Chapter 1056 In Trouble
Daryl sneered, and his eyes filled with disdain. "My life feels a bit empty right now, and I want someone to keep me company. Don't you need money? We can make a deal, each getting what we need. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Cecilia's heart tightened. She replied coldly, "Don't you hate me? Don't you think I'm a vain woman? Since you're a rich kid, you have plenty of choices. Why come to me, someone you hate?"
"Yes, I do hate you, but I can't deny that you're somewhat attractive, and I know your temperament. Besides, I'm just looking for a bed partner, not a marriage partner. Why take it so seriously? Once I'm bored, I'll just toss you aside like an old toy or a worn-out piece of clothing!" Daryl's eyes were filled with cynicism.
Hearing this, Cecilia's face turned pale with anger.
The next moment, Cecilia said coldly, "Daryl, I did wrong you, but you also deceived me, so we're even. If you insult me again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
"We will never be even. I gave you my sincere feelings, but your feelings for me can't compare to wealth and luxury!" Daryl's eyes were filled with anger.
"Daryl, I'm telling you, we have broken up. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Don't bother me again. So what if you have money? I don't care about your money!" After shouting at Daryl, Cecilia turned to leave.
But Daryl grabbed Cecilia's wrist and threatened. "I advise you to think it over. Opportunities to make money like this are rare. It's much better than wearing those indecent clothes at the bar to attract customers and sell drinks!"
Hearing this, Cecilia frowned, her blood boiling, and raised her hand to slap Daryl.
At this moment, Daryl quickly grabbed Cecilia's other wrist.
"Cecilia, I'm warning you, you can't just hit me!" Daryl's eyes were filled with anger.
"Let go of me, did you hear?" Cecilia shouted angrily at Daryl.
Not only did Daryl not let go, but his gaze also became fiercer, and he tightened his grip.
Cecilia winced in pain, her eyes glaring directly at Daryl without any sign of compromise.
Their eyes locked for several seconds before Daryl suddenly let go.
Cecilia took a step back, feeling her arm trembling because he had really hurt her.
Daryl gave Cecilia a cold look and said, "My phone number hasn't changed. If you change your mind, you can call me. But you'd better not keep me waiting too long because I don't know if I'll still be interested in you by then."
After saying this, Daryl turned and got into his car.
The car sped away in the next second.
Watching the dust left by the speeding car, Cecilia's tears had already started to fall.
Why had two people who once knew and loved each other so well become people who hurt each other? Cecilia knew Daryl was taking revenge on her, but when they hurt each other, her heart ached immensely.
She only hoped he was just a passerby in her life, an unforgettable one, and that they would never have any more interactions in the future.
Ten days later, today was payday; in this bar, they got paid every two weeks.
Cecilia knew that after deducting the cost of the clothes, she wouldn't get much, but she still had some hope. Even a hundred dollars could sustain her for a while.
"Here's your paycheck." The manager handed an envelope to Cecilia.
Cecilia took the thin envelope, knowing there wasn't much money inside.
Opening the envelope, Cecilia only pulled out a fifty-dollar bill.
Looking at Luna counting a thick stack of bills beside her, Cecilia felt envious, but even fifty dollars could sustain her for half a month.
Cecilia had just put the fifty-dollar bill in her pocket and was about to leave the manager's office.
Unexpectedly, the manager spoke up. "Everyone else can go back to work. Cecilia, stay for a moment."
Hearing this, Cecilia was stunned. She thought maybe the manager wanted to talk about the deducted wages.
After everyone else had left, only the manager and Cecilia were left in the office.
The manager looked at Cecilia and said, "Cecilia, you can pack your things and leave."
Hearing this, Cecilia was puzzled.
"Manager, what do you mean?" Cecilia asked, frowning.
Although this job required her to work late and wear revealing clothes, Cecilia really needed it. She couldn't find another job that paid this well.
The manager glanced at the confused Cecilia, sighed, and said in a softer tone, "You had to offend someone important. Our bar still needs to operate, and we can't let you ruin it."
Hearing this, Cecilia couldn't help but say, "Are you saying that the person whose suit I dirtied doesn't want me to work here anymore?"
Cecilia thought for a long time and couldn't think of anyone else she had offended, so it must be Daryl.
That day, Luna said Daryl was a rich kid and had many businesses in Northstar City. It seemed to be true.
Originally, Cecilia thought that since Daryl hadn't shown up these days, he had given up on her. She didn't expect him to be so persistent.
The manager looked at Cecilia and said, "We can't afford to offend that person. You'd better not drag us down. Go find another job. But let me give you a piece of advice: you'd better get along with that person. The Fields Group has many businesses in Northstar City. With one word from him, you won't find a job anywhere else."
Hearing this, Cecilia said, "Manager, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll pack my things and leave right away."
After saying this, Cecilia turned and left the manager's office.
The night was deep, and Cecilia walked the streets of Northstar City, feeling extremely dejected.
She still had to finish her studies in Northstar City, and she had to send money home to support her family, so she couldn't give up. She had to find another high-paying job.
The next day, Cecilia went all over the city looking for a job. She heard that dishwashing jobs paid well, so she visited several Luminara restaurants. But as soon as they saw her passport, they said they were fully staffed and not hiring.
After several days, Cecilia finally understood the seriousness of the bar manager's words.
