828 Words
I have everything I wanted. I'm 28 years old and a very successful CEO. Got a hot girlfriend and all the power in the city. But there's something missing in my life, why do I feel a hole in my heart? Ever felt empty even though you had everything in the world? That's me right now, I feel like I'm missing out on something.
"The hotel deal is done." My right-hand man, Liam told me.
"Awesome, I'm in the mood to celebrate and get drunk for one night." I told him.
"Wow, that's a first. You're usually all about work and no fun."
"Since Laura isn't in town, I can finally have some peace and quiet." I told him.
"How about breaking up with her?"
"Nah, she's annoying, but she takes care of my needs. And she's really good at it. I don't love her but this will do." I shrugged.
"You're the boss. Be ready at 10, we will hit this great club." He said before leaving my office.
Let's see what tonight brings my way.
Kristy
It was around 10 pm, when I got called by the boss, " You're attending the VIP tonight."
"Yes sir." I sighed as I left his office. One day I will leave this place.
I grabbed what the VIP guest requested and then made my way over there. I opened the door and there were 4 men. They were looking at me as if I was a prey. I put the glasses and the bottle of champagne on the coffee table as fast as I could. I heard the door opening again. Oh, please don't let it be another perv man.
"Mateo and Liam, glad you could join us." The man sitting on the couch told them.
"I thought you said, fun and no business tonight, Mateo?"
"Well, I might've lied." He answered him.
I got up and turned around. Damn he was hot. He was really tall, fit gorgeous, beautiful hazel eyes. He had very plump lips. And had a beard, men with a beard are so sexy. Well some not all. I've never seen anyone so sexy in my life.
"Sexy thing, how about a lap dance." Another one of the men asked me breaking me from my trance.
"Uhm, that's not part of my job, I'm just a waitress." I answered him in the most polite way. Even though he didn't deserve it.
"I don't think your boss will be happy about it. We're his best clients." He added.
"Jared, chill. Let her to do her job, which is not you." The man who was still in the doorway told him. "You may leave and sorry about his behavior."
"Thank you." I left the VIP section. That was horrible. But he was actually really nice.
After my shift was over, I left. I hate this job I hate it with a passion. I entered the house and sighed.
"Long night?"
"Eventful, one of the VIP guys wanted to get friendly with me, he asked for a Lao dance." I huffed. "But a really hot guy told him to back off."
"Really? Kristy Hale is finally laying eyes on a guy after many years." She gasped.
"So dramatic." I rolled my eyes as she chuckled. "I'm going to check on Chloe and then go take a long bath." With that said, I left.
I entered her bedroom and she was hugging her favorite teddy bear that our parents gave her when she was born. She doesn't sleep without it.
I kissed her forehead and then went to my bedroom. I just want to forget about today's event. Hopefully, I won't have trouble at work tomorrow. One can only wish.
Mateo
After doing business with Jared, we left the club. My mind went back to that girl. I've never seen anyone so beautiful and even though she's working at that awful club, there's some innocence in her. Something that's rare in women.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Liam asked me.
"Just wondering, why a beautiful and innocent girl like her, is working in that club filled with pervs."
"Well, on the top of my head, she needs money. Not everyone has it easy."
"Do a background check on her." I told him.
"I'll have everything ready for tomorrow." He answered.
Who are you?
Kristy
Lucky today is Thursday and closer to the weekend.
"Sissy wake up." Chloe said while shaking me.
"It's too early." I pulled her into a hug.
"But it's 10 am and-"
"I overslept, why aren't you in class with Jojo?"
"Because, it's comfy teacher at school all day."
"Conference?"
"Yes, that what I said, don't you listen." She answered while crossing her little arms.
"Alright missy, don't get cheeky with me." I yawned as she giggled. "Let me get ready and we can go out for some brunch."
She squealed and left my bedroom. Why do I feel like today is going to be very eventful?
