On the Ruins of His Regret I Soar novel Chapter 27

“Who’s asking for me?” a sultry voice purred from behind her.

Jessica turned. The woman, Laura, exuded a natural allure. She wore a wine-red slip dress that dipped just low enough to reveal elegant collarbones. She looked to be in her early thirties, a perfect blend of sophisticated and sexy.

Laura’s eyes lingered on Jessica’s face. “You’re the one who called earlier?”

Jessica nodded.

Laura couldn’t seem to tear her gaze away. “Come with me.”

She led Jessica up to a second-floor office. “What’s your name?”

“Jessica Brown.”

Laura paused, then chuckled. “Did you see the news today? That Mrs. Smith they were talking about seems to share your name.”

“That’s me,” Jessica said quietly.

Laura’s fingers trembled, dropping a bit of cigarette ash onto the back of her hand.

“Then why are you here, doing this kind of work?”

“I need to survive.”

“Just being nosy, but you’re giving up the life of a wealthy housewife to become a bottle girl? If your family finds out, they’ll probably tear my club apart.”

“I’m getting a divorce, and my family has washed their hands of me. I can do whatever I want.”

Laura tossed a folded outfit to Jessica. “Alright. Give it a try tonight. If you can handle it, you can start officially tomorrow. Hours are five p.m. to two a.m. Base pay is eighteen hundred a month, but it’s all about the commission.”

Jessica was surprised it was that easy. She held the clothes, unsure what to do next.

Laura raised an eyebrow. “Go change. Then I’ll show you the ropes.”

In the restroom, Jessica put on the outfit. It was a bunny girl costume. The skirt was shockingly short, barely covering the tops of her thighs on her tall frame.
