Chereads / The Boy with Scars / Chapter 3 - Side job

Chapter 3 - Side job

Zhan, Cheng sighed deeply, his eyes heavy with emotion. He pulled me close and enveloped me in a warm embrace, holding me tight. I closed my eyes and savored the moment. We stayed like that for a few moments. The silent understanding between us was palpable and comforting. Eventually, he released me but stepped back, his gaze never leaving me.

There's a place in the VIP lounge called "The Temptation." There is no breach of privacy because there are substantial wooden walls separating us from the clients. Customers stand while we kneel in front of them and perform a blow job. There are different cubicles, so you don't have to worry about others seeing you. I and the manager are the only ones who know their identities. It must be strictly private, with no communication between the customer and us, and you will be paid generously depending on your performance. The manager also gets a tip. Everything is done discretely and with the utmost care to ensure customer satisfaction.

"How long have you been doing this? If you don't mind me asking."

Two years ago, when my sister needed money for school, I started doing it to help her out. So, I continued to do it, and it became a regular job for me. He shrugged.

"Why didn't you tell me? I pouted."

I don't know. He said as his eyes wandered everywhere but my face.

I know, I said, reaching out to put my hand on his shoulder. I'm just sad that you felt like you couldn't tell me. I would never judge you or love you less; you know that, right?

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he smiled.

I was certainly intrigued when I heard about the job opportunity; the pay was reasonable, and the hours were flexible. I knew this was my chance to save money and move away from this stupid city. I immediately told Cheng I was interested. I was so excited to start another chapter in my life and couldn't wait to leave my guardians. I was finally ready to take the leap and start my journey. Having worked at Ecstasy for two years, I am thankful for the opportunity I was given.

"Zhan, are you sure about this? His voice sounded concerned as he asked."

Yes, Cheng. I am absolutely certain.

I asked Cheng for more details, and he explained the entire process to me in extensive detail. He started by breaking down the most relevant steps, then explained the timeline and key players involved. He answered any questions I had and provided additional resources to ensure I understood the process. At the end of our conversation, I felt confident in my understanding of the process and the timeline for the job.

I've never given anyone a blowjob before, other than my cousin, who forced his penis down my throat. My uncle threatened to hit me if I refused. I'm relieved that Cheng explained the situation to me, and I can earn some extra money too. It's imperative for me to know what I'm getting into so I don't make a fool of myself when dealing with a customer. I'm really grateful for the opportunity to make extra cash.

I couldn't believe it! My mood had changed so quickly, and I was feeling ecstatic. I smiled the whole night at work, and it felt so pleasant to be in such a good mood. I felt so positive and in control, and I was even more productive than usual. Everyone around me noticed the change in my attitude and mood, and it was so pleasant to hear their compliments. I knew my mood wouldn't last once I got home, but I was so happy to enjoy that moment. It was a great night, and I'm so glad I experienced such a positive change in my mood.

When I closed around 4 a.m., I walked to the VIP lounge to meet Cheng. He had promised to show me some videos, and I was eager to learn. As soon as I arrived, Cheng pulled out his laptop and began playing the videos. I was captivated from the start. He explained each video in detail, and I eagerly took notes as I watched. After a few hours, I learned a lot. I thanked Cheng for his time and effort before returning home.

I opened the door to the house at 6 a.m. and went to the kitchen, expecting dirty dishes in the sink, but there was nothing. I just shrugged it off and walked straight to my bedroom, not minding the cold hardwood floors beneath my feet. I lay down on my sleeping mat and closed my eyes, knowing it was only a matter of time before I'd have to leave this place.

A bucket of cold water jolted me out of my sleep. There she was—my aunt, glaring down at me with pure venom. I have never heard her sound so angry before, and I felt completely taken aback. I am still trying to process what happened when she shouted at me. Her voice is filled with rage and disappointment. I can't believe how quickly my peaceful sleep is interrupted by this sudden outburst. I have no idea what I have done to make her so mad.

She walks out of my room, and I follow her into the kitchen. She is clearly upset with me and told me that I embarrassed her son in front of his friends. She also told me that I didn't cook dinner and they had to eat out last night. I immediately apologized to her and promised not to do it again. I assured her that I would do whatever I could to make it up to her son. I will never make the same mistake twice. Taking a seat on the chair, she nods. My heart swells with relief because I didn't want to get beat today.

Your manager called to inform me that you had been promoted to work in the VIP lounge. He also informed me of an increased salary. Who knew the worthless bastard would be so good at cooking and making cocktails that he would be promoted to work in the VIP lounge with an increased salary? Uncle Hao said as he entered the kitchen.

"Who would have thought?" Aunt Ru says mockingly as Uncle Hao sits beside her. But I didn't miss the slight smile on his stupid face. That is the moment I knew he was genuinely happy, despite his sarcastic comments.

Mao punches my jaw as he enters the kitchen, making me yelp in pain before sitting in his chair. It had been a long time since I had taken a punch, but I was used to the aftermath of wipes.

Despite the pain I feel, I made breakfast as quickly as possible, and I am lucky they left some leftovers behind before leaving. I am grateful for the food, and I quickly eat the leftovers before working.

Once I was done with breakfast, I cleaned the kitchen, washed the dishes, wiped the counters, and swept the floor. I was careful to ensure everything was spotless before finishing.

After the kitchen is clean, I finally have some time to rest. I mopped the water off my room's floor. I dried my sleeping mat. I then spread an old, worn-out duvet on the floor and curled up in its warmth. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep, relieved to have a few hours of rest before starting my day.
