“Namaskar Gargidevi,” joining his both palms together, he showed his courtesy to the gorgeous Tolly beauty.
“OK….Dhanyabad,” Gargi smiled, “You must be Sujit.”
They were seated at the corner of the hall on a table which was booked by Sujit earlier. They chatted for a long time over salad and chilly-chicken with toast. During the conversation, Gargi realized that he was one of her fan and he had a good idea of her filmy career as well as her family. He was quite skilled at pleasurable interrogation.
At the end of their meal, he ordered the attendant to serve two pegs of light whisky. As they started drinking, he asked her the questions she had really dreaded, but knew were coming.
“Gargidevi, there are a few things I need to ask you. I hope you do not feel offended in any way…”
“Ok, go ahead, I think I know what you need to ask anyway.” She took a good slug of the whisky in preparation.
“Suppose…. you were at the end of a wonderful evening of dinner and dancing. Your client was a true gentleman. .. I mean admirable in many ways. He has treated you like a gracious lady all evening, and now your time together is drawing to a close. Suppose he asked you politely to spend some time alone so that you two could be more…intimate. Do you think you might, if you liked him, say ‘yes’?”
She looked at him as she downed the rest of her whisky in one gulp. She fixed her gaze at his pretty eyes as she said, “Sure, I might be willing to accompany a gentleman to his suite and be alone with him, more intimately, on my own time.”
He smiled, “Very well said indeed, Gargidevi. I think you would be a wonderful asset to our welfare society as our newest associate. May I call you before this weekend and offer you an opportunity to provide companionship to one of our clients?”
Gargi smiled, “Yes you may, Sujit.”
He reached into his pocket and handed her a small but thick envelope. “You look very nice today, but you will need many more newest outfits for your evening adventure just as an aristocratic lady. May I offer you this advance against your future earnings to arrange the latest outfits for your wardrobe?”
“OK, thank you Sujit.. Although I’ve sufficient clothes, I want some ultra modern scintillating dresses to present myself as more attractive and sexy for this purpose.” She took the envelope smilingly.
“That’s wonderful,” he said, offering his arm as they strolled back toward the lounge, and to the valet to collect their cars.
As Gargi’s car was brought up, Sujit said, “I’ll call you tonight, Gargidevi. I think I have an outstanding client who would be very pleased to have your company tomorrow night. Shall I tell him….. you’re free?”
Gargi swallowed hard. This was moving really fast. She took a deep breath as she replied, “Please Sujit, let him know I’d be delighted,”
“Excellent,” said the ever elegant Sujit. “As you’re a novice in this special job, I would like Swastika to assist you with him. OK…. please expect my call with details this evening.”
“Talk to you soon and I think it would be fine if Swastika accompanies me with my debut job,” Gargi said, as she drove off and proceeded towards a huze AC shopping Plaza.
