America 1982

"Beatrice, are you sure you want to go out with this kid? Are you sure? If you are threatened, just tell me and I can help you solve it. The club hired us to solve this kind of problem." A bodyguard walked backstage. In the dressing room, he asked Melonie, who had already changed clothes inside.

This new part-time dancer just went to the champagne box with the guy for fifteen minutes and then came out and said she wanted to call it a day and leave, which made everyone in the club a little bit incredulous.

For part-time dancers like Melonie, the club actually does not set hard restrictions. Only strippers who have signed a formal performance contract with the club have specific performance time requirements, so Melonie proposed to call it a day, and the club theoretically has no right to stop her. I won't interfere, I'm just worried about Melonie getting into trouble.

After all, it's not the best time for business in the evening yet. A woman with outstanding beauty like Melonie might be able to earn one or two hundred dollars in a single curtain room or a champagne box after nightfall.

But now, the fifty yuan for the champagne box, deducting the club's share and the backstage staff's tips, Melonie only received fifteen dollars personally.

I was ready to leave after only earning fifteen yuan. The most likely reason was that something went wrong during the fifteen-minute performance in the champagne box.

The most likely possibility is that the white boy who looked too young learned that Beatrice was new to the country and lacked experience in dealing with guests, so he intimidated or deceived Beatrice and took her to get a room in a motel?

"No, Big Pete, thank you, I'm fine, I'm not threatened." Melonie took off her gaudy high-heeled shoes, put on her own flat shoes, stood up from her seat, and said to the club bouncer.

Seeing Melonie insisting on leaving, the bodyguard could only shrug and let the door open: "Guests come to the club for entertainment. There are many rules, and the same goes for the girls in the club. That is, never believe the sweet words of those guys. Making money is First priority.”

"I will." Melonie stepped out of the dressing room.

At the same time, Will Kendrick asked Tommy Hawke with a shocked face: "Kid, fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes she agreed to leave here with you? You know it is very immoral behavior, right? ?”

"I know." Tommy stood at the bar, twitching his fingers at the bartender, signaling for two drinks.

Will Kendrick received Tommy's answer, nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to ask: "What I want to say is that if you don't share the method with your friends, it would be even more unethical."

Tommy turned around and took the two glasses of whiskey from the bartender, handed one to Will Kendrick, and said with a smile: "If I have a way, of course I will share it with you, just like this glass of wine."

"Okay, now I can only force myself to accept the most impossible reason. Your charm is too outstanding." Will Kendrick took the wine glass and smiled: "Seeing that you are so high-spirited and ready to take the woman away. The appearance reminds me of my youth.”

"Here's to those years." Tommy raised his glass in gesture.

Will Kendrick raised his glass and clinked it with Tommy, sighing a little: "To the youth."

"Can you give me your contact information? Mr. Kendrick? I'm going to your factory to buy some cheap goods." Tommy drank the wine in one gulp and then said.

"Oh~" Will Kendrick rolled his eyes at Tommy in frustration: "Boy, you are the most boring guy I have ever seen. I was just immersed in remembrance and couldn't extricate myself. You broke my mood with just one sentence. , I have already said that it is not a retail convenience store, and the minimum sales price is 100 boxes. I am just a maintenance engineer, not the person in charge of the factory. Just because you and I had a few drinks at a strip club, it does not mean that the factory can sell it. Here are some cartons of cheap cigarettes for you.”

"I'm going to buy a hundred boxes."

"Tommy, I..." Will Kendrick impatiently wanted to end this meaningless conversation. He suddenly froze and looked at Tommy: "Sorry, kid, what did you just say?"

Tommy looked at Will Kendrick, nodded affirmatively and said, "I'm going to buy a hundred boxes."

After a long ten seconds, Will Kendrick spoke again: "If you weren't kidding me, I think I have figured it out by now. You can take a girl out to have fun, not because of your own charm, but because of your own charm." By cash.”

"In my understanding, personal charm includes personal money." Tommy laughed.

Will Kendrick asked the bartender for a pen and paper, and then wrote a series of numbers on it: "This is the number of the maritime satellite phone of the processing plant. Call it and it will be introduced by Will in Miami. Although there is no discount, at least You shouldn’t have to wait too long in line to get your goods loaded.”

"Thank you, Mr. Kendrick." Taking the number handed over by the other party, Tommy Hawke thanked him.

"But you'd better think clearly. It's okay for you to buy cigarettes, but if you want to sell cigarettes without paying taxes and without a cigarette license, just wait to be arrested. It is said that the tax department has arrested a lot of cigarettes in New York and Boston. Dealer." Will Kendrick warned with a serious expression: "The processing factory doesn't care how many cigarettes were confiscated from the dealer, they have already paid anyway."

"I will keep your advice in mind, Mr. Kendrick." Tommy put away the piece of paper and thanked him sincerely again: "Thank you, I will not do anything that violates American laws. My mother taught me."

At this time, Melonie had already changed into casual clothes and walked out. Will Kendrick saw Melonie, then sighed depressedly, lowered his voice and said in Tommy's ear: "This kind of woman is a little too fond of you." She is too mature, but she fits me very well. I really wish it was her who went to my curtain just now. My child, she is very beautiful, and you are very lucky."

"My greatest luck is that I walked into this club this afternoon and met you, Mr. Kendrick." Tommy Hawke said to Will Kendrick: "If your vacation is long enough, welcome to Warwick The city is wandering around, and although there is no strip club there, I can introduce you to my aunt, and maybe we can have a barbecue together, or go out on a boat to enjoy the breeze."

"I'm not interested in old women from the country, and the sea here will never compare with my hometown of Miami in my heart. Boy, if I have time, I will still choose to show my charm to the women in the bars in this area." Will Ken Derek waved his hand, taking Tommy's words as a lewd joke on him.

Tommy Hawke nodded understandingly: "OK, see you next time, sir. I hope you won't regret rejecting me."

"Never, see you next time," Will Kendrick said.

Tommy Hawk walked towards Melonie who was waiting at the door. As he walked, he said softly in a voice that Will Kendrick could just hear: "Aunt, let's go."

These words made Will Kendrick petrified on the spot.

By the time he came to his senses and chased them out of the club, Tommy and Melonie were no longer on the street. He turned around in frustration and wanted to walk back to the club.

The hunky club bouncer stood in front of the front desk and looked at him expressionlessly: "Sir, please pay three yuan for the ticket."
