"Yeah, good luck, Sean..." Celine said. Then drive the car. Leaving Siu Sean at the bus stop, and walking along the sidewalk heading back to her boarding house.
Back to seeing the furry place that never looked really neat even though Siu Sean had diligently cleaned the place even from the fungus-fungus though. Make Siu Sean reflect. Twist yourself for a while and admire yourself that it turns out to be this amazing too.
Ah, even though it felt like Cinderella had come home from a party and returned to her old hut.
"Hi, my name is Siu Sean..." said Siu Sean in front of the mirror. Then pointed at her own face in there. "Then who are you, the beautiful one? May I introduce you?"
Ahahah... Siu Sean must be going crazy.
Oh Lord...
Siu Sean must be going crazy. Even though all this time, no matter how many times she was praised by customers at the cafe while working as a barista, she had never been this happy because she looked beautiful.
Wait-wait-wait.
Wait a minute.
Wait.
Why did she forget?
Isn't the purpose of all this to sell oneself?
Siu Sean was suddenly dazed. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Zhu Fei Long's photo once again on her phone screen.
Ah... Handsome man.
Handsome, rich, classy, and Celine said good too.
Very good. At least Siu Sean's fate isn't bad, right? By getting a real version of Prince William like that.
Celine is right. They are the incarnation of the handsome and beautiful in fairy tales. They come from a different world. But they'll be dancing on the alcohol-scented stage tonight. In the midst of an atmosphere of Christmas celebration that was different from the years that Siu Sean had experienced before.
Unfortunately, the story of Siu Sean is not as happy as in the Disney fairy tales. Because she is not playing the role of Zhu Fei Long's true love, who only met after they had been alone for a long time. But as a prostitute who will be hired because of the sickening reality of the world.
"Ahhh... That's right..." Siu Sean sighed. She laughed sadly and had time to squeeze Sarah's hair which had been neatly styled using a soft, fruity-scented wax spray. Her head suddenly dizzy. Very. Her forehead felt warm too. But when it was like that, Edward Rich's name suddenly reappeared on the screen of her cellphone. "Eh? E-Edward?"
And because the first call went unanswered, Edward Rich is now sending a message.
Siu Sean... I know you're there. Answer my phone.
(Edward Rich)
Siu Sean also called Edward Rich back at that time. "Ed?"
"Siu Sean!" Edward Rich's voice sounded delighted and relieved. "How are you? Are you all right?"
"Me?"
"Yes!"
"I... I'm fine, really," said Siu Sean. "Why?"
"What's the matter? Didn't Celine take you out all day with that scary pimp?"
"Eh? You know?"
"Of course because I followed you!" said Edward Rich frontal. "You said you wanted me to be your supervisor? So you don't think I'd think about such a risky stupid job intention any day?"
"G-Gosh... Edward..."
On the other side, Edward Rich snorted softly. "Listen, Sean..." he said. "I know more about Madam Rho Vin than she does. She is terrifying even though she looks gentle like your real mother at home. Why? Because once you are in her hands, anyone will find it difficult to get out unless there is a hand as strong as Zhu Fei Long to make up for your existence."
DEG
Siu Sean's heart seemed to be about to collapse. "W-Why?"
"Oh my... How innocent..." Edward Rich grumbled. Siu Sean even had time to imagine her friend ruffling her own hair on the other side as well. "Madam Rho Vin is a pimp! Pimp! Whatever she thinks is taking advantage of you, Sean! Of course she's happy because your first client was Zhu Fei Long's classmate. But honestly, I'm happy too. Why? , that woman could just throw you into a lowly whore shelter."
"W-What?"
This time. Every second. Every word Edward Rich accidentally stabbed into her ear hurt more than they had been in the library any day.
Oh no. But she was just happy. Even though tonight was an extraordinarily blessed time that she wished would make her a little happy with this decision. But not.
This turned out to be a nightmare!
Siu Sean suddenly felt more stupid than Edward Rich thought.
"S-So, what should I do?"
"What should I do? Why ask again?" asked Edward Rich. "Seduce Zhu Fei Long seriously! Make him interested in touching you and even to the point of wanting to buy you from a mutual agreement with Madam Rho Vin. Get the money, make him happy, then find a way to dump him. Easy right?"
"I-I..."
"Why do you think Mei Mei accepted a businessman's boyfriend? Apart from the news that the man loves her, he also has the power to free Mei Mei from the filth of the working world in Bar The Scuttes."
"Ah..."
Suddenly, the heat in Siu Sean's head quickly spread throughout her body. Not. This is bad. Siu Sean can't be sick this afternoon! Do not! Because on Christmas Eve, she really had to go to Zhu Fei Long on stage.
"Understood right?"
"But if you make Zhu Fei Long like me and leave him, i-is that not so bad?"
"No!" Edward Rich said. "You forgot he's married? So listen to my words. Not Celine. You know? She who was that hard at helping you meet Zhu Fei Long, how could you not get a penny..."
Now, both of Siu Sean's palms became cold sweat. "Y-You're right..." she said. "Thanks, Edward. Y-You've done it for me so far."
"Yeah—not free."
DEG
"What?"
What do you mean, Edward?
Siu Sean's mind was already wandering.
"Y-You asked me to pay too—"
"For God's sake, no!" Edward insisted for a moment. "Why would you think that? I just want you not to close yourself off to me. Got it? I want to be given a chance to be a lover. I'm a man. Stop seeing me as your best friend..."
