Rubee was correct about Zara being annoyed at the interruption of her solitude.<em>Too fucking bad, but you are here to work</em>, Rubee thought to herself before nodding at speaking and letting Master Ryan know of Colonel Flashman being given his company with Zara. At least she could not fault the way Zara made great work of pleasing the Colonel and easing his troubles of having to wait forever for her appearance. He looked like he might end up eating out of the palm of Zara's hand. To see that look was always a clincher in keeping a client from walking out because they were asked to wait far too long for their patience. The Teahouse never wanted an unsatisfied customer to walk out of the establishment. For one, the displeasure of one customer could easily turn into more if the first went on to talk about the horrible manners and wait times given to them by the house. With that, the Teahouse could easily lose business and she would be without a job.<br/><br/><em>"Is it acceptable for Colonel Flashman and I to go to my room?"</em>Oh Rubee knew this was not for her to decide. Zara could have taken Colonel Flashman and walked her ass right up the stairs and into her room. Rubee narrowed her eyes and knew what it might be Zara wanted to know. She remembered a client was in her room earlier though the name of the client somehow eluded being seen by her. However, she knew what Zara might want to know. It was not her damn job to know whether Zara's room was ready to be enjoyed by the clients and Zara. She was no maid but Rubee there was the potential to bring in a lot of money with the Colonel. Rubee could only guess the amount of money the Colonel had stored away from his expeditions into war and the money acquired now that it seemed he wanted to spend at the Teahouse. For that, Rubee, kept her opinion of what Zara could do with her attitude and instead threw on a beaming smile.<br/><br/>A passing servant came by and Rubee the male over to her. "Make sure there is a bottle of scotch and some cigars placed into Zara's room for Colonel Flashman and leave some boxes of chocolate. Make sure all is well," she noted to the servant but she could very well bet the servants had already cleaned up Zara's room earlier. Rubee wanted to double check all the while smooth things over to Colonel for having to wait around for Zara. Perhaps Zara would make him happy enough to forget all about wanting and drinking for her to show up any minute. "Zara, it is acceptable and I hope Colonel Flashmen feels at home with you as his company." There were her own warnings to Zara to keep Colonel happy as can be considering he could very well end up being another regular for Zara. Who knows, the Colonel might even shower diamonds and dresses upon her knowing a few of the whores could use a bit of shopping or even mending their outfits for a client.
