Its Too Late To Forgive

Chapter 6: 6. STREAM OF SUN SHINE

The hoarse voice spoke up dully, Claire was once again surprised and her footsteps were successfully stopped.

She paused and turned around, raising her brow as she appraised Bella from head to toe again.

Suspiciously, she asked,

"Excuse me! What did you say just now?"

"Madam, I have come here to work as a cleaner."

"What's your age?"

With her head low all the time, Bella humbly replied, " Twenty two".

Though Bella looked like she was in her mid thirties but still Claire believed her and said,

"I have never seen any woman in her twenties, who is willing to lower her head and her dignity and take a tough job of a cleaner and that too in a night club."

She continued, "the youngest cleaner aunty here is also forty two years old and you are just twenty two! Why??"

This girl may have a hideous scar on her forehead and a dead stick - thin body, but she was still only in her twenties.

They had plenty of women of this age in her club. Some were attendants and some were waitresses but never a cleaner.

She thought as soon as she finished speaking, this girl will start telling her , her sad story and Claire has planned to throw this girl out of the club if she does that. Who cared about the life of a stranger they just meet?

But ya for sure, these stories do help the girls get money out of the riches pockets.

But to her surprise, the ugly woman didn't utter a word regarding her past.

She humbly said in a hoarse voice, ,"I have nothing left to loose. I will be glad if I am able to sell my body, only if I could."

She paused. Its very hard for Bella to speak long sentences now, her throat hurts.
