Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 699 Mandy Vickers

Since they ordered so many drinks, five waitresses came in to deliver them.

Coincidentally, these five were the new staff members.

As soon as they entered the room, they began pouring drinks, and several people in the room couldn't help but stare at them. Someone leaned over to Jasper and whispered, "Jasper, which one catches your eye?"

"They're all average," Jasper replied, taking another drag from his cigarette.

Surprised, the guy blinks.

"What? Are you changing your type now? The girl you brought last time was amazing. You surely know how to have fun." Changing tastes?

Jasper didn't think so..

Lately, he had just grown tired of it all. It seemed like no one caught his attention anymore.

Besides, he wasn't the type to seriously get involved with women in these places. At most, if a girl was good-looking, he'd treat her kindly-like buying drinks and making sure she got a good tip. Because of that, many saw Jasper as a walking goldmine when he visited Mystique. After all, who wouldn't like a generous man?

But tonight, he found everything dull. He stood up to leave.

Just as he reached downstairs, he stumbled upon a commotion.

There were six new waitresses-five had gone upstairs but one was different. Despite being a woman, she insisted on wearing the men's uniform, refusing to wear a skirt.

The owner of Mystique, annoyed with her, had sent her to greet guests at the entrance instead.
