Darcy woke up to her phone ringing loudly in her ear. She rolled over and picked up ignoring the caller ID.
"Hello" she said groggy.
"Morning Ellis" Chuck's voice said through the phone
"Bass, why in the hell are you calling me this morning?"
"I'm gonna text you an address can you meet me there?"
"I don't like how that sounds."
"I need your opinion"
"Fine let me shower first"
"No need, I'm sure you look good however you come"
"You're a pig" she said and hung up. She quickly showered and got in her uniform and headed to the address Chuck had texted her. She walked into the building. She really liked it. Her secret fascination was old style buildings. She found Chuck leaning on a bar.
"You made it"
"Why am I here?" she asked.
"I need you honest opinion"
"Well that's my opinion always"
"I know which is why I called 2 of my worst critics"
"Behind my father but yes."
"So what is this place" Darcy asked looking around. She ran her hand along the bar
"Something I want to invest in. I have a meeting with my father about it."
"You want your dad to invest in a strip joint" Blair said. Darcy stopped walking and turned to the girl.
"How midtown, a Burlesque club. A respectable place where people can be transported to another time, where they can feel free to let loose no judgement pure escape. What happened at Victrola stays at Victrola." Chuck replied.
"Well it does have franchise potential" Blair said. "Chuck Bass I do believe all your years of underage boozing has truly paid off. I am proud."
"Well you are my toughest critic, well second." Chuck said then turned to Darcy "Ellis?"
"I'm with Blair." She said. She did have opinions about it but not with Blair standing there.
"So do you think your father will go for it" Blair asked.
"It is exactly the kind of innovative thing upon which the Bass Empire was built. It's the perfect thing. I have been waiting for this".
"Well were late" Blair said checking her watch and turning to leave "You coming?"
"I gotta pitch it to Bart. Victory Party here tomorrow"
"I wouldn't miss it" Blair said then left.
Chuck turned to Darcy who was still looking around. She thought this place was amazing.
"So?" Chuck asked Darcy
"What?" she asked turning her attention to him.
"Ellis?"
"I like it. Burlesque is antique and dates back as far as the 16th century, adding stripteases in the 1920s. Everything about it is fascinating."
"A girl who knows her Burlesque"
"I feel like I have entered this time machine." She said. "Everything is so vintage"
"So you really like it?"
"Yes Bass, this place is amazing." She said
"Thanks"
"Good Luck" she said and surprising both herself and Chuck she kissed his cheek and skipped out.
