Love Together, Be With You Never

“Mr. Charles!” All the hostesses looked down and stepped backward. Even Cheryl gave way respectfully. A path suddenly opened up in the crowded main hall.

The man walked in and he exuded a chilling atmosphere. Immediately the entire main hall felt cold with his presence. Just as I wanted to take a step back, kaboom, another loud thunder clapped and the lightning lit up the entire hall. I was stunned as the man walked past me and then turned around to look at me.

My mind was blank in the midst of the lightning and thunder. I only saw the bloodshot eyes of the man looking devilishly at me. The man had gone upstairs when I came to my senses but I will never forget the moment when our eyes met, especially those bloodshot eyes.

So the devilish man was Kieran.

Kieran! This name was like a ghost story that I read when I was a kid and had left a deep impression on me.

“Snap out of it. Can you start work today?” Cheryl patted my shoulders.

“Of course!” I composed myself and nodded.

“Come with me!” I went with Cheryl to her office and completed some simple employment procedures. She briefly instructed me on the rules and regulations and then called a girl by the name of Summer to show me around.

I looked dumbfounded at Summer. Summer looked barely twenty years old and had a babyface. She certainly looked out of place in the nightclub.

Summer could detect my thoughts and smiled radiantly, “Hi, I’m Summer and eighteen years old today. I’m not under-aged!”

I was speechless. Eighteen years old and …

“What’s your name?” Summer tilted her head playfully.

“I’m Rachel!” I expected Summer to have some unmentionable difficulties by working here. But when I saw her radiant smile I totally couldn’t detect any sadness or desperation which made me admire her.

“From today onwards, I’ll be your senior!” Summer laughed and tapped my arm.

I smiled and acknowledged.
