Veronica widened her eyes and used what she thought were harsh words to scold the street woman, but to Jessica's ears, these powerless words sounded less like a reprimand and more like a wail.
She didn't even pause her action of lighting the cigarette.
Seeing that Jessica completely ignored her, she made no further moves, merely letting out a frustrated huff and clenching the corner of her clothes without speaking.
Jessica clearly saw that the other party's eyes were already moist.
"Tch..."
Holding the cigarette in her mouth, letting the smoke drift, Jessica now felt that her previous words had been a bit too harsh.
But Jessica didn't think she was wrong.
Physical pleasure is a precious gift bestowed upon humanity by God.
For Jessica, this philosophy was a form of belief, and even a part of life.
That's why she felt disgusted seeing Veronica's expression, as if she were being forced.
"If you don't want to, you don't have to do this."
Driven by the subconscious aggression of a street person, Jessica had originally intended to say something harsher, but when the words reached her lips, seeing Veronica hugging herself and sobbing helplessly, she softened.
Beautiful women always receive preferential treatment.
So she chose words that were less aggressive.
But upon hearing Jessica's words, Veronica desperately suppressed her body's trembling and let out a cold laugh.
What would this kind of street woman understand?
She didn't speak, but the expression on her face was self-evident.
Tsk... Jessica bared her teeth, feeling slightly tired of this woman.
Crying and sniveling, twisted up like this, yet still looking down on people.
Does she think she's a superstar?
"I won't screw a piece of wood with no emotion. If that's what you're worried about, you can relax."
"Anyway, it's only a thousand in wages. Who the hell cares?"
"Worst comes to worst, I'll just quit."
A thousand? Wasn't it fifty thousand?
Veronica inadvertently caught this detail, but then she remembered her identity and smiled with a mix of relief and mockery.
Heh heh, it seems her former celebrity status is still somewhat useful.
Even selling her body costs much more than others.
But then, Veronica was forced to think about the money again.
That's right, the money.
Even if she was unwilling, she had to get this money.
She couldn't let this street woman quit.
Thinking of this, Veronica felt even more pathetic and disgusting.
Although she was clearly unwilling, she now had to actively beg this blonde woman to touch her.
Just for the money... "I'm going downstairs to the bar for a couple of drinks."
This was hours later. Jessica finally realized that sitting in the room with this wooden Girl made her look like an idiot.
She stood in front of the door and said this to Veronica.
Seeing the other party look at her, Jessica explained impatiently.
"It's not that I want to beg you. The contract requires us to act together. Of course, if you decide to quit, I don't care."
This deal was probably going to fall through, Jessica thought to herself.
After all, with the Girl in front of her acting like this, she couldn't get interested at all.
Besides, the other party might not even agree.
However, much to Jessica's surprise, Veronica stood up.
Under Jessica's slightly surprised gaze, Veronica lowered her head in shame.
She needed this money.
She really needed it.
Seeing Veronica walk up beside her, Jessica shrugged, opened the door, and walked out... The bar was bright with windows and doors, letting the dazzling sunlight stream in.
