Toey looked around the room as she sipped her drink, feeling uncomfortable in her dress that was too short and revealing. She wanted to look her best for the client that had booked her through Sweetest Dream but she felt like an idiot wearing something so out of place. She didn't even know if the client would be interested in her once they saw her.
The bartender approached her, offering her another drink as he flirted with her. Toey ignored him and continued to scan the room for someone that looked familiar or important enough to warrant her attention.
Finally, she spotted a man sitting at a table by himself, looking around the room with an air of superiority about him. He was dressed in a suit that fit him perfectly, his hair slicked back and his face clean shaven. Toey approached him, smiling and doing her best to make conversation as they sat down together.
"So, what brings you here?" he asked, looking at her with a hint of disdain.
Toey blushed slightly, unsure how to respond. "I'm not sure," she said honestly. "My agency sent me."
He laughed, rolling his eyes. "Sweetest Dream, huh? That explains it."
Toey's heart sank as she realized that he was probably going to be one of those clients who only wanted sex and nothing else. She had no interest in being someone's plaything for the night but she also needed the money so she couldn't afford to turn down a client, even if it meant having to endure something unpleasant.
As they spoke, Toey noticed that he was looking at her with an appreciative eye. He seemed interested in her body rather than her personality, which made her feel like garbage. She wanted him to see her as more than just a piece of meat but she knew that was unlikely.
They spent the evening together, talking about his work and her interests, but it was clear that he had an agenda. He was interested in getting Toey into bed as quickly as possible so they could move on to other things. She didn't enjoy it but she did what she needed to do to please him while also keeping a professional distance.
Afterwards, he paid her and told her to leave. As she walked away, Toey felt like garbage again. She wanted to be more than just someone who could fulfill his sexual desires, but that wasn't the case tonight.
