a Trap

"For you." Rose held out a glass of beauty drink to Crystal who was enjoying her lunch in the kitchen.

Crystal lifted her face from the plate, she looked surprised to see the figure who had just spoken to her.

"Don't worry, it's harmless. It's a great beauty drink for our skin and body, you'll love it." Rose spoke again.

"Why did you give it to me?" Crystal spoke to Rose for the first time.

Rose pursed her lips. "I bought two bottles, the average employee in this restaurant is male. It seems impossible if I give this drink for women to one of them, right? And as for Mrs. Lu, she doesn't need this kind of drink anymore. Because That's why I gave it to you."

Crystal narrowed her eyes, trying to read the writing on the bottle that Rose gave her. Even though she wasn't very familiar with the drink, Crystal could read some of the ingredients that were familiar to her. Her friends at school often said the exact same words written on the bottle that Rose gave her.

"I want to be your friend."

Crystal immediately turned to Rose quickly.

Rose pursed her lips seeing Crystal's shocked expression. "Why, you don't want to be friends with me?"

"It's not that I don't want to, I just didn't expect someone like you to want to be friends with me. What made you suddenly want to be friends with me?" Crystal asked.

"Mrs Lu asked me to continue being friends with you, don't you know that we are the only two female employees in this restaurant?"

Crystal nodded. "I know."

"Yes, maybe on that basis Mrs Lu wants us both to be friends," said Rose casually. "So you want to be friends with me, right?" Rose extended her hand towards Crystal.

Crystal was silent for a few minutes, she didn't immediately accept Rose's hand. It felt strange and Crystal felt uncomfortable, Rose was the first to ask her to be friends. As a scholarship recipient at school, Crystal has absolutely no friends. Because of that she felt strange when Rose offered her a friendship.

"Crys.."

"My hands are dirty and…"

Crystal's words were cut off when Rose suddenly grabbed her left hand which wasn't touched by the food. "We're officially friends from today then," she said carelessly.

Crystal looked so shocked, she really couldn't believe Rose would shake her hand first. Even though it was the father who caused the wound inside her, Crystal's level of trust in others was very small, that's why at this moment she seemed very surprised by what Rose had done.

Rose released Crystal's hand from her grip. "Okay then, I'll go back to the cashier desk. We'll exchange cell phone numbers after work hours are over, ok."

"Okay."

Rose laughed again. "Nice to meet you, Crys."

Crystal did not answer Rose's words, the voice of a visitor who had just entered the restaurant made Crystal wake up from her daydream. Immediately Crystal returned to eating, she didn't want to waste the food she got for free. Food in the restaurant is the only source of nutritional improvement for Crystal during school holidays like this, her money from school is simply not enough for her to survive that's why Crystal decided to work. Crystal is quite aware that she cannot continue to depend on her life on the scholarship she received from the school where she has studied for the past four years.

"Meet me at this place in three hours," Rose said quietly as she handed Crystal her club certificate.

Crystal frowned, even though she had lived in Melbourne for almost nine years but she had never explored the fun places in the city which has the nickname 'the city with four seasons a day'.

"What is this place?" Crystal asked confusedly as she flipped through the card Rose had given her.

Rose raised her eyebrows, a mysterious glint appeared in her brown eyes. "You've never been to places like this before?"

Crystal shook her head. "Not yet, what is this place anyway?"

Rose smirked. "Fun place, you'll love it."

"But..."

"Don't forget three more hours, wear whatever clothes make you feel comfortable." Rose interrupted Crystal's words with her best fake smile. "I'll pick you up in front of this place, see you tonight Cyrstal. Bye."

With fast steps Rose ran leaving Crystal who was still standing in silence, because the distance from Mrs. Lu's restaurant and the highway was not too far Crystal could see what Rose was doing. Rose rides in a luxury car!! Strange…

Because she felt uncomfortable with her sweat-drenched clothes, Crystal decided to go home immediately. At times like this she really misses the cold water in her overflowing bathroom.

Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen's Club. 9.30 PM.

No one knows if Rose the cashier at Mrs Lu's restaurant is part of a stripper worker in one of the biggest striptease clubs in Melbourne, the beautiful and sexy Rose has managed to live her double life in two different establishments.

Slap….

A hard slap from a graceful man's hand landed on Rose's tantalizing buttocks, because only using the g-string resulted in the slap leaving a red mark on Rose's sexy ass.

"Ouchh..." Rose breathed hoarsely.

The graceful man named Eduardo who had just slapped Rose's ass laughed out loud. "Is the news I heard true?"

"What news?" Rose pretended not to know.

"Bad girl," Eduardo growled exasperatedly. "I know you understand where I'm going."

Rose chuckled. "1000% correct, since I recruited her myself."

"Then how is the quality of the goods?"

"I think you'll make a big profit from your virgin-blood-crazy customers, Eddie. This girl is absolutely guaranteed to be authentic."

"Is that true!!!" Eduardo shrieked with joy. "You'll get a big bonus from me after tonight, Rose."

Rose's eyes opened wide. "What percentage of my share?"

"70%," Eduardo answered with promise, his naughty fingers squeezing Rose's ass again.

Rose tiptoed when Eduardo's naughty fingers teased her again, even though Eduardo was a same-sex lover, but Eduardo was still born a boy.

"Ed..."

"Ok..ok.." Eduardo immediately removed his hand from one of Rose's valuable assets. "Let me know if the girl comes, I will prepare the best clothes for her."

***

Crystal tightened the jacket that wrapped her body when she was standing in front of the entrance of the Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen's Club, even though she had not entered the building that stood firmly in front of her eyes, Crystal already felt very uncomfortable. The many pairs of eyes staring at her like hungry animals really made Crystal nervous. Crystal opened her cellphone several times to confirm the address that Rose had given her this afternoon.

"What exactly is this place?" Crystal spoke to herself for the umpteenth time.

And Crystal's curiosity was immediately answered when Rose suddenly appeared.

"Why don't you just go in?"

Crystal took a step back, trying to distance herself from Rose who tonight looked so different from the Rose Crystal knew when she was working at Mrs Lu's restaurant. Looks like a different person.

"What's the matter with you, Crys?"

Crystal shook her head. "I should be the one asking you that kind of question, what's wrong with you? I mean what's with all this? Your makeup and your clothes.."

Rose spread her arms wide. "What's with my appearance? Isn't my appearance normal?"

"You look like someone I don't know."

Rose laughed amusedly, the dishwasher at the restaurant where she worked was absolutely adorable. Rose immediately imagined the amount of money she would get from Eduardo once it was all over, Crystal was such an easy prey.

Still wearing her fake mask, Rose walked towards Crystal, even though Crystal refused to hug her but Rose still tried to put on her best smile. "Come in," he said softly.

"Into where?"

"This place of course," said Rose quickly, pointing to the club where she worked. "You certainly won't go home without looking inside first, right?"

Crystal looked around again, seeing the situation around the club which was already filled with men.

"I don't think I..."

"Don't be." Rose immediately grabbed Crystal's hand, gripping her wrist tightly. Rose smiled in amusement when she felt how cold Crystal's body was right now, virgin girls were really fun. "You're an adult Crys, it's time for you to play around in a place like this. Don't worry, I'll take care of you. Trust me."
