“What are the rates you charge…I mean my salary situation would be if I join your Society?”
“Very simply, the Society will charge one lakh per hour and keeps only 10% for it’s maintenance, so that you can earn 90 thousand per hour for your time. When it comes to tipping, the Society will not interfere in that. In other words, what you do or don’t do on your own time after the booked hours is none of the Society’s concern.”
His voice took on a more secret, intimate quality. “Just so you know, I’ve heard rumors of various sorts of tips. Sometimes, I’ve heard the amount of being five to six lakh….which depends mainly on the actress’s celebrity image and identity. But these are only rumors and I have no way of substantiating such claims. Perhaps Swastika Madam could tell you more in detail. Actually the Society didn’t want to involve personally with either the members or with the clients about how they past their time or what they wish to present one another.”
“Wow,” Gargi said, giggling, “You sound like a lawyer.”
“Yes, actually I am.”
“Alright then,” Gargi said, “Would there be a good time for me to come in for an interview with you?”
“How about tomorrow for lunch? I could meet you at the Paradise Hotel, and lunch is on me, of course.”
“That sounds lovely, how about one in the afternoon?”
“I’ll arrange it,” he said, and then he continued. “One last thing, and I hate to bring it up, but it is an important part of the business. Please forgive me for that…you should be looked sophisticated and gracious with your client. So your wardrobe must be packed with modern but sober clothes.”
“Sounds nice…you must have noticed me in parties. I always like to wear modern clothes with aristocratic outlooks,” Gargi said, “See you tomorrow.”
“Oh..sure. I’ve already noticed so many pictures of you in different Magazines and electronic media. Yes…you always look so beautiful in your dresses and I must appreciate your glamourous lookups,” he said and then he rang off.
Gargi could hardly sleep that night, thinking about wearing really great clothes in really great places and making really great money. And maybe, just maybe, having some exciting sex with unknown men she’d only just met…
Even though the thoughts of being an escort intrigued her, at first, she didn’t think of the sexual relation with others as a job, until now. Sounding like fun, she thought only of the entertainment factors, going out to eat, attending shows, and having interesting conversation with someone of the opposite sex.
Now, Gargi could think more about Sujit or about the escort business. She started rationalising about the proposed job. So next day, she had just sent her daughter Pallabi to college and was thinking about her boring life as a neglected actress. Now, thinking more about and confronted with the reality of what was expected of her as an escort, she decided that she could sell herself for any amount of money.
However it made her skin crawl to think about another man kissing her, touching up, and expecting her to give him a hand job, blowjob or to fuck her. Although she had this type of few experiences for attaining the filmy roles, sometimes she couldn’t rationalize the matter of selling herself for sex.
