Chapter 20: Is working in a bar just about chatting?

Driving the car, Lila also started to contemplate William’s identity.

At first, she didn’t pay enough attention, but now even Bella and Alice had started seeking William out. What did that imply?

Clearly, just like herself, they were also sent by their families to find William.

The Bell and Turner families were also notable in New York City.

Adding their Carter family, the three families seeking good relations with William indicated that he was certainly not an ordinary man!

Very extraordinary!

“Lila, drop me off at the bar entrance, and you can leave. If there’s nothing else in the future, try not to find me,” William said with a smile. “I have realized that your presence by my side will stir up unnecessary troubles.”

“What?” Lila was somewhat infuriated. So he was implying that she should not find him if there’s nothing important?

This guy was too arrogant!

“Isn’t that burning your bridges?” Lila couldn’t help but say, “Since you’ve said so, I will certainly not bother you in the future.”

Today, she had genuinely accompanied William all day, fulfilling her grandfather’s task. Now that William asked her not to find him in the future, she could report this back.

William thought for a moment and said, “You can also interpret it as burning the bridge. When you go back, please tell your grandfather that I do not wish to be disturbed by anyone else. When I get my salary next month, I will repay you for the expenses today.”

Blushing, Lila responded, “I will convey your words to my grandfather.”

William’s attitude was truly too arrogant.

He didn’t even want to be disturbed by others. Did he think he was some big shot?

When the car arrived at the entrance of Moonlit Harbor Pub, it was only five in the afternoon, and the bar was still closed.

“The bar hasn’t opened yet. Do you want me to take you sightseeing somewhere else?” Lila glanced at the Moonlit Harbor Pub.

Being one of the larger bars on the street, the larger the bar, the messier it got inside.

With many drunk people crowded together, some friction was bound to happen.

“You can drop me off first!” William looked out of the car window, his brows raised slightly, a hopeful smile on his face.

Lila glanced back at William, followed his gaze and saw a young girl standing at the bar entrance.

The girl looked no more than twenty years old, with delicate features and a gentle demeanor. She was simply dressed.

Lila couldn’t help asking, “Your friend?”

William replied, “Sort of.”

“You pull that handle to open the car door,” Lila believed that with William’s intelligence, he would quickly learn how to open the car door.

She couldn’t be expected to open the door for him every time!

“Oh! You should have said that earlier.” William casually opened the car door, which annoyed Lila so much that she felt like biting him.

After getting out of the car, William slowly walked towards the girl standing at the bar entrance. When they were about three meters apart, the girl looked up at him and then lowered her head, obviously not recognizing William.

Once William got to her side, the girl turned her head to glance at him and asked, “Brother, do you work here too?”

William nodded, smiling brightly, and introduced himself, “My name is William.”

The girl quickly returned the smile and nodded to William, “Nice to meet you, I’m Evelyn.”

William asked, “Do you work here too?”

“Yes, I was interviewed yesterday to be a waitress,” Evelyn said. “You just got out of that car, so you must be quite wealthy.”

Not even considering the model of the car, just looking at the license plate, you could tell that the car’s owner was either rich or noble.

William shook his head, “I don’t have any money; the car is my friend’s.”

“Oh!” Evelyn responded indifferently and said nothing more, clearly not interested in continuing the conversation with William.

William also said nothing, and the two of them just stood quietly at the entrance of the bar.

As dusk approached, the neon lights on the street gradually lit up, until a plump and attractive middle-aged woman came and opened the door to the bar.

“You two are here to apply for jobs?” The middle-aged woman glanced at William and Evelyn and said, “Come in with me.” 𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐

“My name is Maria Perry, but you can call me Maria,” the woman said as she walked to the front desk. “Give me your resumes, and leave your phone numbers and names.”

“Maria, hello, my name is Evelyn.”

“I’m William.”

Maria looked deeply at Evelyn, smiled, and asked, “Evelyn, you’re applying to be a waitress, right? The salary for a waitress isn’t very high.”

Evelyn understood what she meant and quickly replied, “Maria, I just want to be a waitress, and I don’t mind if the salary is low. This place isn’t too disorderly, is it? If it really is chaotic, then I’ll pass.”

Maria nodded, “Since you only want to be a waitress, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you. If you encounter any problems, talk to Maria directly, and I’ll take care of you.”

William, listening to their conversation, sensed something fishy.

“Maria, besides being a waitress, what else can I do?” William was curious about this new world. Was there something else he could do?

He had seen the bar’s hiring advertisement the day before, which included positions like lobby manager and business manager, with different salary packages.

“You?” Maria looked William over. The young man was handsome and at an age full of vitality.

Maria asked, “How’s your alcohol tolerance?”

William thought for a moment and said seriously, “I guess I can handle a thousand cups without getting drunk!”

“Heh!” Maria couldn’t help but scoff. People who claimed they could handle a thousand cups without getting drunk were quite common in the bar.

“How about you accompany those ladies for drinks and chat? Base salary is three thousand, plus commissions on drinks,” Maria said, having run the bar for many years. Sometimes women’s demands could be much higher than men’s.

William frowned, “Just accompany them to drink and chat? Is that all?”

Maria said flatly, “If those ladies require it, you’ll also have to sleep with them.”

“That’s out of the question!” William immediately refused. Accompanying women to bed?

What kind of joke was this?

Many women lusted after his body but never got what they wanted. For three thousand bucks, and to sleep with who knows how many women? How could that be possible?

Maria laughed, “Then can you chat? You don’t have to sleep with them. As long as you make those young ladies happy, and they come back next time, that’s fine.”

“Chatting? That shouldn’t be a problem,” William thought. Being a server, the daily tasks were carrying and opening wine for customers, fetching whatever they wanted. It was all mundane and straightforward work.

But if he could just chat and drink and get paid for it, that wouldn’t be bad at all.
