Ana looked seriously worried, but she knew her place. She nodded "Outbid, sure" A huge wave of guilt drifted over her when Aoi continued.. She nodded<br/>" If you feel its a lesson she needs then, as long as she isnt hurt" What was she saying, was she actually condoning whatever was happening? " Sir it's not my place, but shes a good person,  just damaged. She went through a lot before she came here. I just thought you should know." She turned and moved to the tables waiting patiently.<br/><br/>"I'm umm....sorry but Cora is preoccupied. a patron has demanded her presence and has outbid you for her company."<br/><br/>One of the men eyed Aoi dangerously, he knew something wasn't right Cora was always there when they asked and they were more than generous.<br/><br/>"Perhaps we could pay more...Is Cora okay?" He looked around at his colleagues all of whom seemed happy to chip in for Cora.<br/><br/>Ana looked at him for a moment longer than she should have. "Have a good evening."<br/><br/>The man's gaze returned to Aoi, and he waved his checkbook in his direction.
