"Lucy… Cherry… Come here" The Boss called them as soon as they had come out of the washroom
"Yes, Boss"
"Yes, Boss"
They both said in unison by bowing their heads a little.
"You see, I have seen you guys working really very hard today, So what I want to say is.." He said and handed them a try full of wine glasses and different kinds of drink in it.
"Since both of your performances were top notch, our manager appointed you to the VVIP section and the salary over there is double '' He said and transferred four hundred Dollars in their accounts and said " This is advance for this hour… Later if you guys worked smoothly, we can give you a little bonus too... " He said and started walking "Come girls follow me"
They both were elated to get a ton of money but they both could sense that something was off and fishy.
In reality, no waiter was ready to go there, A little mistake and your life was gone. All the people there were filthy rich and full of themself. They did not treat the poor as human beings.
The Assistant manager had tried offering them even a thousand dollars but no one agreed. Then, when he saw them and thought the same but he did not want to make it fishy for them and give them 4 hundred dollars in advance and kept the rest to give it when they were done with their work smoothly.
He was afraid that they might also decline his request but he was delighted when they both agreed happily and started praying in his heart that nothing wrong would happen with both of them…
One hour went smoothly and no one made their lives difficult so the Assistant manager transferred the remaining 6 hundred dollars, but since their cell phone was submitted during work time they did not know and the advance amount of 400 was transferred to them for the next hour.
"Hi you… go and get a glass of wine for me" All of a sudden a woman wearing a beautiful night gown called Lucy in a disrespectful tone but since she had no choice other than enduring it.
She did not say anything and went to bring the wine for her.
The girl was the Mayor's daughter and was called Diana Lu. She was arrogant and extremely annoying and never had seen anyone to her level. She loves partying and fooling around with her classmates. Bullying poors and making them beg to their knees for no reason was her favorite act to do.
All this while she had been waiting for Ryan Song to come but since the moment he had entered he had been ignoring her. She was ok since he was not talking to any other women in the banquet until when he started talking to a few of them.
She had been on 9th cloud when he had announced that he was not a gay and he did not want any kind of rumours to hear. But she never would have thought that he would directly ignore her and do as he pleased even though she was the daughter of the Mayor.
She had been fuming mad and was wanting to vent her anger on someone but there were all elite and high class people until her eyes caught a poor waitress, so she had set her target to her.
Ryan was here to clear some rumours and was hardly enduring all the talks with women. He wanted to puke but he was holding back as his grandpa was keeping an eye on him, so he had no chance but to play along. And also he was here with the plan to give a lesson to Miss arrogant, Diana Lu who had crossed all her limits today.
He had been ignoring her all the time and was waiting for the best time to teach her a good lesson.
"Boss… Are we spearing Diana Lu just like that?" John asked with a look of disgust on his face.
"Just wait, I am not planning to let her off that easily" He replied while sipping the drink. He was standing near the counter from where the drinks were being served and Lucy went to the counter and said in a sweet and soft voice " Master…. Can you give me some drinks..? That miss, she asked for it" She was standing pretty too close to Ryan but he did not mind. He did not feel anything so he did not care enough to take a look at her but when he heard the manager’s words, he turned to look at her side " Miss Tang, I advise you to stay as far away as possible. She is known to be an extreme bully"
He warned her and Lucy turned to look at the side.
Ryan was shocked to see that he had been standing near a girl for around 2 to 3 minutes but he did not feel disgust or anything.
He tried to look at her face but since her face was turned to the managers’ side he couldn’t see. But when she turned her face to look at Diana, he was shocked.
She looked so pretty but at the same time cold and tired. She looked like she had been broken from inside and was just living her life because she had to.
"Just give it to me, manager… I am already used to these bullies but if you promise not to fire me and my friend, I will try to take a stand"
She said in a dull but cold voice.
"Fine, Fine… How can I fire such hardworking people… You didn't even rest and had been working continuously.. Where can I get such a good worker" He said and he was serious about it. Even if they can’t keep them here he was ready to transfer them somewhere else.
"Ummm… Just take care of my friend… It’s not like being killed would harm me" She said and left, leaving the Manager in shock ' What the hell? If being killed won’t hurt you then what would hurt you little Miss' He thought in his mind and said to himself by shaking his head
"This girl is pretty hard working but weird… Just like a walking corpse… I pray to God that the witch would not target her "
He said to himself and got back to work.
"Why are you being like this brother?" Lillian exclaimed. She wanted to be with her father but her brother was not letting her be with him."I am not stopping you from doing anything, you can go and see him if you want to," He said, "But do not involve me in this," Rylan said and asked her to leave him alone but it seemed like Lillian was determined not to leave him, since she did not want to be only person to make up with their father, she wanted Ryan to understand and give their father a chance, he deserved it.
Ryan was stunned to see how Edmund took care of his sister. To be honest, he himself would not have been able to take care of her if it were not for him. When they were on their back to Country A, she did not say a word and have kept quite, but the way she talked to Edmund, it made him a little jealous. He wanted to be as close as him with her but she never was this close, or was it because she had always known what he did not Lucy back in the days, that mde her highly depressed that she leave them in end.
“If you want to work, go look for your own office, I want to be alone here.” General Mu stated in his usual strict tone, which made everyone think that he had just threatened their innocent Boss Mu, “Are you not going to talk anymore?” General Mu pointed at the phone. Elison said nothing to him and calmly repeated his question to the secretary, and in response, he was told that they would be arriving any time. But truth to be told, the shareholders had already arrived and they were hearing all the stories that were circulating and decided to hear the problems of the employees, as per the company policy, they decided to hold a hearing in the meeting that was about to be held in half an hour, and as per the rule, everyone in the office present, could see the hearing through the live video. “Do not worry, we will take care of this, and trust me we are taking it really seriously,” Joseph, one the closet and oldest friends of Elison Mu said, “I can never let anyone mistreat my best frien
General Mu was in the office with his brother, he had not been in the business for a long time but his brother, Elison, he kept on arguing him to join the business since he was about to take his once and for all retirement from the arm forces.Elison had argued with him to help him since he was getting old and it was hard for him to take care of all the things, to which Edward (General Mu) had declined him plainly, but when Elison blamed him for taking his son away with him to the services, inspiring him to be a doctor just like himself, and leaving him all alone to do all the work back at home, he just could not take it and agreed to him. And for the last two months, he had been forced to come to the office.Sitting at the chairman’s seat and singing all kind of papers from morning till night, under the eyes of his brother, he just could do nothing and sincerely help him with the business. A rumor circulated in the entire Mu Corporation that General Mu had forcefully acquired the se
Edmund paced to and fro in the room, and thinking about what he should do, if he should wake her up or let her be, but in the end, he walked to Cherry and found her sleeping so he took a chair and waited by his side for her to wake up, but it seemed like the careful sounds he made while walking and picking up the chairs were not careful enough and woke her up. Cherry had been sleeping since the moment she entered, just like Christ, she was given some injections too, to calm down her nerves, which led her to sleep deeply. But since Cherry had a lot of things in her mind that even the injection did not work on her and she had a lot of nightmares from her childhood, about how Lucy had to run, had to pay debts, work four jobs a day, provide for her, and whatnot all her life, that she had tried really hard to forget that it was dancing right in front of her eyes. But when she woke up, Edmund was the last person she had expected to see in front of her eyes. She was stunned to the core that
“I am not really sure, but I think, Cherry is not doing very well, and we might need a psychiatrist for her,” Charles expressed his worries. He knew what Cherry might be feeling, but the problem was that, that she might not want to go to the doctor for her mental illness, she just needed a normal counseling, and given the fact that how stubborn she was, she would never agree to it.“Hi, what are you worried about?" James said as he stood up and patted his shoulder, “Dude, you know what, our big brother Edmund,” He said and smiled proudly, “He is not only a successful businessman but, he also is a good psychiatrist, and he just went to my room to have a talk with Cherry.”“What? I was never told about that!” Charles said in shock. He really did not know about this face and asked how he knew to which James told him that it was Ryan who told him about this when they were on their way back to here, and he was also the one who helped Lucy overcome everything.“So, my dear brother, we need
