Upon meeting the new manager in the office, Charlotte almost jumped. He was Peter Jones, the former owner of Bar DTT!
“It's you?” Peter exclaimed, looking equally surprised as her.
“It's been a while, huh?” Charlotte mumbled awkwardly. After all, she was well aware that the closing of Bar DTT was closely linked to her. Oh, god. Will he still employ me? I've cost him to lose so much money!
“You two are acquainted?” Olivia raised an eyebrow.
“Yes. Olivia, you can go ahead and do your tasks now. I'll talk to her,” Peter said, smiling.
Charlotte also gave her a nod. Olivia blinked. “Okay... I'll go work now. Call me if anything comes up!” she said as she left.
“Okay!”
Then, he pulled Charlotte to take a seat and poured her a drink. “When I heard Olivia talking about introducing a friend to work here, I was expecting another student from a music school. I did not expect to meet you here at all!”
“Even I. I've caused you so much trouble, but I've never apologized in proper... “ Charlotte squirmed around uncomfortably.
“It's not your fault. Mr. Broid was the one who provoked Mr. Nacht. He should be the one to apologize,” Peter chuckled.
Charlotte smiled stiffly, and made no other comments.
“To tell you the truth, Mr. Broid was drugged that night. Those things that he did to you, he did not mean them at all. Did... did the two of you... You know, do the deed that night?” Peter continued, squinting his eyes.
“No, no. Of course, not!” Charlotte shook her head frantically.
“Okay, that's good to know. Mr. Broid is actually really fond of you, in a genuine way. I've never seen him treat another girl that way. That night was really just an accident,” Peter lamented, letting out a deep sigh.
“It's all in the past. There's no need to delve deeper. And about my job application, are you willing to let me work here?” Charlotte diverted the topic.
“What do you mean am I willing? Of course, I'll take you in, simple as that. But hold on, aren't you Mr. Nacht's girlfriend? Why are you hunting for a job here? Did the two of you split through?” Peter replied.
