"Sit," Carlos requested of Ana.

Ana obeyed. She sat next to Carlos. She didn't say anything, just smiled at him.

"How old are you?" Carlos asked.

Ana felt a little awkward. Carlos was supposed to sleep with her, but he was asking questions like he was interviewing her.

"I'm twenty-two," Ana replied. "And you, how old are you?" Ana began to guess. "Thirty, maybe?"

Carlos didn’t show any emotion. He just stared at Ana with his passive face. Ana felt this was strange. If Carlos wanted to have sex with her, he should be more attractive.

"Are you new to the Lotus House?" Carlos asked.

"Two years," Ana answered, raising an eyebrow. "Excuse me, sir. When are we going to start? I'm here to satisfy your desires, but you're interviewing me like this instead."

Carlos suddenly closed his eyes. It seemed he didn't like what Ana had said.

"Zack!" Carlos called out.

Ana was confused. What was wrong? She had only asked. Ana was even offering herself to Carlos.

Zack came rushing over. He looked down. Ana was confused and then looked at Carlos.

"Yeah, Sir," Zack said.

"You didn't tell this girl the rules," Carlos said to Zack.

Zack was still looking down when he had to answer. "I'm sorry, sir. Ana wasn't the one who was supposed to be here. I had another woman prepared..."

"I want this woman. Why do you keep bringing up other women? She's young. I don't want to come across like a savage animal. Explain the rules!" Carlos sounded like he had a lot of power.

Ana understood that the Lotus House customers were all important people, but Zack had never been this scared of a customer. Who was he, really? Why was Zack so terrified?

Zack immediately grabbed Ana's hand. He led her to one of the rooms on the second floor. Zack looked panicked. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Are you okay, Zack?" Ana asked. "Why are you so scared?" She was worried about Zack.

"Because Carlos is an important guest!" Zack shouted, but he tried to keep his voice down.

Ana didn't understand why Zack had to panic just because Carlos was an important guest. "Don't you only accept important guests?"

"Yeah, yeah. But Carlos is the most important guest. I can't ignore him, or my business will fail." Zack kept looking behind him as if someone was watching.

"Listen to me. Don't ask Carlos too many questions. He's very introverted and a perfectionist. Just do whatever he asks. Satisfy him. You’ll be paid a fantastic price," Zack said.

Hearing about the price, Ana started to get excited. "Really?"

"Absolutely. That's why I'm willing to close the Lotus House. I want to..."

Zack and Ana hadn't finished talking when someone knocked on the door. Ana and Zack were, of course, startled. The situation suddenly turned creepy.

"Damn!" Zack cursed, but a moment later, he smiled. Zack composed himself and opened the door. Carlos was standing there.

"Are you done, Zack?" Carlos asked. "I have to leave soon."

"Oh, okay!" Zack hurriedly handed Ana over, but Carlos walked into the room instead.

Carlos immediately pushed Zack out of the room and locked the door. This was the first time Ana had ever had such a strange customer. Carlos looked at Ana. His gaze was as cold as winter. He was handsome, but his face had no smile at all.

"Lie on the bed. I’m going to shower first," Carlos said.

Carlos's deep and calm voice made Ana's heart pound. She immediately got on the bed. Meanwhile, Carlos went into the bathroom. The sound of the shower running could be heard.

Ana let out a sigh of relief. She had to be professional. She would get the money, and she would also try to make Carlos a regular customer for Aby's sake.

Ana then took off all her clothes. Her beautiful and sexy body lay on the bed. She tried to act normal. Unfortunately, she couldn't. Ana was nervous. It was like the first time she had ever served a customer.

A moment later, Carlos came out of the bathroom. He was only wearing a towel. He had his suit on his arm and then placed it on the table.

"He has a great body," Ana thought to herself. This was the first time Ana had a customer who was so handsome and masculine. Usually, she was with men who were not very attractive in terms of looks, but they held important positions in the country.

"Ready?" Carlos asked.

Ana immediately nodded. She didn't know what to do at this moment. Carlos was too calm for someone who wanted to satisfy his lust with a prostitute.

Carlos got onto the bed. Ana was getting more and more curious and nervous. Carlos lifted the blanket that was covering Ana's body. Ana's face turned red.

"Shit! Why am I embarrassed? Isn't this normal?" Ana thought.

Carlos suddenly kissed Ana's forehead. This was unexpected. Why kiss her forehead? They could have had a passionate make-out session and gotten right to it.

Carlos looked at Ana’s face. He was doing it as if Ana was his girlfriend.

"Hey, are you nervous?" Carlos asked.

Ana shook her head. But that was a lie. She was very nervous. Being stared at by a man as handsome as Carlos made her incredibly nervous.

This time, Carlos began to passionately kiss Ana’s lips. Ana was taken aback. How could a kiss be so arousing? Carlos was really doing it as if Ana was his girlfriend. Ana began to feel a rush of passion. Especially when Carlos's hands touched her body.

They were still in the middle of a passionate kiss and hand game. But then Carlos suddenly stopped.

"Why?" Ana asked, confused. She was bewildered. It had been incredible.

"I'm sorry," Carlos said. Suddenly, he started putting his clothes back on.

Ana covered her body with the blanket. She then sat up.

"Did I do something wrong, sir?" Ana asked. Her eyes widened when she accidentally saw Carlos holding a weapon. He put the pistol in the back of his pants.

"No, it's fine. I just wanted..." Carlos was suddenly flustered. He then sat on the bed.

Ana was confused because Carlos was acting strange. She put her clothes back on and tried to sit next to Carlos.

"Come to my house. I don't want to talk here," Carlos said abruptly. He took out a business card and handed it to Ana.

Ana took the business card and read it.

"Why, Sir? What do you want to talk to me about?" Ana kept glancing at the pistol that Carlos was carrying.

"I’m very attracted to you. This is the first time I've been so aroused. You have to come to my house. I will pay you a fair price." After speaking, Carlos suddenly left the room.

Ana was silent. She stared at the business card in her hand.

"Carlos Decker. Founder of Zero One," Ana murmured. "What does he want with a prostitute like me?"
