Episode 2

The man looks Carmen up and down, then makes a gesture of disgust.

"Do you eavesdrop on conversations?" he asks sharply.

She enters the bathroom and firmly closes the door.

"You're desperate to get a girl, aren't you? Tell me how much money you're willing to pay for the one I have under my responsibility," Carmen says, sitting on the bathroom counter and crossing her legs.

"I don't think you can offer me anything interesting," the man responds with displeasure, then walks towards the door. "I am a very important man to waste my time with you," he says, and opens the door.

"Her name is Nicol, and she is a virgin," Carmen says, taking out a cigarette and sensually lighting it.

The man stops and observes her.

"Are you interested? The point is that you need a woman and I need money," Carmen takes a deep drag from the cigarette and blows the smoke almost in the man's face.

"What assures me that this girl hasn't been touched by any man?" he asks intrigued.

"It's simple, she does whatever I want. If I tell her to clean the floor with her tongue, she does it. That brat is a virgin because no one has even kissed her," Carmen replies.

"Is she that ugly?"

"For me, she's hideous, but what matters is that she's a virgin, right?"

"Are you prostituting her?"

"I've been tempted, but I haven't gone that far. So, do you want to make a deal with me or not?"

"Where can I see the girl?"

Carmen smiles maliciously.

"She's at home," Carmen lies. "You can come to my house first thing in the morning to see her," she suggests, finishing her cigarette.

"My name is Miguel, give me your address," he orders, and she obeys.

After Miguel leaves, Carmen is alone in the bathroom. She looks at herself in the mirror and says,

"At last, you're going to be useful to me, you damn bastard." Carmen laughs maliciously, then exits the bathroom. When she arrives at the bar, Nicol is cleaning the tables.

"I hate you, I hate you. Before, I hated your existence, but now knowing that you're worth something almost makes me like you," Carmen laughs and prepares to work.

"Ah, she's too tired!" Nicol whispers and glances at the customers. She wishes the night would quickly pass so she can go home and be in her room, the only place where she feels good.

Nicol approaches a table because the other waiters are busy, and it's her turn to take care of the one with three girls and two boys.

"Good evening," she greets nervously.

"Watts! What an awful waitress," one of the girls mocks, and Nicol swallows hard.

"What would you like to order?" Nicol asks, focusing on her notepad.

"Bring us five martinis, but hurry up," one of the women orders, displaying an odious attitude.

Nicol hurries to fulfill the order and then waits to deliver it, but she is very afraid. Socializing is not her strong suit.

She places the tray on the table and prepares to serve the martinis to each person.

Nicol was about to leave when she is told, "Who said you could leave?" It's the woman who has been making Nicol feel bad since she arrived.

"Do you need... anything else, miss?" Nicol asks without looking into her eyes.

"Yes, this," the woman says and throws her martini in Nicol's face. Everyone at the table starts mocking Nicol.

Nicol feels incredibly humiliated, but sadly, she is used to being the nerdy girl who gets stepped on.

"Oh, are you going to cry?" the mocking woman asks, and Nicol keeps her gaze low. "Quick, bring another martini, fifth-rate waitress."

Nicol nods and quickly leaves. Carmen, who witnessed everything from a distance, mocks Nicol's misfortune.

The poor girl comes back to the table with the martini, and upon realizing that they don't want anything else but to mock her, Nicol heads towards her locker.

She starts crying like a little girl.

"Why doesn't anyone love me? Why does everyone want to hurt me?" Nicol speaks to herself amid deep sobs.
