5. Let me live with dignity
1054 Words
TIA
I had decided to work from today. Even though the owner of this place, Roy is a really good man, as per the talks I have heard about him from the staff, I know that he won't force me to work against my will, but I can't be an ungrateful b***h and use him for my needs. By needs, I meant shelter, food, and clothes.
I had been living in this house since I had collided with Meera on the road, one month back. It took me one whole month to understand these people. It was not easy for me to believe that there are good people in this world like Meera and Roy, especially when I had only met people like Derek, my stepmom, and that old dude Chester.
I am really thankful that I met Meera that day. If not Meera then I don't what I would have done in this unknown country. Actually, I should thank Roy, no one provides security, shelter, and food to any unknown girl absolutely for free. In this house, with me, there are several girls who are damsels in distress. He has arranged many places that serve as living accommodations for girls, boys, elders, and children separately.
Roy is a good man who helped every category of unfortunate people in every possible way. For the world, he might be a don, but for me, he was a man of God, my savior who helped me out in my bad time. He had met me in person and told me that I can stay at this house for as long as I want, and if I want to work, then I can work at any of the places that are owned by Roy.
He owns educational institutions, a corporate office, as well as a club. I had all these options, but all I could work was at the club. Being merely an eighteen-year-old, I didn't know much about corporate offices or educational institutions. The only left for me was the club.
So here I was, standing before the club to work for my very first day, sorry, the very first night. the club was filled with an elite crowd even though it was only ten in the evening, and then I remembered that it was Saturday today. the bouncer recognized me and after he made a quick call to God knows whom, he allowed me to go inside.
Once inside, I found Meera in the open room, she had come to greet me and had asked me if I was sure to work from tonight. And I had said yes. She handed me a keypad phone with her number saved on it, and said, "Call me whenever you need."
"Thank you so much, Meera," I said with a smile and she rubbed the side of my arm as a gesture of affection.
She told me to get dressed. So I went to the washroom and looked at the two pairs of dresses that were laid down in front of me to wear. One was for the waitresses and the other one was for strip dancers. I went with the one meant for waitresses. It was a tight-fitted shirt and a short skirt. The dress didn't bother me at all because I was habitual to wear these kinds of dresses in my native land, Nashville.
When I exited the washroom after getting dressed and determined to work from tonight for myself and earn a living, I found Roy was there in the personal area for the waitresses.
He was talking to Meera and I overheard him saying, "I want a good and preferably innocent girl for him. But keep in mind that she should not be forced for anything."
"May I?" I involuntarily asked this. I just wanted to let him know that I was intending to work from tonight, and being in his eye from the very first day would be a good start.
He turned at scanned me from top to bottom. His gaze was not at all lusty, but he was shocked to witness me there and dressed in the uniform of a waitress.
"Tia, right?" He asked.
"Yes!" I answered.
"Meera didn't tell me that you have started working here." He said and then shifted his gaze from me to Meera.
"Tonight is my first night, here," I said before Meera could answer him.
"But you know that you can stay safe and secure even without working anywhere, and you could have continued with your studies?" He asked. By his voice, I could say that he was not happy to see me here.
"I didn't want to be a burden on you..." I mumbled as I looked at the ground.
"I have enough money that I can nurture you and many girls for the whole of their lives, without wanting them to work for me." He said.
"Roy, please let me live with dignity?" I wanted to scream at my helplessness. The man in front of me looked like a brother to me, and I wanted to hug him for assuring me like this, but I couldn't.
"Alright! But you can always back off from this job, whenever you want." He said casually.
"Thanks!" I said with unshed tears brimming in my eyes.
"And yes, for today, we have a person named Arsal, whom you have to serve and distract. I know he won't do anything without your permission, and you don't have to either. You just have to try to distract him, and that can happen even without touching him or letting him touch you...you get that?" Roy instructed.
"Yes, sir!" I answered him.
"And, you may call me Roy." He said with a charming wink and walked out.
As soon as he was out, Meera neared me and said, "You are really something, girl! Roy sir does not usually talk this much to any one of us."
