《His Proposal》His Proposal - 8.
Advertisement
At 3 pm, I gather my things and then look at my sister. "I have to leave soon. Will you be alright until your brother gets here?"
She nods. "I'm a big girl now. I don't need Nate and you here all the time."
Laughing, I say. "Of course you do. What would you do without us?"
She pulls a book out from behind her bed. "I like to read at times, but you like to talk a lot."
Shaking my head, before I throw a pillow at her. "You've never complained before."
"You haven't been around that much to complain to." She says laughing.
Hugging her. "I'll see you after work." I pick up my handbag and exit the room.
She waves at me and I make my way out of the hospital.
Climbing into my car I head home to get ready for work.
At home, I go through my closet and pull out a tight black dress. I place it on the bed and then head to the bathroom. I turn the shower on and step in and wash my hair and body.
After the shower, I wrap a towel around my head and another around my body. I walk into the bedroom and put on a black matching pair of underwear. I pull the dress over my head and pull it down, just in case it catches somewhere. I put my feet into a pair of black ballet flats. Walking over to the vanity I pick up the brush and brush my hair. I put my hair into a ponytail and then lightly apply make-up.
Pulling my car into the parking lot of Lusive, I grab my purse and lock the car before heading towards the club.
A bouncer looks at me. "You're the new bartender, right?"
"Yes, I am."
He opens the door for me. "I'm Ethan. My brother Alex is in there somewhere you might meet him tonight. Have a good shift." As I pass him, he whispers. "You look great in the dress." He winks at me.
"Thanks," my face starts to heat up. "I'll see you later, Ethan." I enter the bar and loud music is pumping throughout the room.
At the bar, Max looks up from serving his customer. "Well if it isn't the new bar wench."
"Ha, ha, ha," I say sarcastically. "It's not like I haven't heard that one before. Where can I put my stuff?"

Jai approaches the bar and looks me over. A smile spreads across his face. "You look great." He whispers in my ear and makes me jump. He puts his arm around my shoulder. "Before, you start I need you to come upstairs and fill out some forms."
Following him up to the office, he sits behind his desk and pulls out some papers from in the draw. "I need some identification."
Pulling out drivers licence I look at it and it still has my old address on it.
I forgot to change it. I hope that he'll accept it.
He takes the licence from me and looks it over. "I see you haven't had a chance to change the address yet."
I'll have to do it during the week.
"I'll change it during the week. Does it matter about my address?"
He looks up from the printer. "Your address isn't important. All I need from you is an Emergency Contact Person."
The only person I can think of is my brother. He's one of the remaining Knight family members left alive. The rest of my family have been killed. That's what my parents told me when I asked her about other family members.
I write his name on the paper and give it back to him.
Jai looks at the name. "Is Nate your father?"
Shaking my head, I say. "He's my brother."
"Why do you have him as your emergency contact person?"
"I don't have anyone else." I open the door to the office. "I'm going downstairs to start my shift since I finished filling out all your forms." I shut the door and walk down the stairs. I step behind the bar and look at Max. "I'm back."
Max shows me how to use the till.
It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it. All I have to do is look up the drink type and select it. The price will come up on the register.
Max lets me use the till until I have all the prices in my head. "Do you know how to make drinks?"
"Yes," I turn towards him. "I used to work in a bar when I was in college. If I have any problems I will ask for help."
"Okay,"
A couple takes a seat at the far end of the bar and I walk over to them.
"Hey, what can I get you?"
"I'll have a Riesling," the female says.

The guy next to her says. "I'll have a beer. Anything on tap will do, sweetheart."
Walking over to the fridge I pour the woman a glass of wine and put it on the counter in front of her. Then pour the guy his beer. I tell them how much the drinks are.
He gives me the money and I put it in the cash register. I give him his change and they move away from the bar.
Hearing the phone ring in the office I walk into it and answer the phone. "Hello, this is Chloe."
"Chloe, can you bring me a Jack Daniels?"
"I'll be up in a minute, Boss."
Hanging up the phone I pour a shot for the Boss.
Max looks at me. "Where are you going with that?"
"The boss asked me to bring it to him. He just called."
He shakes his head. "The boss wouldn't call. He doesn't drink."
Someone hasn't been to the Bosses office before. I've seen his stash there. For some reason he wants me to go up there.
Looking at the camera, I ask Max. "Do you want to anger the boss? If he doesn't get his drink soon, I'm sure you'll hear from him."
"Go! I've got the customers to serve." He walks over to a group of girls and starts flirting with them.
Stepping out from behind the bar I make my way to the stairs. Before I can go any further a girl blocks my way to the office. She crosses her arms and glares at me. "Where do you think you're going?"
"Upstairs."
She shakes her head. "No one is allowed up there except for the boss and his girlfriend. I know for a fact that you're not his girlfriend."
"I'm not, but he requested a drink from me and I'm going to give it to him. Get out of my way or I'll show you what I'm capable of." Putting the shot glass on a step I look at the girl in front of me.
She has black hair that reaches her shoulders, her face is caked with make-up. She's wearing a dress that's too small for her. Her boobs are practically popping out of the dress.
I wonder if Jai knows this woman protects his office.
She moves towards me.
"Don't," Jai yells. "Step away from Chloe."
The girls turns in his direction. "Why is she allowed up there? I've been around for years and you choose another woman over me." She points at me. "What's so special about this one?"
Smirking, I say. "I have balls. That's something you lack." Picking up the shot glass I send her wink as I climb the stairs to the boss's office.
Jai steps aside. He throws his arm over my shoulders and whispers. "What were your parting words to the girl? Cause it looked like she tasted something off."
I laugh. "I told her I have balls and that's something she's lacking."
He laughs. "You're the first person to say something like that to her. That girl has been guarding those stairs for years and she still hasn't had any luck climbing them."
Taking a seat I turn towards him and say. "Why am I the one that you let up here?"
Jai's shrugs. "I don't know. There's something that I like about you, but I can't put my finger on it."
Giving him his drink. "I'll let you get back to work. I don't want Max to get annoyed that I'm taking too long up here with the Boss. I wouldn't want him to think something is going on with us."
I can't believe I said all that in front of Jai Marshall. The Billionaire that could have any woman.
Quickly exiting the room I make my way to the bar and start serving people who want a drink.
At 10 pm, Jai walks out of his office and walks down the stairs. He stops to talk to a girl and she places her manicured hands on him. He looks up when he notices that I'm staring at him.
I divert my eyes and continue to wipe down the bar.
Jai walks over to me. "I'll walk you out, Chloe." He leads the way out of the club. When we get outside, he follows me to the car. "You did a great job tonight. Here are your tips." He puts a bunch of bills in my hand.
This is too much.
Looking at him, I say. "I can't take it."
"Take it or I'll put it in the glove compartment. Your choice."
"Thanks," I take it from him. "I'll see you tomorrow."
He shakes his head. "I'll be out of town for the next two weeks. I'll see you when I get back. Listen to Max while I'm gone. If you have any problems Ethan and Alex will help you out." Jai opens the car door for me.
"Okay," I climb into the car and start the engine. I pull away from the nightclub and head in the direction of the hospital.
