Chapter 22 - Serve James At The Bar?!
1124 Words
Hearing about her new assignment, the head waitress was happy for Bella. She liked Bella and could tell she was a diligent girl. Every night before their shift she would help Bella do her makeup.
Getting prepared, Bella stood beside the door nervously. Honestly, she didn’t like this job. But all the other waitresses were jealous of her new position and Bella had no choice but to take the job.
It was seven o’clock in the evening, the opening time of Adam’s Bar. The doors opened and several rich, young men dressed in designer clothes walked in. The man who stood at the front of the group was quite tall. He had broad shoulders and long legs, and his face was absolutely gorgeous.
The waitress standing beside Bella walked earnestly toward them. If she could get to know any one of them, it could lead to a totally different life for her.
Bella, however, just wanted to escape from them. Because the man standing there in the middle was the last man she wanted to see. It was James Parker!
The men standing close to James were his childhood friends, Bryan Field and George Dalton. Bryan ran several businesses abroad; George was a professional photographer, often away on business trips. It was hard for them to have a chance to get together. After their dinner that night, George suggested they continue the night at a bar.
Upon entering the bar, James instantly noticed Bella. She looked different. The makeup made her sweet face look charming. And the innocence in her eyes enchanted all who looked into them. And the heart shape cut on her chest made James feel dizzy!
James decided he had to renew his impression of Bella. It seems that her slim figure was also sexy. However, she was not dressed up like that for him, this annoyed James greatly.
What did she want? She wore an outfit that showed off her cleavage and legs. Every man in the bar became captivated by her.
James looked at her legs. Luckily, this silly woman knew to cover her legs with silk stockings. But didn’t she know that the black stockings would make her look even sexier?
She was trying to hide from him. She really thought that that pillar could cover her?
George noticed James’ glance first and smiled. He looked at James and then over at Bella.
Having grown up together, George knew very well what type of girls James liked. So why was James interested in this sweet, innocent girl? It wasn’t possible.
But James’ behaviour forced him to believe it. After seeing that girl, James’ face blackened. “It’s going to be a good night,” he thought. He couldn’t wait to see how this turned out.
Glancing at Bella for a second, James walked into the bar as if Bella was just a stranger.
The manager saw them from afar. From his experience in the bar, he could guess who these rich young men were and showed them up to the balcony area.
As James and the others were walking up to the balcony, George deliberately fell behind and whispered to the manager, “Go ask that girl standing beside the door to come here.”
The girl standing beside the door?
The manager thought for a second. There were two girls by the door tonight. He had no idea which one George was looking for and didn’t dare to ask him again.
In Adam’s Bar, there were two kinds of waitresses. One kind was like Bella. They just did the jobs like serving drinks and doing the dishes. Then there was the other group who would chat and drink with guests. These were the girls who were longing to find a rich man.
The manager glanced at the balcony. The men sitting there were rich and powerful. He had become to like Bella so he decided to give her the chance to meet one of those rich men and change her life. He then also called Bella to get there.
Bella felt confused by the manager’s order. He had just assigned her to welcome the guests. Why was he now ordering her to the balcony?
“Bella! Quick! The guest is waiting for you!”
Hurried along by the manager, Bella walked blankly forward. Maybe the balcony needed waitresses, so she was being asked to help out?
As the door opened, Bella saw James sitting there. He too saw her and looked up with a dreadful expression. How could she deal with this?
Bella touched her stomach immediately and cried, “I’m sorry. I have a stomach ache. Can you find someone else to come here?”
The manager grabbed her and ordered angrily, “Suck it up and get in there!”
He then turned to James with a big smile. “The girls are here. I’m leaving. If you need anything, just call me. Have a good time!”
The manager left, quickly closing the door behind him. He perhaps sensed that Bella wanted to escape with him.
Without turning around, Bella could feel cold, sharp eyes fixed on her. It must be James Parker.
The room fell into a deadly silence. The other waitress that came in with Bella was too scared to say anything.
Bryan had no idea what was happening. He looked at everyone in the group and noticed George was wearing an excited expression. He then looked at the two waitresses and understood at once what was going on.
“Fill my glass,” James spoke first to break the silence in the room. His words made the atmosphere in the room lively again. Suddenly, everyone burst into life and began happily drinking and chatting together; encouraged by the dark, sensual surroundings of the room.
Hearing what James said, the other waitress immediately stepped forward. She knew that if she could get this man’s favour, even if she just slept with him, she would definitely benefit from it. Even if she didn’t get the money!
“Not you.” James’s words quickly broke the fantasy playing out in the waitress’s head. He raised his hand and pointed at Bella who was trying to pretend she didn’t exist. “You.”
Now everyone in the room gazed at Bella. She had no choice but to walk slowly toward him and hold the wine to fill his glass.
James grasped Bella’s wrist and said in a deep voice, “This is how you fill your guests’ glasses?”
Were there any other ways to fill a glass?
Bella thought James was just being picky and struggled to get James’s hand off her arm. But James used his strength and pulled Bella into his arms.
