Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 10

“Mr. Charles!” All the hostesses looked down and stepped backward. Even Cheryl gave way respectfully. A path suddenly opened up in the crowded main hall.

The man walked in and he exuded a chilling atmosphere. Immediately the entire main hall felt cold with his presence. Just as I wanted to take a step back, kaboom, another loud thunder clapped and the lightning lit up the entire hall. I was stunned as the man walked past me and then turned around to look at me.

My mind was blank in the midst of the lightning and thunder. I only saw the bloodshot eyes of the man looking devilishly at me. The man had gone upstairs when I came to my senses but I will never forget the moment when our eyes met, especially those bloodshot eyes.

So the devilish man was Kieran.

Kieran! This name was like a ghost story that I read when I was a kid and had left a deep impression on me.

“Snap out of it. Can you start work today?” Cheryl patted my shoulders.

“Of course!” I composed myself and nodded.

“Come with me!” I went with Cheryl to her office and completed some simple employment procedures. She briefly instructed me on the rules and regulations and then called a girl by the name of Summer to show me around.

I looked dumbfounded at Summer. Summer looked barely twenty years old and had a babyface. She certainly looked out of place in the nightclub.

Summer could detect my thoughts and smiled radiantly, “Hi, I’m Summer and eighteen years old today. I’m not under-aged!”

I was speechless. Eighteen years old and …

“What’s your name?” Summer tilted her head playfully.

“I’m Rachel!” I expected Summer to have some unmentionable difficulties by working here. But when I saw her radiant smile I totally couldn’t detect any sadness or desperation which made me admire her.

“From today onwards, I’ll be your senior!” Summer laughed and tapped my arm.

I smiled and acknowledged.

When a person lived in difficult environments, the person would protect herself by concealing her personal issues. So why should I be overly curious? But I need to learn to smile radiantly like Summer.

Summer brought me around to familiarize myself with the place and taught me the basics. Then I found out that this nightclub was the largest in the city called YES Club.

“Does that Mr. Charles come frequently?” I thought about last night’s woman who was covered in blood and tonight’s disfigured woman. They seemed to be the work of Kieran. I was scared of him.

Summer answered me with a strange look, “Don’t you know?”

“Know what?”

Summer pulled me to a corner and said softly, “Mr. Charles comes every night and each night he will come exactly at midnight!”

“But it’s nine o’clock now!” I looked at the wall clock.

Summer rolled her eyes, “He was early today.” Summer continued but murmured in bewilderment, “For so many years he had never been early and came exactly at midnight. It’s so strange for him to come early tonight!”

When I heard about it, I also found it strange that he would come at a specific time every day.

“Do we receive all sorts of customers here? Yesterday that hostess was so severely injured. Doesn’t the boss care?” I felt uneasy when I thought about the woman who was covered in blood yesterday.

Summer now looked at me with a strange surprise, “Rachel, what era are you living in? Don’t you know that the boss is dead?”
