Chapter 27
Meredith unconsciously touched her face. She thought to herself that if she was a man, she would have lost interest in herself too… “Merelyn, come over to my office.” Meredith entered Miss Josie’s office.
“I’ve arranged two performances for you tonight.” Miss Josie patted her shoulders and reminded her, “Since you won’t be able to quit this job, you should be careful as to not offend these rich people.” “I understand, Miss Josie.” “Merelyn, there’s something that I need to talk to you about.” Miss Josie suddenly sounded serious. “I know that you need money urgently, but as a lady, and…” Miss Josie pointed to her face and went on, “A lady with scars on her face, how are you supposed to earn more in a short period of time?” “Miss Josie, I’ll do my best.”
“What I’m trying to say is, though one’s dignity is important, there are times when our dignity is not valuable. Compared to your daughter’s life…dignity is worthless. Do you understand what I’m trying to tell you?”

Miss Josie was implying to her that she should spend a night with Mister Leon.
Because the Luna Club could not afford to offend Mister Leon and Josiah.
Leaving Miss Josie’s office, Meredith sat down in the dressing room and started putting on make-up
But no matter how perfect her make-up was, her scarred face still looked horrifying. Not able to stand looking at herself for any longer, Meredith hurriedly put on the butterfly – shaped mask
Meredith was performing an international classic song. The melodic sounds from the piano filled the entire room.
On the well-decorated stage sat a lady dressed in all white in front of the piano. She looked especially stunning. Mister Leon could not peel his eyes off Meredith. He then asked Josiah who was sitting to next him, “Josiah, are you really giving her to me tonight? I’m already looking forward to tonight.”
As if he had not heard Leon, Josiah had his eyes glued onto the woman on stage.
He was surprised that Meredith’s piano skills had improved throughout the years. Josiah furrowed his brows suddenly at the thought of how Meredith was selling herself in the nightclub for the sake of money. “Of course,” replied Josiah before leaving the room. soon as Meredith walked down from the stage, Linda welcomed her with a look of disdain on her face as she said, “Mister Leon said to get yourself ready in the guest room. He will be shortly after.” usure, thank you.” Meredith then headed toward the lift. “Merelyn,” with a worried look on her face Zya called out to her and asked, “are you really going up? I heard that Mister Leon is a…creep” “Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.” Meredith patted Zya’s shoulders to assure her.
Meredith knew that Mister Leon was a pervert and a creep. But Josiah demanded her to be there, there was nothing that she could do.
Looking at Meredith entering the lift, Zya murmured to herself, “And…Zade will be heartbroken.”
Meredith did not hear Zya. She had arrived at the VIP guest room on the top floor of the building. Meredith sat absentmindedly by the bed for quite some time before finally hearing footsteps nearing the door. She then heard Mister Leon’s honeyed voice calling out to her. “My darling, here I come. Have you been waiting long?” Meredith froze. Just hearing his voice made Meredith’s hair stand on end.
She was already feeling disgusted.
However, she was not allowed to offend him. Hence, forcing a smile on her face, she went to jelcome him.
