Chapter 10 Someone Picked Me


    “Mr. Charles!” All the hostesses looked down and stepped backward. Even Cheryl gave way


    respectfully. A path suddenly opened up in the crowded main hall.


    The man walked in and he exuded a chilling atmosphere. Immediately the entire main hall felt cold with


    his presence. Just as I wanted to take a step back, kaboom, another loud thunder pped and the


    lightning lit up the entire hall. I was stunned as the man walked past me and then turned around to look


    at me.


    My mind was nk in the midst of the lightning and thunder. I only saw the bloodshot eyes of the man


    looking devilishly at me. The man had gone upstairs when I came to my senses but I will never forget


    the moment when our eyes met, especially those bloodshot eyes.


    So the devilish man was Kieran.


    Kieran! This name was like a ghost story that I read when I was a kid and had left a deep impression


    on me.


    “Snap out of it. Can you start work today?” Cheryl patted my shoulders.


    “Of course!” Iposed myself and nodded.


    “Come with me!” I went with Cheryl to her office andpleted some simple employment procedures.


    She briefly instructed me on the rules and regtions and then called a girl by the name of Summer to


    show me around.


    I looked dumbfounded at Summer. Summer looked barely twenty years old and had a babyface. She


    certainly looked out of ce in the nightclub.


    Summer could detect my thoughts and smiled radiantly, “Hi, I’m Summer and eighteen years old today.


    I’m not under-aged!”


    I was speechless. Eighteen years old and …


    “What’s your name?” Summer tilted her head yfully.


    “I’m Rachel!” I expected Summer to have some unmentionable difficulties by working here. But when I


    saw her radiant smile I totally couldn’t detect any sadness or desperation which made me admire her.


    “From today onwards, I’ll be your senior!” Summerughed and tapped my arm.


    I smiled and acknowledged.


    When a person lived in difficult environments, the person would protect herself by concealing her


    personal issues. So why should I be overly curious? But I need to learn to smile radiantly like Summer.


    Summer brought me around to familiarize myself with the ce and taught me the basics. Then I found


    out that this nightclub was thergest in the city called YES Club.


    “Does that Mr. Charlese frequently?” I thought aboutst night’s woman who was covered in blood


    and tonight’s disfigured woman. They seemed to be the work of Kieran. I was scared of him.


    Summer answered me with a strange look, “Don’t you know?”


    “Know what?”


    Summer pulled me to a corner and said softly, “Mr. Charleses every night and each night he will


    “But it’s nine o’clock now!” I looked at the wall clock.


    Summer rolled her eyes, “He was early today.” Summer continued but murmured in bewilderment, “For


    so many years he had never been early and came exactly at midnight. It’s so strange for him toe


    early tonight!”


    When I heard about it, I also found it strange that he woulde at a specific time every day.


    “Do we receive all sorts of customers here? Yesterday that hostess was so severely injured. Doesn’t


    the boss care?” I felt uneasy when I thought about the woman who was covered in blood yesterday.


    Summer now looked at me with a strange surprise, “Rachel, what era are you living in? Don’t you know


    that the boss is dead?”


    “Dead?” I looked at Summer with my eyes wide open.


    “Everyone in S City knows about this issue. Apparently, Mr. Charles also knew our boss!” Summer said


    as she became nosy.


    As I was about to ask another question, a woman walked over and looked at me, “Are you the


    neer, Rachel?”


    I nodded.


    The woman handed a bottle of red wine to me and said, “The customer in Room 106 picked you to


    open the bottle of wine!” Before I could react, the woman already pushed me towards Room 106.


    “I...”


    “Take good care of the customer. You’ll be in trouble if you don’t!” Before I could find out what was


    happening, the woman already pushed me into the room with a warning.


    There was a bald man on the sofa who looked around forty years old. He waved me over to him as I


    entered. This was my first time as a hostess and I felt awkward. I actually wanted to turn to leave but I


    got a hold of myself and forced myself to sit down beside him.


    “Don’t be scared, we’ll just drink and chat!” The bald man opened the bottle of red wine and poured two


    sses and ced one wine ss in front of me.


    I totally couldn’t drink wine. Just sipping it would get me drunk.


    The bald man suddenlyughed, “Girl, this must be your first time!”


    I nodded.


    “That’s uneptable. You are lucky to meet a customer like me. If you meet a customer with a bad


    temper, with your hesitation, he would already lose his temper and flipped the table. When that


    happens, not only will you not earn any money, you may have topensate the customer for


    emotional distress!”


    I was terrified by what the bald man said.

    “So now you should take it as training!” The bald man ced the wine ss in my hand and he drank a


    mouthful. I looked at him and took two sips. He was right. He seemed to have a good temperpared


    to the other customers here and since I had decided to be a nightclub hostess, then I should do


    my job well.


    While chatting with the bald man, I managed to drink one and a half sses of wine. I started to feel


    ufortable when the wine started to take effect on me. I excused myself to go to the restroom.


    As soon as I got out of the room, my mind started to spin and my legs, no, my entire body became limp


    and weak. I felt that I could copse at any moment. I leaned against the wall and staggered towards


    the restroom.


    “Rachel, this was what you meant by being pure and dignified?” Suddenly I heard a cold voice.


    My entire body shivered and I reluctantly raised my head. True enough, Marlon was standing in front of


    me and looked down upon me.


    At this time yesterday, I was still denying that I was working there. But today I met him again and it was


    obvious that I had been drinking with someone as a hostess.


    I just felt that I had been pped at that moment, I had lost all of my dignity in front of Marlon.


    I wanted tough but I didn’t because I can’t even stand steadily. I was only able to push myself to the


    other wall and walk around Marlon.


    This man, this was the very man who I loved for four years. I was just humiliated by him twice that day


    but at least I could stand tall with my dignity. But now, I just drank with a customer and was so


    ashamed that I didn’t know where to hide.


    Leave. I just wanted to get away from Marlon immediately.


    Thud!


    Marlon grabbed me and pushed me against the wall.
