His Assistant

Issues at Work

    Night fall, and I got ready for work. I was still not sure about tomorrow so I just came to work to think things through a little more. Once I changed into my working clothes, I was told to attend the VIP guest. I hate that room with a passion.

 "I wish someone else would attend the VIP." I huffed.
 
"Well, you're the customers favorite waitress. You're the hottest girl here." Patricia winked at me. She's a good friend.

    "It's a curse." I joked, she just chuckled. I grabbed a bottle of wine and some snacks and took them to the VIP room.

    "Hot damn, how about you give me a nice lap dance, and maybe more." A man said while eyeing me up and down.

    "That's not part of my job, I'm just a waitress." I told him while putting down the bottle along with the glasses.

    "I guess I will need to have a talk with your boss." With that said, he left the room.

I left the room and went to the bar where Patricia was. "I hate this job."

    "So do I, but the pay is good. Sometimes we just have to suck it up and be thankful we have a job."

I know she's right, but I don't want to be in this job forever. Then I have Mateo who offered me a job. But am I good enough to work for someone so powerful? It's a little scary.

    "Kristy, the boss wants you." Raul said with a concerned look.

    "Is it bad? was he angry?"

    "He's always angry. But what else is new. Scream really loud if something happens, we will be right there and beat his ass."

    "Here goes nothing." I sighed. I left the bar and went to his office.

    "Kristy, I heard from one of our best customers that you refused a lap dance!?" He was raising his voice; I hate when people raise their voices. "If he wants to go further you will allow it!"

     "That's not part of my job and you know it, I'm just a waitress. I refuse to touch the clients in that way. I'm not a hooker!" With that said, he slapped me.

   He grabbed my wrist really tight and pull me closer to him, "If you want to keep earning really good, do what the clients want." He grabbed my face really hard, "Understood!" Tears were falling. I don't deserve to be treated this way.

    "No, I quit and you can shove this club up your ass!" He didn't like my answer, he punched me really hard.

    "Like hell you will." He grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the club, "I own you, without this job, you're nothing. I expect you here tomorrow." With that said he closed the door.

   Asshole, if he thinks I'm returning here he has another thing coming his way. No one owns me, I'm not a damn trophy. I wiped my tears and went home.

    Once inside my house, I ran to my bedroom and locked it. I took a long shower and cried. I hate this day. There was a knock on my door but I ignored it. I just wanted some space, today has been awful. After my bath, I changed into my pjs and opened my door. I saw Jojo and Chloe standing in the hallway. They didn't say anything, they just hugged me.

........

    The next day I got ready, Jojo took Chloe to class. Even if I felt like shit, I had to get up and go to that interview. After last night events, it made my decision really easy to make. Once I was done, I made my way to his building.

    A luxury one, I've never been to this part of the city, mainly cause this side is all filled with rich people. I got out of the car and went inside, and it was really beautiful.

    "Hi, I'm here for an interview with Mateo Hawthorne."

   The girl eyed me up and down, and laugh. "For what, look at you. No designers' clothes, and no makeup can hide that awful bruise. Do yourself a favor and leave."

    "One more comment like that and you're fired." We turned to see a guy. He was the one next to Mateo that night.

    "Sir, this girl has no business in being here. I was just saving the boss the hassle of dealing with her." She told him.

    "Mateo is expecting her, next time you talk to anyone else like this, you will be fired, understood?"

    "Yes sir." She went back to what she was doing.

   He motioned me to follow him and that's what I did. I was scared, my heart was beating really fast. I really hope this interview goes really well, after last night, I need this job more than anything else.

    "Good luck, Kristy." He smiled. "I'm Liam Smith." We shook hands and he told me to go inside. I knocked on the door and he told me to come inside.

    "Mr. Hawthorne?"

    "Hello, Miss Hale, I've been expecting you." He gave me a devilish smirk. Oh boy.
