Sneering in response, Zivon retorted, “Pranks are supposed to be funny. That aside, don’t even try to play the victim. Now take this thousand dollars and undress already.”
“…W-what?! I refuse!” exclaimed Cherry as the people around her began whispering even more things among themselves.
Smirking in response, Zivon replied, “What’s wrong? I thought you were proud of your profession? Or did I offer too little? Here, I’ll add another thousand to the mix!”
Clenching her fists, the humiliated woman then said, “…Young Master Burton, I-”
“What? Still not enough?! Fine! Take a million more, then! You admitted to being a whore, right?! Shouldn’t you be obeying my orders with this much cash in your face?! If you still refuse to do it, then maybe my friend here can help you out!” roared Zivon, prompting Nathan to slowly begin approaching her!
Cherry, for one, hadn’t expected to be humiliated this terribly, and after pursing her lips, she couldn’t help but look at Xavia… Compared to her, that woman looked like a saint, and with such an immense gap between their points in life, Cherry finally forced herself to admit that being a hooker was not something she should be proud of…
It took her a while, but she eventually muttered, “…I… I’m sorry, so please stop…! It’s just… After college, I tried many, many jobs, but all of them were equally as tiring and yet the pay remained low… Eventually, I came across my current profession, and though money was still hard to come by, I could at least have fancier things around me… As for my earlier behavior toward Mrs. Burton…”
“It’s because I’ve seen countless women cry helplessly when their husbands eventually cheated on them… It twisted my worldview to the point where I assumed that loyalty was a joke, and that there was no problem with stealing husbands away if heartbreak was imminent anyway… With that in mind, I got particularly pissed when Young Master Burton sent me off so casually last night without even giving me a chance to do anything…”
