@_Franco_: And as usual, the crimson haired assasin gets her way. "That's more like it, loverboy. Give my regards to Felix," she said as she stood up to fix her dress and brush her hair back with a hand once more. She left Franc at the table alone, disappearing behind the couples still dancing on the ballroom floor. With an extra five grand added to her payment, it was another night of convenience for Aleshanee.
@_Franco_: Aleshanee set her glass on the table and brushed her hair back. Her expressionless face now had a faint hint of anger written on it, "When you take up my own time, you pay me. Whether I'm out doing a job for you or I'm here in your club, you pay me. I've been waiting around while you were talking it up with that... thing. I'm gonna need some compensation."
@_Franco_: Aleshanee took a sip of her wine then glared at him, "You can't lie to me, Franc. The look on your face when you saw that box was like a kid's when somebody gives him free candy. So what is it? Money?"
@_Franco_: Aleshanee was sitting with one leg over the other, dangling one of her high heels between two toes by the straps and tapping the fingers of one hand on the tabletop with her chin resting on the palm of the other. She was irritated at the fact that Franco had the gall to walk off on her the way he did. She had been watching him talk with the bulky patron across the ballroom and had noticed a brown box was presented to Franco by the big man. She knew there must have been something good inside, Franc was just too easy for her to read like that. There were things that the young man would do, little things, that she could point out and give thoroughly detailed explanations about. She knew the lies behind his charming smiles. She knew the true intentions behind his pleasing words, and with him reciting an age-old line she wasn't impressed. His flattery wasn't going to work now, but the brown box, however, may be just the thing to appease the resentment she was feeling towards him. Without so much of an expression on her face, Aleshanee asserted her displeasure, "Save it for the stage girl, loverboy. What's in the box?"
