Outside the private room

Ivy heaved a sigh of relief as she leaned against the wall, she hated those types of people. Better give this room to someone else tonight she thought. Ivy didn't think she could hold her tongue if she went back in to serve that woman again. She had nearly moo'd at her when she said cow earlier. Her stuck up face would have been too funny she thought. That man though mmm very tasty and her type. Tall, muscular with his dark hair swept back, strong chiselled jaw and a sexy smirk. All together too yummy she thought. Ivy went back to the kitchen to see Pierce.

​​

"No good Pierce give that table to someone else or I'll lose my job tonight".

Ivy leaned on the kitchen counter and whinged at her best friend.

"Dammit, it would have been good tips for you".

"It's ok plenty of other table's and I'll go on the computer later to check for an extra job".

Ivy smiled at him reassuringly.

"You are always so busy. Here eat this".

Pierce hands her a plate and gets back to work.

"Oh my god thank you, Pierce".

Ivy kissed him on the cheek and sat at the side of the kitchen and stuffed her face full of pasta.

"Hamster you look like you haven't eaten all week. You have to look after yourself".

Pierce is always looking out for her and vice versa.

"At least I'm a cute hamster. Those people out there don't know how to enjoy food".

Ivy finished up and went about clearing other tables and taking orders. She's not done too badly tonight in tips, she thought as she put them in her purse before going back onto the floor. Ivy walked through the floor checking if anyone needs anything and spotted the handsome man leaning against the wall, talking on the phone outside his private room. Ivy walked past but he puts his arm out to stop her. Ivy looked up at him and he says goodbye and hangs up the phone.

"You didn't come back".

She raised her eyebrow and smiled at his choice of words.

"Miss me?".

Oh no, that was too flirty she thought.

"Mmm, you were my entertainment".

"Sorry to disappoint but my job isn't to entertain you".

"Here for her rudeness".

He hands her a roll of notes. She smirked back at him.

"My entertainment value is higher than that and instead of money I'd prefer to teach her how to talk to people".

Ivy put the money in his dress pocket and walked away.

"Interesting". He said as he walked away.

He had only stayed to eat as he wanted to see her again. It wasn't something he would usually do but this woman intrigued him. She was a petite little wild cat that could pretend to be cute or bare her claws. She had also stood up to him which no man would do let alone a woman. Women surrounded him for power and money he didn't want anything to do with them but this little kitten was fun to be around.

Returning to the room he drank his wine and sat for a while longer, going through with the formalities of the evening. He left soon after saying goodbye to Mr Fu and his family he turned to Aiden his secretary.

"Let's not book any dinner's with Mr Fu again".

"Yes, sir I'll get the car".

He walked to the side of the restaurant taking out his phone to make a call when he was struck on the back of the head and pulled into the side alley.

Kitchen

"You know that private room seven big boss even tried to slip me some money. God there all the same. Money will buy my silence or a kiss. Stuff him and his money".

"Your right not to take it, what if it had meant something else you can't be too careful". Pierce was worried about the seedy part of this job and wanted Ivy to stay safe.

"I know I know that's why I shoved it in his pocket. His suit is probably worth more than my whole wardrobe. I'm going out for some fresh air. The ladies out there drown themselves in such heavy flowery perfume it's making my head sore".

"No problem, I'll see someone look out for your tables for ten minutes".

Ivy nodded at Pierce and walked out taking a big breath of air into her lungs. She heard a scuffle, who would be in the alley this late she thought. Ivy walked further down and a man is on the ground and two men standing over him.

Ivy crept over and kicked one to the ground as the other takes a lunge at her, she grabbed his arm and twisted it till she heard a crack. As he screams out Ivy brings his face down to her knee hearing another crack, with his nose and arm broke the man screams.

The other guy gets up from the ground and grabs her by the neck, Ivy elbows his stomach where she had just kicked then elbowed his groin, with him bent over she kicked him again. Both men now lying on the ground they get up, stumble then away and run.

Ivy kneeled and she sees the handsome man from private room seven. Ivy checked his pulse he is ok thankfully. Ivy sees he has blood trailing from his head so she takes off her neck scarf and wrapped it around his head. Not very fashionable she knows but it'll stop the bleeding. Checking that there are no other injuries on his body she then helped him up and walked out of the alley. Where she sees the man who was seated next to him at the dinner table, he rushes up to them.

"Oh thank goodness, what happened".

"Help me get him in the car".

He helps Ivy place the handsome man in the back seat and she tells him about the two men in the alley and his injury.

"Better get him to the hospital".

"Thank you, miss".

He runs into the car and takes off.

"Well, Mr handsome I'll be seeing ya".

Men like that are like dragons, legendary, powerful and dangerous. He no doubt has enemy's Ivy thought to check when she gets home who her Mr handsome is.
