Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 57 "Okay."

What Colin was about to discuss concerned the future. "I'm kicking off the Toast of Honor' project in a few days.'

Sherilyn was surprised. "The Toast of Honor project?"

Colin nodded at her. "Yep."

The so-called Toast of Honor project was a gimmick. After all, since it was a dance floor, the real deal was the dance-off. The project was about the Dance Queen showdown at the Neon Nights Bar. Patrons could place bets on their favorite dancer. Naturally, that meant placing bets on the same dancer. So, the reward was that if the dancer you bet on became the Dance Queen, the patron who placed the highest bet on her would get the 'privilege' of having the Dance Queen personally pour them a drink.

Sherilyn got the gist of it but was a bit skeptical. "You think it'll work?"

"Don't worry." Colin was an old hand at that. "Everyone here is looking to blow some cash for a good time. They love this kind of excitement."

He laid it out plainly, "No doubts about it. The Dance Queen will be you. You'll be pouring drinks. I'm just giving you a heads-up so you're prepared. No issues, right?”

"No issues." Sherilyn smiled and shook her head.

She was prepared for something like that since she had come to Neon Nights Bar.

"That's the spirit." Colin was relieved. "Then get ready. I'm off."

Sherilyn smiled. "See you around."
