CHAPTER 698

Whitney visited various counters and browsed through all the options.

While the cheaper watches ranged from a few thousand to ten thousand, the expensive ones cost hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Seeing that, Whitney quietly tapped on her phone and searched for relevant information about Charles on the internet.

As a wealthy and handsome entrepreneur, there were news articles about him on the internet naturally.

After finding the official website of Newton Group, she searched for the formal attire picture of the CEO and paid close attention to the watch on Charles’ wrist.

It seemed to be a diamond-studded watch. Although she couldn’t see the details of the dial clearly, it should be made of precious materials and have a high value as well.

It was probably worth millions.

If I buy a watch worth merely a few thousand, will it seem too casual and cheap for him?

However, the thought of buying a watch worth millions was unbearable to her.

Soon, she gave up on buying a watch.

Next, she browsed through the wallets and colognes…

After browsing for nearly half an hour, Whitney finally settled on a men’s cologne of a high-end brand called JG, which was priced at fifty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.

She counted carefully in her mind. Sixty thousand.

Unlike the ridiculously expensive watches, Charles didn’t seem to be wearing cologne when they met at noon today.

Buying a cologne as a gift for him would be just right.

Whitney stared at the cologne for a long time, and after receiving several disdainful glances from the salesperson, she tried the cologne’s top, middle, and base notes, respectively.

Overall, the cologne had a light and elegant fragrance, which exuded a sense of nobility.

As she savored the fragrance, the salesperson gently advised her, “Miss, if you’re not going to buy it, please stop testing it. This is the most popular cologne of the season, and we only have one bottle left in stock. Once it’s sold, it may take several months before we restock.”

Whitney became even more determined to buy this cologne. “Then please keep the last bottle for me. I will definitely come to buy it tonight, and if not tonight, I’ll come latest at tomorrow morning. I will come and buy it!”

The salesperson nodded in response to her sincere words. “All right, I’ll keep it for you until tomorrow morning. I hope you keep your word.”

“I will. Thank you very much!”

After leaving JG, Whitney took out her phone and checked her meager bank savings.

She had roughly twenty thousand, but after paying the next quarter’s rent, she would have to start from scratch again…

However, even though she could postpone paying her rent for now, she still needed a lot more money to buy that bottle of cologne.

Then, Whitney remembered the card Jessamyn gave her at noon.

After taking out the card from her pocket, she dialed the contact number of the manager written on it.

“Hello, I would like to work as a temporary staff at your bar tonight.”

After the manager asked how she got his number, Whitney replied, “No, I was referred by Ms. Jessamyn. She asked me to make this call.”

“Yes, I believe it’s that Ms. Jessamyn. Do I need to arrive at your place before nine o’clock?”

Whitney glanced at the time displayed on her phone. It was already half past eight, which meant that she had just half an hour left.

“Okay, I’ll be right over.”

After hanging up the phone, she headed to Seduction Bar according to the address on the card.

Inside the bar, the DJ was blasting music so loud that it made Whitney’s heart thump along with the beats.

The atmosphere was voluptuous.

Whitney didn’t particularly enjoy that kind of environment, but she followed the manager closely and headed inside.

The manager said, “Everyone calls me Leo. You can call me that too.”

Whitney shrugged her shoulders, clasped her hands together, and politely greeted, “Hello, Leo.”

“Well, actually, we don’t really need anyone here, but since Ms. Cloud is a VIP customer here and she recommended you, I’ll have to let you in no matter what.”

With the booming music playing in the background, Whitney felt slightly awkward.

She gave a slight bow. “Thank you, Leo.”

As Leo led the way, he occasionally glanced at her figure and appearance. “Your face looks quite innocent, like a foreign doll with exotic charm. You will be popular among the clients. However, your outfit is too ugly.”

Whitney lowered her head and looked at her attire. She was wearing jeans paired with a white t-shirt, which was clean and simple. It seemed fine enough to her.

However, when she looked at the pretty ladies around her, she noticed that they were all wearing either mini-skirts or shorts with high heels and black stockings. They were all in low V-necks or outfits that exposed their shoulder and backs.

Each of them was graceful, alluring, and charming.

Whitney realized that her outfit made her look like an inexperienced newcomer in the realm of enchantresses. “If there’s no hurry, can I go back and change?”

Jessamyn had specifically informed Leo that Whitney would be coming. There was no way he would let her leave easily.

“No need for that. Just stick with this outfit. Perhaps some of the clients here are tired of the dazzling and eye-catching ladies, and they prefer the elegance and purity that you display. Who can say for sure?”

Whitney found his words rather odd but didn’t think too much about it. “Thank you then, Leo.”

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Leo smiled lightly. “You’re welcome.”

After walking through a corridor, Leo led her up the stairs until they reached the door of a luxurious private room in the innermost part of the hallway.

Along the way, Leo instructed her on what to do later. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Remember, put the customers’ needs first. Your task is to ensure they have a great time. Singing, dancing, drinking, and playing dice, whatever you can do, make the customers happy. The tips they give in the private room, regardless of the amount, are all yours. Your shift ends at two in the morning, and by then, you’ll receive your basic pay for this temporary job.”

“Okay.” Whitney nodded. It sounded just like how Jessamyn had described. It was normal, and there shouldn’t be any issues.

She could sing and dance, and her alcohol tolerance was not bad. As for the dice game, she could learn how to play it afterward.

Holding onto the door handle, Leo reminded Whitney again before opening the door, “Remember, you came here voluntarily. If you can’t fulfill the tasks and offend the big shots in the private room, your actions have nothing to do with Seduction Bar. Anyway, just do as they say, understood?”

Whitney nodded. “Understood.”

As the soundproof door to the private room opened slowly, intense and lively DJ music could be heard.

The private room was dimly lit, with occasional spotlights flashing. Whitney glanced from afar and saw about five or six people sitting on the sofa.

As the strong smell of alcohol filled her nose, she could hear the constant banter in the room.

Whitney hesitated at the door and didn’t go in.

After waiting for a while, Leo was afraid she would change her mind, so he pushed her from behind and sent her into the private room. Then, he closed the door behind her quickly.

“If you’re going to hesitate, then don’t come. What’s with the pretense?” he muttered unhappily as he walked to a quieter spot to call Jessamyn and report to her.

“Ms. Cloud, it’s all taken care of. The person has been sent in.”

“Well done.”

According to the prearranged agreement, Jessamyn quickly transferred money to Leo. Then, she called Charles.

However, she heard the familiar and gentle customer service voice, which notified her that Charles was busy and couldn’t answer the call.

Jessamyn became furious.

Has Charles actually blocked my number?

“I can’t believe it. How can you reject me, the highly educated and wealthy heiress of the Cloud family, and get engaged to a woman who is poor and lowly?”

Then, she quickly switched to another number and sent a direct message to Charles…
