I'll be Your Wife - 1.3
CHAPTER 1 PART 3
“F*CK! Call the owner here!”
A sudden scream was heard somewhere, screams that wake her up from drowsiness.
The half-drunk man who was served by her was screaming loudly. Those who are
in and out of this classy hotel are famous people and have high social status.
And because of that, the atmosphere in the bar is made calm and comfortable.
However, due to a weird guest today, the tranquility inside the bar instantly
disappeared. Mo Rae's stunned. She rushed out to the source of the commotion.
The screaming man looked young. And most likely he hasn't worked yet. Either
because he had asked for money from his mother or whatever, the man was able
to have a large gem ring, as well as a thick gold necklace.
Mo Rae had delivered him to the cash register earlier. She then asked the
young man politely, fearing there was a mistake in the bill.
"I'm sorry, is there a problem?”
“What the f*ck! Why is it so expensive? You guys deliberately put a price on
it, right?! Get your manager here!”
“Sorry. But, the bill is correct."
Mo Rae replied with confidence since she believed she had calculated it
correctly. She has even counted them twice. Had Mo Rae known the situation
tonight would be chaotic, she would have refused to work double. Mo Rae
sighed.
“Who are you? Are you the manager here?”
“No. I'm just a waiter here.”
“Who dares to ignore me? I told you to call the manager, not a waitress like
you!”
“Sir, don't be like this... Ahh!”
Mo Rae couldn't finish her words, the man watered her with a glass of beer he
took off the table. The cold drink hit Mo Rae's face, then flowed down the
woman's shoulders and back, making her nape hair stand up. Soon, the beer's
distinctive aroma wafted from Mo Rae's body. The woman closed her eyes and
clenched her hands.
Hold it Mo Rae... You have to hold it. Hold it Mo Rae... You're going to
have to do it. Tomorrow is payday time and the day after, you have to pay
interest to the creditors.
Mo Rae wiped the beer dripping from her head and face with her sleeves. She
then spoke to the drunk man loudly.
"Two-serving beef steak, fruits as appetizers, snacks, fried beef, two-bottle
wine, and eight-bottle beer. All 537,000 won.”
“Damn girl! You think you're dealing with who, heh! You deaf? Get your manager
here!”
The man stood up from his chair. Putting both hands on his waist and told Mo
Rae. The man then grabbed Mo Rae's chin and raised the girl's face until they
came face to face. He stared at Mo Rae squinting. The man's savage gaze slowly
disappeared. His gaze was now flashy, filled with lust.
“Hey, I didn't know your face is this pretty. Want to accompany me for a
drink? I'll let you go this time. Think of it as a pay...”
The man who emitted an acidified scent from his mouth stroked Mo Rae's chin.
Feeling toyed, Mo Rae got rid of the man's hand violently.
How dare a lowly man like you play me.
Mo Rae became inflamed and started to unleash her true temper.
“If you want a drink, drink quietly. You're crazy!”
“What? You... What did you just say?”
"I said you're crazy. Why? You deaf? If you're deaf, don't make trouble like
this! I don't want to be taken out by someone like trash and crazy like you!”
“Do you want to die?!”
The man raised his hand as if he wanted to slap Mo Rae on the cheek. However,
his hands stopped and dropped back. Instead, he threw glasses and plates
filled with food from the table.
CRASH!
The loud sound even made people sitting in the corner of the room stunned by
the chaos that was going on. At that time, the manager who did not know the
problem suddenly appeared very late.
I don't know what he was doing somewhere we couldn't see his nose.
“Is there a problem, sir?”
“Who are you? Are you the manager? Then teach your waiter properly! You know
what she told me? She said I was like trash and crazy! Is that what a waiter
does to a customer?”
“Hey, you! You don't remember what you told me earlier?”
Mo Rae did not want to lose and avenge the man's words. The manager who seemed
to know everything squinted and spoke to Mo Rae in a cold tone.
“Kim Mo Rae! How can you behave like that to a customer? Apologize right
away!”
“Apologize!”
Mo Rae looked at her manager who seemed mad. Then she turned her gaze to the
man. The man smiled mockingly with a face filled with expressions of triumph.
The anger inside Mo Rae's burst out.
I don't want to. I don't want to apologize to a man like him...
“I'm not going to apologize. There's no reason to apologize to him.”
“Kim Mo Rae! You know what you're saying, right?”
I know. You're going to fire me, right? Despite thinking about this
once again, she did not find a single mistake she had made, which led her to
apologize to the thug.
“I know. I'm going to stop working."
Mo Rae insisted on not apologizing until the end. The man's face looked
angrier. The manager next to him stared at Mo Rae with a cold stare. Mo Rae
was tingling her eyes so that her tears didn't come out. She then walked away
to the employee's locker room. There, Mo Rae calmed her heart which had been
beating rapidly, and wiped the tears that had fallen with her hands.
You don't have to cry, Mo Rae. Who the hell is that thug making you cry.
Don't cry because of the little insults of such a human being. He even
looked so useless. Once you get out of here, there's going to be a new job
waiting for you...
After calming her feelings, Mo Rae changed her clothes and exited the room.
The manager standing at the cash register looked at her and told her to go to
his office. He handed her an envelope.
“Even though the customer was in the wrong, you shouldn't behave like that.
Look at the consequences, you're forced to quit your job. It's your wage.
Since you didn't work here a month fully, I cut it a little. Now go.”
Mo Rae gave a good-bye and soon exited the room. However, she felt the
envelope held on her chest felt very light.
Has he been waiting for something like this to fire me? Mo Rae was
disappointed. However, she soon discarded her feelings. Despite not feeling
remorseful quitting her job, Mo Rae began to worry since she had to find a new
job in the morning. Having to work and go to college at the same time, she
felt comfortable working in a bar close to where she studied. Although the
work there is tiring, she is happy because her salary is also quite big. But
now she suddenly has to get out of the place. Mo Rae felt sad. She wanted to
lay down her exhausted body immediately. But, she could not go home with
feeling like this.
Mo Rae decided to go to a shop and buy two bottles of soju, then walking by
the Han River. The night time air felt cold but she did not care about it and
sat on the grass. She opened the lid of the bottle and drank it without
stopping.
Ah, I really am such a reckless kid. But well, it's alright without
snacks... I can still suck my finger. I don't have money either anyway...
Mo Rae back to sip the drink in the bottle. Her whole body felt hot, she
started getting drunk. The woman then leaned over her head and stared at the
star in the sky. She can always see stars if she comes to this place. Because
of that, she loved the Han River. Her mother always said that the deceased
would turn into a star. Mo Rae stared at two bright stars she considered to be
her mother and father and began to grumble.
"What the heck is this? Are you happy living without me? Dang... Take me too.
I, feel lonely... I'm tired..."
In the end, Mo Rae remembered her parents and started crying. Now she has
spent two bottles of soju and her precious tears. She's not actually an
alcoholic. But in times of loneliness like today, she wanted to get drunk and
forget everything. Mo Rae who has spent all her drinks lying on the grass.
Today, the stars looked very glittery. Her close friend, Mi Young, went
abroad. She felt lonely because no one comforted her. Tears kept coming out of
the corner of her eyes.
"I miss you guys... I, miss you guys so friggin' much... Huu, I'm lonely, I'm
getting crazy... it's so lonely. Do you hear that? I said do you hear me!
Huff... it's alright though if you don't hear me...."
