Chapter 64 Finding a job
Wendy wore a coat and a luxurious black dress with two luggage bags, walking quickly while looking everywhere. She moved quickly toward the barn and released the two dogs that Henry was keeping. They are very destructive and naughty, especially they hate Ted’s cats. They seem to like Wendy very much because she often comes here to feed them and take them for a walk with Henry in the garden, so they are very happy when they are released.
The two dogs get their freedom, they run away from the place and knock over things in the yard, making loud noises, then they run into the house and chase the cats running everywhere, They barked so loudly, fighting with the cats that Ted had to try to stop them.
Wendy took advantage of that situation to escape quickly, she ran towards the large gate of the house and tried to cling to the wall to climb up. It was quite high and made it difficult for her to climb. So Wendy found another somewhat reckless way of going back to the garden to find a ladder to prune Ted’s trees. But that’s okay, everything is still going smoothly when Wendy clicks on Ted’s delivery truck’s horn to distract him. While Gula was still inside a food warehouse and looking for the herbal ingredients she said, they only came in two varieties and the others didn’t make her think if she should go to the store and buy them?
When the two of them were messing around with a mess Wendy had created, she smoothly grabbed the ladder up the wall and climbed out of it with two luggage bags in hand. Once out of the place, she moved quickly toward a major road, then she took a taxi and told the driver to take her to a shopping place Wendy had seen in a magazine at Henry’s house. She paid for the taxi with Henry’s money when she saw that he kept some money in his pocket, it seemed he was careless and forgot it.
The first time Wendy went to a shopping mall, it was bigger than usual, she went inside and took a look. But with two big bulky handbags like this making Wendy a little uncomfortable, she thought about the jewelry she had taken, they were not safe to carry around. She had to think of a way to convert them into money, so she asked a salesman in the mall:
“Hey, I want to ask you something?”
The seller is confusing but still enthusiastic to help:
“Ma’am, what can I do for you?”
Wendy quickly asked:
“Do you know a place that sells jewelry?”
The shopkeeper smiled and replied:
“You can go to the 5th floor, the gems and jewelry section to sell them.”
Happy Wendy says:
“Oh. Do you also buy jewelry here? It was convenient for me, I thought it was just a place to sell clothes.”
The friendly salesman replied:
“No, here we have a full range of stores, supermarkets, cinemas, shopping malls, gems and jewelry trading and beauty spas.”
Wendy thanked and waved goodbye, she went up to the 5th floor with the strange escalator. She sold all her jewelry at that place and earned a large amount of money, enough for her to eat and drink and rent a room to live in. But first, she needed to buy a large suitcase and some clothes to wear and keep them safe.
After that, Wendy had a meal at a luxury restaurant and walked around the street to see this place. She found a room for rent while walking down the street, although it was a bit small and shabby, it was enough for Wendy, she had to save money to live long, so she rented it with very cheap price.
The young girl looked around the room and started cleaning, it was very good compared to the house she had lived in on the island, they were adequate and comfortable for one person. When she finished cleaning, she showered and went to bed, Wendy lay on the bed and thought about the future, thinking to herself:
“Tomorrow, I will start applying for a job?”
Wendy felt a little excited and after a few minutes passed, her heart was empty again, she suddenly remembered Henry, she wondered if he was mad when he found out that she had escaped from his arms or not. He will leave her or find another girl to satisfy his pleasure. She missed his embrace, every look, every smile and every gesture he made as he cuddled her. Wendy sobbed sadly as she remembered the time she spent with him and quickly wiped those tears away, but she still cried and blamed herself:
“You are an idiot, he always lies to you. Why do you believe what he says? Don’t cry anymore, you idiot.”
When night fell, the little girl could no longer cry because she was tired after a long day, she suddenly fell asleep without realizing it.
Meanwhile at Henry’s mansion, after receiving a call from Gula reporting that Wendy has escaped, he immediately leaves work and drives home. Henry was furious and scolded the two servants badly when they told everything. He immediately drove to find Wendy and sent someone to look for her at that moment.
The next morning, Wendy woke up in the room she rented, she still felt a little sleepy but still had to try to get up, she proceeded to take a shower and do personal hygiene to wake up. She changed into normal clothes, left the room and bought breakfast on the way. Wendy breathed in the fresh air and looked at the surrounding scenery on both sides of the road with great excitement while moving to a few light music bars, she wanted to ask them about their singing in the band when she saw a job advertisement on the street.
But unfortunately the places she went to, they were full and there was no need to recruit more. She was a bit disappointed and continued to look elsewhere, finally after half a day of searching, she found a place that accepted her to work. The boss after seeing her, he was quite satisfied and welcoming, he asked her her work experience and when he received the answer that she was a newbie, this was the first job she did when she arrived this city, he was even more excited when he heard that. Everyone call him Ritcha and he has a few tattooed juniors by his side, they seem afraid of him but they show it not in words but in their eyes and actions. Ritcha asked Wendy to sing a song, after she finished singing, he complimented and started talking about work.
This job runs from 6pm to midnight, she will sing solo or sing with the band when they come. Because the band operates freely and flexibly, with no fixed time, she will sing alone more. The salary is quite good for her to live comfortably in this city, in terms of clothes, the bar will provide her, if she feels it is too revealing, she has the right to refuse it and choose a other costumes. She does’t need to worry or have a headache about it. And in order not to waste time, she can start working this evening.
Wendy heard that and felt interested, this place probably won’t force her, they seem to work properly and seriously so she will try this job.
That afternoon, Wendy went to the bar to work, she was beautiful makeup and put on a sexy tight-fitting, open back dress. She wore it and felt a little shy and scared, it reminded Wendy of her memories of being with Demut. She shivered and confused, until another girl reassured her and encouraged her to start singing that Wendy returned to reality.
She stood in the middle of the stage and began to sing, she danced gracefully, swaying her hips to the joyful melody of the song. Wendy did it well, when the song ended she received a standing ovation from the audience below. Wendy bowed her thanks and went back to her room. But Ritcha kept her, he introduced her to some of his guests, who offered her wine to show their affection. Wendy was afraid to refuse and was urged by them:
“Don’t deny me, Wendy, I love you very much. Can you have a drink with me?”
Wendy awkwardly replied:
“Thanks, but I can’t drink alcohol, I’m a bit tired, excuse me.”
Hearing that, they pulled her hand even more, in which a fat man touched her butt provocatively:
“Honey, you’re so pretty, have a drink with me.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Wendy was scared and reacted strongly, she pushed his hand away from her, others took advantage of her opening to surround her and say harassing sweet words, they touched her body making her want to cry. , she wanted to escape from this place more than ever. At that moment, Henry and his subordinates burst into the bar, he rolled up his sleeves with an angry expression, still had a sample of cigarette in his mouth. He shouted:
“Stop all for me.”
