>Writer's POV
- 11:30 pm
" A beautiful girl like you is single!??! "
Carlos said surprised, making the girl blush and put her head down to look at her drink.
" Gosh! You are beautiful, attractive and elegant... Let me make you a drink, a special drink that I have never made for someone "
Carlos continued his words with a playful smile, knowing very well that the girl liked him, someone like Carlos who does not like him?
" Are the special drinks only for women or for men as well? "
Asked the man who had sat a few seconds ago next to the lady in a manly, gruff voice. Carlos looked at that man, a young man, to answer him indifferently
" That's right, only for beautiful ladies "
" I want you to offer me the most expensive drink, which this young lady can never buy "
The girl looked at that man with a surprised look, she could not stand it, so she carried her bag and left the bar with anger
" Maaan you are so rude, I bet you have never had a girlfriend, you don't know how to treat ladies "
" Having a girlfriend or not this is not your business, you better get me a drink "
Carlos was annoyed by what the man said, and also because his manner of speaking is not respectful at all
He brought small vodka glasses, arranged them on a tray, and gave them to him
" Vodka was never enough for me, I want something special "
" What do you want ha? you don't look like someone who can afford money to... "
" I want an Ono Champagne Cocktail "
Carlos stopped speaking when he heard the man's request, to look at him in shock
" Sorry what? "
" Oh? you didn't hear me? "
" That will cost 10.000 Euros "
The man looked long at Carlos to ask him in the most strange tone
" So? "
" I...I am sorry I will make it for you "
Carlos stammered from the tension, scratched the back of his head and started mixing the drinks
" What are you doing? this is not what I requested or don't you know the ingredients? "
" I... "
" Can't blame you, you don't sell a drink like that every day "
The boy was embarrassed that even though he is a professional bartender, he can't remember the ingredients
" Sugar, Cognac, Rose nectar, Angostura bitters, Champagne, Lemon twist, is that useful? "
Carlos's face became red because of embarrassment, a customer tells him the ingredients?
" I am embarrassed now... "
" It's okay, tell me, what is your name? "
" Carlos! "
" Such a beautiful name...My name is Miguel by the way "
" Nice to know you Sir "
Carlos smiled as he started mixing the ingredients, but he is still upset...Miguel seemed so freaking arrogant
" Do I look poor? "
Miguel asked while looking at the guy in front of him waiting for his answer, with a weird facial expression
" To be honest, coming to a bar like this one while wearing this type of clothes, you do look poor "
" You don't usually watch Dior fashion shows, you can never recognize that I am rich, man you think that every casual piece of clothing is cheap? "
" I apologize... "
It was at this moment when Carlos died of embarrassment, such a bad night isn't it?
" Tell me, are you interested in working as a security guard, or a bodyguard? "
" No, I like my current job, I usually have fun, people here are nice to me and the manager give me hundreds of Euros "
" Hundreds? making a 10.000 Euros cocktail but only getting hundred Euros? This is not fair "
" It's okay I am fine with it, why are you suddenly asking about it? "
" Are you done? "
" Not yet... "
Carlos was confused about it, he couldn't understand Miguel's acts, the tension was weird. Fact is Carlos' mind kept repeating the same sentence - such a freak -
" Here you are Sir "
They smiled to each other, as soon as Miguel touched the glass he drunk it all in once, what made Carlos upset about it
" I worked so hard on this but you drunk it all in once as if it is a vodka shot "
" Why do you mind? I am paying you for your hardwork too not only for the drink "
Carlos looked confused when Miguel started looking at him in a weird way to ask
" Would you mind if you come with me? "
Carlos stayed silent for a while but as soon as he understood what he meant he said
" Oh.. Sorry...I am straight "
Miguel nodded as he entered his hand in his jacket so he can pay for the drink
" Costs 10.000 Euros isn't it? "
" Yes Sir "
" Take this "
" This is 15.000 Sir "
" I know you can take the 5.000 Euros "
Carlos seemed happy even though he didn't like the guy that much, as soon as Miguel saw him smiling he stood up and walked towards the principal door so he can leave
- 01:00 am
" I want to know everything about him, the location of his house is the most important thing, put this in your mind Pedro "
Miguel ordered one of his guard to bring every information related to Carlos' life, Pedro looked down and said in a voice full of energy
" Yes Sir! "
" Another thing, when you find his house the first thing you gonna do is to buy it without him knowing, is that clear? "
" Yes Sir! "
" And you better start searching from now, because tomorrow will be the day to surprise him "
" I will do everything I can to find all the information, I am at your service "
Miguel took a sip of his coffee arrogantly, pointing his finger at Pedro to go
" Now go "
Pedro bowed for his boss and walked away letting Miguel drowning in his thoughts
Today was tiring for Miguel, working and moving between two cities more than once because of the mistakes of his brother and cousin, how irresponsible they are!
And his father, who expects more giving from him, even though Miguel, works with all his might and does more than he can
Working under pressure is literally the worst thing ever...
