Chapter 83: Knock on the Heart’s Door
Emily thought it would be a few days before Kevin came back to get his bank card, but no, as soon as she walked to the main lobby, she saw him sitting in front of the counter, intently watching the bartender mix the wine.
Today, he is wearing a t-shirt, not a shirt anymore, he looks a few years younger.
He seemed to completely shed the image of a noble president to become a young man who went out to drink a few cocktails to relieve stress.
– Give back to you. Emily put the black card down on the counter and said.
As soon as she was about to walk away, he grabbed her wrist, held her back, asked her to bring him a grilled squid, and then let go of her hand very quickly.
After coming here a few times, he naturally turned into a super VIP customer of the pub.
Although the amount of wine he ordered the day before was taken back by the pub and was not charged because he ordered ten but only drank one.
However, just now he asked them to take the remaining nine bottles of wine to his car and paid in full.
Emily stopped by the kitchen, asked the kitchen staff to grill her a squid, then went back to the changing area to put her bag away.
Yesterday, she wore her uniform and slept until morning, so she had time to wash, dry, iron and wear it again, so now she doesn’t need to change clothes.
When she returned to the bar counter, the cocktail in Kevin’s hand was still intact. It seemed like today, he had no intention of turning into a drunk anymore.
“If you get drunk again today, I won’t take you to the hotel anymore.” She threatened while tearing the grilled squid into small pieces.
“So you’ll take me to your house, right?” He looked at her passionately, his voice seemed to be flirting, seducing the person next to him.
“You…”
As soon as she opened her mouth and uttered a word, he took a piece of grilled squid and stuffed it into her mouth.
She couldn’t spit it out so she had to close her mouth and chew, glaring at him while chewing.
If he did this, would it be considered that he was harassing the female waitress?
But she had to admit that the grilled squid was delicious, still warm, and very soft. A few times ago, when she brought it home, it was cold.
“Wishing you a delicious…”
Once again, Kevin put a piece of squid in Emily’s mouth and winked playfully.
The bartender couldn’t help but laugh. This was the first time he saw a male customer flirting with a pub waiter in such a funny and adorable way.
He knew that the person in front of him was the new president of Unicons Group and also knew that without Emily, this pub would not have been lucky enough to welcome the customer who was described as the most workaholic in this city.
Emily’s face was as red as a tomato. She quickly turned away and walked quickly to the group of customers who were waving their hands to ask to be served.
Under the flashing lights, she was startled when she realized one of the customers was Loic.
The earth was indeed very round and she did not expect that she would meet him again.
“What else do you need to order?” She ignored his angry eyes and asked the girl who had just raised her hand to call her.
“A bottle of wine like this one and three grilled squid, plus a plate of grilled shrimp.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Yes, please wait a moment.”
Passing through the crowded crowd, Emily walked towards the kitchen. And while waiting, she brought the customer’s food into VIP room number ten.
When she turned around, she saw Loic suddenly appear. In the middle of the empty hallway, there was only her and him, making her suddenly feel cold down her spine.
“Emily, you are very good. You quit your job, changed your place of residence, and then came here to work as a waiter. Are you deliberately avoiding me? What have I done to harm you?”
Loic hissed, step by step pushing Emily against the wall. Does anyone understand his feelings of disappointment and loss when he rushed to find her after finishing work and received information that she had disappeared?
He even wandered around the large and small tailor shops on the north side of the city to find her.
“Mr. Loic, are you mistaken? Where I want to be and what I do is my freedom to choose, why do I have to be responsible for reporting to you?” Emily spoke calmly.
Loic was so drunk that he completely lost control. He only knew right now, he wanted to hug her, kiss her, to satisfy his longing for her all these days.
Every day he doesn’t see her, he’s not in the mood to work, always in a state of anticipation and uncertainty.
Without thinking, he rushed forward, grabbed her shoulders, and lowered his head.
“No, let me go… let me go… help… help…” Emily panicked, quickly turned to the side, used her strength to push him away, and shouted.
The more she resisted, the stronger the desire in the man’s heart became. He pushed her against the wall and continued to search for her lips.
However, the moment he thought he was about to satisfy his desire, a strong arm grabbed his hair and pulled him back.
Next was a strong punch that landed in the middle of his face, making him unable to see anything and staggering against the wall.
Kevin’s eyes widened, one hand grabbed Loic’s collar and pulled him closer, one hand raised high, intending to punch him again, but Emily quickly rushed over, grabbed his arm, and continuously shook her head.
“Kevin, don’t… don’t…”
At this time, Kurt and the waiters also ran over. Looking at the scene, everyone understood what happened.
Kevin slowly lowered his hand and pushed hard, making the man fall against the wall again.
Loic heard Emily call Kevin’s name and he was still conscious enough to realize that Kevin was the current president of Unicons Corporation.
“Emily, take the Unicons president to the main lobby, I will handle this place.” Kurt spoke up.
“Yes.”
Emily nodded, grabbed Kevin’s hand, and led him to the counter.
After all, Loic helped her escape from a pervert once and his sister also treated her very well, giving her a job to support herself as soon as she arrived in this strange place.
Therefore, she also did not want Kevin to beat Loic and make things difficult for him.
“Situations where customers lose control like this do not happen often. This is the first time…”
“The second time. You forgot that arrogant girl, right?” The bartender interrupted her.
“Which girl?” Kevin frowned, squinted his eyes, and looked at Emily.
Knowing that if he wanted to know, he would find a way to find out the girl’s identity, so Emily didn’t hide anything from him and told him what happened that day.
Kevin pondered for a long time. Even though he wanted to tell her to quit working here and come to Unicons group with him, he knew he shouldn’t say it.
She hates being imposed, she also needs freedom of choice to feel comfortable. At least now, her attitude was more open to him and he didn’t want his efforts to disappear into foam.
“It turns out you just met Brian again. Okay, you continue to do your work.” He smiled gently, raised the cocktail glass, and took a sip.
Emily also felt that this man had changed a lot. If it were before, he would tell her to quit her job.
She bowed to him according to the pub’s regulations and then joined the crowded crowd, continuing to serve food and drinks to the customers.
She couldn’t deny that when she knew he was present here and watching her, she felt very secure and safe.
The later it got, the more customers flocked to the pub, and Emily and the waiters had to speed up to serve them.
When the clock struck two in the morning and the last group of customers left the main door, everyone had time to sit and breathe.
Even though they were tired, everyone’s faces were radiant because the tips they earned were quite a lot.
“Today you have to call a taxi, right? It seemed like the manager had to go to the hospital with the uncle who worked in the kitchen.” A girl sitting next to Emily spoke up.
“Yes, he is lonely and lives alone.” Emily nodded in confirmation and took her phone to book a taxi.
Kurt is an orphan, of course, his love for lonely people is more abundant than anyone else.
Furthermore, he also has more conditions and time than the employees in the pub.
He has a car so he can easily move around. He doesn’t have to go out to make money during the day and he can sit still with his phone and make a lot of money.
After taking off her uniform and putting on her floral dress, Emily quickly walked out.
She thought Kevin had gone home but no, he just left the pub. He was standing with his back against a nearby tree as if waiting for someone.
“Kevin, why aren’t you home yet?” She approached him and asked in surprise.
“Are you done with your work? Get in the car, I’ll take you home.”
“I called a taxi. You should go home, it’s too late.” She pointed at the taxi that had just stopped and said.
Sadness welled up from the bottom of his eyes but his lips were still smiling. It seemed like she was determined to hide her whereabouts until the end.
Hearing the car horn urging her, Emily quickly stepped forward and got inside.
The taxi quickly sped away on the deserted road. The moment she turned around, she saw Kevin still standing there, looking very lonely.
The car was running at full speed when it suddenly braked because the woman suddenly ran out into the middle of the road.
Emily opened her mouth and clutched her heart while the driver was also terrified. He lowered the windshield, stuck his head out, and was about to curse when he realized on the side of the road was a little boy lying still.
“Please… please help me take the boy to the hospital. I’ve been calling a taxi for a while now, but the switchboard keeps saying it’s busy.” The woman rushed forward, clung to the car window, and cried bitterly.
“But…” The driver turned to look at Emily.
Saving people is more important, so Emily doesn’t think much about herself. She took out her wallet and told the driver to take them to the hospital, and she would get off here but still pay him the same price as the original route.
After helping the woman put the boy in the car, Emily stepped back and watched the taxi change direction.
Everything happened so suddenly, so fast and Emily was only focused on following what her conscience told her, forgetting that it was after two in the morning and around her, not a single house was open.
When she realized she was standing alone on a deserted road filled with darkness and wind, her teeth chattered together and her whole body felt weak.
She climbed onto the sidewalk, took out her phone, and tried to book another taxi, but unfortunately, the screen kept showing notifications that the drivers around the area where she was standing were busy.
