Chapter 73 Defending the Dream Dates

Finished

“It’s more than just uncomfortable; it’s demeaning,” Ellis said, referring to Easton She had never met anyone so irritating. someone who would come to her place and then mock her for being poor.

That’s how it is, people scoff at poverty, not at prostitution. Maya said, having seen her share of people who look down on others “Keep getting used to the real world.”

“I’m already used to it, but you Ellis picked up the menu from the table, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the performance on the stage below. “You’re definitely going to spend a lot tonight Save some money!”

“I’m not spending money. I’m using a membership card a client gave me. My client owns this place” Maya got the card from

a client, and in their line of work, dealing with high–end clients often meant receiving valuable gift cards.

“Then let’s toast to your luck. Ellis put down the menu and raised her glass, looking to clink glasses with Maya,

Just then, an ill–timed male voice chimed in.

“Ladies, can I get to know you?”

Someone was trying to hit on them, and both women reflexively scanned him. Normally, the success of such an approach depended on the guy’s looks and manners–Maya was quite straightforward about being swayed by appearances.

The man who approached them tonight was so average that he’d disappear in a crowd, from head to toe not Maya’s type at all. After sizing up the guy, Maya looked at Ellis, not surprised by her reaction.

Typically, the men who approached them wanted to get to know Ellis because she was stunningly beautiful. Even now, impoverished and without Easton’s financial backing, wearing cheap clothes, she still managed to make bargain bin items look like limited edition designer gear.

Tonight, she was just casually sporting wavy long hair, wearing a simple T–shirt and jeans, with a bare face that still glowed attractively. All in all, Ellis was the type who’d look gorgeous in a burlap sack, making Maya feel somewhat inferior.

Ellis wasn’t good at dismissing suitors: it was naturally up to Maya to handle it.

Maya smiled politely, “Sorry, we’re not interested in meeting anyone.”

“Coming to a bar and not having a man by your side feels a bit dry! The guy kept his cool, jokingly adding, “Don’t you miss having a man to pour your drinks?”

“We’re missing a guy who fits my standards of handsome,” Maya said bluntly.

In a bar, having a handsome guy around definitely made things more interesting and lively, as opposed to just any regular

Otherwise, it’s a strain on the eyes and the stomach! Spending any amount of time with a bland guy was less appealing than watching the band members, who were young and good–looking, clearly college–aged, unlike the man in front of them.

Maya caught the implied brag immediately and turned to Ellis with a querying look.

Good friends have an understanding, and Ellis, catching Maya’s signal, pondered for a moment, “A Rolex Submariner, the green model, those run about 14,000 dollars.”

In the past, a 14.000 dollars watch wouldn’t even catch her eye as her tastes were in the 140,000 dollars range. So, seeing someone flaunt a 11,000 dollars watch as a sign of wealth was almost laughable to her.

Maya laughed on behalf of Ellis, “We prioritize looks, and then money?

The guy didn’t mind Maya’s comment and responded with an air of someone who’s seen it all, “You’re young and don’t understand the power of money yet. Give it a few more years, and you’ll see that money can buy love too.
