“Is it because of the money? I can give you more. Also, I'll buy you a house which will be our love nest. Whatever else you want will be yours. Furthermore, I won't interfere with your private life. All you need to do is to accompany me four to five times a month. Given my current health, I don't have much energy left for women. Consequently, this deal allows you to earn a lot more than what you make as a dancer. Moreover, you don't have to be taken advantage of by those lecherous men,” the middle-aged man persuaded Hilda.
However, she had steeled her resolve not to be anyone's lover. After all, she didn't want to sacrifice her future for the sake of temporary gratification. In fact, she felt nauseated just by looking at him alone. If he wasn't her boss, she would have long given him an earful.
“Sir, I really can't do this. Why don't you look for someone else?”
Hilda shook her head again.
Faced with Hilda's rejection, the middleaged man’s expression changed drastically. “Given where you are, do you think you have a choice? Once I have set my sights on a woman, she will definitely be mine.”
Frightened, Hilda sprang to her feet and tried to flee. Unexpectedly, her head began to spin the moment she stood up.
“Hahaha! There's no escape. You've had a drink with me. Do you think I'll let you go?”
The middle-aged man burst into laughter.
As Hilda's face turned pale, she felt the urge to swear at him. Unfortunately, she lost the ability to even part her lips while her vision of the middle-aged man began to blur.
Finally, she collapsed on the couch with a thud. Unable to move a muscle, she gradually lost her consciousness.
Meanwhile, Jenny was smoking a cigarette in the bar's main lobby, watching the vivacious dancers on stage enviously.
Once upon a time, she, too, was just as young and beautiful. Unmatched on stage, she had become her boss' mistress.
But now, she had become a madam to him and was unsettled by her increasingly bleak future.
“Jenny, the boss has set his sights on Hilda. Looks like she has struck gold this time,” a waiter remarked softly beside Jenny.
