She also accepted money after spending nights but without a return rides. She liked hiring cabs to avoid anyone visiting her place. Her all pleasantries were confined to good hotels of high standards. She enjoyed watching men and women in good and lovely dresses. She got her dresses designed by self also unique. None ever quarried about style she followed. You could say it to be a mix of modern and classical. She went out in dresses liked by the client which helped her to get more money. She couldn’t tell where she learnt this. Only she recalled a young fellow lesser in age by five years. But the fellow had a melodious voice and often she tried to sing with him, but not much success.
