Paige's POV
_R18_
Chewing pensively on my perfectly manicured nails, I kept pacing up and down. I peered at my phone, almost slamming it on the wall. It's been almost an hour since she said she'll be back!
Beads of sweats coated my foreheads, the fast clicking of my red platform pump shoes filled the whole room. I ran my hand through my kinky straight hair, eyebrows knitted into a deep frown.
Actually, I'm waiting for Layla Finch, the owner of Layla's clubhouse, she told me she would be here before ten pm but I haven't even seen her shadow!
Layla actually travelled to Singapore, but she ought to be here by now, there are patrons waiting for her.
Patrons are the people who visit the casino, but to the best of my knowledge, the patrons here are Layla's VIP's. They are not ordinary people, only Layla attends to them. The waitresses that attend to these people are special, beautiful, enchanting ladies, they earn the most in the bar. They come to work once in a while because these VIP's are great business men, who are busy people.
Right now, the patrons are asking to see Layla, but the frustrating part is that she told me to keep them waiting!
It's not that I can't attend to them; for the past one month I've been here, I, Paige Lee have become Layla's best friend. I don't even know how we became friends, we just clicked! She taught me a lot!
Art of seduction---Its at my feet!
I know I'm a genius, but it's quite unbelievable how I quickly learned it.
Though I've never put it to practice.
My phone blared startling me, it's Layla.
I swiped the answer icon feeling an unsettling knot inside of me.
"Layla!"
"Paige, my flight was delayed, have you attended to them?" Her sweet sonorous voice sounded, "Layla! They are your clients and you know that's not why I was sent here!" I said frustratingly.
"I'm sorry Paige, can you just help me today? You'll be returning to the D'connell's mansion tomorrow and I'll miss you" Layla begged softly. I released a quick, shallow breath before saying, "I'll try my best but you owe me one".
Her laughter reverberated through the phone making me roll my eyes, "when did ya become like Darren?"
I hissed before spatting, "get outta here!" I hung up on her and squeezed my eyes shut.
"I can do this... I am capable... I've got this!" I mumbled repeatedly before walking out of the dark room.
____
I walked into the room gracefully and unhurriedly, swinging my hips slowly.
Heading towards the direction of the patrons, I winked at the casino manager, who gave me a nod in return.
My eyes spotted four heads, three males and a female, which placed a question mark in my head. My heart raced as I inched towards their direction, shoulder tensed, my steps were heavy.
"Hello"
Four pairs of eyes were stuck on me immediately, two young handsome men in their thirties, a middle aged man and then--!
Holy Fuck!
Nope! This can't be real!
My face was ashen, as I was shocked to the bones!
I'm fucking dreaming! Can someone please tell me it's my imagination!
How--can--my--sister--be--here?!
Paula Lee!
She had a smile on her face as she saw me, but she didn't utter a word, eyes trailed on the dealer.
"Look who we have here~"
One of the men sang before bursting into laughter.
I shifted my attention from Paula Lee immediately, "I hope you're enjoying yourselves, your needs are being catered to right?" I swallowed the big lumps in my throat as I said.
The four waitresses were up and doing, serving them, massaging their shoulders, busy doing what sex workers would do wearing a smile on.
Silently in my mind, I hoped I wouldn't engage in what they were doing tonight... I felt ashamed... But their next words washed my hopes down the drain.
"Actually, a need just arose right now"
"A desperate need and hunger for something so beautiful like you~" the robotic voice said, eyes raking over my body.
I wasn't shocked, I'm representing Layla right now, so I might as well do what she would have done. The art of seduction must be put into use today!
"Really?" I smiled back at the dirty perverts, and sat beside one of the young men who had a Mohican cut. My sister gave me a look I couldn't fathom, she still wasn't saying anything to me. Paula was so occupied with gambling, I didn't know that she's involved in shady things like this.
A sneaky hand landed on my shoulder, making my stomach recoil in disgust, I had a shimmery black body-con on, that reveals a lot of cleavage and a lot of leg.
"Serve me that drink" he pointed to an alcohol on the table, I poured the blue liquid into the wine glass with a trembling hand and gave it to him. The man laughed out after doing his gambling nonsense with the dealer, "you have to move closer and give me a sip~" he rambled.
I almost kicked his balls!
I'm not a bartender nor am I a prostitute!
I wanted to yell!
I tried maintaining a smile on my face as I moved closer to him, my dress pulling up in the process, revealing more of my thighs.
"I won!" The middle aged man hooted in victory, "we're going again" the Mohican head and my sister said sternly, she wasn't even bothered that I was right there. "Give this ladies some attention mehn!" The second guy exclaimed. One of the waitresses had climbed on top of him, the man grabbing her ass, fondling and moaning into her mouth as they kissed.
I almost gagged, but I bit my lips hard, "you're turned on by what they're doing right?" Mohican's rotten voice whispered into my ear, it was as if ants were crawling on my body.
My body shuddered immediately his hand landed on my waist, but I was still.
I held his hand like a pro, "I want to do more than that with you" I whispered back to him, looking up at him with half lidded eyes.
He moaned his face contorting.
What a perv!
The Mohican head wasn't concentrating on gambling again, he grabbed my waist, wanting to place me on his thighs but I pushed him back. "Patience..." I tried smiling like I was okay, my hands on his chest. I swirl a finger on his chest sexily, licking my lips. He licked his lips too, hands on my thighs, slowly inching up.
I wanted to run but I couldn't, there was nowhere to go, and I couldn't disappoint Layla's clients.
Will I get defiled tonight? By someone I don't even know?
I heard a loud moan by my side, the middle aged man had his little member being stroked by the waitresses, making my head spin. My sister was even staring at them and touching herself! Was my father aware of this?
I was suddenly engulfed in fear immediately I felt wet lips latched on my neck!
No!
"Wait..."
My head was blank now, I just wanted to flee! The Mohican head grabbed my hand, almost putting it into his trousers!
NOOO!
I can't do this!
I resisted immediately, my eyes glossy with tears, someone please save me!
As if the creator heard my plea, the door of the room suddenly flew open making everyone stop what they were doing.
"How dare you barge in?"
Mohican head shouted in rage, grabbing a bottle of liquor, he was ready to smash it on the person's head.
But--
Men dressed in all black suits marched in, filing into two single lines, creating a way between them.
A familiar figure emerged from the door, gaze fixed ahead, face like fire, striding towards Mohican head, landing a heavy punch on his head!
