My Most Precious Human novel Chapter 10

The Diamond Crown Casino was in a 45-story building. The gambling games were placed on two floors, but they were merely a part of the entertainment the Diamond Crown Casino was providing. There was an enormous theatrical part of the building with five stages prepared to accommodate over ten thousand people in the audience seats. The rest of the building was taken by banquet halls, conference rooms, swimming pools, wellness and beauty salons, and, of course, the grand, luxurious hotel. Knowing that it was easy to imagine how much money was running through this place every day. The sum surely had a number of zeros that could make a head spin.

Carla met me right outside the building. The casino's crew for the event took all of the dishes out of Carla's truck. She prepared every dish carefully in advance, putting it all on separate, ready-to-serve plates. All of her appetizers, finger sandwiches, and sweets simply needed to be unwrapped and taken by the waitresses.

After the truck was unloaded, some other employees led Carla, me, and all the other girls to the changing room, where we could put our costumes and prepare for the event. Before going inside, I had assumed that the event would be happening at one of the banquet halls, but strangely, the employees directed us to some corridor behind a massive door that had a top-quality security panel.

Carla didn't seem to mind the fact that we were going to some unknown part of the building. As for me, every red light inside of my brain started flashing. I stayed alert the whole way to our changing room, especially since the corridor we were passing resembled a super-secret facility more with each step.

Finally, we got to the place. The room looked incredibly professional as if we were all supposed to be a part of some spectacle. There were rows of make-up stands with mirrors and lights, and separate hangers for each costume. I would never have imagined that the waitresses would prepare for work in such a place. It was also slightly weird that they paid more attention to our looks than they were concerned with the food or drinks…

"This costume is for you," Carla announced as she handed me a fancy red dress with multiple elements to wear.

"What is it?" I asked, trying to imagine what the whole piece would look like.

"You are going to be the Queen of Hearts! Isn't the fabric great?! And those crystals on the headpiece shine like diamonds!" she called out, elated.

I smiled awkwardly since I didn't want to spoil her mood, but the only thing I saw in that dress was the corset with a deep neckline, and I knew that I would never feel comfortable wearing something like that.

"And… what are you going to wear?" I asked, hoping to delay the moment of putting my dress on.

"I'm going to be a cute White Rabbit!" Carla giggled, showing her tight costume that resembled a playboy bunny suit.

"Wow… that's… courageous…" I laughed nervously.

"Oh, come on! It's going to be fun!" she sang joyfully. "Besides, I like observing how men lose their minds while looking at me…"

"Are you really ok with that?" I inquired hesitantly.

"Of course, it's all about the rule you can look but don't touch. I will not tolerate any harassment. If any of them tries something fishy, he'll find out how quick my slapping hand is…" Carla snickered cunningly.

I faintly chuckled then glanced at my costume again. I have never worn anything this sexy in my whole life. Not to mention that I had hardly ever worn anything feminine.

"Lilith… Don't be shy! You have an amazing figure. It's time to reveal some parts of it," Carla stated while winking at me.

I sighed and finally gave up. I clenched my fists to give myself courage. I put some tiny bits of make-up on my face, then started putting on the clothes. The piece had a short skirt at the front and long at the back. It revealed most of my legs. It was yet another thing that was making me uncomfortable. I took a deep breath and put on the rest of the costume, including the corset, the bolero with a high collar, and a headpiece that looked like a crown in the shape of a heart. As soon as I finished, Carla walked over to examine my efforts.
