Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 708 Go to Mystique Again

With her earnings over the past months, Mandy had made as much as some office workers make in a year. What more could she want?

"Thanks for all the support. I know there's been talk since you put me in charge of Room 303. So maybe it's time to hand it over. Whoever's next in line can take it. It's not that I don't want to manage it anymore, but I don't want to hog the opportunity. Also, I won't be coming next month."

"What?"

Mandy gave a small bow. "I appreciate the chance you gave me. I've saved enough to cover my needs. I want to focus on my studies now."

It was uncommon.

Most women who worked in the nightlife industry found it hard to go back to a simpler lifestyle after getting used to high earnings. But Mandy was different. "Well, it's your choice. Just make sure you won't regret it."

"I won't."

Mandy worked for the rest of the month at Mystique and never returned after that.

Her absence didn't make much of a difference to Mystique.

No one asked where she went.

Not even Jasper.
