"Good morning, Mr. Bennett!"
As soon as Bennett got out of the car, the bank employees in the parking lot stopped in their tracks and greeted him with smiles that were warmer than the morning sun.
Bennett would also greet them with a smile. At first, he wasn't used to it. In the Silver State branch, a small character like him didn't have much of a presence. People wouldn't try to curry favor with him and greet him with a bright morning.
But after coming here, everything changed.
After he locked the car door, he turned around and greeted the person who greeted him. "Good morning, … Sir."
The man who was replaced by six dots was instantly satisfied. His footsteps seemed to have become lighter.
In this atmosphere, he greeted people all the way until he entered his own office.
He felt that if he met a few more people, his mouth would go numb. Also, he recently discovered a very interesting phenomenon. He remembered the names of most of the bank employees.
He had to admit that this was a very magical way of socializing. Just by greeting them, people could remember their names. Sometimes, Bennett couldn't help but sigh. The office environment of this kind of low-level organization was much more complicated than the branch.
Less than a minute after he sat down, his full-time secretary came in with a tea tray. There was a pot of steaming hot coffee and a few small pastries.
His secretary was a girl who looked to be about 23 or 24 years old. She had long blonde hair and a very good figure.
Maybe it was because the bank's heater was on, but the female secretary wearing a woolen sweater had a flushed face. She walked to the desk and placed the tea tray on it.
"Mr. Bennett, your coffee. These are the pastries I made last night. I hope you can try them!"
The girl was a little nervous. A small biscuit-like thing fell to the ground. The girl hurriedly apologized and bent down to pick it up.
Looking at the girl bending down, her skirt wrapped tightly around her buttocks. Bennett's breathing quickened slightly. He picked up the coffee, ignoring the fact that it was still a little hot, and took a sip.
When the hot coffee entered his stomach, not only did it not relieve the heat and dryness in his mouth, it made his blood boil even more.
"Do you need me to help you?"
He asked thoughtfully, and at the same time, he placed his hand on the girl's tightly wrapped skirt. It seemed like he really wanted to provide some help to someone.
He could feel that the girl's body seemed to be trembling slightly, which made him feel a little impudent. He quickly retracted his hand and apologized for his impudence. "I'm sorry, I didn't notice that was …"
The girl blushed and hurriedly stood up. After apologizing, she quickly left.
He looked at the tightly shut door and then fixed his gaze on the coffee cup in front of him. He seemed to have seen something from the slight ripples on the surface of the coffee.
The warmth and softness from before still seemed to reverberate in his heart. He sighed faintly. It was good to be young.
Bennett was only 40 years old this year, but he took good care of himself. He looked like he was only 36 or 37 years old.
In fact, he was already married. His wife was not the result of his free love, but a transaction.
His wife's father was a middle-level manager in the bank. It was through these connections that he successfully entered the bank. However, he was somewhat disappointed that his wife's husband did not provide him with much help after that. His wife's father suddenly collapsed during a business meeting. Although he was sent to the hospital in time, he lost the ability to work.
From then on, Bennett could only struggle in the bank alone. He was not a person who had a strong desire for money. On one hand, his wife's family was very rich. On the other hand, he had worked in the bank for so many years. Whether it was legitimate or not, his income was not small.
He was very clear that if he made a move on money now, he would only get a small amount of money. He could not ruin his future for some money that was not a lot to him.
When his position was promoted in the future, his income in all aspects would also increase. From a long-term point of view, being strict with himself could help him go further.
He did not have any other bad habits, nor did he gamble.
Perhaps it was because his marriage was based on a transaction. At home, he maintained a strange respectful attitude towards his wife, even a little … submissive.
His wife often used the purpose and implementation of his marriage with her to mock him. This made it even harder for him to hold his head high at home. Especially after his wife's father became paralyzed, his wife became a little worse.
This gave Bennett a very special Xiao Ai hobby. When he had enough personal time, he liked to visit strip clubs and have intimate contact with the strippers.
Other than that, he did not have any other bad habits. Even if he had this hobby, it was still legal.
Strip clubs did not provide services. According to the laws of the Federation, there was only a certain process that involved a transaction of money. However, the strippers' behavior did not count because they mostly used their hands or other things. This was not within the scope of the Federation's laws.
That was his only personal hobby, and it was a legal one.
He had never slept with women in the office. Although he knew very well how dirty the banking system was, and the lower the level, the dirtier it was, he did not join it. Instead, he maintained his chastity.
He did not want his future to be destroyed by his own hands because of some small problems. He should have big dreams and a big future!
After missing this little surprise, he began to remind himself not to let desire control his brain. He began to focus on his work.
One document after another gradually made him deeply addicted. He liked this feeling very much. Any document had to be signed by him before it could enter the process. Nominally, he was Joe Griman's assistant, but everyone knew that the moment he got the approval, Joe Griman was already a mere figurehead.
He was the supreme master of this department. What he had to do was to wait quietly for Joe Griman to finish his work in the middle of the year. At that time, he would take over Joe Griman's position. Just thinking about it made him feel excited!
The day's work ended very quickly. Busy people felt that time passed very quickly. He said goodbye to his colleagues and left the bank. Sitting in the car, he could not help but think of his secretary and her round buttocks.
A little evil fire rose in his heart. He needed to relax.
He turned the car around and drove to a nearby strip club with a good environment.
Because of work, his family had not moved here yet. Of course, they might not be willing to move here. His wife had to take care of her father. She also did not want to come to such a rural place to smell cow dung, although there were no cows or cow dung on the streets.
This gave Bennett a lot of free time to do what he wanted. He parked the car, lowered the brim of his round hat, and stepped into the strip club.
As soon as he walked in, he smelled a very special smell, and a smile appeared on his face.
He redeemed a box of change from the service counter. In a strip club, change was a must-have item for everyone. It was very useful.
Then, he randomly chose a stage and sat down. He asked the waiter to bring him some of his favorite alcohol.
Most of the strip clubs had a highly uniform decoration style. First of all, there would be many different stages. Around the stage, there would be a circle of bar tables. People could sit at the bar tables to drink and eat. Of course, more people would throw change to the strippers on the stage so that they could perform harder.
What made Bennett a little uncomfortable was that there were too many people here today. There were more people here than before the strike. There were people everywhere around the tables. The ordinary citizens who reeked of sour and alcohol were drunk and shouting for the girls on the stage to take off everything else.
The noisy environment made Bennett a little unhappy. He was a refined person. He did not want to sit with these people.
Seeing fistfuls of five-cent and ten-cent coins being thrown on the stage, the girl, who was barely wearing any clothes in this cold winter, danced even more vigorously. Soon, she was so hot that she had to take off some of her clothes to reduce her rising body temperature.
After watching for a while, Bennett stood up with the box of money. He walked to the VIP area on the other side, which was much quieter. After showing his VIP card, he came to a hall.
The girls here were all dressed in different colors. Some were dressed in nuns' clothes, some were in police uniforms, and some …
Here, as long as people could pay, the girls could satisfy all the guests' needs.
Just as Bennett was about to choose a girl in a nun's outfit, his eyes were attracted by a girl who had just come in from the backstage.
It was a young girl who looked to be about 20 years old. She was wearing a very common high school uniform. What made Bennett unable to shift his gaze was the girl's appearance. She looked very much like his first love.
After a moment of absent-mindedness, he came back to his senses. After calling out the girl's name, he entered an empty room.
Soon, the girl in the school uniform walked in with a backpack on her back. Her slightly immature face had a heart-wrenching maturity.
"Sir, before we start, there are some settings …" After getting Bennett's approval, the girl began the game. "Do you want me to be a good girl or a bad girl?"
"Who are you to me?"
"How do you want me to address you?"
Bennett, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly became a little expectant.
