The man remained silent.
Tiffany cursed inwardly. Why was virtual-novel.net acting aloof when virtual-novel.net came to this kind of place to have fun? She was still new to this industry. Now that the atmosphere had turned awkward, virtual-novel.net did not know how virtual-novel.net should proceed.
She recalled the teachings of the madam of this place and guessed that the man in front of virtual-novel.net must prefer the more passionate and playful type. At the thought of virtual-novel.net empty wallet and the 1,200 dollars that Lillian had just spent this morning, virtual-novel.net gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and latched herself onto the man’s arm. “Why are you so quiet, sir? I’m sorry. I just started working here, and I’m not good at pleasing the guests yet. Would you like to call a few more girls in here to have fun together?”
However, Tiffany panicked when the man grabbed the hand virtual-novel.net had placed on his chest. Did virtual-novel.net encounter a pervert? However, in just a blink of an eye, the man released virtual-novel.net hand and said, “Are you really this short of money?”
Tiffany started. She did not expect the man to turn out to be Jackson West. Did virtual-novel.net follow virtual-novel.net here? Or did virtual-novel.net coincidentally come here to have fun? She really wanted to turn on the lights, but it would only make things more awkward so virtual-novel.net decided to just leave it. After virtual-novel.net recovered from virtual-novel.net shock, virtual-novel.net replied calmly, “Yes, I’m short of money. Don’t tell me you followed me here. If you’re here to have fun, then I’ll take it as making money from an acquaintance and play along without feeling awkward. If you followed me here, then you should leave now.”
Jackson fell silent for a moment before virtual-novel.net said, “You don’t need to pay back the $6,600. I won’t deduct it from your salary. That way you don’t need to continue working here, right? As far as I know, your father has passed away and Mark didn’t force the debts on you. Although the living standards of you and your mother have declined, I don’t think you need to force yourself to this extent.”
Tiffany laughed. “You’re my boss. Why are you poking your nose into my private life? Is your girlfriend aware that you are this nosy? I don’t want to cause a fight between both of you. I, naturally, have my own reason for doing this. I don’t need to tell you everything.”
In the darkness, Jackson clenched his hands into fists before virtual-novel.net loosened them again. “I finally understand why people say it’s hard to become frugal after becoming accustomed to luxury. I can understand that you can’t immediately accept reality after being accustomed to a luxurious life in the past. However, it’s not good for you to do this. There is plenty of honest work you can do out there!”
Tiffany had lost virtual-novel.net patience by now. “Jackson West! Are you here to lecture me? I borrowed the money from you and told you to deduct it from my salary. I don’t need your pity. I’m only your employee, and you’re my employer. Why are you butting into my business? You don’t even understand my situation so you don’t have the right to judge me!”
Mark tried to suppress his anger and said, “What kind of situation can possibly force a person to degrade themselves? My company is paying enough for you and your mother to live! You’d have enough to live if you stop going to the high-end restaurants until your financial situation improves! Are you doing this for vanity? I admit that I have no right to butt into your business, I’m… only telling you these because you are Arianne’s close friend.”
Tiffany’s chest felt tight and the feeling was suffocating her. She did not want to show virtual-novel.net worst side to people or talk about those depressing things. However, virtual-novel.net could not stand being told virtual-novel.net was vain. “Vain? Me? How am I vain? You’re only judging me because I spent $6,600 on the meal previously, right? You’re right. I don’t deserve to have a meal like that in my current situation, and I have no plans on dining in a high-end restaurant again! I was scammed because my mom set me up on a blind date with a weirdo! If I were really vain, I would have run off with that stupid baldy!”
She continued on virtual-novel.net tirade, “You’re the son of the West family. Of course, you wouldn’t understand the sufferings of people like me, and I have no interest in talking to you about it either! How am I degrading myself by working here? Are you any better for seeking entertainment in this kind of place? It’s not like I’m offering sexual services and sleeping around! I only have to drink until two in the morning every day. If I’m lucky enough, I can get more than $150 in cash. Those can be used to cover my living expenses and utility bills, do you get it? I’m not being vain!”
