Carnation's POV"Hi," Wregan greeted me with a little smile. My grip on the glass of water tightened. "I'm glad that you finally gave up hiding from me." If only I had the strength to be like Captain America I might have broken the glass in my hand with my grip on it so tightly. The thickness of his face, he has the guts to tell me that even though it all started with him."I'm not hiding from you, it's just that my stomach can't handle watching your cheating face in front me," I calmly yet firmly said. I glared back at him. I won't let myself lose to him this time, even though it hurts, I won't let him see my vulnerable state right in front of him. His jaw clenched. "Will you believe me if I'll tell you that nothing happened between me and Kar–""Don't even mention that b*tch's name." His gaze on me sharpened. Seems like he didn't like what I just called the woman he loves. The fuck, it's because of these bastards thag swearing became my hobby. "Nothing happened," he insisted bu
"I thought you're the one who's gonna pick me up?" Wregan sensed that his girlfriend was sulking. He secretly smiled but immediately wiped it out of his lips. "Yeah, I'm sorry. I think I won't be able to finish this immediately. I'll just see you in the house.""Okay.. I understand." Carnation sweetly said but he's sure that his girlfriend is already in a sour mood. Damn, he needs to make it up to her later. "Okay. I'll see you later.""Bye–" he immediately ended the call when he saw Kara with a sales lady. "Here, this is the only thing I saw that can fit her. The stones of the other rings are too AO." The lady presented a beautiful ring in front of him. "I like it. Simple yet perfectly beautiful." He commented that it made his best friend smile. "Just like her, right? That's how detailed you describe her to me.""Yeah.. Just like her." There was a smile on his lips when he answered. "I'm so excited to meet her in person." Kara smiled as she said that. Tonight, Wregan is plannin
Carnation inhaled deeply and swallowed forcefully when she noticed the document on the table. With a quivering hand, she accepted the paper and pen Mist offered."Are you sure you want to do this?" Mist inquired. Carnation bit her bottom lip and looked down at the papers she was holding. "Once you sign the contract, you can't back out." She remained silent, so Mist spoke up again, "think about it twice."Carnation breathed deeply with a loud sigh. She didn't want to do this job, but she didn't have any other choice. Her earnings aren't enough to pay for her father's medical bills, repaying their debt, and family support."It's still possible to quit," Mist suggested.She shook her head repeatedly. "No. . . I've made up my mind.""You're pretty desperate, aren't you?"When Carnation's father was diagnosed with lymphoma and required long-term treatment, she was devastated. Their family's small business failed, and they were in great debt. In o
"This is not enough," Leonora expressed her dissatisfaction showing the Five Thousand Pesos to Carnatio. She couldn't look her stepmother in the eyes, she was very ashamed. Even if she wanted to give more, she didn't have anything to give."Tita, I have nothing left. That's all I get from working part-time at the convenience store and the gas station.""I know you're doing everything you can to make us money, but it isn't enough. Five thousand pesos was not enough for your daddy's medicine alone."Carnation remained silent and crouched over her head. She couldn't reason out. Leonora was right in all she said. But does she even have a choice? Even if she wants to get full-time work with a high salary, she cannot do so due to her lack of experience and education."By the way," Leonora said hesitantly, "Galel came by earlier and asked when we were going to pay him." Galel Vegas is her father's business partne
All the employees greeted Luca with a, "good afternoon, Mr. Lust." As he passed by. He didn't bother to say anything to them, he just nodded and left."Barnald, what's the update on our recruitment?" Luca inquired to his 43-year-old assistant. They are now heading to his office on the 3rd floor of Casa de Lujuria."We've got two applicants, sir," Barnald politely informed him. "They will be put through a physical test this coming weekend"."A minimum of three applicants can be taken for the physical test, right?" a frown appeared on Luka's face as he asked."Yes, sir.""Then do not conduct a physical test with only two candidates. It's a waste of time!""I'll look for a third applicant, sir," Barnald assured. Luca nodded to his assistant and led the way out of the elevator.Luca owns Casa de Lujuria, an exclusive nightclub inside the Seven Sins Luxury Hote
Carnation scanned the invitation card, which was black with a gold leaf design on the right side. The name of the nightclub is written in large letters on the front, and a quote is written in smaller letters below. 'A place where your hidden desire unleash, like pleasure in paradise' "We're here," the driver announces. Carnation peered out the car window. "We've arrived. . . I didn't notice. Thank you so much for the free ride, sir." "No problem. I'm delighted to help you. Let's just meet again when you've decided to take the job I'm offering." She gave him a friendly smile. "Give me a moment to think about it, sir." "Of course, dear." Carnation got out of the car, clutching her bag. She waved to Mr. Lust as she walked into the hospital's main entrance. The rain had stopped, and the sky was dark blue, indicating t
Before entering the Seven Sins Luxurious Hotel, Carnation took a deep breath. She has come to accept Mr. Lust's job offer. "Good afternoon," she said as she greeted the receptionist. "Good afternoon, Ma'am, how may I assist you?" asked the receptionist. "Ah, how do I get to Casa de Lujuria?" The hotel is enormous, and she doubts she will be able to locate the facility on her own right away. She must speak with Mr. Lust as soon as possible. "Ma'am, do you have an invitation pass?" "Oh, yes! Here." Carnation presented the invitation card she was holding. The receptionist smiled at her and excused herself, saying she would just call on the service phone. The receptionist then made her sit in the lounge area, telling her that someone would pick her up in the lobby. A beautiful and tall woman approached Carnation a moment later, and she immediately stood up.
"Welcome to Casa de Lujuria — a place where your hidden desire is unleashed, like a pleasure in paradise," Mist said with a smile on her face.Carnation dashed to the end of the platform, grabbed the railings, and gazed around the massive hall in excitement. This was most likely the largest hall she had ever seen! She did not even consider Casa de Lujuria to be this huge. She peered beneath the platform and noticed the LED DJ booth between the twin grand staircases; the color of the DJ booth alternates between pink, light blue, and black. A rectangular stage with two circular stages glued on both sides of the rectangular stage can be found at the far end of the hall. There are poles in the middle of the round stages, and white lounges and lumen LED tables are found near the stage."Obviously... That's the stage," Mist said, pointing to the stage's location. "The lounges found below are specified for the regu
