‘I have to say, I did become sloppier. What Bonnie said was a wake-up call for me.’
“Understood, chief! I won’t make the same mistake again. I’ll run things in my head before I speak or do anything.”
Turning around, Bonnie stared at him solemnly. “Good. I said what I said because I wanted to teach you a lesson. I hope you understand that we’re putting our lives on the line when we’re executing the missions.
“It takes one slip, and you might just end up dead. You have to be more careful.”
He nodded furiously, “Alright, chief. Loud and clear.”
Cliff seemed to actually understand what she said, so she decided she could drop the matter and turn her attention to the stage again.
Suddenly, one of the organization leaders hollered at the host, “You claimed that she has a pair of killer legs. That, she does. As for her looks, however…”
He paused deliberately and glanced at the cage profoundly. “None of us can see what she looks like. So, how are we supposed to know if she’s beautiful?”
The moment he said it, there was an uproar among the other organization leaders.
“He’s right. You should ask the pet to show us her face so we can judge if she’s, indeed, beautiful.”
“Hear, hear. From what I see, you guys are trying to auction her off and make us bid for a pleasurable night with her. But, how are we supposed to pay for her if we can’t see what she looks like?”
“Yeah. What are we supposed to do if the pet ended up having a great figure, but a less than ideal face?”
Not long after, more and more people joined in the uproar.
“Take her mask off and show us her face!”
