Chapter 402
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
After using the two million given by Zachary entirely to sponsor Jeffreyâs factory, Charlotte was left with only a few hundred thousand in her bank account. She could barely make ends meet with that amount of money for the next few months.
While Henry would be paying for Jamieâs medical fees by obligation, Charlotte would have to pay Raina for Mrs. Berryâs medical fees.
All in all, she had no choice but to work even harder to earn the money that she needed.
While she could have easily made some extra cash by singing at Bar DTT, it had already closed down.
Should I find another bar?
When bars hired resident singers, it was usually on a freelance basis, so she could just do the job for three months.
With that idea in mind, Charlotte searched for recruitment advertisements for bars on her mobile application for job hunting. There were many bars hiring singers, but none of them paid as generously as Bar DTT.
However, she also knew that she had only made so much money at Bar DTT because Chris had some connections there.
Gosh, I guess I have no choice but to try them.
And so, Charlotte sent her resume to the bars that she had found through the mobile application.
She always had two versions of her resume saved in her files. One would be written to apply to large corporations like Divine Corporation, and the other was intended for finding a side hustle like singing at a bar or being a piano teacher.
Now that she had sent out her resume, all that she could do was wait and hope for the best.
âCharlotte?â All of a sudden, a girlâs voice called out for her.
Looking up, she met eyes with a youthful, cute girl who looked somewhat familiar.
âItâs me! Iâm Olivia! Do you remember me?â she asked boisterously.
âOh, hi!â
Charlotte soon remembered that Olivia was the girl whom she had helped at the party in Ashenville Garden. She was a pianist and student at the H City Music Academy.
âWhat a coincidence! Iâm so happy to meet you here. Iâve always wanted to contact you, but I havenât had the chance to because Iâm so busy working,â Olivia said.
âItâs alright. Itâs great that we somehow meet again. By the way, howâre your hands? Let me have a look!â Charlotte replied.
Crossing her arms and trying to hide her hands, Olivia murmured, âThey are fine now⦠Urgh⦠â
Charlotte sighed and pulled Oliviaâs hands toward her.
Upon looking at Oliviaâs hands, Charlotte froze momentarily. Although her wounds had mostly healed, her slender, beautiful hands had become scar-ridden. Furthermore, some of her wounds seemed to be so deep that they caused damage to her nerves, meaning that she would never be able to play piano the same as before.
Thinking back on Sharonâs inhuman behavior, Charlotteâs heart throbbed. Holding back her anger and sorrow, she asked, âOlivia, can you still play the piano now?â
âOf course, I can but my playing is not as good as before. Nowadays, few would want to hire me to play.â
Tears welled up in Oliviaâs eyes.
âLast time, when you went on stage on my behalf, you won the audience over, and I got a new job opportunity. Though my boss is a nice person, I couldnât perform my best when I went to work the other day, and he advised me to find another job after giving me two thousand,â Olivia continued, inhaling deeply to calm herself down.
âItâs okay. There will be more opportunities to come. I can help you⦠â Charlotte felt very sorry for her.
âCharlotte, donât worry. Iâve found a new job. Iâm working as a promoter now, and I get at least a thousand each night. Considering the bonuses that I receive, Iâm earning even more than before!â
Olivia was surprisingly optimistic about her situation.
âThat much money? Where are you working at? Can I join you?â Charlotteâs eyes lit up.q
