Marrying Young Miss Kaya Raya
41

Dave was silent in his position. For a while Dave's life seemed to be not in his body, before then the young man blinked in confusion.

"You work at the club, Alvin?"

Alvin shook his shoulders.

"Sort of like that."

"Wait a minute, Alvin. I don't think you're working in a restaurant?" asked Dave, shocked and curious.

"Yes, it's true."

"Then?"

"I've been fired."

"Fired?" Dave was back in shock

"I made a fatal mistake and harmed the customer so I was dismissed."

"So, is it true that you're working in a nightclub now?"

"Really, Dave. I've been saying this since, haven't I?"

"Why didn't I know you worked at a nightclub?"

"Because you never asked" Alvin replied casually while his eyes refocused on the book before him.

"When have you worked in a place like that?" ask Dave again.

"Since yesterday."

"Wow.this is a miracle. Very cool. My best friend finally entered the nightclub as well. All this time you've even resisted when I asked."

"It's different. I'm there to be a waitress, if you usually just take me out for fun."

"Totally so." Dave then brought his face closer to Alvin. "Then did you see a lot of beautiful and sexy girls there?"

Alvin finally chose to stop reading and raised his head, took his eyes off the book and looked at Dave sharply.

"It's a nightclub, Dave. There must be a lot of people like that."

"Ah, right too." Dave nodded slowly. "Besides being beautiful they must also be very sexy. Then did you ask for the contact number of one of them?"

"Don't I tell you, I'm there to work. I'm looking for money, not a boyfriend." said Alvin, his eyes staring back at his reading book.

Dave shook his shoulders. "Yes, even if you're there to work instead of looking for a girlfriend, but with your handsome face the girls will also be fascinated and approach you."

Alvin was secretly jolted by the sentence his best friend said. Then she smiled smirk. "That's impossible." said Alvin quietly.

"Why?" ask Dave wonder.

"Because I'm a waiter. They can't possibly approach a waiter like me. Compared to me, there are many men who are handsome, rich and much more have everything."

"Yes, I know they are rich and handsome. But I'm sure there won't be anyone as handsome as you." Dave said lightly. "And I'm also sure, not all women will find a rich man."

Alvin again stopped reading. He closed the book harshly, then looked at Dave.

"There is no such woman, Dave" Alvin said in a pessimistic tone. "No woman can accept a poor man. Especially the poor like me."

Alvin then smiled. Discussing topics like this only made him come back to remember Karina's treatment of him some time ago. He recalled the times when the girl insulted him, beat him up and harassed his pride.

It really hurt her even traumatized her to just be in love with someone new. And that also makes Alvin think all women are the same and they will only look for men who are rich.

Dave looked at Alvin fixedly and somehow realized the sad expression of his close friend.

"Alvin, I don't know what happened between you and Karina that ended up making you so pessimistic like this. But believe! Whatever he did to you there'll be a payoff and I'm sure you'll also get what you deserve."

Alvin immediately smiled after hearing the wise words from his best friend.

"Thank you for comforting me, Dave" said Alvin calmly. "But I don't want to expect too much."

He smiled while looking at his friend. Dave's words just now did indeed make his heart calmer than before.
