Chapter 4

Amber's Pov

I immediately kicked Francis when he didn't move from where he was standing. He turned around and quickly obeyed, "W-what is it sir?"

"Devil springs vodka."

I was stuck in my seat because of his words. It's very cold. You won’t even feel any emotion when he speaks in full.

Francis started to mix the alcohol that's needed. He was still confused because he had brewed a vodka several times. I know that liquor. I knew it was one of the strongest wines. And I have no intention of tasting that.

"Kley bro! Let's go, Hades has been out for a while and he's following someone."

Kley's eyes wandered to him. I did not know the man who spoke to him, this is the first time that I saw him. He nodded at the man and turned his gaze to Francis, "Stop mixing. Tss." He quickly stand up. I thought that he's going to leave but instead he faced me, "Nice mask huh."

I was stunned by what he said as my gaze followed his receding bulk, "W-what-- did you hear that? He insulted me!"

Francis slammed down a bottle of wine he was holding, "Such an ass. He's very arrogant too!"

Daphney just rolled her eyes from what he said, "Tss. You couldn't even move where you were standing before? What bro! Hahahaha."

"Tss. You're so annoying."

Daphney just continued to laugh while Francis frowned and shook. I don't think Francis was really insulted, in fact it would have been better for him to stop mixing because he would only be more embarrassed.

"But look Aimee ha, he noticed you. Gosh!"

"A-ahh ..."

My mouth dropped open as if I didn't know what to say. Yes, he noticed me. And I don’t know why me? Is it because of the mask I'm wearing?

"Shut up Daph! You're so loud.."

Daphney just frowned, "Eh you're a man but you're a cockroach!"

"Because—"

Francis left me and chased Daphney who was now running towards the dance floor. I was just shaken by the attitude of the two of them. Seems like they have no job to play here.

Daphney is a waitress and Francis is a bartender. The two of them have a family and all they do here is to have extra money. If they have something to buy, they'll buy it. Unlike me who needs to budget my income.

"Aimee."

I turned my back and saw Sir Kevin, "Hi sir!"

He get a bottle of rum. And based on what I read, it is a Brugal Añejo. He approached me and showed what he was holding, "Do you wanna try?"

"U-uhm ..."

He didn't even wait for my answer. He grinned at me and removed it from the box. He opened it with the bottle opener and I even heard the removal of its lid. He grabbed a cocktail jiggers and looked at me while transfering it there.

"I'll teach you how to mix."

"W-what?"

He just smiled at me and picked up the mixing glass underneath. He transfered the rum there and stirred it with bar spoons, "It should just taste right. Not sweet and not bitter. Just right." He stopped stirring it and handed me the glass.

"W-what am I going to do with this?"

"Try it, Aimee."

I took the glass in his hand and swallowed it quickly. The taste of it stuck in my throat and I smiled. He didn't even mistake the blend. It just tastes right.

"This is good, Sir!"

"Thank you."

He was about to kiss me when Daphney's hand suddenly slapped on a bar stool while bursting out laughing. I moved slightly away from our boss.

"Aimee, He's such a fool— Ay! Good evening, Sir!"

"Good evening, Sir!"

They both stood up straightly. I chuckled from what I saw. They were like gentle cats now in front of Sir Kevin. Sir Kevin raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze to Francis, "Why aren't you here, Francis? And I'm really the one who mixed for our costumer."

"I-I'm sorry."

My forehead furrowed because of what he said. If so, am I the one this costumer is he referring to? Deep down,.I was already laughing because of Sir Kevin’s lame reason.

"Warning, Francis. Go back to work."

Francis quickly got to my side and put away the mixture that Sir had used earlier. Sir turned to me and winked before leaving but he squeezed my ass first so I bit my lip so hard.

Ugh. I think his hands are really for mine only. Haha. Kidding, I still prefer if Kley does that to me and I don’t know what I’ll do if that happens.

It's been a few hours and it's two o'clock in the morning and it means my work is done. I'm only here at the bar for 4 hours because it closes at six in the morning and someone will replace me.

I went to the dressing room and immediately changed clothes. I let my hair tied up earlier and I let my hair down now. I removed my mask and looked in the mirror.

I smiled while seeing my own reflection at the mirror. I look innocent again because I remove my lipstick earlier on my face that makes me look like a real woman when it's time for my work.

I adjusted my gear and changed into a pair of slippers because my foot hurt from the heels I was wearing.

For now, I am Amber Madrigal again.
