

“I'm only going to work a few hours and get back before Agatha does. That way, she won't find out about any of this.” I kept saying to myself as I roamed the streets looking for a stripper club.

Bingo!

I finally found one, and I wasted no time to rushed into it.

The lit lights were almost blinding, the smell of liquor and beer mixed with different perfume brought back some old memories, but I shook them off my head.

“It's only for survival.” I muttered to myself but got interrupted by a voice.

“You look hot, girl.” A fat and almost disgusting looking man complimented me and smacked his lower lips.

“How much is it for the night? Won't it be nice if you take off your mask and show me what you've got?”

“Fuck off, Santa Cruz! Tonight isn't for your Christmas.” I scoffed with a snap and walked away from him while I could hear his giggling.

I tried to find someone to talk to, but everyone seemed busy with their business. Not only that, but I've been here before, so I know how it works, I can't just hook up with anyone here unless the owner and I sign a deal.

“Excuse me.......” I ran after a lady, but she paid no attention to me. “Well, I'm excused.” I pouted my lips.

I stood there for a couple of minutes, looking around at the busy people and at the verge to give up when someone paid attention to me.

“Lost or looking for something?” A sweet voice likened to vanilla asked behind me, and I turned to her.

She was stunning...... I couldn't find the correct words to compliment her, but I'm sure I've never seen anyone as beautiful as her.

“Huh?” She snapped her fingers at my face to shake me out of my daydream.

“Yeah.......” I chuckled. “I was hoping to find a job here tonight but seems everyone is busy minding their business.”

“Sure, that's how it works here. In here, you don't know anyone and you shouldn't interact except when you're doing so per order.”

“So, on whose order are you talking to me now?”

“On my order.” She whispered with her hand covering a side of her mouth, and we both laughed.

“About the work, what exactly can you do?” She asked as she took a few steps away from me, which I followed her immediately.

“I can strip, dance and keep a client company over the night.” I said, and she altered her next step and turned to me.

“You mean sex?”

“No.......” I shook my head. “I don't have sex with them, but there are a lot more things I can do to get them attached to me.”

“Well, that's nice. Let's go meet the boss then. I'm sure he would be able to fix you somewhere, as we are short of staff.”

My heart was clouded with joy, and I silently prayed that the boss would accept me. But when we entered the VIP lounge, I was shocked at whom I saw – it was the fat and almost disgusting man from earlier.

My lips parted in a round shape as our eyes met.

“Oh! We meet again, sexy.”

“You've met her before?” The lady asked.

“Sure, and she did speak some senses into me.” He scoffed softly and shifted his gaze to me.

“I deeply apologize for what happened earlier, I really didn't mean it that way.” I briskly uttered.

“Sure, I understand. Please, have a seat.” He offered us.

“How may I be of help?”

“A job........ A job is all I ask from you.”

“You want me to give a masked person a job? That's can't be possible, you got to be kidding me.”

“You would be missing something great if you don't employ her....... I think she's got the talent and besides, we shouldn't care about each other's business, isn't that the rule here?" The lady solicited for me.

An awkward silence fell on the delegation for some seconds while the man decided my fate.

“You could be of good use.” He uttered.
