'Ashley, don't be like this, I have no other choice. Don't blame me." After speaking, he bit his lip, took out his wallet from his body, took out a few bills, estimated to be several tens of millions, and gave it to Ashley: 'You can take this money, just spend it on living expenses."
Ashley still stood there, not moving, not accepting the money.
Bentley grabbed Ashley's arm tightly, and stuffed the money into Ashley's palm: 'Ashley, don't be stubborn anymore. You have to accept other people's goodwill, don't be stubborn like before." Ashley looked at the money in her palm, her heart ached, the pain was so great that the veins on her face felt like they were draining...
'Brother, it's true that I'm a prostitute, but I don't need your money." A hoarse voice rang out, and Ashley waved her hand, the elevator was filled with a rain of money, gently falling to the ground.
"Also, this is the last time I call you brother."
The elevator returned to its original position, the door opened, Ashley ignored Bentley, raised her foot to step out, and then was held tightly by an arm: "No, Ashley, you can't go out now, you find a place to hide first."
"Let go, I still have work to do"
"No, Ashley, if you go out now, they will see me. Arwood's group is having a party here today." Bentley pulled Ashley into the elevator: "Ashley, you don't want to be seen by your friends who used to play with you, right."
Ashley seemed to have stopped breathing, fear was evident in her eyes… Bentley's words were still ringing in her ears, this was also a weakness in her heart – she didn't dare let her former playmates see her current lowly and despicable appearance.
Her speed was even faster than Bentley's, she panicked and reached out to press the elevator door close button.
'Oh, young master Bentley found a beauty, having fun in the elevator like this." A joking voice rang out, the elevator door that was originally closed was then blocked by someone outside, then opened to both sides.
Bentley immediately pressed Ashley's face into his arms: 'Arwood, stop messing around." Bentley raised his hand to block Arwood's hand that was reaching out to Ashley: 'She's shy, Arwood, the private room upstairs is open, you two go up first."
After speaking, he pressed Ashley's face into his arms, at the same time carrying Ashley in his arms.
'Young master Bentley, where are you going? Let's go up together."
"I have some personal matters, you guys go first, I'll go right away. I'll take care of today's expenses, everyone just enjoy yourselves."
In the elevator, a whistle sounded from behind, "Listen, young master Bentley said he has some personal matters, with whom? Look at the girl he's holding in his arms, he's getting more and more sensible."
Ashley could still hear the happy laughter of the others before the elevator door closed.
Bentley pulled her to a hidden corner, "Ashley, don't go to work today." Ashley's heart suddenly ached, she didn't dare to face the people she had played with, but, the person she had called "brother" for more than 20 years was in front of her, when she said those words, Ashley's hand unconsciously tightened on her thigh, only then could she restrain the urge to scream at him right now.
Ashley, you are a prisoner in a re-education camp, you have no relatives, and three years ago all your family abandoned you, Ashley, don't be sad, tears must flow, heart must ache, in these three years they have long withered... She kept telling herself in her heart, repeating it over and over again, finally...
Slowly raising her head, Ashley reached out to pull Bentley's hand that was tightly holding her arm away, "I'm not going to work today, what about tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow, as long as Club Paradise opens, they will come to have fun, it's inevitable that one day, we will still meet."
She looked towards Bentley, wanting to hear with her ears, at this moment, the person she called "brother" for more than 20 years, how would he answer, what would he choose?
"Ashley, don't stay here anymore, change to another job."
"Change to another job? What job do you want to introduce me to?" Ashley asked with a surprised smile, waiting for Bentley to extinguish the last flame in Ashley's heart.
She also expected Bentley to make a decision that was beyond her expectations... If that was the case, Ashley thought to herself: If Bentley made a decision that was beyond her expectations this time, then, no matter how disappointed or even hateful she was in prison, from now on she would put that grudge aside.
Bentley was silent, after a while: "Ashley, I'm sorry that... Milan is too cruel, our family... doesn't dare to bet."
Ashley's eyes darkened, in the end, she still couldn't wait for Bentley to make a decision that was beyond her expectations.
"Then I'm sorry, I have no way to change to another job."
Ashley coldly refused.
Bentley got angry again: "Ashley, this is because you're stubborn, why can't you change to another job, but have to stay here to do this kind of work?"
"Young master, let me remind you, I'm just a reform prisoner, I've been to prison before. Where do you think I can find a decent job?"
'Ashley, those who have been to prison, you are not the only one, why can those people work hard to support themselves, but you have to stay in a place like this, creating joy for others? Ashley, you are a pervert."
Ashley's shoulders trembled, she tried to pinch the outside of her thigh, only then could she restrain the urge to reach out and slap Bentley in the face.
She suddenly tilted her head to look at Bentley, this person was the brother she had called for more than 20 years, the beautiful memories of the past, her brother's pity, her brother's protection, her brother's tolerance… It turned out that in the past three years, the one who had changed was not only her but also Bentley.
Bentley didn't understand why a good sister turned into the woman in front of him now, why the arrogant and confident Ashley, with extremely high self-esteem, turned into a woman who wanted to flatter men to make money like today.
"Ashley, you've changed."
Bentley looked at Ashley with a disappointed expression: "Ashley, you weren't like this before. If your parents saw you now, they would be disappointed. I've said everything I should say, from now on, what kind of life do you want, want to be as humble as a worm, or work hard and live under the sun, it's all up to you to choose."
