Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Flossie didn’t go home after leaving the Guajardo family’s mansion.
The ridiculous incident the night before, coupled with her burned arm, left her feeling a little troubled. Undoubtedly, it had left her in a sour mood.
She decided to only return home after calming down so that Margaret and her children wouldn’t worry.
After calling Margaret to let her know she was safe, she opened her contacts and tried looking for someone she could vent to.
However, apart from Leia, she couldn’t find anyone else.
Thinking about how Seraphina was spoiled by everyone, she suddenly felt a little jealous.
The worst part was that Leia had gone to Tahato for a vacation to get over her recent break-up. She’d only return after two weeks at the very least.
While going through her contacts, she suddenly thought of someone. Her eyes lit up instantly.
“That’s right. I can find him. He’s a professional at this!”
At eight in the evening, colorful lights came on all around the city. The wonderful nightlife in the city had begun.
Flossie had on a pair of black sunglasses and intricate makeup. Looking classy and cool, she walked into The Blue Inn, where women came to be served.
As usual, the atmosphere in the glitzy bar was very hyped.
A group of young women crowded around a stage while they cheered for the hot, dancing men above it.
Flossie looked around the bar. She didn’t see Isaac, the most popular escort there.
She patted the shoulder of a girl who was dancing excitedly in front of her.” Will Isaac be performing tonight?”
“Of course, Isaac is the most popular of the men of The Blue Inn. If he doesn’t perform, how will The Blue Inn make any money? We’re all here for him… These handsome guys are only the appetizer. They aren’t enough to satisfy us!”
Flossie frowned. “Does he dance here every night?”
“He does. It’s quite a tiring job!’ A few other women also joined the conversation.
“I heard Isaac comes from a well-off family. He used to be a top student, but his parents died young, and he ended up dancing out here. He even signed a contract to sell himself to the bar so that he could financially support his younger sister in her studies. He can’t leave even if he wants to

“Ahh. I can only blame myself for meeting someone I want to protect forever at a time when I can’t afford to do it!”
“Isaac is too expensive. I can’t afford to look after him. I can only watch him dance and buy a few more drinks to support him. Aaahhh!”
Flossie couldn’t help but feel a sense of compassion after hearing all this.
“I didn’t expect Isaac to have such a sorrowful background despite being such a cheerful person…” Flossie made a brave decision on the spot.
She passed through the crowd and approached the bartender at the bar.” Where’s your boss? I’d like to discuss business with him.”
The bartender looked Flossie up and down. “You look like a rich woman. Our boss likes people like you the most. I’ll bring you to him right away.” Flossie followed the bartender backstage.
The owner of the bar and a few other men were smoking on a couch.
“Hey, you’re here! Come here. Have a seat!”
The owner immediately stood up and welcomed Flossie when he saw her.
Mr. Guajardo had specifically instructed him to take good care of this esteemed guest. They were always prepared to welcome Flossie, and they had to immediately inform Halston should anything happen.
Flossie had a strong presence. She sat down on the couch and cut to the chase. “I heard Isaac sold himself to you. He can’t stop dancing even if he wants to. I feel sorry for him. He’s still so young, but he’s already stuck here. I can’t bear to watch someone with so much potential wasting his life away… which is why… I want to find out how much it costs to free him.
Name your price!”
“Well…”
The pub owner likely didn’t expect Flossie to be here to redeem the man’s freedom and didn’t quite know what to do at that moment.
“Why are you hesitating? You’re asking them to dance and entertain the customers to earn money, right? So what’s the difference if I make a full payment?” Flossie asked.
She knew money couldn’t solve everything, but it did, at least, have the ability to solve most. At the very least, for greedy businesspeople like these, money was their kryptonite.
“You are absolutely right, Miss Ellsworth. But we’d still have to think about this matter thoroughly. Why don’t you wait for a bit while I discuss this with my business partners? We’ll give you an answer shortly,” the pub owner said and left the room.
Although it was her excuse to leave, she actually was reporting back to Halston.
“Buy my freedom?” Halston seemed intrigued upon hearing this.
After a short pause, he ordered the pub owner, “Tell her it’s possible, but there would be terms….
“I understand! Don’t worry, Mr. Guajardo, we will definitely do as you say.” The pub owner quickly returned to the waiting room after receiving orders.
Flossie was starting to feel quite impatient, urging. “So, how did it go? Can I end his contract or not? Just give it to me straight.”
The pub owner replied, “I just asked our business partners, and they said it’s possible. They even said they don’t need you to pay, but you’ll have to follow a few rules.”
“They don’t need me to pay?” Flossie felt quite surprised.
She thought to herself. ‘I didn’t expect the pub owner to be so virtuous to have let go of such a great opportunity to earn!’
“Tell me about these rules,” Flossie asked curiously.
“Firstly, Isaac is our star escort, as you know. He’s earned our pub a lot of money, and we naturally treat him as family. That’s why you have to promise to treat Isaac well after you’ve bought his freedom. You mustn’t let him suffer in the slightest.”
Flossie raised a brow. “Of course. I can do that.”
She was more than capable of handling another man’s living expenses, after all.
“Secondly, Isaac has… quite a bit of an ego. If you really do wish to provide for him, you still mustn’t force him to do anything he doesn’t like…”
Flossie felt speechless. “Don’t worry, I just felt pity toward him. I didn’t want a young talent like him to be wasted in a pub, that’s all. I don’t intend on doing anything to him.”
“Uhm, that’s actually not what we mean…” The pub owner explained. “You see, Isaac has a habit of wearing a mask at all times. It is to protect the last bit of dignity he has left. So if he is unwilling to take it off, you can’t force him to.’
“No problem. I like it more when he has his mask on anyway,” Flossie replied swiftly. After all, she actually preferred Isaac with his mask, as it gave her a sense of familiarity and made her heart flutter.
“Looks like there’ll be no issues then! Once you’ve signed this contract, Isaac will be yours, and you can do whatever you want with him.” The pub owner said swiftly.
Flossie hadn’t expected everything to go so smoothly. She then happily dialed Isaac’s number, still holding the contract in hand.
“Hey, pretty boy, where are you? I prepared a surprise for you.”
“Oh really? I’m home, but I have to go to work soon.”
“Hold on. I’ll come over right now.”
