Chapter 2 - Meeting the Devil's Assistant

We arrived at club Violante at exactly 8PM. Entering into the club, all eyes stared at me and retrieved their gazes almost immediately. We walked to the bar to get drinks, "give me the usual" Lee said and winked at him making him nod his head in understanding. "give her a bottle of beer almost the same percentage of alcohol as mine".Lee said before I even get to speak. She turns to me and sighed "come on Vieve, I know this might be hard for you but do it for me please, I'll be by your side giving you enough company...ok? ", "Ohkay".she grabbed her drink and I grabbed mine when the bartender returned, "This song is on fire "she screamed clearly under the influence of alcohol, suddenly she pulled me to the dance floor and started swaying her hips showing off her dance skills cause of how inviting the song is [under the influence by Chris Brown ],I started dancing too, then it changed to Body by Megan thee Stallion which made everyone go crazy including me. I felt a bit dizzy and decided to just sit and watch while drinking. I felt a strong gaze on me, I looked around but found no one staring at me, I felt it again, I looked around again nervously thinking I was paranoid until I met the culprit. My breath seized when it landed on him, I couldn't really explain his features cause of his dark surrounding. He invited me over with his hand while sipping from his drink. I paused contemplating if I should go or not, I Indecisively got up and started walking towards the VIP section where he was. The two huge scary men on black bowed and moved for me to pass. I sat opposite Mr. Unknown since I didn't know his name. "You look extremely breathtaking Miss Santiago",he smirks. "h-how do you know my name Mr. "I stammer "call me Stephen and you don't need to know how I got such information "he smirks again, I stood up about to go maybe this was a bad idea. "Miss Santiago" I heard his voice and turned "see you soon" I smiled and waved off the fact that he thought I'll come here again. I went back to the dance floor in search of Kylee and this time pulled her heading home.

"Aaaarrghh" my head hurt, I'm not trying alcohol again. After what seems like forever I opened my eyes to find out that we both slept in the living room and the big head was still asleep. I stood up lazily in search on my phone, then it dawned on me 'it's 10am' ,"Lee... Lee" "hmm-mm, what? "she woke up and looked up at me clearly annoyed "it's 10AM Lee, we're 1hr30 mins late" I screamed. "What!,how did it happen? "she asked confused. We stood up, and started rushing, In a speed of lightning, we were done dressing and ready for work in our white blouse on black short fitted skirt. We got in a taxi and stopped at "Amy foods restaurant ",that's our workplace. When we got in we met Cole(the manager). "Lee, Vieve" he called and we turned to him shaking like we were criminals caught on spot. "good morning Cole, morning cole"we said simultaneously. "you guys are late again "he said indifferently. Lee opened her mouth about to explain, "sorry guys, Mrs Amy said I should tell you guys your service is no longer needed... In other words, you're fired" he said pitifully, "shit ,Cole is there no way you can help us please? ", I asked at the verge of crying cause that's my only job and means of survival. "sorry Vieve, you know there's nothing I can do ". We nodded and left. The moment we got home, I broke down in tears while Lee was comforting me. "what do we do Lee? ", "I honestly don't know yet but we'll figure out something, pls stop crying or I'll cry too" I cleaned my tears cause I know she's serious about it. "Vieve "she called fidgeting with her fingers, "hmm" I turned to her giving her my full attention." how about we go to the club and drown our sorrows with alcohol "I frowned "that's the same reason we got fired Lee " "I know but staying home crying all day wouldn't help us either, let's say we go to the club, get wasted, then we think of something tomorrow"i thought of it, she has a point there "okay let's do it" she squealed happily while I covered my ears laughing.

"But how do you get the ticket passes to club Violante, I know it's hard to get one not to talk of two you know ", "someone gave it to me", "o-k"i said giving up. Since we were managing our way our spending due to loosing our jobs, we both decided to go through our closet in search of clothes to wear to the club.
