As night fell, Imperial Court No.1 began to stage a colorful nightlife. Mia, wearing the uniform of a bar waitress, sat in the lounge waiting for her shift.
When Brian came in, she was looking at her cell phone intently, "Wow! Now you're paying attention to financial news! " He walked over and saw that her mobile page showed news about Hengtai's acquisition of M Technology company in the United States, with a picture of Alfred holding a press conference.
"Just for killing time!" Mia said and locked her screen. Actually, the only way she could know about him now was to watch the news. It occurred to her that the last time he left in a hurry was to fly to the United States.
Looking at her peaceful face, Brain wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. He was eager to persuade her not to get too involved. But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he thought it was superfluous. At present, he had no better way.
Brain looked at time, it was Mia's turn to go to work. He couldn't help but remind, "Call me if you have any trouble!"
Mia smiled and nodded, "I'm not afraid of any trouble under your protection."
She had been working as a part-time waitress here for a while. It was because the salary was quite ideal. Moreover, Brian had sung in this bar for more than a year. He was kinda popular, the manager here treated him politely, so they took good care of Mia.
Brian rubbed her hair habitually. Outside, there were already many people shouting his name, waiting for him to come on the stage.
Mia pushed him and teased: "Hurry up. Go. Don't keep fans waiting for you!"
Brain had said that he wanted to be a singer in the future, and Mia firmly believed that he would definitely make it.
After a while, the music outside sounded. Brain sang an English song, and soon heated up the atmosphere...
There were a lot of guests in the bar every night. Despite the crowd downstairs, the entire VIP room on the top floor could be free from noises.
Mia and another waitress Jane went into two private rooms with wine respectively. After sending the wine, Mia came out quickly. Inside the private rooms, two gentlemen were talking about business, and each of them had a beautiful lady to accompany them, so they didn't have time to notice her.
Jane was not that fast, so Mia was waiting for her in the corridor outside.
The light in the aisle was very dim. The door of a private room opposite her opened and a stout man came out. She didn't notice him until the man stopped in front of her, reeking of alcohol.
"Miss Qiao, I thought I could be mistaken. It's really you!" William Liu stood in front of her, looking drunk and aglow.
Mia was shocked. Just as she was about to retreat, he grabbed her arm.
"Let me go!" Mia struggled with all her strength, but she was grabbed tightly by him.
"Didn't you say that you are married? Would your husband let you work in such a place?" William sneered, "You might as well marry me, at least you can be a rich wife!"
"It's none of your business!" Mia struggled and took out her mobile phone to dial Brain, but William took the phone away and thrown it on the ground.
"If you don't let go of me, I'll call the security guards!" Mia was completely irritated.
"Don't pretend to be a virgin. Name your price and tonight I shall be your guest." William began to pester her driven by alcohol. It was not a day or two since he had coveted Mia.
At this moment, Jane came out of another room, caught sight of the situation and ran for help at once.
Soon the manager got upstairs in the elevator, followed by worried Brian.
When Brain came over and saw that William's fat hand was still holding Mia, he flew into a rage , "F**k you!" He swore and punched William in the face.
William was punched to stagger for several steps and became nearly sober.
Brian was still angry, but he was pulled by the manager: "Calm down, Mr. Liu is a regular here!"
William finally managed to stand firm. He covered his face and shouted with his eyes turned red, "We are not done with this. Are you treating your VIP customers like this? Call your boss here. Give me an explanation, or I'll call the police!"
As he shouted, several customers opened the doors to check what was going on. Mia didn't know if she was dazzled,for she seemed to have seen a familiar figure in a private room just now.
The manager could have dealt with these disputes, but William deliberately intended to make trouble today. He insisted on calling the police and threatened to put Brian in prison.
Brian had a promising future, he couldn't go to jail for her. Mia thought with anxiety, but she didn't know what to do.
She was like a cat on hot bricks, and sooner her tender palms sweated.
Suddenly, a door on a private room opposite to them was opened, a tall and slim man came out of it .
