Lorelei never would have guessed that the first seemingly decent man she met would turn out to be a goddamn pimp!
Of course, if she'd run into Peary instead, she might already have gone on a killing spree!
Sif's sudden appearance earlier had merely made her feel threatened. But Yad, who wasn't bewitched by her charms, was practically her kryptonite...
Strictly speaking, Yad had noticed most of Lorelei's "assets." It was just that the king of Hell's Kitchen's nightclubs couldn't think about anything except getting her to work the floor...
Women were no problem for him. There were plenty of pretty women around, but a soul who was beautiful, interesting, and willing to work at a nightclub was hard to find!
Looking at Lorelei, sitting across from him with a dark expression, Yad nodded sympathetically and said, "Forgive me for being forward, but dressed like that and trying to get to Hell's Kitchen—
without even a decent car to take you there, I'm guessing you've gotten yourself into serious trouble...
Hey, beautiful, anyone can find themselves in a tough spot, but we can't lose heart..."
As he spoke, Yad gave Lorelei an encouraging thumbs-up and smiled. "Don't give up!
I've got an opportunity here that could help you get back on your feet..."
Lorelei fought the urge to strangle Yad. Her people hadn't made a move yet, and she still hadn't found a good opportunity to approach Alvin herself.
If she got out of the car now, the next person she met might be even worse than Yad...
The unlucky goddess of seduction shook her head vigorously, then curled her lips into a charming smile. Looking at Yad's shining eyes, she asked, "Could you show me around Hell's Kitchen?
I've never even had a chance to see the place..."
