Chapter 89 Cristiano

• There is a reason I don't frequent this restaurant or accept an invitation to these kinds of events. But when I do, it's to get some of the girls off the podium and send them away. Most of them have no home to go back to or were sold so simply buying them and releasing them doesn't do the trick. Chances are they might end up right back here. Getting them out means giving them the option to work for me or getting them a new identity.
• That's the easy part especially if it's the former. Being their employer ensures their loyalty is to me and as a result, they won't go running to cops. Releasing them back to the world is always a risk. Even the NDAs they normally sign don't guarantee they won't tattle to a LEO. Nev thinks one of them will end up ruining us and is always telling me to look away but I can't help it.
• Unfortunately, this is not something I can stop. At least not alone. It would be easy to close this restaurant down but another one will just pop up somewhere else and continue with business as usual. They might even hide the location so that only a selected few know about it. Leaving them alone means I can walk in and buy a few their freedom. I'd like to think that is better than nothing.
