FEAT XANDER ❣

Thanking the bartender when he handed him the drinks, he then turned his head to flash a smile at Nancy. “Oh not at all, no.” Xander shook his head, sliding the girl’s glass to her. “I got a margarita. I was going to go with a bourbon but I thought you’d probably appreciate something that wasn’t going to burn your throat off,” he joked.

“I do appreciate that,” Nancy said with a smile as she examined the drink in front of her. She raised it to take a sip before setting it back down on the coaster. Propping her elbow on the bar as she rested her chin on her palm, she turned to look back at him. “I wasn’t drooling when you found me, was I?”

FEAT LOGAN ❣

The last thing Logan expected when she wandered back up to her suit was to find one of the maids asleep on a bench in the hallway. Pausing she stood over the girl, eyes narrowed as she stirred. “Man, if I got paid to sleep I would definitely be considering working here, but I have a feeling you’re probably not supposed to be doing that.” she said with an arched brow. “Do you really work you that hard, or are you just that lazy?” 

Nancy is not lazy by any means, but she also didn’t have a habit of speaking up to her superiors. Instead of correcting them, she just sat up on the bench. Eyes cast down on the ground when she apologized, “I’m sorry, Miss. I was exhausted.” It was no excuse for falling asleep on the job, but it was the truth. Sometimes, the club does work them too hard but it doesn’t happen that often.

FEAT FERNANDO ❣

“You can, because you’re right,” he understood that sometimes one was too tired, but had to go to work anyway, he went through that before. He had to drink a lot of coffee to stay up while he worked, because he spent the previous night awake, didn’t sleep not even one hour, if he didn’t have drink that much coffee, there was no way that he would be able to stay awake. “I can understand that, I came to work really tired before too, so it’s understand that you fell sleep, why are you so tired though?”

Smiling at the bartender when he said that she was right, she told him with a sincere expression, “Thank you, Fernando.” By now, coffee doesn’t even have an effect on her anymore with how many cups she can drink in one day. “I’ve done double shifts yesterday because one of the maids got sick, so I’m just really tired and I didn’t sleep that well either,” Nancy explained to him, followed by a yawn as she covered her mouth. “Sorry about that.”

FEAT XANDER ❣

His head still tilted a little as he watched her, he then grinned when his friend agreed. “You’re a star.” Xander told her, getting up from the bed as well. “Alright yeah, I’ll have a drink ready and waiting for you,” he smiled, leaving the room and heading down to the bar. Taking a seat, he ordered two drinks and waited for Nancy.

Nancy found one of the janitor’s closet to store the cart away for the meantime prior to heading towards the bar. Her uniform wasn’t exactly that comfortable, but she has gotten used to it by now. When he spotted Xander, she slid into the seat beside him as she shot him a smile. “I hope I didn’t make you wait too long. What is this?”

FEAT AMELlA ❣

amelia, personally, had her fair share of bad days. and although neither of them were escorts, they still represented indulgence. not that nancy looked less beautiful– amelia just wanted to help her freshen up, get her composure steady again. “my shift doesn’t start until another hour, i’m not troubled at all.” she smiles as the other takes her hand before she leads them to the backroom. there were showers and changing rooms, places for the strippers to get ready as she glances back at the other. “there’s extra clothes here, but im guessing you have an outfit?” 

Amelia’s reassurance lessened her hesitance as a little smile appeared on her closed lips. “Thank you,” she told her sincerely as Amelia led them to the backroom. Nancy has been here before to clean, not to use the facilities meant for the other employees of the club. “I do have one here in my bag,” she said, adjusting the strap of her sling bag as she looked around. “Do they have extra towels? I think I’m gonna take a quick shower just to make sure that I don’t smell.”

FEAT DEACON ❣

He was torturing her a bit but the truth was he didn’t have anywhere else to be so why not mess with her a bit. His eyes staring at her while she worked was probably one of the worst possibly punishments considering how terrified she seemed to be. It was like every move she made required her brain to verify with itself that it should indeed be doing it. “Yes while i’m here. I have to make sure you’re not going to go to sleep again Ms. Harris” he didn’t bring out his phone or even look away, instead his eyes stayed tight on her without even the slightest glance away from the younger brunette. “Were you out late partying after your shift?” he asked. Her excuse was a valid one if it was true, and though he could check he doubted she could successfully lie to him at this point anyway. “Very well—these things happen” his words giving the first hint of forgiving her actions. “Tell me—-do you like working here?”.

Nancy understood his hesitance to leave her alone in case she fell asleep while she’s on her job again. It was her fault for falling asleep anyway. Even with her eyes turned away from him, she could still feel his gaze burning into her skull. He made it much more difficult for her to work since she wasn’t really good under pressure. Shaking her head frantically at his question, the dark-haired girl was quick to answer, “No! No, sir. I don’t even really like to party and I was so tired that I’ve passed out the moment I got to my bed. It was honestly a surprise that I even made it back to my own bed before passing out and I only got to sleep a few hours before my alarm was blaring and I almost even threw it on the wall.” Cutting herself short when she realized just how much insignificant detail she just spat out, she averted her eyes away from him once more. “I do like working here, Sir. I want to keep my job.”

FEAT ANAIS ❣

“Well hello their little Kitten,” Anais spoke as advanced her way towards her. The thunderous sound of her heels clicking against the pavement of the floor. The serene french women stared at the young brunette with curiosity who laid on the couch almost begging to be devoured. “You know- If I weren’t such a lady. I’d say you’re being quite the temptress.”  

A nervous smile tugged her lips as a shade of scarlet appeared on her pale cheeks. “I’m not, Ma’am,” she replied as she slowly moved to sit up on the couch and fix the skirt of her uniform that has risen slightly upwards. She must have moved a little during her nap. “I’m sorry.”

FEAT ARIANA ❣

Ariana didn’t judge easily, at least not in situations like these. She came back to her room to Skype her mom and her daughter when she caught the maid sleeping on her bed. And while it was unexpected, she understood exhaustion and didn’t want the other to get into trouble.

She smiled sheepishly. “Hey. Uh- don’t worry about it.” Aria huffed in amusement. “Look, I get exhaustion. Trust me. Maybe you should go take a nap and come back later, I don’t mind.”

A sigh of relief fell from her lips as she rubbed her eyes a little. Slowly getting up from the woman’s bed, a small smile moved her lips. “Are you sure that would be alright? I can continue working now,” Nancy told her as she placed her feet back on the ground.

It must be her luck that the person who caught her was someone that understood her situation. It would have been terrible if it was someone who would rat her out to the manger for a simple mistake.

FEAT HAYES ❣

what was with the team of escorts they had? she may have only just started with indulgence, but there was no way that there were so many issues already. “and who may that be?” the female added in response. she certainly wasn’t a mind reader, she had no idea who it could have even been. “seriously, how hard is it to follow a schedule?” she muttered to herself. “wait, are they saying they somehow got booked at the the same time for the same escort? that is not possible.”

Now that the woman was asking who it was, Nancy realized that she forgot to ask their name in a hurry. Trying her best to recall if they heard their name somewhere. “She’s blonde and about this tall,” she said, placing her hand a few inches over her head. “I forgot to ask their name, I’m sorry.” When the woman in front of her repeated the words she said, the tiny girl just nodded her head, “That’s what the clients are saying. The escort isn’t sure of which is really booked or not.”

FEAT XANDER ❣

Pursing his lips a little as he thought, Xander then laughed. “Yeah, a little,” he agreed, shaking his head at the idea. At her next words, he tilted his head again. “Can’t you just take a little break, though? You seem like you were really busy.” Xander told his friend. “I’ll buy you a drink?”

Checking the time on her wristwatch, it was past the time when she should have taken a break. But she ended up using that to take a nap. However, she really found it difficult to say no to her friend. “Just for a couple of minutes,” Nancy told him, standing up from the bed to take the cleaning cart. “I’ll just put this away first then I’ll meet you down there?”

FEAT DEACON ❣

Deacon saw it as important for the people that worked for him to know he took things seriously, with as many employees as he had at Indulgence he couldn't’ have or allow anything but the best to be there. Their clients were high rollers and extremely wealthy individuals, perfection wasn’t the goal it was the baseline requirement. “Good—” he said simply his eyes still studying her as if to read her on a deeper level. Deacon kept silent for another moment or two before turning and walking over to a chair in the room and took a seat there, his eyes finding their way to her again. “Go ahead—-continue working” he said simply, deciding now was as good of a time as any to make sure one of his Maids was performing her job up to his level of detail. “Why is it that you’re so tired?” he asked, his version of small talk though it still sounded like an order for her to answer.

Falling under the scrutiny of his gaze was unnerving. Nancy just stood there, feeling like her whole body was frozen. Silence soon hang between them again but she didn’t move an inch until she was told to continue working. “While you’re here?” the dark-haired maid blurted aloud. Realizing that she just questioned him, her pale cheeks heated up. “I’m sorry, I’ll continue working now,” she apologized quickly, turning around to start with the bed that she messed up. Nancy moved around to fix the covers that she may have messed up a little, making sure that there were no creases for when the guest arrived back in their room. She avoided looking towards his direction as she kept her head down most of the time. Only when he asked her a question that demanded an answer did she raise her head to look at him. “I didn’t sleep well, Sir, and I had to work late last night too because one of the maids on duty got sick so they asked me to work a double shift.” She didn’t want to sound like she was complaining, but it was the truth.

FEAT DEACON ❣

Deacon knew that his presence demanded a certain aura of authority, there wasn’t a single day that he came to Indulgence not in a well tailored suit. He was a man that usually showed a small smirk if anything, the rarity of a normal smile was extreme. “Good” he said simply, his eyes keeping locked on hers as they stood there for a moment in silence. “I don’t like being disappointed in you Nancy” his voice calling her by her first name for the first time since entering the room. “When i hired you i felt you’d be quite good here—-and I don’t want to have you give me too many reasons to end that” he wouldn't’ fire her over such a thing, at least not for the first time but putting a little bit of fear in her wasn’t a bad thing. “You don’t want to disappoint me do you/”.

When he enters the room, he commanded authority with the way he held himself. Not once had she seen him with a smile on his face, it was always this distinguished stern look that made him look unapproachable. He garnered respect and the silence that hang between them was uncomfortable. But using her first name didn't bring her any comfort either. “I wouldn’t want that either, Sir,” she answered, her voice still trembling as she was obviously nervous in his presence. Nancy could feel her knees shaking a little as she tried to stand upright without slouching, but it was harder than it looked. He instilled fear on her very core as she shook her head at his question. “No, I don’t want to do that, Sir. I promise it would never happen again.” She couldn’t even bring herself to justify what happened even if she was exhausted. It was no excuse.

FEAT DEACON ❣  

There was a small part of him that loved when someone looked at him like that, that minor look of fear as they were instantly worried of the repercussions for their actions. Deacon took a few steps forward, his eyes moving from her and instead looking around the room. “What if a client had come back to the room before I did?” he asked, his hand reaching out and picking up something from the end table and looking at it for a moment before turning back around to face her. “What if they had seen one of my employees asleep on their bed?” his voice steady, and his face still difficult to read just whether or not he was angry. He set the object back down and took a step forward “Please look at me when we’re talking—it’s a bit rude to just look at the ground. We’re just talking Ms Harris”.

“I wouldn't know,” she answered in a tiny voice, keeping her head down as she prepared herself to be reprimanded. His voice was steady and that only made her more nervous. Nancy couldn't sense the emotions from his voice but she was sure that he's not happy about this. Only when he demanded that she look at him did she raise her gaze. Her lips trembled as another apology slipped out of her lips. “I'm sorry, sir. It won't happen again,” she tried to reassure him but her voice did shake a little as she held his gaze. Under his watchful eye, she could only feel herself shrink more as she hoped that this wouldn't endanger her job. He hasn't even started yelling at her and Nancy was already on the verge of tears. Authority figures always did intimidate her.

FEAT DEACON ❣

Deacon took things in Indulgence quite seriously, so when he got a report that one of his maids had fallen asleep in one of the rooms he took it into his own hands to go deal with the matter. He didn’t wake her up, instead he stood there for several moments, occasionally ruffling loud enough to clear his throat. “Ms. Harris” he said in a calm but fairly annoyed tone, his expression nearly impossible to read as he looked at her. “I’m sorry—am I bothering you?” he asked a light hint of sarcasm in his voice as he looked at her. “I wasn’t aware when I hired you that I was going to eventually have to explain to you sleeping on the job was something that was not appropriate”.

Once her vision cleared to see that it was the manager, horror soon twisted into her expression as she shot up quickly. His voice was calm, but there was an underlying hint of annoyance in it. “No, sir,” Nancy immediately replied as she stood up from the bed and got back to her feet. “You didn’t have to. I’m..I’m sorry,” her voice cracked a little at her apology. On a normal day, the presence of the manager intimidated the girl but on a day like this, it just made her more anxious and nervous. What if he decided to fire her for this? Hands fidgeted with the front of her uniform as she kept her eyes fixed on the floor. “I’m really sorry, Sir. I promise this would never happen again. Please don’t fire me,” she emplored to him as her doe eyes moved to meet his stern gaze.

FEAT FERNANDO ❣

The only reason why he was going to wake her up, was because he wasn’t sure how people would react if they saw her sleeping. How their boss would react, if they would fire her for it, or if someone else found her, and tell them, and then they fired her, and he didn’t want her to end up getting fired. “You seem really tired,” he said with a small smile. “I don’t think we’re allowed to sleep in here though, or at all in our shift… Not that I’m judging you, but what someone that would tell our boss, caught you sleeping? You have to be careful.”

“We’re not,” Nancy replied quietly. It was an unwritten rule not to sleep while they are on their shift, but she only slept for five hours and she’s been working all day. “Can I say that I’m lucky it was you who caught me?” she asked with a small nervous smile, the presumption that he wasn’t going to tell on her laced in her words. “I really didn’t mean to fall asleep and it won’t happen again.” It was different working in an establishment than a large house, but this was honestly the first time this happened to her.

FEAT DANIEL ❣

Daniel was sat in the back as he watched some of the girls on stage. All the while he was sipping on his whiskey without a care in the world. It was these nights he thrived off of when he was at Indulgence. He hadn’t even realized the girl was sleeping in the booth with him until she squeaked her greeting. “Uh, hi,” he grumbled, looking at her with sheer confusion. “Do you make a habit of falling asleep at random people’s tables?”

No one was even around yet when she was working. It was kind of a surprise to hear the music playing, especially the sight of another person in the booth. Shifting into a sitting position, a worried look crossed her face. Doe eyes peered up at the stranger as she piped in with her tiny voice, “No, I’m sorry.” Looking around her, she found that her cleaning supplies were already gone. Someone must have caught her sleeping, but they didn’t bother to wake her up. “Can I ask what time is it?”

FEAT AMELIA  ❣

the expression on amelia’s face is quick to wipe away as she sees the embarrassed smile. somehow she feels like it was the truth. “oh no,” she replies, sympathetic. “how about we get you cleaned up, my love?” she smiles before holding out a hand.  

Nancy was already running late for her shift, but there’s no way she could go looking like this. Even if no one really notices the help, they were still supposed to look decent all the time. The dark-haired woman hesitantly took the Amelia’s hand as she nodded her head. “Are you sure it’s no trouble?”
