RISE OF EROS

Andrew and Alfi chatted for a couple of hours while eating and drinking some wine. They talked about the cost of renting the Heavenly Palace, the number of guests, the courtesans, the food, and the liquor, among many other details.

Since Andrew could not close the premises from one day to the next, it was established that the party would take place in a week, thus allowing the Heavenly Palace to prepare well and notify its clients of the closure of the establishment for that day, so they wouldn't waste time going and finding the business closed.

The negotiation was short, fast, and pleasant, Alfi did not have many requirements, he just wanted his friends to have a memorable experience and since he was a newbie at it, he left everything in the hands of Andrew and his staff.

After finalizing all the negotiations, they remained eating, drinking, and chatting about unimportant topics. There Andrew learned that Alfi had been more proactive with women and even had some unofficial partners with whom he had fun.

Upon learning this, Andrew didn't know if Alfi was lying or not, because it seemed incredible to him that a man with Alfi's personality would change so suddenly just by having sex once, but he didn't mind looking for the truth either, he just continued the conversation.

Time passed and soon Andrew had to say goodbye, he had to return to the Heavenly Palace to organize the new courtesans, although it was true that Carolina and Helena could take care of that, Andrew was the boss, so he had to meet with them.

He said goodbye to Alfi and returned to the Heavenly Palace. When he arrived, he asked Victor to call Helena at the office. In the office, Andrew and Carolina were discussing the new courtesans when Helena arrived.

"Tell me, how are the new girls? Have they settled in yet?" Andrew asked after a brief greeting. "They are already installed. I just chatted with them a bit, they don't have a lot of experience, but they aren't virgins either and they seem dedicated, with a bit of training they'll be fine," Helena replied.

They chatted a bit among the three of them, not only about the new courtesans but about the operation of the business. Helena explained to them how she would divide the training of the courtesans, which did not have many variations, she only changed the practice time for their roles.

She explained to them that she would use 3 days to train the roles, another 3 days to train their pleasure skills, and one day off. Carolina and Andrew agreed with the plan proposed by Helena, so they agreed to let her work freely.

After Helena left, Andrew told Carolina about his meeting and deal with Alfi. Although she did not know him, Andrew told her about how he had come in disguise some time ago and Carolina remembered the event of Johan's first visit.

Andrew did not worry that Carolina leaked the information since she was the person he trusted the most after Fluffy, although the latter was not a person, even so, he warned her not to say anything, to which she agreed.

After explaining all that, they began to plan how the event would take place. While it was true that they could simply let the courtesans handle the situation, some preparations still needed to be made.

After two hours of discussion, everything had been decided and then Carolina left the office to continue her duties since they were close to opening time for business.

The new courtesans were not scheduled to serve today, but Helena felt that it was necessary for them to get used to the atmosphere of the Heavenly Palace quickly, so she had them put on waitress costumes and watch the older courtesans work.

The women in the houses of Madanes were clear that they were "Hired" to provide comfort and pleasure services, so they did not feel any discomfort when entering a house of pleasure.

Soon night came and with it the first clients. The new courtesans quickly began to observe how their older counterparts performed under Helena's leadership and before long they were amazed.

Their expressions weren't much different from those shown by Helena the first time she witnessed this scene. Their surprise was not only because of Sonia and the others' ability to get a client quickly but because of the number of clients the Heavenly Palace had.

For them, that was good news, because the more clients they had, the more money they would earn, and since they knew thanks to Helena that Andrew was a generous man with his courtesans, they knew that they would receive their share of the money from him.

Their excitement was not unjustified, for a courtesan was no different from a normal employee, the only difference was that they were forced to work for a debt, and their services involved selling their body, but that did not bother them, as long as they were treated well and received their share of the profits.

To the general public, the courtesans were harlots, but that was just false propaganda to appear prestige and dignity because if that were real, the nobles and wealthy of the city would not be the biggest patrons of these establishments.

There were even courtesans who, thanks to their beautiful appearances and great skills, were more coveted and admired than many noblewomen, therefore it was quite a strange profession.

The night passed without incident and at dawn, everyone returned to rest. This time, Andrew and Carolina didn't stay up all night like the night before, they just went to sleep holding each other.

It wasn't like they couldn't have sex every night, they just didn't feel like it today and just fell asleep. The next morning after breakfast, Andrew gathered all the staff together to report on the private party.

"In a week the Heavenly Palace will have a private party for a group of wealthy and noble youths from the city, therefore we must prepare properly," Andrew began his speech.

Andrew paused to look at the serious expressions of his staff and continued, "Helena, I need you to train the courtesans properly for these clients, as they are very important. Hector, I would like you to make a slightly more refined menu. If you need a specific product, let Carolina know".

Helena and Hector just nodded their heads showing their understanding and Andrew went on to say, "Victor I need you to inform our clients of the event so they know we will be closing that day and I hope you will help with the logistics that day. Carolina, we also have to get our hands on a good quality liquor, you should visit the Flor de Cerezo store".

These two also nodded in understanding of their obligations, so Andrew focused on Carmen who was now the head maid, and said, "Carmen I hope there will be a deep cleaning for that day and coordinate with Carolina for the decoration of the room, and finally Oliver the security of that day has to be perfect".

After receiving their orders, everyone left to carry out their activities. Helena met with the courtesans to start the practice, Carmen and her team to clean the place, Victor returned to the reception, Hector to the kitchen with his assistants to plan the new menu and Oliver to establish a security plan for that day.

Carolina had not yet gone out to buy the necessary products for that day, as she needed to wait for Hector to tell her what materials she needed, so she continued with her regular tasks.

On the other hand, Andrew went back to the office and called Fluffy immediately. Since he had obtained some points, he bought the sewing skill and some clothing designs.

Because he didn't have many points, he was only able to buy two clothing designs, the advantage is that, unlike the pharmacology skill, sewing allowed small changes to the designs at Andrew's convenience.

The designs he bought were nothing special, but they were essential to enhance the image of the Heavenly Palace employees. The first was a uniform for administrative and logistic staff and the second for courtesans.

The first was the design of simple and elegant pants with a long-sleeved shirt and a sleeveless vest that provided a feeling of elegance and neatness, the best thing was that the design could be considered unisex, so it could be used by men and women without problems

Although it wasn't the most appropriate outfit for Carmen and her team physique and job as maids, they would have to put up with it for the moment, since he didn't have enough points to buy a more suitable design.

The design of the courtesans was a bit more versatile, as it was a kind of flowery and thin dress with dark tones. The advantage was that he could make it shorter or longer and change the patterns and colors to his liking, as long as he kept the essence of the design, so he could make one for each courtesan without them looking like the same dress.

After buying this, he called Carolina and gave her a list of materials to make them and although confused by the list of materials, Carolina did not ask and she went out accompanied by Oliver to do the shopping.
