Unrequited Passion

Chapter 15 What Is Your Relationship With The Ledger Family?

Emporio Club at night was still singing and dancing.

Compared to the old days, Astrid learned a lot and knew to minimize her emotion. She was still good at dealing with those rich guys. She did not let them take any advantage and also did not let them be embarrassed.

Her boss had always appreciated her.

The door of the top floor office was knocked. Astrid walked in and called out respectfully, "Mr. Francis, what can I do for you?"

"Raven, sit down." The man called Mr. Francis was an older man in his fifties. Many nightclubs in Cloud Coast were owned by him. His power in Cloud Coast was not to be underestimated, and everyone respected him. Everyone called him Mr. Francis.

Astrid nodded at his words and sat down on the sofa. She remembered that today was the day of payment, but it was always the finance department's business.

How could it be the boss himself to pay her?

She was undisturbed on the surface. But in fact, she was already petrified.

After all, Blake had already found her, and if he asked, she was afraid she would not be able to stay here. If that was the case, then what should she do?

Carrie's illness still needed money, a large sum of money. Now she could not earn money if she went elsewhere because she was almost disabled!

"Mr. Umber's things have been resolved?" Mr. Francis looked at Astrid and asked indifferently.

"Yes. Mr. Francis, don't worry. I won't give you any more trouble!" Astrid replied calmly.

Mr. Francis nodded, and he didn't say anymore. He took out an envelope from the drawer and threw it to Astrid, "The money you deserve this month."

"Thank you, Mr. Francis!" Astrid took the money and got up to leave.

But then Mr. Francis said, "Raven, you are beautiful, but you are too conservative, so your income is also limited! Since you have chosen Emporio Club, you are already a woman in the prostitutes' quarter. You can't change other people's opinions even if you are noble!"

Mr. Francis' gaze wandered over Astrid's body without concealment.

Although she only wore a simple cheongsam with a high fork, she was charming, unlike other women of the Emporio Club. Astrid still had pride in her bones.

Astrid understood what Mr. Francis' words meant.

The showgirls who resided here almost always accompanied the clients as long as the clients could afford the price.

Looking at her indifferent look, Mr. Francis added, "I heard Sammy say that you have a sick child. You should plan for your child even if you don't plan for yourself. It is not useful in insisting on meaninglessness!"

After hearing these words, Astrid smiled and bent over respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Francis. It is fine. If there's nothing else, I'll prepare for the stage first!"

Then she turned around and went out, but Mr. Francis interrupted her again, "What is your relationship with the Bronzewood’s Ledger family?"

Astrid could not help but be stunned by these words, and her face turned pale.

Did Blake take some action?

No, it should not. Mr. Francis should test me. If Blake took some action, Mr. Francis would ask her directly to leave when she came in.

Astrid smiled as she steadied herself, "Mr. Francis is worrying too much. I am just a lowly songstress. How can I have a relationship with the Bronzewood’s Ledger family!"

Seeing that, Mr. Francis didn't say anything more. Astrid bowed again, turned around, and left.
