“Since you have no objections, go and change into work suit.” Scarlet said.
“Ok.” She responded and quickly changed into the white swan-style miniskirt in the dressing room.
It was a beautiful skirt but it was a pity to dress it in such a circumstance. When Halle wore it, she even felt that she had desecrated the beauty of the swan.
She pulled the skirt downwards, but couldn’t hide her exposed thighs.
“You have already seen others wear it for so many times. Don’t feel embarrassed.” she told herself.
Although saw it so many times, she still couldn’t get used to wearing such a short skirt.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Halle took a deep breath. It was her own choice and she had to get used to it.
She opened the door of the dressing room and saw a flood of people come into the just opened bar.
She had heard for a long time that the bar was very popular. That was why she chose to work here. More people, more business
“Would you like some wine, Sir?” she limply walked to a man and asked. After standing in front of the dressing room and watching for a long time, she finally took her first step.
The man waved his hand and said, “No, I want whisky.”
“Okay.” She motioned to the waiter to bring the whiskey.
The boss was shrewd. He stipulated that the bartenders will not get commission for the sale of the wine most frequently drunk by customers.
Halle plucked up the courage to promote wine for three customers but all of them said no to her.
Just as she was at a loss, suddenly someone grabbed her arm. She couldn’t stand still and the wine bottle in the tray fell to the earth. She tried to grasp the bottle but was pulled away.
If that bottle of wine fell on the floor, she had to pay more than a thousand yuan. This was stipulated in the work agreement which she signed just now.
God, she did not earn any money but was going to pay for a bottle of wine.
She watched the bottle of wine falling to the floor, her breathing seemed to stop.
But all of a sudden, just as Halle was lamenting, a slender hand magically grabbed the bottle of red wine in an elegant way and said to her, “Miss, be careful.”
The man handed the wine to Halle. She looked up to him blankly. At that moment, she thought of leopards, which were elegant, wild, and dangerous…
But what made her more surprised was that this person was not others, but Ronan.
She met him several times in these days. Maybe they were coincidences before but what about this time?
She took the bottle of wine cautiously, and said lightly, “Thank you.” Then, she turned around and walked away.
She did not want to look at his eyes, which seemed to say, “Halle, are you trying to pester me again?”
She never tried to pester him except the first time she met her. At that day, she completely lost control of her emotions because of the betrayal of Hunter.
She walked away lamely. “Don’t move.” Ronan said behind her.
Halle stooped and turned her back to Ronan. He was a guest, and she had to cooperate as much as possible for what he wanted her to do.
“Mr. Grant, would you like XO?” A bartender asked in a coaxing voice.
“No, I want to drink red wine tonight.”
“Okay.” The woman replied disappointedly, and then said to Halle, “She has red wines.”
Yes, Halle had red wines. She had no idea that why Ronan came here to see her but she was quite sure that he came here on purpose, not happened to pass by.
“Halle, the guest want wines, go get it right now.” Scarlet seemed to notice that something was wrong with Halle and come to help her.
Halle turned around with a professional smile and said, “Sir, please take a seat here.”
“Halle, you are wrong. Mr. Grant never sits here. He has a fixed VIP room.” Scarlet said with a smile.
“Sorry, please go to the VIP room, Mr. Grant. I will bring the wine to the room immediately.”
Ronan smiled faintly and said, “Today I am sitting in the lobby.” Then he chose an inconspicuous position in the corner and sat down.
Why did he do that?
Halle followed him and asked, “Mr. Grant, which year of red wine would you like to drink? She just regarded him as a guest.
“The year of 1988 please.” He said with a charming smile. When he looked up at her, the noble temperament of him was revealed.
“How about 1995?” she did not have the wine made in 1988. The red wine of that year cost at least tens of thousands yuan, which was hard to get.
“Halle, we have that wine. Come with me.” Scarlet did not go far. When she heard Ronan’s words, she called Halle to her side.
Then, Halle went with Scarlet to take the wine. She thought of the way she was limping and suddenly realized that maybe he was here to laugh at her.
“Halle, this guest is more special than others. He is a good friend of the boss. The wines of 1988 are very few in the bar and most of them were reserved for him. After you know it, you will not make this mistake in the future.”
She nodded. It turned out that Ronan was such a tough customer who was very choosy about the wines.
She put the wine in front of him and said softly, “Mr. Grant, please enjoy your wine.”
She didn’t want to stay by his side for too long and she had no affiliation with him. She did not like to be charged with pestering him. But as soon as she turned around, Ronan said, “Sit here with me.”
“Sorry, it’s not my job. I am a bartender.” She left lamely without waiting for Ronan’s response.
She was afraid that Ronan would harass her again. But unexpectedly, he never called her again. After drinking a bottle of red wine, he left quietly. When she found out that he was not there, she thought he had gone to the VIP room.
She worked hard to sell wines. There was no shame to work for money. After work, she was too tired to stand up. She had walked lamely for the whole night with her injured leg. She didn’t get any other treatments, just took anti-inflammatory drugs.
When she walked out of the bar tiredly, the summer wind blew gently. She liked this kind of wind, which is much better than the air conditioner in the bar, and it is more refreshing.
There was no bus in such a late night. Halle looked around, hoping to catch a taxi soon.
But at this moment, a black BMW suddenly came out of the parking lot. At first glance, it seemed a bit familiar to her.
Was it the car of Ronan?
She looked away from the car, hoping a taxi would come soon.
But there was no taxi. The night was decorated with neon lights, like a beautiful fantasy.
