Crave The Rose

Chapter 3

At night, at exactly 10 o'clock, Erika found herself in the dressing room. An hour ago she bought sandwiches with coffee and went to the pharmacy for heat control pills. This time it was inside a luxury club on the top floor of a building in city.

She buttoned up her white shirt which she had just washed a few days ago, hoping that her customer today wouldn't force her shirt off. Three times she had an experience where the Alphas who were her customers pulled her clothes by force and made her has to re-sew the buttons of her shirt back into place.

That is how scary this place is actually. But this one is the only place which gave much salary for student like her. Erika doesn’t let the tears coming out of her eyes whenever she rewind how she could survive to work here for months. She born to be stand strong.

Finished buttoning her shirt, Erika wore a black blazer, her pride blazer that cost half of her salary here. Then she looked in the mirror, tying her long black hair as pony tail, put on earrings, and wear red colour lipstick on the lips. Finally, Erika looked at herself, judging her appearance, which she felt was perfect.

Jenny, a blonded Beta with friendly ace, Erika's superior, immediately approached her in the dressing room while she busy looking at her apperance in the mirror.

"Okay, you already look perfect, Rose!" She exclaimed excitedly at Erika. Rose is Erika's nickname in the club, making it easy for customers to remember her name. "Today we have a special guest, and he asked me to find you tonight."

"Oh, really?" Erika raised her yebrows. She knows that she is indeed much sought after by the Alphas at a high price. Her face is a mix of cute and attractive. The way she is talking making people around her feels comfortable and wanting to keep her by their side.

Even to the point of making several Alpha and Beta in her campus asked Erika to go on a date, even though in the end she keeps rejected them all by the reason she has no time.

But it's rare for a customer to directly order her service through Jenny. Don’t think that the meaning of service here is Erika got to do s****l interaction with them all night. Most of them just want Erika to spare some times to keep them company.

Yes, that’s right. Many people willing to pay at high price for a person to listen the things that they blurted out attentively.

"What's so special about him that I have to serve him straight away?" Erika asked confuse with the customer mentioning her name like that. Its incredibly unusual for her.

Jenny raised an eyebrow, "I don't think it's my job to explain," said her. "But you won't regret serving him tonight. He's handsome and has a lot of money. You must be getting paid five times the regular customer."

Erika felt herself a little excited to hear his boss's words. She remember her grandmother once again, "Then maybe I'd better go see him now."

Jenny happily escorted her to a row front sofas in the VIP room, while passing the crowds of Alpha and Beta who were dancing and talking around them. On the red velvet sofa, Erika could see an Alpha sat calmly, a handsome face with a strong jaw and a face that in Erika's mind looked innocent. The Alpha—Erika liked the citrus and cinnamon aroma emitted by him—sat surrounded by a number of male and female Omegas, while next to him stood a tall Alpha, ordering a drink from a waiter.

The Alpha immediately turned to Erika when he realized Jenny and her were coming. He flashed a smile, his eyes sparkles resembled a cute puppy. Erika felt herself attracted to the Alpha, not without reason, but because of the warm aura of an Alpha that she rarely feel. Moreover, this Alpha in front of her doesn't seem much different in age from Erika.

"Your name is Rose?" asked the Apha, telling the Omegas beside him to get out of the way. Erika grimaced when the Omegas that being asked to go threw her an annoyed look. "Please sit next to me," said the Alpha, patting the empty seat next to him. Erika sat with a slightly awkward attitude, but she tried to return Alpha's smile,

"Would you like a drink?", said the man beside her. His eyes stare never leave Erika’s.

Erika nodded in agreement, "A glass of martini will be enough for me."

“Good choice," He ordered a waiter to bring two glasses of Martini. Then he looked at Jenny, "Yes, Baby. I think this is the person I'm looking for."

"I'll beat you up if you hurt a valuable asset in my club," said Jenny. She glanced at Erika, "Don't hesitate to call me if this kid Alpha is being rude to you, okay?"

Erika was still smiling awkwardly. Alpha next to her just laughed and kicked Jenny's leg jokingly, "I understand. After all, that's not what I came here for."

Jenny just nodded in approval and walked away, disappearing among the crowd of people.

Their martini order arrived shortly after. "Ah, yes," said the Alpha realizing something, "I forgot to introduce myself."

Erika smiled at him sweetly, "That's right, you haven't introduced yourself yet," Erika said, realizing it for the first time also. "What's your name? I've never seen you come to this place."

The alpha pointed at him, "People call me Jack." There was a snort of laughter from Alpha who had been standing up from earlier with a waiting attitude, "Oh, don't laugh at me, Tony. You also call me like that, right?"

The Alpha named Tony just nodded while holding back his laughter, "Alright, Jack."

"Are you serious your name is Jack?" Erika raised his eyebrows. "Could it be that you're not actually from here?" Jack laughed amusedly, "I am serious. I hope you also call me by that name, Rose. Jack and Rose, sound appropriate, don't they?"

Erika laughed sincerely, "You're so cute, Jack."
