I Received The First Time Of My Extraordinary Superior (9 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 28

Lisa, the main dancer at Cielo Strip Bar, must have wanted to keep her position.

She lured a fellow dancer to “La Sena Boutique” to extort money from her patron, then exposed the scheme so the patron would expel the colleague from Cielo.

Judging solely by the outcome, anyone would point fingers at Lisa.

But what if Lisa had painstakingly earned that main dancer spot through sheer effort and talent?

Casablanca.

Sydney didn’t really expect Lisa to recognize it.
