"Why are you in a daze? Weren't you bored? Let's go, I'll take you someplace nice." Monique patted me energetically on my shoulder and dragged me out.
I followed her out of the bar and asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"
"You'll know when you get there!" she replied.
The street was lined with bars. I thought she was taking me for a stroll, therefore I asked helplessly, "You left the bar and dragged me out here for a walk, are you the one who's bored instead?"
"What are you talking about?" She pointed at a grand nightclub not far away. "There are people taking care of the bar. You said you were bored, hence I'll take you to see the outside world!"
Other than Monique's bar, I seldom went anywhere else. I was then getting dragged into an extravagant nightclub by her. For a moment, I felt as if my ears would be blown off by the blaring music.
Monique was familiar with the place. She found an obvious spot on the second floor and called for the manager. "Get us two fine men," instructed Monique.
The manager nodded repeatedly and responded, "Alright, I'll bring some people over to let you choose."
I looked at Monique as the corners of my eyes twitched a little. "Why are you asking for escorts?" "To accompany us," she said with a straight face. She placed a glass of juice in front of me and added, "Let me show you that any other man can be gentler than Hendrix. Don't waste your time and energy on him all day. You need to have your own temper too."
Before I could say anything, the manager, who had just left a while ago, brought along with him more than a dozen male escorts. I was stunned for a moment.
"Choose one. There are different types of men here. Don't you like the overbearing CEO type? Look at the man in the suit. His appearance and temperament don't seem to be worse than Hendrix's!" As Monique said, she picked a cute male escort for herself.
The male escort walked up to her and poured her a glass of wine. Then, he held her hand affectionately. Not only did Monique not resist, she even leaned against his chest.
My jaw dropped out of shock. Could it be that Monique frequented this place?
No wonder she didn't look for a boyfriend...
"What are you looking at us for? Hurry up and pick one!" Monique urged.
