A delivery driver noticed it first and mentioned it casually during lunch with colleagues. Soon, neighbors began reporting similar noises too. The nosy delivery driver finally worked up the courage to peek through a crack in the door one evening.

When asked about it, the manager smiled mysteriously and said, ‘It’s our secret way to keep the dolls entertained.’

Shaking his head, he drove off, but later that night, another neighbor claimed to see the same figure waltzing along the balcony. The next day, when Rebelle by Tootsies opened its doors, everyone found out it was just the new bartender practicing her moves for an upcoming dance competition.

As he approached, a regular customer emerged from one of the treatment rooms, humming contentedly. ‘Morning!’ she greeted him brightly.
