Chapter 73 Dianaâs pov However, things didnât go as smoothly as I imagined.
I have been working on the top floor for three whole days, but I have never seen Lewis Lee. Actually, apart from Knight, I have never met anyone else in the photo.
I leaned against the bar, absentmindedly wiping a glass, pondering how to see Lewis Lee.
Someone called me.
âAlex?â
I regained my senses and looked at the person.
It was my colleague Betty who lived in the same dormitory with me.
âWhat are you thinking? Iâve called you many times.â She grumbled discontentedly, picked up a glass and wiped it. âI really donât know whatâs special about you. You can even work with me on the top floor. Iâve been working hard below for three years before I finally got to the top floor.â
Betty rolled her eyes at me and leaned closer, âTell me, did you sleep with Knight?â I didnât pay attention to Bettyâs malicious speculation. Instead, I was more concerned about another matter.
She said she has been working here for three years. Did that mean she was familiar with this place?
Perhaps she would know something about Lewis Lee.
âI didnât...â I casually explained, pretending to be curious, âI was just thinking about what kind of man could run such a big nightclub.â
Upon hearing this, Betty stopped her movements.
âAre you talking about Lewis Lee?â She raised her eyebrows and looked at me.
I blinked and said, âIs our boss called Lewis Lee?â
Betty sneered, âYou donât even know his name. And you want to climb onto his bed?â
âBut I advise you to give up. Lewis canât possibly like you.â
I didnât rush to refute Betty, making her misunderstand may not be a bad thing for 1. me.
I followed her lead and asked, âWhy do you say that? I consider myself pretty. Does Lewis have such high standards?â.
âOf course, Lewis is the leader of Blood Shadow Pack! Not every woman can be favored by him.â
âBlood Shadow Pack!â I pretended to be surprised, âAre you saying heâs a gangster?â
âYouâre scared now?â Betty rolled her eyes, âSo donât dream of sleeping with him and becoming his wife.â
I looked at Betty hesitantly.
Betty was taken aback and said, âDonât tell me, you still want to see him.â
I smiled mischievously.
âI didnât originally think that way... but when I heard you say that, I became more curious.â
â...â Betty shook her head, âYouâre crazy!â
I ignored her ridicule and asked, âSpeaking of which, doesnât Lewis even come to our nightclub? Isnât he worried about the business here?â
âYouâve been here for three days. You should feel the booming business here.â
âBut...â
âMoreover, Lewisâ schedule is kept confidential. Even if he comes, he wonât let us insignificant people know.â
âWe are top waitresses,â I said, patting my chest. âDoesnât he need our service after he comes?â
âWho do you think you are? Are you qualified to serve Lewis?â Betty sneered disdainfully.
âAh?â I opened my mouth slightly and said in a flattering tone, âA newcomer like me definitely doesnât qualify, but Betty, youâve been here for three years. How could you be not qualified?â
Betty bit her lip.
âWhat do you know? Thatâs because every time Lewis comes, Mr. Knight specially arranges a group of trustworthy people to serve him.â
âMr. Knight doesnât trust you?â I pretended to be surprised.
âOf course not!â Betty quickly denied, âItâs because I donât want to go myself. Do you think serving Lewis is a good thing? You might not know how you die.â
I couldnât help but frown.
So even if I become a top waitress, I still canât get close to Lewis?
Damn it!
It seemed that I needed to come up with a new solution.
Another day later, as I passed by the doorstep, I heard a burst of crying..
I cautiously pushed open the door, and the scene made my pupils shrink slightly.
A beautiful young girl was kneeling on the ground with two strong men pressing her shoulders. Knight was staring at her with angry eyes.
âIf I could find a substitute, I would have skinned you. How dare you run away so many times?â Knight said fiercely, âThis is your last chance. If you dare to cause trouble again, I will cut off your legs!â
The girlâs face turned pale and she trembled with fear.
Knight waved his hands and instructed the two strong men, âLock her up. Mr. Lee is coming tomorrow night. I donât want any accidents to happen.â
Mr. Lee?
My heart trembled.
Who else would be respectfully called âMr. Leeâ by Knight besides Lewis Lee?
Knight said he was coming tomorrow night. Did that mean my opportunity was coming?
And the girl in front of me... If I was not mistaken, she was the person Knight arranged to serve Lewis Lee.
If I could replace her...
Just as I was thinking, the two strong men had set up the girl and walked towards where I was located.
I immediately hid behind the wall, ready to follow those two strong men and investigate where the girl would be imprisoned.
However, as soon as I took two steps, a voice full of pressure suddenly came from behind meâ
âAlex!â
My footsteps stopped and my heart almost stopped beating.
I used all my composure to force myself to turn around unchanged and show a pleasing smile.
âMr. Knight, what can I do for you?â
Knight didnât speak. He approached me step by step, and then pinched my chin.
A few seconds later, he asked, âDid you see or hear anything just now?â
I felt a stirring sensation in my heart, but I pretended to be puzzled. âWhat? I donât understand what you mean. I was just delivering wine to 4023. Are you asking what they are doing?â
My expression was so natural that Knight gradually dispelled the doubt in his eyes after staring at me for a long time.
However, his hand gripping my chin showed no intention of letting go.
âWith your face, you can actually replace that disobedient thing.â
Knight said an abrupt sentence.
But I understood.
He was saying that I could replace the girl to serve Lewis.
My heart was beating faster and faster.
Yes! Thatâs right! So let go of that poor girl and choose me! So I could get close to Lewis Lee!
Even though I felt excited in my heart, my expression remained innocent.
âMr. Knight, what are you saying?â
Knightâs eyes narrowed slightly.
âBut I canât bear it.â He smiled and then touched my face, saying, âIsnât it a pity to see such a beautiful face only a few times?â
His touch made me feel physiological nausea.
I suddenly remembered some gossip Iâve heard these days. It was said that Knight often used work as an excuse to rape girls.
Many beautiful girls who used to work at the top have suffered from him.
So, would I be his next goal?
I suppressed the feeling of nausea and smiled, âOr what do you need me to do for you?â
I was implying that he should replace that girl with me.
However, Knight released me.
âItâs nothing. You can go work,â he said.
One sentence turned my hope into despair.
âOkay,â I gritted my teeth and turned to leave.
But Knight stopped me again.
â9 oâclock tonight. You come to my room.â Knight lifted his hand that had just pinched my chin and sniffed, with a lewd smile on his face. âI have something to tell you.â
