Chapter 2 Interview

Alice looks at herself in the mirror and almost doesn't recognize herself. Jake helped her style her hair, put some make up on, and Pam took her to get an outfit for her interview. Alice has always been beautiful in her own eyes. Having long wavy brown hair, dark blue eyes that seem like they look into your soul, a small button nose, thick full lips, and a curvy body. Her cheeks are kind of sunken in and dark circles under her eyes and not at full of a body as a normal person but that is due to lack of nourishment. But once she starts working she can finally eat right and maybe start looking normal again. Jake looks to Alice "Alice you look amazing. They would be crazy not to hire you." A blush forms on her cheeks and she smiles. "Thank you. I haven't felt or looked this beautiful in a long time. Now it is definetly time to put the past in the past and look forward. I can't believe you were able to transform me with what little we had." Alice tells Jake. Smoothing down her clothes, she takes one last look at herself. She smiles at Jake and his parents and tells them "Thank you guys for everything. Wish me luck. I will call when the interview is over and let you guys know the game plan." They all tell her good bye and good luck. Alice walks out of the door and to the bus stop to get a ride where her interview is at.

After riding the bus for fifteen minutes she exits and get on another bus to go farther downtown to the club where her interview is being held at. Weird she thinks but who knows maybe its a rich club owner and they are hiring for their house or hotels. Exiting the bus for the finally time she starts walking towards the nightclub called Lush. Seeing the outside she already knows she's out of her element and tries to take deep breaths to calm her nerves. Looking down at her outfit she grows nervous. Wearing her hair half up and half down and little waves to give it some texture and some light nude makeup. And a white button up blouse that is tight fitting tucked into a grey pencil skirt and some black flats. She didn't think she looked boring until arriving here at this posh upscale nightclub. Even with it being before club hours you could see the people walking by and workers walking into the building. But putting a brave face on she walks towards the doors. Only to be stopped by a big, muscular man who has an ear piece in his ear. He asks "What's your business here? I've never seen you before and I wasn't giving instructions to allow anyone in the building that isn't preapproved." I state very proudly "I'm here for an interview with Max for a housekeeping position. I was told to arrive by eleven. I came a little early to ensure I'd be here on time." The burly man looks down at me again. "Let me see your ID and I will ask if you are allowed in." I show him my ID and he askes into his ear piece if I'm supposed to be here. "Sorry about that ma'am boss runs a tight ship and he wont ever catch me slacking on the job. Go ahead and go in and ask for Misty she will take you to the bosses office." He says to me. I smile at him "Thank you. I'm sure they are happy with what you do here sir." I walk past him and into the dark club.

As I walk in I see the lights flashing all around the club making pink, blue, and yellow spots fly around the room. There aren't many people inside just seems to be the workers getting everything ready for the night to come. I see woman and not very much clothing to men in tight black shirts and black pants I'm assuming so they can blend in better. There's a huge dance floor right in the middle and a DJ booth right in front with a man with headphones on. To the right there is a huge bar stocked with a whole wall full of alcohol bottles and two woman walking behind the bar taking notes of the bottles. Then there is a gorgeous tall tan woman wearing a black short dress walking in front of me giving out information. She comes in front of me and introduces herself as Misty and waves for me to follow her. As I'm walking behind her I can't help but feel completely out of my element and grow nervous. The closer we get the more I feel like running away. Unsure if she felt my unease but Misty turns around and says "Don't be nervous. It just seems like a lot but it's meant to intimidate people so Max can gauge who the person is." she smiles at me with a sympathetic look on her face. "Thank you. I was starting to feel overwhelmed by all of this. I mean look at me compared to you and the other people out there." "There's nothing to compare. I was exactly like you five years ago but I have grown and learned a lot here. You seem like a really decent person from your vibes at least because well I don't know you but I know you would be a great add to our team no matter where you work." She adds. We start walking again and I start to truly relax. No need to over think the situation until I need to. How scary can this Max be.

We get to a dark door and Misty knocks. We hear a deep voice call from the inside to come in. She opens the door and we walk in. She introduces me to Max and I finally get to see what he looks like. And I am completely flabbergasted. The man behind the desk is a very handsome tan man. He has dark hair that just asks to have your hands running through it. Dark brown eyes that are almost black and he has a smirk on his face. He knows I'm checking him out and my face starts to heat up. What is wrong with me? I never check anyone out I'm always to busy just trying to make it through the day. But as I'm standing here having a conversation with myself I feel eyes traveling over my body. I look up and meet his eyes. Somehow they turned darker and you can see the lust building in the dark pools. He starts by asking me to sit. "So Alice I see you have applied for a live in housekeeping position. Is that correct?" "Yes. I don't have alot of experience but I am a fast learner and quick on my feet. I just turned eighteen and graduated. I don't have anything holding me back or waiting for me. So I have open availability." I answer him. He looks at me again as if assessing me. "Well we can start with a trial run of how well you can adapt to situations new to you. Then we will discuss it further." All I can say is okay.

Misty appears back in the room somehow knowing she was needed. Max tells her "Get Alice an outfit she will be waitressing tonight at the club so I can see how well she works. Remember she is only eighteen and this is her first job but go over the basics." "Will do sir. Do you need anything else?" She answers. He tells her "No that is all. Alice you will start out on floor tonight. Whatever money you earn in tips are yours to keep. Hopefully this works out. After the club closes I want to meet you back here and we can discuss further employment." I smile at him and say "Thank you. I really appreciate this and I wont let you down." I follow Misty out of the office and look up at her and smile. She says "Wow I've never seen him allow someone to audition for a job before. Maybe he sees some talent in you. What size do you wear?" I reply "I wear a size 5. I guess my lack of experience is why he did that, I don't know." We start walking again out to the club floor but turn into a room and she finds me a dress. She shows me the locker room for me to get dressed. I change and put my clothes in locker and meet her back at the bar.

Misty starts by telling me drinks and how much the specials are. She tells me that the bartenders will help me out with prices since we don't have time to go over them before she has to start walking around the club. She tells me I am free to leave for a few hours until its time for the club to open or I can hang around here. I tell her "I don't have anywhere to go or any money so I'll just stay here." She looks at me with pity etched on her face and I immediately start to regret telling her. She just nods at the bartender and they give me a menu and tells me to order whatever I want. "It's really no big deal I'll be okay." She stares at me "You will be on your feet walking around for hours you will need some food or you will faint. That wouldn't make a good impression on Max. So order some food and hang out. Maybe they will help you out and start teaching you the prices and the drink names." "Okay thank you Misty I really appreciate you helping me out and trying to be nice." She just walks away and I turn around on the barstool and look at the food. I'm in awe of what is on the menu it's like a five star restaurant. I order the cheapest thing on the menu and just pull out my phone and wait.

After I get my food the bartenders introduce themselves as Sam and Grace. They seem nice and decent. They start by going over pricing and asking questions. We talk for a few hours and Misty comes back and tells us its time to start getting ready the doors open in fifteen minutes. The girls say goodbye and walk away. Misty hands me a black book and says "This is your waitress book. Its where you will keep your money and where you can write down big orders if you need to. There is already forty dollars in there for change for people paying with cash. At the end of the night you will give that back and the rest is yours." All I can say is "Okay. Is there a specific spot for me tonight?" She nods "Yes you will be working the VIP section with me tonight just so I can help if needed."

The club opens and within half an hour the whole club is packed. Apparently this is a very popular club. I start by taking basic orders and it seems very simple. That is until a couple hours in I see a group of men walk into the VIP area in very expensive suit and strong manly cologne. Misty winks at me and tells me to take that group. I walk over and try to hide my nervousness. "Hi I'm Alice and I will be your waitress tonight. What can I get you men to start with?" They all look me up and down and start to order when I see another man come and sit down. He looks me right in my eyes and I feel the need to shrink back from him. His energy is very dominate and powerful but I get drawn in by his carmel colored eyes. He tells me "I will have a bourbon on the rocks and these guys will have champagne and bourbon." I walk to the bar and relay the order to Grace and she just looks at me in shock. "What did I forget something?" She tells me "No just be careful with that group okay?" I put the drinks on the tray and walk back. I set the drinks on the table and go to walk away when I feel a hand on mine. I turn and its him. He looks down at me with his carmel eyes just boring into mine. I feel a tingle run up my arm from his hand and gasp. He grins at me and he has perfectly straight white teeth. "Alice her is your tip and the money for the drinks. Also I would like to dance with you." I tell him "I'm sorry but I'm working and cant dance right now. But if you need anything else let me know." I pull away from and walk away. I steal a glance back at him and his face is angry then masks itself back to normal.

I finish out my evening without any issues. Misty comes and gets me to take me back to Max. I walk in and I'm shocked. It isn't Max sitting at the desk but the guy from my VIP area. s**t is all I can think. This was a test and I failed. I'm not going to get the job. Misty clears her throat and I'm brought back to the real world. I look at the mystery man. "Hello Alice I'm Marcus and I own this place and it was me you were trying to impress tonight." My face falls and I already know I didn't get the job. He grins at me and says, "Alice you are hired. You took your job seriously and were very professional. Here is your pay for tonight and the tips are yours to keep. Here is the address for tomorrow. Be there at eight am sharp don't be late." I smile at him and I could see the shock on his face. "Thank you so much. I won't be late." I walk out of the office by myself and go to get changed. I change and go out to the bar to give the money back and see Misty. I hand her the money and start counting my tips. There is seven hundred and sixty five dollars. My eyes start to tear up but I push it down. I pull out my phone to call Jake to see if he can pick me up but I realize its three am. I decide to walk instead of waking him up.

I walk out of Lush and start walking towards Jake's parents house. I gps it and see it is going to take me about an hour to walk home. I sigh but I don't have any other choice. As I walk I see a car driving a little ways behind me and I start to panic. But the fancy car comes up beside me and the back window rolls down. I look and its Marcus. "Are you walking home?" "Yes its about an hours walk from here." He sighs "You will not be walking. Do you even know the dangers out here and what could happen to you?" I shake my head and reply. "Yes I do actually know the dangers but I don't have any other option right now so if you don't mind I'm going to get going so it wont be longer of a walk." He steps out of the car and I have to look up at him. I'm annoyed that he keeps holding me here that I don't notice him grabbing my hand and pulling me to the car. "I said I will give you a ride. I don't want anything happening to you." "Whatever I'm just ready to get home." I get in the car and we start driving. I don't even pay attention to what way we are going when my eyes start to close. The car stops a while later and I really don't want to open my eyes I'm exhausted.
