One More Night

“Kevin…” says Amanda softly.

“Well?” Kevin responds. But his eyes remain fixed on Nicole.

His sharp eyes seemed to pierce Nicole’s uniform. She feels a little embarrassed and holds her arms tightly. She hates this man! Self-righteous! Overbearing, just because he is rich!

As soon as Kevin appears in the restaurant, he attracts a lot of eyes, especially those of the girls. Some think that Amanda is with Kevin George!

“No wonder she has been so popular lately. It is easy to be successful as she has George’s group to back her up!”

Amanda is enjoying the satisfaction of the envy of the crowd. When she turns her head, she finds Kevin’s eyes are not on her. Following Kevin’s eyes, she found out that he had been looking at this waitress!

Amanda looks up and down at Nicole. Her body is wrapped in a uniform so she could not see her figure. The skin is indeed white and clear, but the facial features are just fine. It is not an amazing beauty!

A sudden surge of disdain rises in her heart, but her voice is more soft and sweet than ever.

“Kevin, you know this waitress?” she asked.

Amanda specially said the word “Waitress” louder, and she stared at Nicole with deep contempt in her beautiful eyes which drew delicate eyeliner.

Looking at Amanda’s hostile eyes, Nicole thinks the president of George’s is a really bad sign. If you meet him nothing good will happen at all.

Why would Amanda do this to her? She is just doing her job and doesn’t want to mess with anyone!

Glaring at Kevin with hatred, Nicole quickly dismisses the relationship with Kevin, “No, no, no! I do not know Mr. George and I have never met him!” She doesn’t want anything to do with this man, this egomaniac!

Kevin’s eyebrows are raised slightly and his dark eyes narrow dangerously. Any woman in the world would want to fawn on him. He is so disgusted by the little woman today!

Is this a hard to get trick? Kevin knows about this girl, she was the girl last night. Yes, they shared a sweet night together last night, but it turns out she can’t remember him.

He looks at her from head to toe, examines her body and thinks maybe she has good stamina. He was surprised that this girl is still alive and looks like she is fine, after the hard night. So, she wants to play a game with him, well, he also wants to play with her.

Kevin stares at Nicole’s limpid eyes and raises his eyebrows, says, “I did not expect to see you again so soon.”

“What are you talking about, Sir? I don’t understand!” Nicole stealthily moves her body to escape from him.

He is so tall and the pressure makes it difficult to breathe. She hates cocky men!

Kevin, with his hands around his chest, looks at Nicole’s little movement with ease and suddenly has an interest in teasing her. Stolidly blocking Nicole’s way with his body and says, “Don’t understand? Then how do you know my last name is George?”

‘Who cares if your last name is George or Charles? Get the hell out of my way! Do not stop me from working and making money!’ Nicole almost blurts these out.

Saying these in her mind, her eyes look down softly, pretending to be innocent. She just wants Kevin and Amanda to continue to flirt with each other and stop teasing her!

Feeling that Kevin’s behavior is abnormal, Amanda is much desire to catch Kevin’s eye. She cannot stand sitting here when Kevin is interested in other women! Besides, the woman is just a little waitress.

“Can’t you see my glass is empty?” Amanda points to her empty glass, stares at Nicole, and looks up and down at her tattered sneakers.

Hearing Amanda’s words, Nicole quickly picks up her pitcher and gives her a refill. She is a waitress; it is her job to serve guests. Even the guest is hostile and contemptuous.

Nicole feels her movements stiffened under Kevin’s gaze. This annoying man! What are you looking at? Have not you ever seen a waitress pour water for a guest?

With her stiff hands and feet filling Amanda’s glass with water, Nicole finally breathed a sigh of relief. Soon she will change the table with Jennie. She does not want to serve them anymore!

Just as Nicole turns to go, Amanda says in a cold voice, “Pass me the glass!”

Nicole carefully hands the glass to Amanda. But before she could let go, Amanda pulls it on purpose and the glass falls to the floor.

A crisp slap comes up. The smile on Amanda’s face disappeared and she slapped Nicole in the face!

“How do you serve your guests? You have ruined my dress! Do you know how expensive my dress is? You can’t afford to even work here for three years!”

The sudden slap in the face freezes Nicole!

Amanda grabs Kevin’s arm and says coquettish, “Kevin look at her, she gets my skirt dirty! Take me to buy a new one later!”

Kevin gave Amanda a solid look, with a gleam in his eyes that she could not understand. Amanda panics and Kevin seems not to be himself today. What was so special about this waitress?

No, she can’t let that happen! She is Kevin’s new lover, and her throne is not warm yet! How can this little woman take it from her!

Amanda’s eyes gleam malevolently. Her cool face raises, looks at Nicole superciliously and says, “How dare you, a waitress, stain the guest’s clothes without even showing any apology?”

Nicole’s pale face is flushed and her fists are clenched. The situation is deadlocked.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Amanda has wanted to put Nicole down in front of Kevin, but the little girl refuses to give in and stares at her, hardly looking down upon her!

Feeling angrier, Amanda beats the table fiercely, “Get the Manager here!”

Amanda’s movements draw a lot of attention from the rest of the people cast curious glances.

Kevin, who is still holding his glass, as if he is waiting for a show. He is aware of Nicole’s temper. She is just a little hedgehog! Now she must want to have a big fight with Amanda and walk away.

Most of the guests of this restaurant are rich and the requirements for waiters are very high.

One will be dismissed immediately upon complaint.

Nicole nibbles at her pale lips. This is the highest pain one among her three jobs. If she is fired, what is she going to do about her Dad’s medical bills?

The corners of her mouth are almost bloodshot, and Nicole spoke with difficulty, “Sorry, it is my fault. Please forgive me.”

Kevin raises his eyebrows and wonders at Nicole’s grovelling.

“Forgive you? Sure! I have spent more than six thousand dollars on this dress. You can buy me a new one!” Amanda glances proudly at Kevin.

This waitress is an ugly duckling who is not worth looking at. How can you compare her to me?

A dress for over six thousand dollars? Nicole suddenly stares wide her limpid eyes! This woman is too vicious! It is just a few drops of soda, and she wants her to pay for a new dress? She spilled the water on purpose on her own!

Kevin’s eyes become more playful. The show is getting better and better and he wants to see how the little woman could cope with Amanda.

Looking up at Kevin’s playful glance, Nicole’s feelings of grievance and irritation all turn into monstrous rage!

These rich and powerful people just like to make fun of little girls like her, right? Right! Do not blame her for being rude!

Nicole clenches her fist and gets rid of her humble and apologetic face.

Her voice is clear and firm, “Miss Amanda, I can surely buy you a new dress!”

What? Kevin and Amanda are both surprised. Seeing how shabby the little girl’s shoes are and how poor she looks, how could she say that she could afford a $6000 dress?

Seeing Kevin and Amanda’s ineffable surprise, Nicole raises her voice and flickers her eyes, “Now that I will pay for a new dress, this dirty dress is mine, isn’t it?”

“Well, of course it is yours.” Amanda has no idea what this little girl is doing.

Kevin slightly picks the corner of his mouth, and a clear smile quietly emerges. His deep eyes also reveal a few praises. It is not that obvious that this little girl, although having a stubborn temper, still has a bit of wit!

“Well, take off this dirty dress and give it to me now!” Nicole says loudly.

“What?! I… You…!” Amanda knows she has fallen into the trap of Nicole. She points her finger at Nicole, being so angry that she could not speak!

“Kevin! She bullied me!” Amanda purses her lips, leaning against Kevin’s arms, pointing at Nicole with one hand and shaking Kevin’s arm with the other.

“Kevin! Say something! Look what she is doing to me!”

Everybody in the restaurant looks this way.

“That is enough!”

A deep male voice snaps back Amanda’s chatter.

Amanda’s watery eyes suddenly become desperate. Something like this had happened before, but Kevin had never stopped her. She is Kevin’s favorite of many lovers. But today he did that just for a poor waitress!

“Kevin, you…” Amanda does not give up. She tightens Kevin’s arm.

Kevin looks at Nicole with black eyes and shows an inscrutable smile. Nicole feels uncomfortable and wants to get out of here as soon as possible. The man is too dangerous and the air around him is too oppressive, even with a smile on his face, the atmosphere is cold.

But Kevin blocks her just in the way.

“President George, excuse me please. I am going to my job.” Nicole pulls out a professional smile and says politely. But there is no humility in her eyes.

Suddenly, her jaw is seized by Kevin’s big hand! Shit, this is happening again! The pain feels so familiar. On the rainy night, he squeezed her jaw so mercilessly that her jaw had been bruised for days!

Nicole takes a cold breath because of pain. She is furious. Should the poor be bullied? Why should she be insulted and abused for no reason?

She stares with a pair of large clear eyes coldly at Kevin’s.

“Let go!” The voice is calm and unemotional.

“Woman, are you giving me orders?” Kevin’s palm tightens.

Looking at Nicole’s pale but unbent face, he flashes a little anger in his heart. This woman never knows how to admit defeat! Must you be so stubborn? Woman, you better be nice!

“I will say it one last time! Let go!” Nicole is holding on but her patience is running out.

“Well, don’t forget that I am a guest. It is best to speak to me politely.” Kevin’s voice flows proudly over her head and the strength of her palm does not diminish!

Nicole thinks her jaw is going to be crushed!

The last shred of patience has faded away. Nicole raises her knee and runs her full strength between Kevin’s legs!

“Oouuchh!”

Kevin takes a cold breath and looks at Nicole with astonishment! How dare someone kick him in here!

Nicole takes the opportunity to escape Kevin’s clutches and quickly retreats to safety. Her little face is filled with a triumphant smile.
