Those eyes...
Where have I seen them before?
She has a past that seems to follow her everywhere. On the run, she starts working at a club, his club, as a stripper for the infamous Shayne Hayes, the mafia leader that everyone is scared of.
She knows...
I was at the diner when one of my co-workers came up to me. "Your phone is ringing none stop in the break room."
"Thanks." I said going into the room, took up my bag and searched for my phone. When I found it, it had 5 miss calls from Kate my best friend, which you know as KitKat and few messages. I immediately called her back.
"Hi girl." I said when she answered.
"Don't hi me, why weren't you answering your phone?"
"I'm still working which is why we have to hurry this conversation before the dick of the manager realizes I'm gone."
"Didn't you get the message that all the workers had to come in early today to meet the boss?"
"No. This is the first time I'm checking my phone from since the gas station."
"Well the meeting starts in 15 minutes."
"Shit and you know he won't let me go early."
"Yeah cause he loves to watch your body as you work." She said laughing at her own statement.
"I'll be late-"
"As usual but I'll try to cover for you."
"Thanks and this is why I love you."
"Girl stop, your making me blush." We both burst out laughing.
"Melanie!" I heard the manager calling me.
"Girl he's coming, I got to go."
"Bye." I quickly hang up throwing my phone in my bag, putting it the space allotted to me. I ran out to meet him at the entrance.
"What are you doing behind here? There are customers to be served." He said angrily.
"I went to the bathroom." I thanked the lord that the employee's bathroom was also behind here.
"Get your cute ass back to work." He said slapping my butt. I gritted my teeth , then placed a smile on my face, going back to work.
30 minutes later my shift was over, I got my things and rushed to my car. I needed all the jobs I had, I couldn't lose any. Soon I arrived at the club, still in the diner uniform. At this point I didn't care. I felt my phone buzz, so I took it out and saw I got a message from Kate, saying to use the front door. I followed her instructions, going in no one was there but a few customers so I continued going into the back, to the changing area.
I opened the door there sat all the workers. "It's nice of you to join us." Said a voice I didn't recognize. I saw the manager sitting amongst the workers. What's going on. "Please have a seat." The voice said.
"Sorry. " I said looking for Kate, finally finding her and saw she saved a seat for me. As soon as I sat down a body moved out the shadows going to the front. It was the man from last night, the one who was smoking against the wall out back and when he saw I was in danger, he outed it coming to see if I was alright.
He was tall, well built and had the most prettiest eyes I've ever seen besides mine of course. I might be over exaggerating but I don't care. He was dressed comfortably, in a grey jacket, black jeans, black and grey sneakers with a black hat.
**Him**

"As I was saying before I was interrupted..." He said continuing his speech.
When he was finished he said, "You all may leave and start to work except the girl who came in last."
I immediately started to panic, I'm gonna lose my job now. Kate must have seen my face, she gently squeezed my hand before I walked into the direction of the man.
"Yes sir." I said when I reached him.
"Come to my office." He said. I followed him to the managers office.
"So you gonna tell me your name now."
"Huh?"
"Last night you said you will tell me your name the next time, well that is now."
"Then I said probably not."
He held out his hand and I reluctantly took it shaking it. "I'm Shayne Hayes, your boss and you are."
"Straw-" I started saying but he gave me a look that made me stop talking one time. "It's Melanie Robinson."
"Melanie why are you late and wearing that?"
"Well I have another job, like most people here and I couldn't get off early for the meeting."
"Try not to be late again."
"Okay sir." I said then left the room to get ready for work since I was already here. Today I'm a bartender/ waitress. The only days I'm on the stage is Wednesday's, Friday's and Saturday's.
I want in the changing area and put on a short leather pants with a matching top, barely covering my boobs. Me and Kate basically had the same shift that's how we became friends, today she was also waitressing. I waited for her to finish getting dressed then we went out together. While going out one of our coworkers bumped into us.
"Watch where your going." She said.
"But it was you who need to watch where you are going." I said to her. She rolled her eyes walking off. Because she's sleeping with Dick the manager, sorry meant Rick, she thinks she owns the place.
"Plastic Bitch!" Kate shouted at her. I laughed, Kate really doesn't have a filter and that's what I love about her.
We continued going out and did our various jobs till our shift ended at 1 am. I was exhausted mainly because I didn't get to sleep today so I went home, as soon as my head it the pillow, I was out.
**Shayne's P.O.V**
I was checking the books when my phone rang, grabbing my attention. I looked up at the clock it was after 1. I searched for my phone finally found it under a pile of papers, answering it.
"Boss."
"Yes." I said feeling like bad news is coming.
"One of the containers was lost but I'm tracking it now. The police has the other one."
"Get Larry to get it out, I pay him enough so our shipments can come in easily without the police knowing. "
"But it might be a little hard since they know it existed. "
"I. Don't. Care!" I said my fist pounding the table.
"I'll tell him right away."
"Oli what did you find out about Rick?"
"His bank account is way fuller than it should be. I'm trying to see where the money is coming from but I know is coming from that club. He's playing smart, he sends small amounts to other accounts, then sends the money monthly making it look like a salary. Right now I'm trying to link the other accounts to him."
"Good job. I realize that the camera to the back of the club still isn't fixed."
"I tried but it isn't working so I'm gonna let them install a new one later today."
"Okay. I also want you to find out everything you know about Melanie Robinson. "
"Who is she boss?"
"One of the workers here but I have this feeling like we meet before."
