Chapter 04 Have Her Come Over and Serve Drinks
How could the former bar waiter end up at this fitness club? Was he here to work out or had he switched jobs to work here? Judging from his attire, his status wasn't bad. Could he have become the general manager? Goodness, she wouldn't be so unfortunate as to work under her child's father, would she? If this man found out that she had secretly given birth to his child, would he cause trouble for her? Would he try to take the child away from her?
On second thought, this man used to be a waiter at the bar and must have slept with many women. He might not even remember her.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault," Ivy hurriedly apologized and quickly made her way to the person in charge of the Club.
Alexander watched the woman's back and his gaze deepened. "She'll do." His voice was calm and steady.
"What?" Assistant Ethan did not understand.
"Have her come over and serve drinks!" Alexander's gaze turned cold as he glanced at Ethan.
"I'll make arrangements right away." Ethan finally understood what his boss meant and couldn't help but feel sympathy for the girl. After all, she had dared to offend not only their boss but also the person in control of the Ashford family group. She would have to rely on her own luck later on.
In the office of the person in charge.
"I'm the HR manager here. You can call me Emma," the person in charge introduced herself and handed Ivy an application form. "Fill this out, and then you can start working."
Ivy held the pen but hesitated to write. Anxiously, she asked, "What kind of work will I be doing? If you don't explain it clearly to me, I... I won't feel at ease."
"Go to the Club's aquarium and perform as a mermaid." Emma took out a mermaid photo and pointed to the mermaid in it. "She is a pillar of our club. However, because she often acts high and mighty, she angered our boss and lost the opportunity to perform tonight."
Lost the opportunity to perform tonight? So, Ivy is just a temporary replacement for this actress?
When the boss calms down, she can take the stage again, but Ivy will have to find a job again?
Emma patted Ivy on the shoulder and gestured with her red lips. "Do you know who booked the club tonight? It's Alexander, the head of the Ashford Family Group. Our mermaid had always wanted to become the Madam of the Ashford Family Group. What a pity, she lost this opportunity."
Alexander? Ivy had heard this name before, it was said that not only was Alexander powerful and wealthy, but also incredibly attractive. He was the dream man of all women in the world.
Four years ago, she also had unrealistic fantasies, imagining herself one day marrying a man like Alexander.
But in the end, she compromised with reality and chose to be with Leo, only to find out later that Leo betrayed her with her best friend Kayla.
"Alright, don't think too much. As long as you perform the mermaid show well tonight and please Alexander, I will let you stay and work here for a long time to earn more."
"Really?" Ivy was overjoyed and immediately filled out the form and handed it to Emma.
"You're still a college student, that's impressive." Emma was somewhat surprised. Most of the girls who were willing to work at the club were not highly educated.
"Thanks to the country's welfare," Ivy said gratefully. She had been abandoned by her parents since she was young, and all her expenses were provided by the orphanage.
Emma waved her hand. "Follow me."
The aquarium
Emma led Ivy straight to the changing room.
Along the way, Ivy was fantasizing about how she would swim in the water after putting on the mermaid costume.
If the six little girls at home saw her, they would be thrilled. They had always loved mermaids, and each of them was a talented swimmer.
Thinking of this, Ivy suddenly had a bold plan to make money. Could she bring the six little girls from her family to be mermaids too? That way, in one night, the seven of them could earn $3,500.
Ethan came over and whispered something to Emma.
"Ivy..." Emma beamed and called out, "Let's not change clothes for now..."
