Today has been a terrible day, like all the others, today hasn't been my day. I've been running from company to restaurants to dinners, leaving my resume, doing interviews, but most important praying that I get a call back informing me that I have a job.

"Anastasia" my land lord calls "I know, I know, I am a month behind my rent..." "And you will pay at the end of the month after Madam Catherine pays you for dancing naked in her brothel" he says cutting me off as he crosses his arms over his chest "I know what you think about me working with Madam Gigi and I know what you are going to say" he has told a hundred times "But I need to pay my bills and dancing in lingerie at Madam Gigi's Brothel does that" I say "And your father will have my head served on a golden tray, because I allowed his precious daughter to become a pole dancer" he says and I roll my eyes to the heavens, I know that my father will not be proud of what I am doing to pay the bills, but as I said they need to be paid "John, I know my father would do that, but I have tried to find a decent job with no luck, I need to eat you know" he sighs "Your father left you a trust fund, something for extreme emergencies, and since you are out of a job, I guess I can give you some money out of it" he says and I look at him "Really? You considered that after been a whole year without a job, now it is a good moment to tell me about my father's trust fund?" I ask "Do you want it or not?" he asks "Yes" I answer "Okay, but before I give it to you I have one last condition" he says and I sigh "I will stop dancing at Madam Gigi's Brothel and focus entirely to find a joy" I say and he hands me a white envelope "I already took the rent, so this is all yours" he says "I will stop dancing at Madam Gigi's after tonight" I say and he looks at me "She gave an advance, so I have to dance if I value my life" I explain and John rolls his eyes "Fine, but no more after tonight" he warns "Okay" I agree as he enter into his apartment.

I hit the play button in my answering machine "You have two messages, playing first message" "Anastasia, it is me your mother, I need you to call me urgently, your father's birthday celebration it is this Friday, almost all the rented rooms are full, and you haven't made your reservation, please call me as soon as you can" when is she going to get it? I don't like my stepfather so I am not interested in assisting my stepfather's birthday celebration, and that's why I haven't called her to make a reservation, do I need to spell it for her? I press the delete button in the answering machine "Message deleted, next message" "Miss Denahi, my name is Vanessa Lee, I am the head of human resources of Venutti Enterprises, I am calling to inform you that a position has opened, and we would like to offer it to you, if you are interested, please come seem me before 10:00 am of tomorrow, have a good evening, Miss Denahi" I stare at my answer machine, I got the job, I can't believe it, I have a job, oh Lord, thank you, thank you, thank you.

"Anastasia, you are up in 5" Madam Gigi announces as I finish applying my make up "Also, when you are done with your performance we need to talk about next month schedule" she adds "Actually Madam Gigi, this is my last performance, I promised a friend that after tonight, I wasn't going to do this again" I say and she sighs "That John is always ruining my fun, but he right, your father will kill us both for not taking care of you" she says "In the other hand, I am thank full you allowed me to earn what I eat" I say and she smiles "Oh darling, you remind me so much of my Maya, and like her you don't belong here, none of my girls do, but not all them have someone to look after them, like Maya and you do" she says as she helps me with my mask "So, like I always say to my girls, if you get the chance to leave this life style, good luck, and I am going to miss you" she says as she gives me a little hug.

"Gentlemen, put your hands together to receive your dream girl, Mystery" Madam Gigi presents as the music starts to play and I start to climb the dancing pole "YEAH!" a man shouts "I love you, Mystery" a second man shouts as I go on with my pole routine.
