The manager’s words could be considered quite unpleasant and vicious.
It was hard for someone to endure calling a pure girl a “slut”.
The girl’s heart was beating rapidly. It was obvious that she had rushed all the way here in a hurry and had already tried her best not to waste a minute. She was not deliberately absent or late.
However, she did not explain nor get angry. Instead, she bit her lip and said, “I’m sorry! It won’t happen again! Please give me another chance. I really need this job…”
If anyone looked at this girl carefully, they would discover that there were still traces of tears at the corners of her eyes despite her bright eyes and sharp teeth. Her long and thick natural curly hair was a little messy, and there were some bruises under her high collar. The coffee shop apron at her waist was even wrinkled like a rag.
Furthermore, her hand had been supporting the counter gently, as if she could not stand steadily. Her slender legs were slightly tilted out in an awkward manner, as if they were trembling uncontrollably.
The usher could not be bothered to look at her and waved his hand impatiently. “Get lost!”
The girl lowered her eyes.
This was the tenth job she had done in the month since she came to the capital from Qingcheng. She could not continue the previous nine jobs because of sexual harassment by the bosses.
It was not easy to find this cafe. It was still considered proper. Even though the female boss had a vicious mouth, at least she would not harass her. If she could endure it, she would.
But an accident happened at work this afternoon… When she went to deliver coffee to the guest in the presidential suite upstairs, she was dragged into a dark room by an unfamiliar man…
She closed her eyes.
She was unlucky to have encountered that kind of thing, but she did not want to be absent for four to five hours. Who asked that man to have such abnormal physical strength and trap her for so long…
So, she could not keep this tenth job?
She took a deep breath and untied her wrinkled apron…
Just as she was about to leave…
A waiter with sharp eyes leaned over and whispered into the manager’s ear, “Sister, weren’t you in a dilemma just now? Don’t you know how to handle Boss Liu’s instructions? You wanted her to do that thing for Boss Liu… If something happens, she can take the blame…”
The manager squinted and thought for a while before calling out to the girl. “Miss Qiao, get back here! Finish your work for today first and send coffee to a guest! This is cardamom powder. The two male guests by the window asked for the new cardamom coffee. Hurry up and sprinkle it for them!”
The girl looked up and her nose twitched.
This wasn’t any cardamom powder at all!
Although she didn’t serve at the cafe for a few days, she was good at studying and had a photographic memory.
She was all too familiar with the smell of nutmeg. This definitely wasn’t nutmeg. Instead, it resembled that man in the presidential suite just now…
She immediately became alert!
She had seen how crazy that man was after drinking the tea.
She glanced at the manager and realized that she was rushing to a corner. An oily middle-aged man who was curled up on the sofa made an OK gesture.
A terrifying thought surfaced in her mind.
What was she doing to the guest? Was she going to drug the guest?
Should she do it? Or not?
If she didn’t do it, she would lose her job! But if she pretended not to know how to do it, her conscience wouldn’t be able to take it.
“Why are you still standing there like a log? If you don’t want to do it, then get lost immediately!” Her boss roared in a low voice.
She swallowed her saliva and concealed the despair and struggle in her heart. “Okay, I’ll go.”
What was conscience? She was about to lose her life and her innocence had been defiled completely. She was going to sleep on the streets tonight. Who was going to talk to her about conscience?
Those were just two male guests, not women. Even if they took the medicine, they wouldn’t suffer a loss.
However, when she walked towards that table of customers step by step, the coffee cup in her hand trembled uncontrollably!
Xiao Ning!
Gu Qiqi!
The two guests dressed as boys were once her best friends!
Her surname wasn’t actually Qiao. Her name was Yun Qiao.
