Love Together, Be With You Never

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 clapped 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 blank 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. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Of course!” I composed myself and nodded.

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

She briefly instructed me on the rules and regulations 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 place 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 playfully.

“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!” Summer laughed 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 place and taught me the basics. Then I found

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

“Does that Mr. Charles come frequently?” I thought about last 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. Charles comes every night and each night he will

come exactly at midnight!”

“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 to come

early tonight!”

When I heard about it, I also found it strange that he would come 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

newcomer, 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

glasses and placed one wine glass in front of me.

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

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

I nodded.

“That’s unacceptable. 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 to compensate 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 placed the wine glass 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 temper compared

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

my job well.

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

uncomfortable 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 collapse 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 slapped at that moment, I had lost all of my dignity in front of Marlon.

I wanted to laugh 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.
