House of Pleasures

Chapter 15

***

Alex left Lilian sleeping on his bed, while he had some business to attend. Chef was here again.

-So, what do you want me to do?

-Previous time, after the explosion everybody find out about your house, now, no one has a clue, so it might be the right time to open the house of pleasures again.

-Why?

-It was good money, besides, there are a few girls looking for a job...

-From the old ones?

-Yeah, most of them are the same girls that were there, that weren't working at the house when the explosion happened.

-And where do you want this house to be?

-Here. In this club! You own this place and you own house on the left, right?

-And when are we opening it?

-I think of next week, maybe?

-How many rooms?

Alex was writing down every single statement, what Chef mentioned. He had done business with him while his father was still alive, and they became good friends after as well.

-Is that Lexy?- Chef pointed at the screen.

-No. That is my girlfriend.

-I didn't know you do girlfriends...?

-Well, i did know.

-One more thing, before i leave,- Chef took out a peace of paper,- here. Take a good look.

-Where did you get this?

-I am sorry about it. But i had to keep it a secret.

After the meeting, Alex left to hospital. He needed to see her, so he reached out to a person, who could help him.

-I don't get it, how did you get my number!?

-It was like a childs play, i do have pretty awesome connections...

Agnes stood in the doorway taking out a cigarette.

-I didn't know you smoke.

-I didn't know you were a stalker kind.

-Look, im sorry, but you are the only one, i knew i can trust!

-You sure about that?

-Yeah. I am. Why else would you keep Lexy between you and Lilian then, huh?

-You are right about that one, but, i mean, a favor for a favor right?

Alex changed his face expression from help-me, to what-do-you-want kinda look.

-So, tell me, what is that you want from me?

-Can i think about it?

-If that is money, no more than ten grand.

Agnes had like a fantasy of her chillin at the swimming pool, enjoying a drink, while she was surrounded by very attractive men.

-Lilian was right, when she said that you care about her, and i can clearly see you do. But what are your plans for Lilian? She is my best friend, and they call me a girl with some ballz.

-Do not worry, i have no bad intentions, when it comes to her.

-You like her? Or did you slept with her just for fun?- Agnes breathed in the ciggy and made it clear that she knows all.

-How did you know we slept...? Ok, never mind. I care about her.

-And?

-Do you want me to be her boyfriend? Cause i don't really do that.

-But you could try?

-I could. Just for her.

-Let's go then. While keep Lexy waiting,- she pushed the door open, and stepped in, going first one.- you will need this.

Agnes handed him a white smock. In a matter of seconds Alex was dressed like a doctor. Very handsome, to be honest,  and there was no way to see his metal arm as well.

-Lilian told me about your arm. Can i see it?

-After, maybe.

-Say yes, or you're going home.

-Fine.

They took the lift, and Agnes carefully closed every door behind them. At least the floor was almost empty, and there were just a few nurses passing by.

She opened the door and let Alex in, closing the door and sitting back on a chair behind her.

"This will be a long one," Agnes said to herself and took out her mobile phone.

-Who are you?- Lexy asked, as Alex came closer to her.- another doctor?

-No, not a doctor,- he said and she sat back looking directly at him.

-That's you? Alex?- her breathing was faster, even Alex saw it.

-Yes. It's me. How are you feeling?

-Bad. Do i look fine to you?

-You look as usual, i would say,- he faked a smile.

-Why are you here?

-I wanted to see you.

-I guess, you can go now. You have seen me...

-I need you to tell me everything. Starting from the begining.

-Why would i?

-That's the problem, you wouldn't, and that is why i am here. You never trusted me, but, every one will want to know what happened to you, after your recovery, and i need to know that i will be safe after you come out of here.

-They already know i was a slut, so why hide it?

-I could offer you a job, once you're out.

-Job?

-Yeah. I am opening my old business again, and you could join the "club" so to speak.

-You know you are truly an ashole!
