He had the option of renting a private room and asking the establishment's management to round up hundreds of women for him, but he had tried this strategy in the past and found that it was a poor choice. He never had any relief from the exhaustion he was experiencing as a result of this, not even the slightest.

She activated the lights in the kitchen and got some water boiling for herself in order to have some tea prepared for consumption. She proceeded to walk a few more steps before finally sitting down and taking a number of long, deep breaths. After a tiring day, she was about to settle down for the evening on her couch when she felt a vibration coming from her phone.
