Paused for a second after Steven’s joke, Pearl got it and almost burst into laughter. “We’ll see. One who just joined our business, could naturally dream about that working girls here are easy, or over confident about his charisma. I’m not against that. But we’ll see.”
He leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the table, and stared at Steven for a long time. It seemed that he wanted to see through the anger in Steven's heart. It was not until Steven showed weakness and bowed his head slightly that he said with satisfaction, "I appreciate the talented people, not the good-for-nothing who only knows how to talk. Also, don't talk too much here, do more work, and take care of your own eyes and waist belt. Some people are not people you can offend, understand?"Pearl also leaned forward while remain seated. She stared back at Steven, seemingly see through Steven’s dirty joke, until he backed down. “You talk the talk, but you also have to walk the walk. Boys who work here are not only about conversations, as a matter of fact, they don’t talk much.”
"Yes, I understand!" Steven stood up and smiled embarrassedly. At last, he stopped bragging. This woman passed his test. She did have the power of controlling business.
Steven stood up and took a step back. Pearl suddenly felt that the pressure was gone. She breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand. "If you understand, please go change. Someone will take you to the wardrobe.”
Steven left without a word, but nodded respectfully.
Pearl finally calmed down. The conversation with the man just now made her have a feeling that she couldn't say it out. She looked very strong, but she was really a little nervous in her heart, which made her unable to breathe. However, this kind of repression did not make her feel disgusted and her heart was pounding.
Pearl gently touched her body with her slender hands and took a deep breath. Then she picked up the cup on the table and took a sip. She turned her head inadvertently and found a head stretched out of the door.
"Ahem..." Pearl was choked and naturally a little angry. It was still the guy called Steven. "What do you want? What are you doing? Is there anything wrong?"
"Hey, Boss, I'm sorry. I forgot to take the key." Steven stretched out his hand and pointed to a key on the table. It was the key to his scooter.
"Take it, hurry up and get out!" Pearl grabbed the key and threw it to him. Then she picked up a paper towel and gently wiped a small piece of water stain on her chest. Steven's laughter sounded outside the door, and she was even more angry in her heart. This guy always lost his composure when she met him for the first time! She was so angry.
Pearl lowered her head and read the guy's resume again. "Hem, it's just whimsical. You've graduated from high school and been working for five years. You don't look handsome, and you even look a little bit wretched. A poor boy, who would fallin love with you? If it weren't for the recent short of hands, I wouldn't hire you," Pearl sneered and said with a trace of a beautiful smile on her face.
Steven applied for a nightclub called "FullELITEMIX". It was a large entertainment venue with a combination of food, drink and entertainment.. It was not the best one in Eastown City, yet it was famous along South Street. This place had a lot of rich customers. Most of them came here because of the high-end taste, and the beautiful girls.
This Pearl was the person in charge of this place. To put it bluntly, she was just apimp. It was said that this woman also was a street girl long ago. . However, it was just a matter of the past. It was said that she had already quit that business and became the manager here.
Steven had officially gone to work. He had put on the waiter’s uniform. He looked quite like a man, much better than the cheap set of shirt and ragged trousers.
However, the waiter was, after all, the lowest-level existence in this nightclub. The elder sisters in the nightclub were often reprimanded by the guests who came here.
There was no other way. Who would take it seriously? As waiting was considered the most expendable position in the business.
However, Steven did not care. He always had an evil smile on his face. He looked at the top beauties here like an animal looking at something extremely delicious and teased them from time to time. He looked ugly and obscene while staring at them.
In the corridor of the ball, there was a dull music. Steven stood at the door of a private room doing his waiter job. This was the private room he was in charge of, and there was another one on the opposite side. Since there were too few waiters, Steven was in charge of two private rooms by himself.
The customers were teasing, drinking and singing with the girls, yet he had to wait outside. This was life. However, Steven didn't care. He leaned against the wall, with a cigarette in his mouth and an evil smile on his face. If one looked carefully, one would find that there was an unfathomable emotion in Steven's eyes.
In the private room, the sound of men and women teasing could be heard. The woman's smile was professional, and the man was obscene. Through a small piece of sand glass on the door, Steven could vaguely see that the man and woman in the room were hugging each other and rolling on the sofa.
"Ahem." A woman's light cough came from behind. Steven turned around in a hurry, stopped smiling evilly, and said respectfully, "Boss..."
It was Pearl.
"How many times have I told you not to affect the guests? It's very rude. The guests in the room are so powerful that I don't dare to offend them, instead, I have to serve them well carefully. Do you understand?" Pearl stared at Steven coldly.
"Yes, ma’am. Good evening to you too. And I like your dress by the way." Steven directly ignored Pearl's anger and stared at Pearl's dark red high slit cheong sum without hiding his intentions.
Pearl slightly wrinkled her brows, and her face was as calm as water. It was hard to tell whether she was angry or happy. She took two steps, turned to look at Steven and said, "Where did you learn to talk like that?"
“From the construction site. Haha.”Steven grinned, put his hands in his pockets, and said with a smile, looking like he was in trouble.
"Work hard, pay attention to your words and behavior." Pearl knew that she couldn't get anything out of him, so she turned around and left, taking away a fragrant breeze.
"Pearl, take care, please" Steven greeted her enthusiastically from behind, but Pearl had already gone far.
Looking at Pearl's back, Steven had a complex look. . Was this the woman that his brother entrusted him before his death? Steven promised him without hesitation. But now such a good woman had fallen into such a situation.
Thinking of this, Steven still felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking that his brother had saved the entire squard with his life, Steven felt extremely painful. Steven vowed that no matter what happened to this woman, he must protect her and prevent her from getting hurt. Otherwise, he would let his brother down.
Steven’s true intention was to save Pearl from this situation. Taking the waiter job was merely a disguise.
