Ken stared at Vivian puzzled. His mind had gone blank and he couldn't process what was actually going on.
'Heh… what is she apologizing about? Earlier…? What happened?'
Ken started thinking of the reason why a beautiful lady such as Vivian will just apologize to him all of a sudden.
"Um… What do you mean earlier?" Ken asked her, curious of her reason.
"Um… Back when we were still in the elevator, you asked him if I was an employee here, however i didn't respond to you. I felt guilty about it so I knew I had to apologize. Please don't take me as some rude lady, but I didn't reply because I don't usually talk to people I don't know."
Vivian's face had already turned red as if she was blushing, but the true fact is that she felt like crying. But she was able to hold it all in so she doesn't embarrass herself in front of Ken.
'So she is apologizing because of her not replying to me earlier… huh? First of all I didn't ask you if you were an employee here. I already know who works here, so there was no reason for me to ask. What I really asked you, was if it was your first time here.'
Ken had a smirk expression on his face for the time being as he had another thought. "Oh don't worry about it" He said to her. "The truth is I don't really remember it, so don't feel bad about it… okay?" He had a cheerful smile on his face as reassured her.
'The truth is I didn't remember. From the time she said she was sorry, I knew what she was apologizing for. I mean how couldn't I? We have only met for half an hour, so how couldn't I remember such.
"Oh is that right" Vivian responded. "Thank you so much that's a relief." Vivian held her chest as he apologized to him.
By this time a drop of tears was trying to escape her eye, but she immediately brushed it off.
Ken saw this and thought. 'I think this lady is someone who can get broken easily. She was able to produce a tear just from that?" With a smirk on his face. 'I think I will use her to fulfill my first mission… hehe.'
"Now that's done, I hope you have gotten a good understanding of how to clean a glass" Ken asked her with a cheerful expression.
This expression was from the feeling he had. Knowing that he had found his first lady. He knew the work wasn't going to be easy, however, his body was thrilled with excitement.
"Ah… yes I have gotten the idea of it" Vivian responded as she collected both the glass and cloth from Ken.
However, before she could completely collect it from him, her hands touched his faintly, which made him think. 'Is this a sign?'

Ken hurried back to where the table and chairs were stationed. He quickly cleaned all of them and broke the chairs down from the table in a manner for seating.
By this time, time had already gone by and most of the employees had started coming in. And also most of the customers.
The club was getting populated by the hour, and people of all status came in.
Ken looked at Vivian to see if she was doing okay. As he looked at her, he saw that she was surrounded by a few of the employees, mostly ladies.
She had a big smile on her face, as they all welcomed her to their crew. Ken was happy for her, but he didn't really know why.
Was he developing feelings for her? No. He was just glad that she wasn't putting on the depression expression she had on when she came out of the manager's office.
Whatever happened inside there, was to be discovered soon, or so he thought. He just couldn't shake the feeling, that something big might have gone down there. However, that was a topic for him to unfold at a later time, as for now.
"HEY YOU GUYS, WOULD YOU PLEASE LEAVE HER ALONE AND FOCUS ON YOUR WORK. HE CUSTOMERS ARE ALREADY COMING IN!" Ken yelled at those who were clouding over Vivian, prompting them to go back to their various stations.
He looked at Vivian shortly, while she gave him a smile, showing her thanks.
..
Soon the music in the club began to play loudly. The sound echoed throughout the whole place as it came out from each speaker that was stationed at every corner of the club room.
More customers began to flow in as the place got crowded. Ken hurried to the bar area where Vivian was. He then took a bottle of drink.
In this club, most of the things are done in a classic way.
When one wants to have any kind of drink, be it a wine, soft drink, Clover Club, Martini, Whiskey sour, Gimlet and more.
If they don't want to go to the bar to get it by themselves, there is how the employees will know which drinks the customer wants.
From the most the customers all enter the club, there is a section where some cards are placed. This card was called The Colored Card.
This can be worn from their neck. In this card there are different colors. And each color signifies a specific drink.
Like for the Gimlet, the card color was light green. The Martini, was silver, and so on.
With each card worn on each customer's neck, the employees knew which drink to serve each person. This way everything was going to be in a well ordered way.
But of course customers can still go for the bar area to sit and take a drink without wearing any of the colored cards.
..
Most of the employees who were the ones to go and serve the customer are known as waiters.
They were all dressed in black trousers and white shirts a tie and a mini jacket. This was what they wore both male and female alike.
The only exception was the ones who worked at the bar area which were now Ken and Vivian. They only wore an apron over their normal clothes.
..
"Sir there are three requests for a Martini, five requests for a Negroni and seven requests for a Gimlet." One of the waiters said to Ken, after they had observed the color cards on most of the customers.
"Right!" Ken responded as he poured the following mentioned drinks into various glasses, then he placed them on top of traies.
This was done in a quick but gentle manner. Vivian saw how they were all working for fast as each request came in and delivered out. She was amazed by this and Ken caught a glimpse of her excitement.
"They all move like pros…" She said softly. "Don't worry, you will get used to it pretty soon." Ken responded. "Oh sorry did I say that out loud?" Vivian asked as she covered her mouth in embarrassment.
Ken only smiled at her, while he takes a tray filled with a glass of wine to serve. "You just stay here and answer most of the incoming requests, I will be back after I have had all this served." Ken said to Vivian as he left her all alone in the bar area.
He was to deliver special wine for special guests. This was an order from the manger and he had been doing it ever since.
Above the club room, there was another club or rather another area for customers on top of the roof of the building.
This place was only reserved for the classic customers. It costs a lot of dollars just to book a seat here.
The view of the night sky was so beautiful in watching it from this area, which was one of the reasons why it was expensive.
After Ken had finished making his delivery, he went back down to the bar area where he started hearing a voice shouting as he approached.
Immediately he got there, he saw Vivian being dragged on the wrist by a drunk man. Which made her, to scream in pain.
