Chapter 56

• CHICAGO
• Emma had just finished talking to Sam on the phone. He told her he would be coming to the bar where she works tonight. Lately, Emma and Sam had been hanging out and going out on what she wouldn't necessarily consider as dates. She even introduced him to literature and he sometimes joined her to work out in the gym. He had informed her that his father had fully recovered and there was no bad blood between them. Emma was glad. Sometimes, Emma will call Sam and his voice will sound shaky and other times normal. Other times he will look tense and suddenly act cold and the next minute, he is burning around with energy. He will always blame it on his mood swings and Emma never further asked about the details because she wouldn't want to invade in his privacy. However, one fact kept bothering Emma. Sam never told her what he does for a living other than mentioning to her that he was a businessman. One day she tried to inquire more about his work, Sam brushed it off and she never asked again. Tonight Sam, will be showing up at the bar to drink and have a chit chat with her.
• Emma was seating in the bar comfortably. She was gorgeously dressed in her bar attendant uniform. It was her shift period. There were less customers around as the day was still young. She was reading a book. While she was reading, she kept looking at her wrist watch because the club general manager had informed her that Austin Mc. Bryan will hit their club at exactly 7pm and she knew what it meant. In her few months of service as a bar attendant, she knew how important it was to maintain mutual relationship with customers and Austin Mc. Bryan she knew was a top customer. Whenever, Mc Bryan showed up in their club, regular people will exit the club for he was regarded as a VIP. Emma never liked the idea of people being asked to leave because a VIP wanted to hang out but it wasn't Gideon's club after all and she had no say. The business must go on and she needed her pay. She took a glance at her watch one more time, it was seven minutes to 7pm. She closed the book and sterilized her hand. Any moment from now, Mc. Bryan will show up and she needed to give all her attention to his service.
