Chapter 12
“Yeah.” Sherilyn nodded. “Got it.”
Seeing the look of disdain on his face, she quickly added, “I’ll open the windows to air out the ce.
There won’t be any lingering smells, and Ill clean up the kitchen, too.”
“You?” Gilbert smirked disdainfully, “You can’t even boil pasta properly. And now, you’re going to
clean? Don’t bother. We’ll wait for the cleaning service tomorrow.”
With that, he turned and walked upstairs.
Finally, Gilbert was gone. Sherilyn exhaled in relief and settled back down. The cold and
unappetizing pasta on her te looked even
worse.
Without showing any emotion, Sherilyn picked up her fork and resumed eating. Before long, she
had finished the pasta.
After airing out the kitchen and tidying up, Sherilyn Hopped on the living room couch.
The guest room? There was no need to bother, lest heined about her leaving behind some
nasty smell again.
She would start looking for a ce to stay the next day. Just roughing it out for a couple of days
wouldn’t hurt.
Bright and early the following moming, Sherilyn was already up and out before Gilbert came
downstairs.
She needed to urgently find a job and a ce to stay. Having mapped out her route the night
before, she headed straight for the bus stop and took the subway. Her destination was the Neon
Nights Bar a hotspot in Sunhaven for entertainment.
With a background in contemporary dance, Sherilyn was there to apply for a dancer position.
Everyone in Sunhaven knew that the Neon Nights Bar had a bit of a risqué reputation, where the
wealthy splurged for a good time
But Sherilyn wasn’t afraid. She was there to earn her keep and showcase her talent, not to do
anything shameful.
At the Neon Nights Bar, as Joyce Cooper had instructed, Sherilyn looked for a manager named
Colin.

Since it was daytime, the bar wasn’t open, and she soon met Manager Colin.
“Hello, Colin,” Sherilyn greeted, poised and confident.
“Hello,” Colin responded with a nod and smile, “You’re the one Ms. Cooper mentioned. What’s your
name again?”
Sherlyn introduced, ‘Sherilyn, Sherilyn Gomez.”
“Ah, right,” Colin said, eyeing her appreciatively. Being a friend of a friend and seeing her attractive
appearance and figure, he was already inclined to give her a chance. “Sherilyn, you’re hired.”
Sherilyn’s eyes lit up. Even with Joyce’s referral, Sherilyn didn’t expect things to go so smoothly.
“Thank you, Colin.”
“Don’t mention it Colin waved off, “A rmendation from Ms. Cooper? I’d be a fool to refuse.
Plus, I have a hunch you’ll be a hit here at the Neon Nights Bar
He continued, “Let’s get your measurements for your costume and get you ready to debut. How
about this Friday? It’s a busy night, perfect for your first performance”
“No problem,” Sherilyn quickly agreed. How could she have objections?
Colin was pleased. “Great, it’s settled then.”
Sherilyn smiled. “Thank you,
Colin.”
After leaving the Neon Nights Bar, Sherilyn pulled out her phone to call Joyce.
The call dropped after two rings, but soon after, Joyce called her back.
“Jesus!” Sherilyn chuckled as she answered, “Why do you always do that?”
She was referring to Joyce hanging up and calling back.
“What do you mean?” Joyce’s voice came through as sheughed on the other end of the phone,
“International calls are expensive. just trying to save you some money. Isht that nice?”
“Hmm.” Sherilyn pressed her lips together in a thin line. Gratitude was evident in her voice. “I know,
Joyce, Thanks for everything, especially for the job.”
“You got it?” Joyce sounded surprised but thrilled. “I knew it! You’d nall it. Don’t worry, I’ve got your
back here”
Since international calls were pricey, they kept it short and sweet before hanging up.

Next on Sherilyn’s list was finding a ce to live.
She visited several locations, but none were to her liking. The apartments were either too expensive
or, if affordably,
neighborhoods.
