Drinking with guests, eh!
William, although he had never worked in this line before, had frequented places of entertainment in the past.
He knew how the women in brothels made their customers happy, and he could do the same.
Of course, he would sell his skills, not his body. That was a matter of principle.
“Maria, I know what to do,” William said with a smile, asking, “What’s the strongest liquor here? I’ll take a barrel!”
“A barrel? You’re bragging a bit much, aren’t you?” Maria said, “The strongest we have here is vodka. Since you say you can drink so much, you should play with my friend Piper and the others later. If you can down six shots without falling, Piper and the others will surely be thrilled.”
“Vodka?” William raised an eyebrow, finding it a strange name.
Nicholas exclaimed in surprise, “William, you’re not really going to drink this liquor, are you? I won’t join you in this madness. Drinking those six glasses would knock a person out for at least three days.”
William stared curiously at Nicholas.
Nicholas then explained, “This isn’t just any ordinary wine; it’s specially supplied. In our bar, we gave it another name — Six Cups and You’re Down.We have a drinking game with this liquor at our bar. Each person has to finish six shots, and the last one to hit the floor is the winner.”
“What’s the point of falling last? After six shots, even if you don’t bleed from the stomach, you’ll definitely be unconscious. Even our heaviest drinker Zachary, after six shots, was laid out for three days. I once drank that much and didn’t want to touch alcohol for a week.”
“Is it that exaggerated? I’d like to try.” William blinked with interest.
Nicholas clasped his hands together and told William, “William, when you want to play later, give me a signal. I’ll go to the restroom first, and then you guys can take your time. If you propose the game, all the men at the table will surely want to drink.”
William nodded, “I’ll tap the table three times with my glass, then you can leave.”
“Thank you!” Nicholas now revered William like a god. If William could really drink that much, he might become the god of the entire bar in the future.
“You’re welcome.”
After exchanging courtesies with Nicholas and learning some more bar games, William and Nicholas became thoroughly acquainted.
Around eight in the evening, the bar began to fill up.
Lila and Emily actually did come, and they even brought another woman with them.
The moment they walked into the bar, William noticed them but had to pretend not to recognize them.
Maria’s discerning eye instantly caught that these three women were affluent.
When the three women entered the bar, every man who saw them couldn’t take his eyes off them.
Lila and the others went to a booth and sat down. Maria didn’t call for other waitstaff but personally approached them.
“Is this your first time here, beautiful ladies? Are you expecting anyone else?” Maria subtly assessed the three women after approaching them.
Their stunning, exquisite appearances aside, their extraordinary poise and expensive accessories were hard to miss.
Lila’s diamond earrings alone were worth at least $100,000. Emily’s purse started at $200,000.
As for the third woman, Bella, her bracelet alone was worth at least a million.
These three were truly wealthy women.
Facing them, Maria couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. If these women were bothered by some riffraff while drinking in her place, the consequences could be severe.
She had to ensure their safety and make sure they had a good time.
Bella, with even more refined makeup and a cooler demeanor than Lila and the others, asked coldly, “Just the three of us. What red wine do you have here?”
Maria smiled, “Good evening, we have Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel…”
“Do you have Romanée-Conti?” Bella asked. Seeing Maria’s expression, she knew they didn’t, and said, “You must have Lafite, right?”
Maria smiled awkwardly and said, “We have Lafite from ’96 here.”
“’96?” Bella said, looking somewhat displeased, “Bring a bottle over for now.”
“Alright,” Maria said. “Beautiful lady, a bottle of ’96 Lafite is sold here for 2888 US dollars, but for you, I’ll give an 80% discount.”
Bella waved her hand, saying, “No need for a discount, I’ll give you three thousand dollars!” Then, pointing at William, who was at the bar learning to identify wines, she asked, “Tell me, does that man work here?”
Maria paused for a moment, looking in the direction of Bella’s pointed finger, and smiled, “You mean the young man at the bar? He just started working here. His name is William. Can I help you with something?”
Maria’s heart was filled with joy at this point. Had this beautiful woman spotted William the moment she came in?
Being handsome really does have its advantages!
Bella hesitated for a moment, then said, “Could you please ask him to come over?”
“No problem! I’ll call him over right away.” Maria nodded and walked over to William. “William, go to booth K8 for a moment. A beautiful lady has requested your company. Make sure to take good care of her!”
William had already memorized the booth numbers in the bar.
He knew that Lila and her friends were at K8.
Now that his boss had asked him to go over, he had no reason to refuse.
“Sure, Maria.” William smiled and walked over to Lila’s table. .
Lila initially didn’t want to come, but when Bella asked her, she had no choice but to join.
She was also curious about William’s attitude toward Bella.
Though Bella wasn’t a young woman, she radiated the unique aura of a mature and beautiful woman.
Would he be unaffected by such beauty?
William arrived at K8, his smile even more insincere. “Ladies, what can I get for you?”
“You’re William?” Bella frowned as she studied him. “You work here now? As a waiter?”
William nodded. “Yes, that’s right. Can I help you with anything?”
Bella pondered for a moment before saying, “Come with me tomorrow to get our marriage certificate. From then on, you’ll be my husband. I’ll give you thirty thousand a month, provide you with a car, and find you another job. You can do whatever you want, but you can’t touch me. After the wedding, we’ll each go our own way.”
William’s eyes narrowed slowly. Were young women nowadays so direct?
Direct enough to propose marriage just like that?
A member of the Bell family!
It seemed Bella didn’t know his true identity, which had caused some misunderstandings.
“Miss Bell, right? I refuse. Is that alright?” William didn’t even think about it before rejecting her outright.
If he had been approached with this offer before finding his current job, he might have accepted. But now, he definitely wouldn’t!
