Chapter 68
Edna
It didn't take long for Madam Tayo to arrive.
A knock sounded and the door was pushed open. Madam Tayo walked in. Her gait was seductive and confident.
Her smile became bigger when she saw Mr Blake and I on the bed. I resisted the urge to scoff.
"Mr Blake, I see you are enjoying your prize." She laughed, "Do you need anything else? The servant said you wanted to speak to me."
Mr Blake straightened up. He didn't bother to remove the hand that was around my neck.
"Yes, I have something to discuss with you. Do I have the option of using Edna's first night anytime I want? Can I choose not to spend the first night with her now?" He questioned.
The smile on Madam Tayo's lips didn't reduce in the slightest.
"That is no problem at all. You can decide to spend her first intimacy with her anytime. Edna would keep herself for you. I can guarantee that promise. I would make sure to keep her in line." Madam Tayo reassured him. "That's great. I am not postponing the claiming of my prize for too long. Don't worry. Within this week, it would be settled. I have something else to ask you though." Mr Blake responded.
"Sir, you can ask of anything at Flower Embrace Brothel. In this place, the customer satisfaction is our priority." Madam Tayo smiled.
"I am having a party tomorrow night and I want to source some girls out from your brothel. Edna is included. What do you think?" Mr Blake stared at Madam Tayo.
The aura from someone that had been in power for a long time exuded from Mr Blake's body. He didn't look like a pleasure-loving dandy.
This time, Madam Tayo's expression changed.
Mr Blake monitored her expression like a hawk.
"Can't I do that?" He prompted.
"Yes sir, you can't. I can release any type of girl you want except Edna. She can't leave the brothel. I am sorry." Madam Tayo said.
Mr Blake's eyes were hooded, "Madam Tayo, I think you have forgotten something. Don't let our day-to-day interactions fool you. You know your brothel can exist because of the support from your customers, right? Or have you forgotten? Do you think you have the right to tell me no on something like this?"
Numerous colors flashed through Madam Tayo's face. It was the first time I could see her look so defeated.
Truly, a brothel was a great way to get money. Numerous people would support this venture. Information passed around easily in brothels. It was a behemoth with great benefits and little side effects.
Madam Tayo wouldn't be able to do this one alone.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Silence reigned in the room.
"Are you still hesitating for a little thing like this? I am not asking you to hand over the control of this brothel. I am not asking you to do something major. I just want Edna to spend some time with me in a place that isn't a brothel. Is that too much to ask?" Mr Blake said.
Struggle was still present in Madam Tayo's eyes.
Finally, she gave up.
"Mr Blake," She sighed, "You can take Edna to your house if you want to. I just have a little warning to give. Edna is not as simple as she presents herself to be on the surface. She is a fierce tiger instead of a docile kitten."
Mr Blake laughed, "Don't worry about that. I am well versed in dealing with fierce and disobedient kittens. I will keep her under control. Next tomorrow, she will be back in the brothel. Don't worry too much."
My eyes were almost spitting fire. Although Madam Tayo wouldn't speak of the deal between her and Jelena to Mr Blake, I was still infuriated.
I felt like destroying everything.
Madam Tayo was a coward.
I thought she would spill everything to Mr Blake. Then, there will be more evidence of her crime laying around.
The only secret that wouldn't be revealed are the secrets that haven't been said to another living soul.
Alas, she didn't fall into that obvious trap.
Madam Tayo was taking it upon herself to destroy my good work.
Now, she had planted a suspicion about me in Mr Blake's mind. I have to be extra careful from now on.
I must not give any signs of my plans to Mr Blake or else, everything would be lost.
"Edna, I have something to speak to you about, alone." Madam Tayo turned to Mr Blake, "Don't worry sir, it won't take too long. Will you like to take the girls away with you today? Or should we send them to your mansion after you leave?" Mr Blake lost himself in his thoughts for a moment.
He looked up at Madam Tayo, "I am going to take them with me and we would set out soon. It is best to prepare the necessary things now."
"Alright." Madam Tayo smiled warmly before winking at me.
There was no hint of unbeatable composure she walked in with. I rose to my feet and followed Madam Tayo out of the room.
Madam tayo stared at me for a while.
I didn't break eye contact. I returned a glare with the same intensity she gave to me.
I was still pissed at the little warning she gave to Mr Blake.
"As you are living this brothel, I just want to tell you to desist from doing what you are not supposed to do. Consequences are dire for taboo actions. Keep that in mind." Madam Tayo warned.
I raised my right brow, "Who told you I am going to do something that is a taboo? I am well behaved try to keep your bias against me aside for a brief minute."
"I have given you valuable advice, it is up to you to act on it or disregard it. Madeline, Jade and some other girls would be the ones accompanying you to Mr Blake's house. Besides, specialized guards would be escorting you guys to Mr Blake's house in secret. Those guys would follow you back to the brothel. Think carefully before you act." She responded.
"You are really going all out to prevent me from acting out. I commend your efforts. I thought you are the kind of person that can cover the sky with one palm, I didn't know there are some things that can restrain you. It is eye opening." I smiled.
I was being petty. I just wanted to hurt Madam Tayo as repayment for all the time she made me uncomfortable and angry.
"I won't quibble with you. Go back and prepare for this trip. Take care, Edna." Madam Tayo replied before turning around to leave.
I looked at her receding back for a while.
I stared at her till her back completely disappeared.
I peered into the room, "Mr Blake. I am going back to my room to prepare for the trip. Is that okay?"
Mr Blake waved offhandedly, "Go and do what you have to do. Don't mind me."
I nodded and left.
A sigh slipped out of my lips.
This attempt to leave must not fail.
A chance like this might not appear again.
