Chapter 18
Chapter 18 — After My Brother Passed Away, I Received a Mysterious Text Message
The scene before my eyes was full of darkness, but it only made me nauseous. My brother just passed away not long ago. Yet the person who killed him was leisurely enjoying good wine and beautiful women. I forced my hatred down to the bottom of my heart and smiled professionally.
"Hello Mr. So, Miss Lieu. Wishing you both a pleasant evening."
“I'm Anna, the new bartender.”
So Minh gently lifted his eyelids and glanced at me. His eyes were like a cold snake, slowly sliding from my head to my toes. Then I quickly lost interest. In his world, women like me are nothing more than decorations appearing everywhere.
“Put the wine down and get out.”
He waved his hand, his voice filled with impatience. Impossible. I can't just leave. I have to create my own opportunities. I walked to the wine cabinet and slowly poured wine into the decanter. The movements are mature and elegant. Every step feels like it's been practiced a thousand times. That was the result of a hellish day of training that Ma Siyuan specially invited an expert to teach me. Liu Phi Phi quickly noticed.
“Oh, this girl is quite active.”
She spoke softly. So Minh clearly pampered her. Hearing that, he looked at me a few more times.
“New person?”
“Yes, Mr. So.”
I replied respectfully.
"Pretty steady hands. Have you ever studied before?"
“I studied in France for two years.”
I answered half true and half false. The opportunity has come. I filled two glasses of wine. Place on tray. Then walk towards them. Just about to reach the sofa. My foot seemed to accidentally get caught on the edge of the carpet. The whole person immediately fell forward. The two glasses of red wine on the tray did not miss a drop. It all fell on Lieu Phi Phi's bright red dress. Lieu Phi Phi screamed loudly. She immediately jumped up from So Minh.
“My dress!”
"This is a custom order! Did you know?"
She angrily pointed straight at me. I immediately knelt down on the ground. His face was full of panic and guilt.
“Sorry Miss Lieu!”
“I really didn't mean it!”
“I really didn't mean it!”
So Minh also stood up. His face darkened. He took off his coat and put it on Lieu Phi Phi.
"Even such a small thing can't be done!"
“What's the point of raising you?”
He roared. I know what I need is in there.
"Mr. So, sorry! I'm really sorry!"
I kept bowing my head to admit my mistake, while frantically trying to help Lieu Phi Phi clean the wine stains.
“Don't touch me!”
Lieu Phi Phi hated me and pushed me away.
“Where is the manager?”
“Are they all dead?”
So Minh turned to the door and shouted loudly. The room door immediately opened. The female manager wearing a cheongsam ran in panicked.
“Mr. So, what's going on?”
“Drag her out!”
So Minh pointed straight at me.
“Yes, yes, I'll handle it right away.”
The manager immediately came and pulled me up. I was still kneeling on the ground, hugging So Minh's leg tightly.
“Please give me one more chance!”
“My younger brother is seriously ill!”
“I can't lose this job!”
I cried until my voice was hoarse. Perhaps this is the best acting performance of my life. I fully acted out the inferiority, helplessness and despair of a girl from the bottom class. During the chaos. My hand quietly touched the jacket that So Minh threw on the sofa. The tip of the finger gently touched a hard object. That's it. I quickly took the object out. Hide it in your sleeve. The entire movement took place extremely naturally among the group chaotic winter.
“Drag her out!”
So Minh completely lost all patience. Two guards rushed in. Each person holds one of my hands. Roughly pulled out of the room. Before being dragged away. I turned my head to look at So Minh one last time. Eyes full of hatred. And he just waved his hand in disgust. Like chasing away a fly that makes people uncomfortable. I was dragged out of the clubhouse. Throw it hard on the cold street outside.
“Next time don't let me see you again!”
A fierce guard shouted. I staggered to my feet. Staggered forward. Turned into a dark alley with no street lights. Ma Tu Vien's car was waiting there. I pulled the car door. Get inside.
“How's it going?”
He immediately asked. His voice couldn't hide his impatience. I don't answer. Just quietly put your hand into your sleeve. Take out what you just brought. It was dark in the car compartment. The object reflected cold light. Like a ticket straight to hell. I looked at it for a few seconds. Then raise your head.
“I succeeded.”
