Beloved Old Lover

When the street lights turned on, Emily left the sewing machine, went into the bathroom, and prepared to go to the pub.

This afternoon, she calculated the amount of money she would save after a year of working. She plans to use that money to open a tailor shop specializing in fashionable clothes for men and women.

Of course, that will also be the place to launch her designs, limited in quantity.

After closing the door, she picked up her bag and ran quickly to the black car that was waiting.

Kurt lowered the windshield and winked, signaling the person outside to come in quickly.

“Living here is extremely beneficial, I don’t have to spend money on meals and I don’t have to spend money on taxis.” She took a deep breath and spoke up, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the car.

“So you must quickly get rich. If you’re still poor at the end of the year, it’s your fault.”

Emily smiled at Kurt’s joke. Although he was joking, his face was no different from that of a criminal police officer, very serious and emotionless.

Sometimes she thought that his nervous system was not neat. She remembered during lunch that day, his sister-in-law told her to move into their house to live happily, without needing to rent a separate room to waste money.

At that moment, he was startled and dropped his spoon, then quickly told his sister-in-law not to teach others the habit of dependence.

At exactly seven o’clock in the evening, the door of the pub began to open slightly and the tall, elegant-looking security guys in dark suits quickly stepped into position. Seeing Kurt approaching, they simultaneously bowed to him.

Rollo opened many pubs and restaurants on the north side of the city, but Paradise Pub was the most profitable.

Before Kurt took over management, the business situation was also moderate. But since he came and changed the layout, decoration, room editing, staff classification, and improved service, customers including the rich and super-rich have also chosen this as a place to relieve stress.

Emily quickly changed into her uniform and then started working. Today, she is not in charge of being on duty in the rooms but serving customers in the main lobby area.

Groups of customers walked in one after another and soon, the moving space became cramped.

Expensive bottles of wine are placed one by one on trays for the waiters to bring to the customer’s table.

“Emily, a customer at table number twenty-nine ordered an extra portion of fruit and five grilled dried squid. Please tell the chef for me. My stomach hurts so much, I have to go to the bathroom urgently.” The girl held her stomach with one hand, handed the empty tray to Emily with the other, and said.

“Alright. Let me.”

Emily quickly moved to the kitchen and asked them to cut fruit and grill squid. Today, many female customers came in, so the food sold very well.

Men drink more than they eat, while women drink a lot and eat a lot. Fruit and grilled dried squid are always their top choices.

Although this place serves many dishes, almost everyone orders these two dishes first.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The fragrant smell of grilled squid made Emily crave it a little. She asked someone working in the kitchen to grill her a dried squid when the restaurant was about to close so she could take it back to her room to eat.

The dried squid here is very big, one is the size of an adult’s hand, and the meat is thick and soft, chewy, and very sweet. Since trying to gain weight again, she has a habit of snacking late at night.

“Done, a plate of fruit and five grilled squids.” The woman put down the tray and said.

“Table number twenty-nine.” Emily informed the staff in charge of payment as she passed the counter and quickly brought the food to the lobby.

When she first came here to work, the flashing multicolored lights made it difficult for her to see the aisle and move, but now she is used to it so she quickly approached table number twenty-nine.

After putting down the food, she immediately put on a pair of plastic gloves and tore off the dried squid for the customer.

This rule of tearing dried squid at the table came into effect from the day a fat customer ordered grilled squid and it was shredded by the kitchen staff.

But when the dried squid was brought to the table, he said that the kitchen staff had already eaten several pieces.

Then the waiter must put each piece back together to prove that the dried squid is intact.

To be honest, not all rich people are liberal and do not calculate details.

“Oh my god, look who’s here. Before, you were shopping for a diamond ring, but now you’re going to the pub to work?”

Emily’s movements paused slightly when she heard Jennifer’s familiar voice. However, immediately after that, she continued her work at a faster pace.

She didn’t know if there was a positive or negative pole between her and Jennifer, but why did she bump into this girl everywhere she went?

In life, if she wins, she will be the king, if she loses, she will be the enemy. She understood this so she didn’t want to explain anything to the stubborn girl. This is where she works, she doesn’t want arguments or noise.

“Done, I wish you a delicious and happy meal.” Emily took off her gloves, stepped back, and bowed her head.

People often say that if you want to know if a person is good or bad, look at their friends.

Jennifer’s group of close friends are all rich, indolent young ladies who rely on their parents, siblings, and enormous wealth and always like to step on others when they see them in trouble.

“Wait a minute, pour us some wine.” A girl in the group spoke up while chewing a piece of squid.

“Yes.”

Trying to suppress negative emotions, Emily picked up the expensive bottle of wine and carefully poured it into each glass.

The crowd laughed and scrambled to make fun of her, but she tried to ignore everything.

However, the more Emily ignored everything, the angrier Jennifer became. There was no her brother here, and there was no Kevin, so she wanted to vent all the frustration she had endured on this mortal enemy.

Jennifer guessed that perhaps Daniel’s death had caused Kevin to break off his relationship with Emily, otherwise, how could she lower herself to work here?

“Look, her halo is borrowed from someone else. If she doesn’t stand next to a rich man, she’s nothing more than a moldy chopstick.”

Malicious laughter rang out right after Jennifer’s words. Emily still patiently poured wine into the last empty glass.

However, as soon as Emily put down the bottle of wine, Jennifer raised the glass and intentionally spilled it on herself.

“Don’t you know how to pour wine? Why fill the glass like that? Do you want to quickly pour out all the wine?” Jennifer shouted.

“Hey girl, you threw the wine on yourself. Don’t do childish things like that.”

Emily really couldn’t hold back her anger anymore when this person kept deliberately aggressive towards her.

She is indebted to Brian, but that does not mean she has to endure being falsely accused by his sister.

“What? Why is there a service staff blaming the customer?”

Jennifer screamed and threw several unopened bottles of expensive wine onto the floor, causing them to shatter.

The noise immediately attracted attention, and a few nearby customers hesitantly put their feet on the chairs, looking at the scattered glass shards.

The waiters’ faces turned pale and they quickly ran to find a manager to solve the problem. One of the fragments hit Emiy in the leg. She pursed her lips, enduring the painful feeling.

“What’s up? I’m the manager here.” Kurt approached, pulled Emily behind him, and asked.

Jennifer’s friends simultaneously covered their mouths with their hands and widened their eyes to look at the handsome man like a supermodel.

Next, they took turns saying Emily’s service attitude was too poor, not talking when customers started talking, looking down on customers, pouring too much wine, and finally, they said she carelessly dropped several expensive bottles of wine.

“If you feel that our service is not good, please go somewhere else. But before you go, please pay for the food and the bottles of wine, then apologize to our staff.” Kurt calmly offered a solution that only he could think of.

“What? Are you insane? I don’t pay. We haven’t eaten anything yet, the wine bottles were broken by her, she also hurt our spirit, your restaurant should compensate us.” Jennifer rolled her eyes and continuously pointed at Kurt’s face.

Emily was about to move forward to argue but Kurt stopped her.

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Jennifer thought she had won, so she told her friends to go to another bar to continue playing.

However, as soon as they took a few steps, they were stopped by a group of security guards.

Finally, the whole group was escorted to an empty room by several tall and muscular guys.

The cleaning staff quickly cleaned up the mess so everyone could continue having fun and drinking.

“What are you guys doing? Arresting people illegally?” A girl screamed as soon as she was thrown inside.

“I don’t want to affect other customers’ drinking pleasure, so I brought you here to talk. How? Payment or not?” Kurt elegantly rolled up his sleeves while talking.

“I won’t pay, the service is bad and you still ask for money. Do you know who I am? How dare you arrest me? I’m the daughter of the president of GE corporation. Do you want my dad to flatten this ant-sized pub?”

Hearing her reveal her family background, Kurt remained calm as if he didn’t care where she came from.

He waved his hand to a security guard and told her that he would hand this matter over to the police to handle because who was right and who was wrong, just extract the rice-powered camera and the police would know right away.

Hearing him say that, Jennifer panicked and quickly told him to give her the payment slip but still firmly said that she did not apologize to Emily, only paid.

“Because I was unlucky, I walked in here by mistake. Please give me the payment slip.” She shouted when she saw the man keep looking at her and not responding.

As a result, ten minutes later, the police took them all into a public service vehicle and took them to the police station.

Pubs in particular and entertainment venues in general operate under police control. They will be the ones to resolve conflicts that occur during the business process of these establishments based on the principle of respecting and following the law.

After taking statements from several people sitting near table number twenty-nine, the police officer asked the girls to sign a record, admitting their unsightly behavior.

Next, he asked them to call their relatives to come to guarantee them, otherwise, he would lock them all up.

The police officer knew that these girls had plenty of money and could compensate the pub for the losses they caused without blinking an eye.

However, he wanted the girls’ families to know so they could teach their children, not cause trouble, and then take out money to end the matter.

After giving Emily a look full of hatred, Jennifer reluctantly took out her phone and called Brian, telling him to go to the north side of the city to take her home.
