"Get lost! Who do you think you are, coming here?" he barked.
I cleared my throat and adjusted my hood. "Could you please ask your master to come out? I have a business proposal for her."
I was invited inside, and to my surprise, it was easier than I had anticipated. The madam greeted me with a beaming smile.
I laid out my entire plan, and she burst into laughter. "You're quite clever! I've never heard of such a scheme before."
I tugged at my dress, trying to exude an air of sophistication.
"But we're not cheap when it comes to pricing. This requires hard work."
She covered her mouth, giggling.
I couldn't help but feel pleased; no wonder men are willing to spend money here.
I signaled for Megan to bring out the money, and when she saw the stack, the madam's demeanor shifted. "This looks promising. Let's seal the deal today."
Just as she finished speaking, the door swung open with a bang, and a group of soldiers stormed in, swords drawn.
My heart raced as I ducked behind a pillar.
What kind of trouble is brewing in this place?
To escape unnoticed, I peeked out from behind the column, and my heart sank.
Walking in was none other than Gabriel.
Oh great, this can't possibly be my fault, right?
