I sat on a bar stool a I waited for Riley, I fiddled with the almost empty cup of soda water out of nervousness. My eyes darted left and right as I was getting really impatient but most importantly, I was getting really uncomfortable. This is one of the best hotel with the best bar in Seattle.The loud music, the almost naked strippers, the smoking, was just too much. I was about standing up when I immediately spotted Riley walking towards my direction.
"Riley, where on earth have you been?". I asked and she just smiled.
"I was working pretty". She said "Ok have spoken to lady Betty about you and she will see you in a while so please just wait a bit longer okay?"
"I don't feel comfortable at all". I complained.
"I know but you have to make that money right?" she asked and I nodded hesitantly. "Exactly, and this is your last option right now so just bear this for a while".
I simply just nodded and she smiled again before patting my cheeks and walking away, leaving me all alone. I sighed as I took out my phone to check the time and remind Anne, my niece to take her medicines. I had just finished texting her when I heard an increase of noise in the already noisy area. I glanced but I couldn't see anything through the thick crowd that was just formed in seconds.
After a while, people dispersed to their individual unhealthy business. I turned back to watch the bartender work when a guy came to stand next to me.
"Joe, vodka". He commanded as he used his phone. I couldn't quite see his face very well because of the lightning of the bar.
"Yes Boss". The bartender got back to work. I placed my cheek on my palm with my elbow upright as I thought of my bills, loans and debts.
I was still idling around when someone tapped me from behind.
I looked back to see a beautiful lady in a blue silk dress as she chewed on a gum, she looked quite Young. If I where to estimate, will be talking twenty eight years old. She had short maroon hair, long artificial nails and heavy make up.
"Hey cutie, you must be Jakob Pentara." She smirked at me.
"Um…yes, and you are?" I asked.
"Betty". She said and I immediately stood up.
"Oh…" I folded my lips.
"Let's go somewhere less busy". She said and I nodded as I followed her carefully.
She excluded power, and my thoughts where proven because as we walked up the stairs, people moved away for us to walk through and when we got to the front of a door the bodyguards in front opened it without questions.
Though before we could get in, a lady ran towards us.
"Lady Betty there's a problem". The blonde girl.
"I'm listening". She said.
"…" She whispered some words into lady Betty's ear which I couldn't hear.
"I clearly told Him to get the girls ready". She now sounded really mad.
"I don't know what happened". The girl said and Betty just sighed in frustration and I felt so weird.
I was looking around when I felt a pair of intensive eyes staring at me. I looked behind Betty and there the owner of those eyes stood stood.
"Betty". The voice rang in my ear. It was feeled with authority and for a shock, Betty quivered a bit and her face fell.
"Yes". She answered as she walked towards the shadow.
From my view, it looked like they where arguing or more like Betty was trying to explain herself while the other didn't seem to react or any sort.
I decided to mind my business when I felt an ache on my feet caused by the heels I was wearing. I sighed as I looked around for a possible stool but there was none. Immediately, Betty walked back to me.
"Ostara," she called my name seriously, gone was the fake sweet voice. "You want a job here right?"
"Yes". I said almost desperately and she just nodded thoughtfully. I decided to try and convince her more. "I promise I will serve the customers efficiently and essentially according to whatever they order…"
"What about something else ?" She immediately asked.
"What?" I asked all confused.
"As a waiter over here, you get ten thousand dollars a night but if you agree to do whatever am about to tell you now then I assure you that you'll be going home with an estimate of six hundred thousand dollars ".
On hearing her offer, I immediately became interested but…
"What will that be". I asked cautiously.
"Have sex with our Boss for just tonight". She said and I stared at her for a while before scoffing.
"I came here to apply as a waiter and definitely not a whore or some sex toy". I said. "Thank you for the offer though".
I immediately walked away from her as I went down the stairs in…haste.
