Aryan, while thinking to himself, says, "Who can understand the world of the rich better than me? The glitter you see from the outside is as terrifying on the inside. You never know when someone might trap someone else for their advantage."
Looking at John, Aryan says, "Robin, you seem lost again. It seems like you're really missing your love today." Saying this, a smile appears on John's face.
Aryan, dismissing John's words, says, "It's nothing like that. I was just thinking that if you're right, then I also want Mr. Singh to never come to this club again."

In just a few hours, Aryan and John had formed a strong bond. John explained all his tasks to Aryan. At this time, Aryan was serving all the guests with complete dedication because on his first day of the job, he didn't want to disappoint Julie. He wanted to show his capability so that Julie would trust him. Slowly, the evening was progressing, and the club was getting crowded. Boys, girls, and couples started coming into the club. They were dancing to the tunes, drinks were flowing at the bar, and some were lost in the haze of alcohol. Girls were in the arms of boys, and it seemed as if the club's atmosphere had completely transformed as soon as night fell. The lights were shining everywhere.
Aryan goes to the bar counter to get beer and wine glasses, where John was displaying his skills, creating various flavored drinks and cocktails for the people.
As soon as Aryan approaches John, he asks, "How's your work going, Robin? Are you enjoying yourself?"
The loudspeaker's sound was echoing throughout the club, so Aryan couldn't hear John's voice. Seeing this, John increases the volume of his voice and asks Aryan again, "Robin, I asked how your work is going. Are you having fun here?"
This time, Aryan understood John's words. He says, "My work is going very well, and I'm genuinely enjoying it here. I haven't seen an atmosphere like this in a long time. Someone has named this club Moonlight Night, and looking at it now, it truly feels like the moonlight has spread all around. It's a unique place. I'll remember this place fondly after leaving."
John also supports Aryan, saying, "You're right; it really feels like the moonlight has spread everywhere, and everyone is enjoying it here. After leaving here, I'll remember this place a lot."
Aryan says, "No problem. You're just leaving the job, not the country. Whenever you want, you can come back here. And anyway, I'll remember you a lot. It doesn't feel like we met just a few hours ago."
"You're right. I don't feel like I met you today either..." John's sentence isn't completed as a boy approaches him and says, "Hello, mister. If you're done talking, can you get me a glass of red wine?" The boy's tone made it seem as if he had already downed several glasses but still wasn't satisfied with his thirst.
"Aryan tells John that he'll handle things here because of interference between the boys.
John, smiling, says, 'Alright, we'll talk later.' He mentions that special guests are in Room 107, and Ria is taking care of them. After finishing work here, you can help her. Upon hearing John's words, Aryan nods but has a question in his mind. Aryan asks John, 'Today is my first day on the job. Do you think it's okay for me to go in front of the special guest? If I make any mistakes...'
John lightly smiles and says, 'You don't need to take so much tension. Besides, Ria will be with you. If anything goes wrong, she can handle everything easily. She has been working here for a long time, so don't worry.' Encouraged by John's words, Aryan's confidence level rises, and he nods at John before leaving.
Room number 107
In room number 107, there were five people sitting across from each other on the sofa. They had girls in their arms, and Riya was serving them drinks. Riya was dressed in a waiter's uniform, but she still looked very beautiful. Riya had a wheatish complexion. She had tied her hair in a ponytail and was wearing heels. Riya's figure was attractive, and her smile enhanced her beauty even more. After serving drinks, Riya stood to the side and watched the wealthy men indulging in debauchery. It was evident from their faces that they had consumed a lot. One of the men, wearing a brown coat and pants, appeared a bit older and had a protruding belly. He looked like a fat, unsavory character. His demeanor hinted at a certain level of wickedness, and his gaze was fixated on Riya ever since she entered the room.
The man sitting beside him, wearing a white shirt with a dark blue coat and pants, could sense the fat man's intentions. With a sly smile, the fat man asked, "Aren't you looking at her? She's just like that. After all, I'm human too. There's a rose in front of me, and if I don't like it, how can that be possible? These girls in our arms can't compare to her."
Agreeing with the fat man's statement, the man in the blue coat and pants said, "You're right, but you can't do anything with her. She's the staff here, and it's the policy of this place that no guest or customer can misbehave with the staff."
"I don't want to misbehave with her. I want to do something with her with her consent," the fat man replied with a wicked grin.
With a mischievous smile, the man in the blue coat and pants said, "If you think she'll give you permission, you can try asking. But I don't think your wish will come true today."
Riya could feel the man's gaze on her, but despite her inner turmoil, she had to fulfill her duty in room number 107 today. This wasn't anything new for her; she had encountered many such guests before. She had become accustomed to handling such situations, but she also knew that nothing untoward could happen here. That was one of the reasons why Riya had been working at this club for many years.
The fat man, looking at Riya, beckoned her and said, "Waiter, come here..."
Riya, with a slight tremble in her voice, approached the table and asked, "Sir, how can I assist you?"
With a sly smile on his face, the man asked, "How much do you charge for one night? I'm willing to pay double. Just spend a night with me, and I'll give you so much money that your future husband won't be able to match. And besides, if you spend a night with me and don't tell your future husband about it until he finds out himself, I don't think you'll have any trouble accepting my offer."
Hearing the man's words, Riya was taken aback. She tried to compose herself, knowing that she couldn't anger these people at any cost, especially since Julie had already informed her that the clients of room number 107 were special guests today, and there should be no shortcomings in their service. However, faced with such a demand, Riya felt a sense of panic. She didn't know how to respond in this situation.
The man didn't seem to understand Riya's hesitation and asked again, "What do you mean?"
Riya held up the ring she wore on her finger and gestured, saying, "I mean, sir, I'm engaged. I can't betray my love in any way." In reality, Riya wasn't engaged, but she used the ring on her finger as a shield. She had to deal with such people multiple times, so she always kept the ring on her finger to use it as a cover when needed.
The man didn't like Riya's response at all. He said, "So, you're engaged. No problem. If you spend a night with me, I'll give you so much money that your future husband won't be able to match it. And besides, if you spend a night with me and don't tell him about it until he finds out himself, I don't think you'll have any trouble accepting my offer."
Seeing Riya's discomfort, she had no words to respond. She couldn't afford to insult these people in any way. She wanted to leave the room at this point, but even though she wanted to, she couldn't. If she didn't handle this situation carefully, she might even lose her job today. Riya was not willing to give up her job under any circumstances, as the salary she received here was unmatched anywhere else, and her family didn't have such financial stability that she could afford to quit her job at this time.
Riya was struggling to find the right words to say when suddenly, Aryan, standing beside her, intervened. He placed his hand on her shoulder and said with a reassuring tone, "Sweetheart, how are you? I hope I didn't scare you by coming here. You have to handle everything here by yourself."
