"I am sorry, Kendra. I…"
"Just get back to work but you owe me an hour from my work time!"
"Deal, Kendra. And thanks so much"
Jessica didn't mind working an extra one or more hours as long as she got her pay today. She can't afford to lose her money. There was so much she need to do by tomorrow.
As soon as her second left, she became busy serving the people in the bar. She had to make up for just five minutes that she was late. She was happy her second covered up for her before the manager came.
It was almost her closing time and she was glad her paycheck would be handed to her in a few minutes.
"Jessy, manager Riel wants you to serve some guests in the private ward upstairs," One of the waitresses said.
"Alright, Kendra. Do you have their orders or do I get them?" Jessica asked.
"No, they are regulars. Just meet the bar boy or meet Kevin, tell them room 14 and he will give you their orders" Kendra replied, walking away." And remember to put on your facemask. You have been sneezing for some time now"
Yeah. It looks like the cold air hit her in the chest and she had been feeling damn cold in the past hours she had been working. The regulars in this bar are one hell of a picky group. So, she has to be careful not to be thrown out on the night of her paycheck!
Picking up a facemask, Jessica walked toward the bar to place her orders. One of the bar boys who just started working a few days back was giving her a creepy smile. She gave him a stern look that put him in place.
"Still looking fierce yet hot! You gotta loosen up, girl" Kevin, the other bar boy said. He was among the oldest worker in the bar.
"I hate perverts and creeps!" Jessica spat out, glaring at the boy again.
"You got those regularly because you are a hot girl! Not just hot but beautiful and… "
" Kevin, could you please stop? I am getting goosebumps already!" Jessica rolled her eyes.
" Love goosebumps, I get?" Kevin asked, grinning. Jessica just pursed her lips, feigning annoyance.
" I need orders for room 14, Kevin. I don't have time to waste on you because I have to be off in a few minutes" Jessica said, looking at her watch.
Her mother was going to give her an earful tonight. She didn't tell them she also worked at a bar. That's because she was only needed for just three hours on weekdays.
"Here you go, sweetheart. Just be careful in swinging your hips, those dudes are poachers!" Kevin warned, smiling.
"Poachers?"
"Yeah. Poachers of beautiful and sexy women like you!" He said.
Jessica didn't have time to reply to him as she walked briskly yet carefully towards the room. It wasn't a room because it was simply enclosed in transparent glasses. They could see through anyone from the bar.
Pushing the door gently after announcing her presence, a strong alcoholic scent wafted through her nose. It wasn't just the scent of alcohol but also the scent of something else.
Looking around the room, she saw about four men and a few call girls dressed skimpily. They were busy making out except for one of the young men who had his eyes closed. There was a lady who was looking rather displeased at the man but kept rubbing all over his body. There was not a single reaction from the man.
Jessica calmly placed the drinks on the table before turning to leave. But as she was about to leave, she heard a man's voice behind her.
"Turn around and remove the mask, beautiful bitch"
Did she hear right? Why would he be interested in her face? And what a rude man! How dare he call her a bitch! Was Kevin right about these men being poachers or whatever he means by that?
Jessica took a deep breath before turning around to look at the person. It was one of the men surrounded by women.
"I am sorry sir but I am not allowed to remove the mask. It's a rule by the manager, sir" Jessica said, trying to keep her composure. Even if the manager comes, she would be able to defend herself.
After all, she was truly cold and sneezing.
"Vince, leave the poor girl alone. There are so many hotter bitches here" one of them said. He sounded drunk.
"Mind your bitch, Fred," the man retorted. Then he turned to her" You want me to call the manager and get you fired?"
Jessica was at loss for words. Why would this man pick her out? Confused about what to do, she decided to do as the man says. Who knows what he might tell her manager?
"Let her be, Vince. I didn't know you were interested in girls like her. Aren't socialite ladies your aim?"
The person who just spoke looked like the man whose eyes were closed earlier but his face was hidden because of the dim light.
"I don't want to bang her, Ed. Just want to see her face. Don't want to drink something I don't know who the waiter is" the man insisted.
"Alright. If that's what you mean" The man replied, opening his eyes. Due to the dim light, no one caught the surprise in the man's expression.
Although the girl was putting on a facemask, he could never forget those fierce eyes and hot… body.
The person he saw earlier was truly her. But what was she doing at the bar? Wasn't she working at the Cafe?
Not knowing what was going on in the man's mind, Jessica slowly removed her facemask. But then, there was the sound of a phone ringing. It seems to be the man's phone. Distracted by the phone call, he picked it up.
"I will be right there. Keep him on the leash" the man said over the phone.
"Edwin, what's the problem?"
"I gotta go. I just caught that bastard that got my video leaked to my father. I am going to teach him a lesson!" Edwin said.
Without thinking about the girl who was still standing awkwardly in the room, he left hurriedly. He believed he would see her soon again!
Taking the distraction caused by the man's sudden movement, Jessica slipped out of the room before they could come back to their senses.
She needed to go for her paycheck and hopefully, she wouldn't have to come to work in this bar again!
