Chapter 74: CHAPTER 73

Customers began to arrive at the Heavenly Palace, and the noises of conversation, laughter, and requests enlivened the atmosphere. Helena wanted to see the performance of the courtesans who would be her subordinates, asked for a waitress uniform, and decided to watch from the side without attracting attention.Obviously, there weren't any uniforms in Helena's size, but she didn't mind wearing a looser one, after all, there weren't any waitresses with the curves that she had.

Helena had only been in the Heavenly Palace for a day and had already been surprised on countless occasions, whether it was with the training, the work environment, the encouragement of the employees, the remuneration, and even the dedication of the courtesans when practicing their roles.

Despite all these surprises, she did not expect to get a new one. As she began her inspection of it, she noted that the place was packed. Not only were the large party halls filled with countless guests, but the smaller, more private halls were also fully occupied.

Not even in the best moments of her old job had she seen a night as lively as the one she was seeing right now. After her initial surprise, she concentrated on observing the work of the courtesans.

She soon realized that the girls were impeccable in their roles. They played their roles perfectly and acted flirtatious by encouraging customers to consume food and liquor in excess, but without neglecting the promotion of their services.

In a short time, Sonia, being the most valued courtesan of the Heavenly Palace left accompanied by a client. Helena couldn't believe how quickly Sonia had achieved her goal.

Even so, she accepted that being the most beautiful and sensual of the courtesans it was normal that there were some clients who only came to the Heavenly Palace to hire her services.

However, after a few minutes, the expression on her face was priceless, as the doors opened for business an hour ago and all the courtesans were already in private providing their services to different clients.

Unfortunately, she couldn't sneak into the private rooms to assess their sexual service performance, but the fact that they could capture clients so quickly was not normal, so leaving the party rooms she approached the reception.

"Eh... Excuse me," Helena said with some embarrassment. "Victor, how can I help you, Helena?" The Heavenly Palace's trustworthy receptionist answered. "Sorry, I still don't remember all the names," she spoke again still embarrassed.

"Don't worry, you just got here today, tell me, how can I help you?" Victor replied with a smile. "I wanted to ask you, are all courtesans so quick to find customers?" Helena said, becoming serious.

"It's almost always like that," replied Víctor, still smiling. Then Helena thanked him and left the reception thoughtfully, while she walked down the hall. Because she was lost in her thoughts, she did not notice Carolina who was walking in the opposite direction to her and they almost collided.

"Are you okay? You're lost", Carolina asked, a little worried when she saw Helena acting strange. Helena raised her head and seeing Carolina she said, "Excuse me, I was thinking of something. Do you think we can meet with Andrew right away? Helena said.

The question puzzled Carolina. For a second she thought Helena wanted to make a move on Andrew and her jealousy was aroused for a second, but she calmed down as she remembered that Helena said "Can we", that included her.

Carolina only nodded her head and accompanied by Helena returned to the office where Andrew was. Seeing the two entering, Andrew wrinkled his eyebrows a little, because Carolina had just left and she was already back, not to mention that she was accompanied by Helena.

Andrew imagined the worst, he thought that Carolina wanted to recriminate something about Helena, but when Carolina spoke he calmed down. "Honey, Helena needs to talk to us," that's what she said.

Inviting them in, he got up from his desk and sat down on one of the sofas in the office. Carolina sat next to him and Helena stood in front of them without taking a seat, but Andrew insisted that she sit down so she did. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Wanting to know what was going on, Andrew asked, "What did you want to talk about?" After the question the office fell silent for a few seconds and then Helena spoke, "I was wondering if you had noticed the activity of the courtesans."

The question left Carolina and Andrew with question marks over their heads since they did not understand what Helena was saying and realizing that she had not expressed herself well, she explained, "I am referring to the fact that in less than an hour all the courtesans were at the rooms with clients".

"Well, each one of them has a small group of regular clients, so they always have a busy night", answered Andrew, still confused by the question, but Carolina was a little more analytical and soon understood what Helena meant.

She was the manager of the Heavenly Palace and took care of everything that happened in the establishment, but she was generally more focused on welcoming service and customer orders to the kitchen being appropriately handled, paying almost no attention to the courtesans. , because it was not her specialty and the girls always had clients.

However, with Helena's reminder, she understood and to clarify she asked, "You mean that in an hour after opening, there are no courtesans in the halls?"

"Yes, that's what I mean", Helena answered realizing that Carolina had noticed the problem. On the other hand, Andrew was still lost, he didn't understand the conversation that the two ladies were having.

Carolina saw that Andrew hadn't understood and letting out a helpless sigh, she said, "I don't understand how you can be so brilliant for some things and so stupid for things as simple as this."

Andrew just smiled helplessly and remained silent waiting for the situation to be clarified, then Carolina explained, "The fact that the courtesans have clients so early is good because it means that they generate profits, but at the same time it shows our lack of personal".

Carolina's comment made Andrew frown, but he still didn't understand the relationship between the fact that the courtesans did their job and the lack of staff.

When Carolina noticed that Andrew still didn't understand the problem, she began to get annoyed, but Helena interrupted before she could unleash her anger on him, "Boss, if the courtesans are busy so early at night, it means that the other clients do not have access to the pleasure service."

Andrew's eyes widened when he heard Helena, now he knew why Carolina was so upset with him, it was obvious what the problem was and he must have noticed it since Helena spoke at the beginning, but it wasn't until they detailed it to him at this level that he understood.

Andrew faced Carolina and bowed slightly apologizing, a little embarrassed for not having noticed the problem, leaving the girl defenseless who could only sigh and say, "It doesn't matter, the point is that we need more courtesans."

Helena didn't speak, she just nodded her head and looked at her boss like waiting for a decision. Andrew placed his right hand on his chin as if thinking about something and after a few seconds he asked, "How many do you think we need?"

Now it was Helena's turn to look thoughtful, but she only went for a moment until she replied, "I'd say between 5 or 10 courtesans." Andrew made some quick calculations and nodded as he said, "Okay, I'll think about that matter, you can leave."

Helena got up and after a little bow left the office. Once Helena left the office, Andrew told Carolina, "At the most, we could have about 8 more courtesans."

Carolina did not understand where that number came from and Andrew, noticing it, spoke again, "We only have 8 free rooms for employees." Carolina understood that, but she didn't think they should be reduced by the number of free rooms, however, before she could speak, Andrew interrupted her, "Each courtesan must have her personal room."

His tone was not interrogative, but imposing, there was no discussion, but Carolina still asked, "Why?" Then Andrew explained the reasons. "First of all for comfort. Courtesans have heavy schedules and jobs not to mention the daily exercise, they need a personal space where they can rest.

Carolina nodded understanding the point and Andrew continued, "Second, at the rate we are going, in less than 2 years, all the courtesans will have paid their debt, then they would be free, therefore, whoever has good treatment and comforts, it allowed us to convince them to stay even after paying their debt."

Hearing the second reason, Carolina understood the point. The first reason was valid but not enough for her not to place two courtesans per room, but the second reason was more relevant to her.

She was clear that the courtesans were gaining the affection of several clients and in the future that reputation would attract more clients and that represented greater profits if at that time the courtesans who gave the Heavenly Palace its reputation left, the business would suffer, so retaining them was an obligation for them.

Understanding this, Carolina agreed with Andrew and thus it was established that the next day Andrew would go looking for new courtesans and the idea was to obtain 5 to 8 new courtesans.

Thanks to the sales of the rejuvenating creams and the increased prices of the services of the Heavenly Palace, they were not short of money and it would not be difficult to get that number of courtesans and they could even afford to pick out some with above-average appearances.
