Chapter 5 Her Charles Adam

• Emily worked part-time in the most elite bar in the city.
• They called it, The Octagon.
• This was the only work that she could have in the evening since she was too busy at school in the morning.
• After her day classes, she changed her clothes from her school uniform to her club attendant uniform.
• She changed to a black mini-short dress paired with a red scarf tied neatly around her white long neck.
• She had a small rectangular gold-plated nameplate attached to the left side of her mini dress.
• Her name was written in bold and big letters along with a few small ordinary letters.
• [I’m EMILY at your service.]
• Her hair was neatly formed into a bun.
• She also wore a black net stocking and black high heels.
• The mini dress perfectly embraced her curves.
• Her makeup was not too thick nor too little.
• Red lipstick is a must!
• She needed to be always presentable and have a good rapport with the customers.
• Those were the golden rules in her kind of work!
• The club she was working was the most high-end in the city and only the elite members of the city could enter the club.
• It was located on the highest rooftop of the V International Hotel in the heart of the city.
• It had the most amazing city view at night made with floor-to-ceiling glass walls.
• It offered VIP private rooms for different special functions.
• Also, it has a huge dance floor in the middle where people who want to have fun could be free.
• All VIP rooms have visible access to the dance floor through a glass wall.
• It was a decent club and Emily’s work is primarily inside the VIP rooms.
• Emily and her partnered attendant would serve in any assigned room for the night.
• Then, using her earpiece, she would transmit all the orders, and waiters would take them in.
• After, Emily and her partner would start to pour liquor into their glasses, serve food to their plates, or prepare the billiard table for a round game or the dart or any board games.
• They would do decent errands too except for the indecent proposal which is very rampant in this kind of job.
• In some confidential cases, some guests will let them wait outside and some, they let them stay inside standing like a statue in the corner doing nothing.
• For some guests, they were like beautiful wall decorations!
• All attendants there were of high quality to be employed in this high-end club.
• Emily was just so lucky that she was a natural head-turner.
• Her face was angelic.
• Her eyes were the purest.
• The lips were cherry red even without lipsticks.
• Effortlessly, they looked so kissable and sweet.
• Her skin was flawless like porcelain.
• Her tall nose accentuates her innocent face yet sophisticated without her doing something.
• Her body was naturally proportioned perfectly.
• With rounded ass, long legs, healthy breasts, and a slender waist fully complimented each other.
• No one could say NO to her in this kind of job nor she didn't need to answer the long interview and undergo multiple screenings.
• In just one look at her, the manager exclaimed quickly, "You're hired!"
• But as the saying goes, you can't have everything!
• Emily had no family...
• No home...
• Afraid of the future...
• She had a struggling life.
• She needed to work and maintain her high grades at school at the same time.
• But still, she was lucky to be accepted into the most prestigious school in the city.
• With full determination, she passed the screening test and became one of the scholars of the school.
• She could not let her mother down.
• Her goal is to find a good job with a high-paying salary so she can finally face her shameless father and oust the wicked strangers living in her house.
• She wanted to see in the eyes of her father what he lost for choosing those strangers over her.
• 5 more months…
• Another 5 months and she would graduate from a prestigious school.
• Emily could not wait any longer.
• She could already see herself on a stage wearing her graduation gown.
• If only she could fast-track the time!
• However, she needed to wait patiently.
• She had survived the last 5 years sustaining herself, she believed she was very near to her goal.
• Patience is a virtue...
• Perseverance will bear the fruit she longed to obtain...
• 'Focus Emily...'
• 'Focus...'
• Those were her pearls of wisdom that kept repeating in her mind whenever loneliness and despair hit her.
• "You have to come back and sign the documents to sell this fucking house! Otherwise..." Emily was quickly snapped back to her senses by her father’s impatient voice.
• He screamed angrily like he wanted to murder her through his loud voice.
• "Otherwise, what?!"Emily refuted hatefully. “I am already an adult dad and I know my rights. I will not sell my grandma’s house!” She could not hold herself to disrespecting his shameless father because, for a long time, she was held hostage by her father using her mom.
• Now, what else he could do?
• Who else he could use to blackmail her?
• “Huh… I can see that you are acting high and mighty now, huh? Who do you think you are?!” His father’s voice was mocking.
• Emily clenched her fists too tight and gritted her teeth.
• After 5 long years, her father didn’t change even a single bit.
• He was still the pathetic father she hated the most.
• “I am the daughter of your deceased wife.” She answered out of despair along with her silent tears uncontrollably falling.
• For a while, her dad was silent.
• “Emi…” Then he called her with a sentimental tone.
• She was just a kid when her father used to call her that way.
• Her father’s voice used to melt her heart whenever he called her that way but at the moment, Emily felt nothing but disgust. “Come home, Emi. Let’s talk calmly. Okay? I miss you.” Her dad continued using the same tone.
• “I can’t! My home was a long time gone when Mom died.” Emily answered and sobbed in silence.
• The house was under Emily's name signed by her late grandmother and was attested and notarized in her will.
• It seemed that her grandmother had foreseen that this would happen in the future.
• When her grandmother was alive, she never liked the husband of her daughter and that was Emily's father.
• To make sure that Emily would not be left penniless and homeless, her loving grandma intentionally put the house under Emily's name.
• Now, her father was angrily barking at her because they could not sell the house whenever he wanted.
• Emily would never sell it!
• "It’s because of your mother’s illness that my money drained. So, you must cooperate! I'm your father and I have the final say! Emily, you became so disrespectful that heaven will punish you and put you in hell! I am not asking you now! As your father, you should obey me and I say we sell the house! Do you understand?!" Shortly, the sweet tone became a hateful scream again brassier over the phone.
• He was like going to have a heart attack.
• Obviously, his dad could not hold pretending to be sentimental when he was not.
• She expected it anyway.
• "Correction Dad, It's my mom's money." Clenching her fists too tight, Emily replied trembling in anger.
• She was not afraid of him anymore.
• She knew that no words from her father were true.
• Out of guilt, her mother’s physician told her everything.
• Her father requested to stop her mother’s treatment for the reason that he could not sustain the expenses anymore.
• Emily knew that was a lame excuse from her father.
• Her mom's company was doing great at that time.
• Her father just didn't want to waste a single penny for her sick mother because he wanted to give a lavish lifestyle to Claudette and Nichole.
• But then... he was shamelessly using her mom's fortune!
• When she was about to hang up, her father's raging voice came in quickly, “I will find you and I will make sure you will sign those fucking documents! I will punish you! You ungrateful child!” He roared furiously like it could break Emily’s ear canal.
• "Over my dead body!!!" Just thinking how her mom and she went through hardships because of them, she could not control her rage as she replied growling.
• Emily didn’t waste a single second and put an end to her father’s call.
• Her eyeballs shivered and became moist while her lips were shaking silently.
• She could not believe how his father had become so shameless like this.
• Her father’s shouting seemed to stay around the corners.
• In the dark surroundings, Emily could still hear his fuming voice.
• “I will find you!”
• “I will make sure you sign the documents!”
• “I will punish you for being an ungrateful child!”
• Frightened, Emily quickly covered her ears with her palms as she ducked a little.
• Then shivered tremendously.
• She didn’t want to hear his father’s abusive words again.
• Not anymore….
• Just when her phone, chimed and vibrated in her pocket.
• She thought it was her shameless father again using another means to contact her.
• Irately, she got her phone and planned to block his number.
• With that, he could not disturb her anymore but…
• It was not her father.
• Shockingly, it was him. …
• The perverted man is him…
• Her Charles Adam!
