Once she was sure the client Flashman would be comfortable by the drinks and the cigars thrown his way while he waited for Zara, Rubee walked alongside with Cameron. "There are things in this household you have to get used to quickly, Cameron. No one here is going to hold your hand right out of the gate. If you want to make money in this establishment you must not let rejection show in your face and you need to be more aggressive in your selling tactics." She might not be a whore but Rubee knew ways to sell certain items to the masses. When she helped Santiago, she had to be cut throat and almost like a shark looking for fresh blood in the water. For Cameron, he needed to grow a pair and be more aware of how to sell the better parts of himself to the client while withholding items such as his expressive features from getting in the way of a new client. His expressive features were better suited in showing the pleasure of being taken by a client than being upset over not being picked from the line up.<br/><br/>"You need to have a stronger back bone if you want to work in this place. People will say the worst things to each other. You saw my own reaction to that...thing Anel," she answered, a slight sneer appearing on her lips before wiping it away to keep an eye on the other individuals in the room. She was going to wring the neck of the messenger and have his ass fired before the end of today. "Look, all you need to do is try to get a client who wants certain needs from you. Try to pick out those who you think enjoys the company of other men. I believe within a few moments you can see whether the client wants you or someone else. If they choose someone else, at least learn from it and even read some books on pleasing someone in the bedroom. You do know your way around a human body, Cameron?," Rubee asked before her attention went towards a frantic servant who walked up to her. The way the servants were being spooked, it would be quick work to hire new ones to replace the jittery old ones.<br/><br/>"Miss Zara is playing the piano and you said to...come in case she appears." Rubee nodded, telling the servant to continue with their duties. "Cameron, you can wait here. I merely have to introduce Zara to the new client Colonel Flashman. Try not to pout too much," she went for light humor and hoped he would not show his discomfort right on his face. She held up a finger to showcase for him to stay before making the short strides to follow the directions and listening to the notes of the piano as Zara made good use of the black machine in the lobby. Rubee should have realized Zara's presence but her focus was on trying to get Cameron to listen to wise words ignored the surroundings around her. Rubee needed to be careful unless she wanted someone to take her unawares. At least the music of Zara's playing brought the Colonel Flashman over which would make quick work of introducing the two and letting them head over to Master Ryan to negotiate terms.<br/><br/>Clearing her throat loudly, Rubee nodded to Colonel Flashman before turning to look at Zara. There was an air around Zara and she could only predict the outcome would not be in her favor. She had to deal with Anel but at least with Zara, there were ways to keep another verbal argument from happening in front of a client. "Zara, this is Colonel Flashman. Colonel, this is the lovely and talented Zara who you were recommended to highly by your friends," she announced, hoping the ego stroking would keep both parties from reacting harshly to the interruptions. "I am sure Master Ryan is in his office and would welcome negotiations for Zara's wonderful company." Rubee had to try to keep on a bright face and not show off that anything was wrong in the Teahouse. Appearances were everything in this place.
