The Rise of David

Chapter 12: Mistress
In the bar, neon lights strobed and flashed. The atmosphere was extremely lively. David saw that after Hilda and the other girls went inside, they were brought to the back. He followed behind closely, but a man stopped him.
“I’m sorry, Sir. But you’re not allowed to pass through here. The backstage is for staff only.”
David looked in the direction where Hilda had gone to. Seeing that she had disappeared, he walked away and sat down at the table in the corner. He was eager to find out what she was doing there. Soon after, Hilda and the other girls came out. They were all wearing nothing but sexy lingerie. The girls danced their way toward the center of the stage, and immediately, the crowd went crazy as the spotlights flashed around them.
Hilda and the other girls started dancing erotically. It was obvious that Hilda’s movements weren’t as fluid as the others, but she did her best while forcing a smile. Everyone could see that she was a greenhorn. They all shifted their gazes to her, and some even tossed cash at her. David was utterly shocked because little did he expect the shy and well-behaved Hilda Wallace to become an exotic dancer.
Looking at the banknotes on the stage, Hilda bent down repeatedly to pick them up and shove them into her bra, giving the men in the crowd the opportunity to feast their eyes on her. Witnessing that, David walked toward the stage, fished out a few thousand bucks, and threw them on the stage.
“Thank you, Sir!”
Hilda exclaimed the moment she saw the stack of cash. However, when her eyes met David’s, she froze for a good few seconds.
Quickly withdrawing her gaze, she pretended not to see David and continued to pick up the money on the stage before resuming her dance. Only the smile on her face was no longer visible. David’s generosity had caught the attention of the partygoers.
But the moment they saw that he was in simple clothing, the look of admiration in their eyes was replaced with those of scorn.
One of the men tapped on David’s shoulder and said, “Hey man, judging by how you look, I guess you’ve just thrown your life savings away, eh? I suggest you get lost before you get hooked on spending your next paycheck the same way.”
David ignored him because his eyes were still glued to Hilda. It has only been three years. How did she change so much? Hilda turned away from David and danced facing the opposite direction while the other girls threw themselves at him upon witnessing his generosity.
“Hello, handsome.” One of them reached out to stroke David’s face. The dancers could easily recognize men who were rich yet humble. Hence, they assumed that David was one of them. David tilted his head and avoided the dancer. He was still staring at Hilda.
“What’s your name, beautiful?” a man beside David asked, flashing a lewd smile.
After that, he pulled the dancer down from the stage.
The dancer yelled as she was abruptly pulled down. The moment she fell onto the ground, a group of men rushed toward her and started groping her. They all wanted a piece of her.
“F*ck off! Do y’all have a death wish?” a woman in formal attire thundered.
She was heavily made-up and had a few burly bouncers behind her. Upon hearing that, the men scattered instantly. “Jenny...” the helpless dancer cried out.
The men’s touches lingered on her skin and even her bra was pulled out of shape.
“Get lost.”
Jenny furrowed her brows.
The dancer quivered in terror and ran toward the backstage. Jenny then took a glance around the stage and saw that David was still standing there alone. She ignored him and looked at Hilda.
“Hilda, come here.”
Hearing her name, Hilda stopped dancing and walked down the stage.
“What’s the matter, Jenny?”
“The boss is here. He wants you to entertain him,” Jenny said straightforwardly.
Hilda was stunned for a moment. Despite her reluctance, she dared not say much and could only leave with Jenny. When she walked past David, she deliberately avoided him by keeping her head down.
“Hilda.”
David reached out and grabbed her arm.
“Do you know him?” Jenny asked with a frown. “No ... No, I don’t.” Hilda shook her head before staring into David’s eyes.
“Who are you? Let me go. I need to work!”
After shaking David off, Hilda followed Jenny backstage. Jenny glared at David silently for a second before walking away.
“Hilda, the boss likes you a lot. Behave yourself around him. More importantly, don’t find yourself a boyfriend. If you can please him, you don’t have to worry about those loan sharks anymore. In fact, it doesn’t matter who comes after you because he’ll take care of you. Heck, I might even have to work for you by then,” Jenny said.
Although Hilda wasn’t happy, she tried her best to put on a smile.
“Jenny, why would the boss be interested in me? I think he likes you more.”
As a matter of fact, Hilda was disgusted by the boss. He was a bald man with a bulging belly. Even though she had no choice but to become an exotic dancer at the bar, she never wanted to be someone’s mistress.
“I’m too old, now. You can still make it,” Jenny said, looking at Hilda enviously.
Indeed, age was very important in that particular industry. Soon, they arrived at a spacious and luxurious office. Inside, a bald, middle-aged man was sitting on the couch and in front of him was a bottle of red wine.
Upon seeing the man, Jenny bowed and said, “Sir, Hilda is here.” “She hasn’t entertained other customers privately, right?”
the man asked. “No, of course not. I dare not go against your order, Sir.” Jenny shook her head.
“All right, you can leave now.”
The man waved for Jenny to leave the room. Jenny gave Hilda a wink before she left and closed the door. Hilda was trembling with fear now that she was alone in the room.
“S-Sir...”
Hilda squeaked out.
The man raised his head and appraised her from head to toe, his eyes filled with lust.
With a grin, he said, “Relax, I won’t eat you. Come sit with me.”
He patted on the couch next to him. Despite being absolutely terrified, Hilda didn’t dare to disobey him. She walked slowly toward him and sat down. At the sight of a fair and beautiful young lady, the man was all the more aroused as his eyes lit up.
He poured two glasses of red wine and offered Hilda a glass.
“Come. Drink with me!”
“S-Sir, I ... I can’t drink.”
Hilda did not dare to reach out for the glass.
“It’s all right. You can learn now!” The man’s lips quirked up.
Left without a choice, Hilda took the glass of red wine and downed it in one go. The man burst into laughter upon seeing that.
“Jenny told me that you owe the loan sharks quite a sum of money. Is that true?” he asked. Hilda nodded.
“Yes, a million.”
“A million? That’s not a small number,” the man said, then wrote a check for one million and slid it toward Hilda.
“Satisfy me tonight and this one million check is yours.”
The man sounded confident. He had used the same method on a lot of girls before Hilda and it worked all the time. Hilda’s breath hitched as she stared at the check. It’s one million! With it, I don’t have to hide from the loan sharks anymore. Besides, I can quit being an exotic dancer and quit being afraid of meeting someone I know. However, she was caught in a dilemma.
She knew that if she were to accept the money, her whole life would start spiraling downward. Although I’m an exotic dancer, my chastity is still preserved. Once I pay all my debts, I can still return to living a normal life. I can even marry a man whom I love and have a family of my own. If I accept the money now, I will have to be someone’s mistress for the rest of my life! Suddenly, she had a flashback and thought of David.
When they were still teenagers, David had been particularly protective of her.
In fact, back then, she had liked him so much that she kept thinking about marrying him one day. However, they eventually grew apart when they got older. By then, David had found Sandy, and a marriage was on the horizon. Because of that, Hilda never looked for David anymore.
