Chapter 7 Choose wisely

MEANWHILE AT GRACE'S HOUSE...

"Bye, dad." Grace said hugging her dad before going out.

"Be careful dear", he said weakly hugging her back.

Grace is a young, lively and innocent girl who lives with her dad.

"I will. Don't forget to take your medicine on time. You are already weak, dad. I already made dinner, eat it before taking medicine." Grace said and waved at her dad and went out.

She doesn't have enough money to take a cab, so she took public transport to reach her workplace. She is working at a bar as a waitress, she knows that it's not easy for her to work there but she has no other choice. It's a well-paid job for her based on others.

She has to take care of her dad and also she has to complete her graduation at any cost. She is a brilliant student and got the scholarship all her school life. And she entered college with a scholarship too. Everything went well until she reached her final year. Her dad's health suddenly got weak and hospitalised for a month. She had to take care of her dad because they had no one to take care of them.

So she stayed with him and took care of him for about two months until he was doing okay and as a result, she lost her scholarship. Now she has to pay the tuition fee to continue her studies but she doesn't have money to graduate and provide medicines for her dad at the same time.

So she decided to work and save some money while providing medicine to her dad and also for their living expenses. But she needs a well-paid job for that to happen, so she has no choice but to work at a bar because there will be tips which provide for her daily expenses.

She entered from the back door of the resto-bar and went straight to the dressing room and got dressed immediately and applied a little makeup and lipstick to finish her look.

She doesn't like much makeup but has to apply it for the job. So she decided to apply a little.

She tied her apron and pinned her name card to the apron. Well, they don't use their original names so that's a plus for her.

"You ready?" Macy, who also works there, asked while adjusting her apron.

"Yep.." Grace smiled innocently.

"Okay let's go now before that woman come and scream at us for being late." She said laughing.

"Yes, let's go," Grace said giving her a cute smile.

"Come fast you lazy bitches." Rene, the head shouted when she saw them coming. "Two bottles of whiskey to room two, come and get it to them fast." She said handing the bottles to Grace.

Grace took the bottles and went straight to room two and knocked on the door. A man opened the door and took the bottles from her hand. But when he took a glance at her, he got stunned by her beauty and checked her out from head to toe with so much lust in his eyes. He asked her to serve the bottles to them and she has no choice but to serve the whiskey to them.

When she entered the room, he immediately closed the door behind her, which scared her. She saw that there were two other men and three women there. She went there and poured their whisky into their glasses and gave them one. When that man who opened the door took the glass from her hand, he touched her thigh which made her shake in fear and lost her balance by making the bottle in her hand fall on the girl who sits next to that man.

"What the f*ck" she shouted in anger. "Who the hell gave you the job? You don't even know how to serve properly."

"S-sorry mam. I'll clean it." Grace said and took the tissues to clean with her shaky hands.

But that girl slapped her hands away and shouted, "Don't touch me."

"Re-really sorry mam," Grace said. She was on the verge of crying but restrained her composure.

"Your sorry ass doesn't bring my dress back." She shouted almost raising her hand to slap her but was stopped by the same man who was the sole reason for this.

"Leave it, I'll buy you another dress." He said, smiling.

"But she needs to learn a lesson." That girl said fuming in anger.

"She will. Don't worry." He said smirking and went near Grace, "You have two options, one is.. to come with me and satisfy my needs and the second one is.. you can pack your thing and say goodbye to your job. So, Which one is yours?" he said behind her ear which made her eyes widened in shock and her body was shaking in fear.

"N-no.." she said stuttering. A gulp formed in her throat which made her stutter. She can't accept that and asked him shivering, "please sir, don't do this."

"Choose wisely." He said with a wink.

Her tears betrayed her and flowed down her cheeks like a waterfall but he doesn't show any concern. His stupid smirk is still there and that made her sob even more because of fear. "Sir, please I need this job. Please don't do this sir." She asked him while sobbing.

"Then choose the first option, I'll even give you a bonus which is enough for your yearly expenses." He said.

"NO... I'm not like that." She said instantly in an angry tone. He doesn't like her tone and clutched her hair yanking her head towards him which makes her cry in pain.

"Don't ever speak to me in that tone." He warned her and released her hair. He is behaving like a psychopath and our innocent grace became his prey today. He called the head to the room and told her to fire her. That's when Grace got to know that he is the son of the owner of that bar.

Rene, the head smiled and took the opportunity to fire her. She never liked Grace because she is more beautiful than her. She doesn't want to lose the opportunity, "Pack your things, you bitch. How dare you disrespect our owner's son?" she said while smiling inwardly.

"Please Rene, you know how much I need this job. Please tell them not to do this. I'm really sorry for everything. Please, Rene." She pleaded for her job while sobbing.

"Your tears don't affect anyone. Just pack your things and get out of my face now." She shouted the last part which makes Grace take a step back. She thought that there is no use in asking her and ran towards the changing room, changed her dress and ran exiting the club to nowhere.

She is running and crying her heart out and lost her direction. It was almost midnight when she realised that she was lost and her fear increased by the second. She walked and walked until she reached a dark alley which scares her even more. She took her phone out of her pocket to call someone but to her luck, the phone battery also betrayed her at the same time.

She placed her phone back in her pocket and walked towards the street light and sat on the bench near the light.

"What should I do now? I lost my only job.

How can I show my face to my dad and tell him that I can't provide medicines to him? How can I complete my graduation now?

I don't know how much time will it take to get a new job. And where the hell am I? And how the hell did I reach this place and how can I go to my house?

Why God, why is this happening to me?" she talked to herself sobbing hard in her arms.

"Awe, why is this beautiful face crying?" Her heart stopped hearing that voice.
