“Well? Are you going to ask for a sick leave for Julia, I see." George said.
"Since you're asking for a leave for her, I'll be looking for you if anything happens to her."
This supervisor was over cautious. Angela looked at him and answered, "Okay."
She turned around and left, and after closing the door, she heard Timothy's voice coming from the inside vaguely.
Angela stood in front of the door for five seconds before walking to her dormitory.
It's a normal thing for a female employee in the club to have a sexual relationship with the supervisor.
Angela didn't think much, she went back to the dormitory, washed up briefly, and prepared to apply a facial mask.
At this time, Julia called, and told her she wouldn't be back tonight.
Timothy didn't come back either.
The next day, Angela was on a night shift, and she didn’t wake up until early noon.
She charged her phone and turned it on to check the time, only to find that it was already 10:30 a.m. and her sister-in-law had called her many times.
"What's wrong, sister-in-law?" Angela called Luna back.
Luna was worried, "I have called you many times, but could not get through. I thought something happened to you and almost went to the Dream Club to find you!"
"Nothing happened; my phone was out of battery." Angela rubbed her head and said.
"It's good you’re okay." Luna's voice was full of worry, "I didn't call for anything, just to see if you’re fine. Your brother and I are worried ... about that incident happened the day before yesterday, and we are afraid of James’ revenge."
The day before yesterday, that was the day when Angela seduced James and then got thrown out naked by him. Angela's hand clutching the phone tightened, and after a long time of silence, she said, "There is no need for you and brother to worry."
She laughed at herself. "I went to jail for two years and was still fine, and the Dream Club is better than jail."
Hearing this, Luna became more worried, "Angela..."
"If James gives me a hard time, I'll call you, and then you and brother can come to help me, okay?" Angela said with a smile.
Reluctantly reassured by her words, Luna gave her a piece of advice before hastily hanging up the phone.
Angela went to work as usual, but when it was close to eleven o'clock in the evening ,George asked her to come to his office.
Angela knocked on the door and entered, "George, are you looking for me?"
"Yes." George said.
"Julia didn't show up for work today either, you know that, right?"
Angela nodded, "She said she didn't have your number,so she asked Gabriela for a leave."
"Gabriela told me about Julia's absence. Don't be nervous, I'm just asking."
George pushed up his glasses and wanted to say something.
Angela placed both hands in front of her belly out of habit and said faintly.
"Just tell me what you want to say."
"Then... I'll say it directly."
George sighed, "You still remember this incident the day before yesterday when you went to see James and then got thrown out by him, right?"
Angela’s pupils shrunk, sweat quickly rose on her nose, and she answered, “Yes.”
What does George mean by that?
"Mr. Luis is going to throw a party on the rooftop tonight, and James asks you to clean the rooftop when the party is over."
