The neon pulse from the West Coast's most infamous club stains the mirror in front of me. I study my reflection: a glittering, rose-pink bikini, sheer fishnets, and heeled blades that climb to my knees. The floor manager's last words still hang in the air—VIP duty. High risk, high reward. My boss tolerates nothing less than perfection; disappointing the moneyed crowd is a one-way ticket out. The evening rush is a breath away. With my makeup immaculate and the outfit designed to dazzle, I draw a slow, steadying breath. Ready to make them feel like crowns rest on their heads, I move toward the velvet rope.
