CHAPTER 4

It's midnight and Mishi has set up everything in the house. The room is quite spacious but she has to work hard so that she can pay the rent, the school fees of Chunhua and Chang and to meet the other expenses. She looked at her phone and saw 20 missed calls from Zhao. She called him.

"Hello Zhao sorry I was busy", said Mishi while setting the photo of her parents on the wall.

"What happened? I even went to your house but..."

"Zhao actually we shifted from there two blocks ahead. I will take that money later so don't worry".

"How are CC?", asked Zhao.

Actually he calls the twins as CC.

"They are sleeping", said Mishi. 

"Okay....and now where are you going to work?", asked Zhao.

"I'll see that don't worry", said Mishi.

"Okay....I'll meet you tomorrow as tomorrow is birthday of CC", said Zhao.

"Yeah...ok bye....I'm tired so....."

"Ok ok....bye bye...sweet dreams", said Zhao and hanged up.

She put her phone aside when it rang again. It showed her best friend's name Bai Lao.

"Finally you remember that you've a bestie", said Mishi.

"Sorry Mishi. I was in Japan...So sorry", said Bai.

"Ok ok....I forgave you", said Mishi. They started talking about the things when Bai asked, "where are you working?"

"Well again my uncle did the same thing. I was thrown out of my both jobs", mumbled Mishi.

"Oh dear....wait one of my friends work in a bar. The salary is quite good there....3 times of your past jobs and your uncle won't be able to find you there", said Bai. 

"But bar...."

"Mishi it's a bar and restaurant. Only rich people come there so you don't have to afraid. You've to work till 7pm, no night shifts. Mishi right now you need money so just go for it. I'll talk to my boyfriend as the bar owner is his friend so you don't have to worry ", said Bai.

"Okay....okay...thanks Bai", said Mishi.

"Means you will do. Okay I'll talk to my boyfriend and then text you", saying this Bai cut the call. 

After 10 minutes she called back Mishi and told her that she has to work there from tomorrow and the salary is 550$ a month with two holidays in a month. 

"Really....thanks Bai....thanks a lot", said Mishi.

"Don't thank me we're sisters. Now get some sleep.....bye take care" Saying this Bai cut the call.

"After many months we're here", said Mark looking around the bar.

"Why? Can't we come here?", asked Xian.

"We can but you didn't come here in a few months that's why I'm saying", said Mark.

They seated before a VIP table.

Xian ordered drinks for them.

"Listen Mark you don't believe me whom I've met after 6 years".

"Who?", asked Mark with a raised brow.

"That girl who made my life hell", said Xian.

"What? When?", asked Mark.

"I think fate is with me now. I'll now take my revenge from her. She will lose everything just like she did with me", said Xian while smirking.

"Hey brother, Don't do this. It's in past. Your ex has moved on so it will impact only you", said Mark.

The waiter came there with drinks. Xian took the drink and gulped it in single shot...."Mark if you don't wanna help then just stay away because I know what I'm doing", said Xian and put the glass on the table. 

"Bro....you're insane. What will you get after taking the revenge from that girl? Happiness? No...you will regret it", said Mark.

"You're wrong. The only regret in my life is that I didn't sue that girl. She should be happy that I'm not harming her siblings", said Xian.

"What? Siblings? Xian don't do anything to her.....Your ex was also at fault. She was dating her current boyfriend maybe that girl doesn't know a single thing about that", said Mark and sipped the drink.

"Mark my friend, she's not what you're thinking. So just stay away from this....", said Xian and kept on drinking.

"Happy birthday to you....happy birthday to you.....happy birthday my dear siblings....happy birthday to you", sang Mishi and clapped for them. 

"You've made this?", asked Chunhua.

"Of course....sisi knows how to bake a cake without oven", said Mishi and took the cream from the cake put it on their noses. 

"So my siblings are now 16 years old.....ye....ye...", shouted Mishi happily.

Chang and Chunhua smiled at her. "Okay so here are your gifts....for Chang I bought a new pair of shoes and a shirt and for Chunhua I've bought a dress which you always wanted", said Mishi and gave them the gifts. Chunhua looked at her gift and jumped in happiness....."Sisi I always wanted this dress....but how?"

"I saved money.....Chang how's yours?", asked Mishi pinching his nose.

"It's good....but you should've purchased something for yourself", said Chang putting the boxes aside.

"It's not my bday....", said Mishi and put the plates on the table. 

"That's why we bought something for you....here", said Chang and forwarded box to her.

"What? Why?", asked Mishi.

"Because we saw last year in the summer you were trying this dress but you didn't buy. So we saved the pocket money for a year to gift this", said Chunhua.

Tears fell from Mishi's eyes. She walked to them and packed at their cheeks....."when did you both grow up? Our parents must be seeing us", said Mishi.

The trio hugged tightly each other for a few minutes. "Come let's have breakfast", said Mishi and walked towards the table.

"We can be late today....", said Chang.

"Why?", asked Mishi.

"Well there's a practice of Chunhua so I'll come with her", said Chang.

"Okay....I'll also come late....I've found a good job with 550$ a month salary....", said Mishi.

"You cracked the interview?", asked Chunhua.

"No....it's the other job...So you both won't have to worry about anything now okay", said Mishi smilingly.

"Miss Xin, Mr Sean told me to hire you so I think you should start working. The manager of the bar will tell you about the other things", said Ying Lai, a close friend of Sean Mei(Bai Lao's boyfriend).

"Thank you sir", said Mishi and walked out of his office. She went to the manager to ask about the work. 

"Mishi you've to work in the restaurant till 5 and after that work in the bar for 2 hours..... Sometimes you could be given night shifts and you can't refuse them ...", said the manager, Lian Xi.

"Okay sir.....", said Mishi.

"The dress are in the changing room. So now go start working", said Lian with a smile. Mishi walked away from there to the restaurant and started working. 

She cleaned the tables first and then took the orders from the customers there. The other staff in the restaurant are also quite good so she get adjusted in that environment really quick. After working till 5 pm, she walked upstairs to the bar and went to the changing room. She changed her clothes and found the dress a little bit tight so she went to the manager....."Okay we will see that. If you've some good dress then you can wear that. Wear the apron above that dress. She nodded and went to the changing room.

She looked inside her bag, the dress her siblings has gifted her so she thought to wear that.....

She walked out of the changing room and went to the cellar where different wines are placed.

"Mishi here take these drinks to table 15", said the bar tender....."btw your dress in nice..."

She thanked him and walked to table 14. She put the drinks there and left for the other drinks. She then looked at her watch which was showing 7:00 "my shift is over", murmured Mishi and going to put off her apron when the bar tender said, "Mishi there are VIP customers at table 1 and 2. Others are busy so if you could..."

"Yeah sure....", said Mishi and took the drinks from him and walked towards table 1 first. Placing the drinks there she walked towards the table 2. Since it was dim light so she couldn't see that the  slippery floor because a drink fell there by mistake by other guy. She kept on walking when her heel slipped at the slippery floor and the drinks fell over the guy who was just going to sit there. She fell on the floor and the glasses broken down. Every one in the bar turned their faces to her. She tried to get up but again slipped and this time the broken glass pieces pierced her hand. She passed a low scream which didn't hear by anyone. She gathered her strength and got up from the floor. 

Without looking at the man she started apologizing from him.  The manger too came there and looked at Mishi and then at the VIP guy.

"Sorry sir....I apologize from behalf of my staff....we will...."

"Why it's always you?", said the guy looking at Mishi. Hearing his familiar voice Mishi raised her head and said loudly, "You?????"
