"Where do you work?" Lila was truly curious. With William's quirky temperament, what kind of boss would hire him?
And besides, with William's attitude, working for someone else?
William thought for a moment and said, "Moonlit Harbor Pub."
He might not have recognized the name just yesterday, but today, after searching it up on his phone and reading reviews, he learned it's a popular spot for drinks.
William was actually quite fond of good wine.
Since it's a place that sells alcohol, there might be good wine to drink.
At least, when he worked as a waiter in a tavern in the past, the boss would reward him with a sip or two when in a good mood.
"A pub?" Lila was stunned on the spot. "What do you do in a pub?"
"Waiter." William didn't think there was anything wrong with this job. After all, it was an honest living.
Lila took a deep breath, really doubting her ears.
Her grandfather had offered a black gold card, which William didn't even accept, and he had just snapped at the old dean of Hudson University, leaving him speechless. Such a person working in a pub?
"William, if you want to work, I can introduce you to something. Why would you need to be a waiter in that place?" Emily still had a good impression of William. Witty, humorous, and handsome, she could definitely find him a decent job considering her family background.
William replied, "No need, I've already promised the boss I'll go today, and besides, I only work in the evening, so it's fine."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Wow, working and studying diligently!" Emily grinned at William. "I admire you. If you ever want to change jobs, come to me."
"What's gotten into you?" Lila facepalmed. Her impression of William was anything but good. His quirky temperament and arrogance, even more than hers, had she not been instructed by her grandfather, she would have washed her hands of him long ago.
Emily laughed, "Hehe, Lila, don't be jealous. I'm not trying to steal your boyfriend."
"I told you, he's not my boyfriend!" Lila really didn't know how to explain.
"I've never seen you so concerned about a guy before." Emily's eyes narrowed, and she said to William, "William, I'm rooting for you, keep it up."
William glanced at Lila and said, "I told you, she's too young."
"Definitely not young." Emily looked at a certain part of Lila, mumbling to herself.
Lila clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "Enough from both of you!"
Discussing her size out of the blue, was that really okay?
"I'm talking about age," William finally realized that Emily must have misunderstood something.
"Age? Lila's twenty-one!" Emily looked at William in surprise. "You don't look much older than Lila. Do you like older women or something?"
Lila stared at William curiously, his taste was indeed somewhat unique!
Women are like that. I may not like you, but if you think I'm not good, that's not acceptable.
William isn't old, how could he possibly like cougars?
"Cougars?" A glint flashed in William's eyes. Young girls have their own charm, and cougars have theirs. He momentarily recalled some past relationships with mature women.
Some people's preference for cougars wasn't without reason.
Emily pointed at William and exclaimed, "No way! You really like cougars? Such strong taste?"
William glanced at her, too lazy to explain so much.
"It's over! He really likes cougars! Lila, you're done for," Emily said with a smack of her lips, "There's no hope."
Lila, drained of energy with anger, said, "Enough! Aren't we going to some pub? Are we leaving or not?"
William nodded, "Let's go."
"Together! Together! Lila, let's party at the pub tonight and call up a few friends," Emily grinned mischievously. "If William isn't having fun working there, he'll immediately become a customer!"
"Whatever," Lila said nonchalantly. Coming from a wealthy family and trained in some self-defense, she felt that she could ensure the safety of herself and those around her, even in the diverse environment of a pub.
The group finally left David behind and headed to the pub, ignoring his shouts, as Lila drove away.
Once in the car, Emily transferred the money for the museum tickets to David, then said to Lila, "Lila, sorry. I didn't know you hated David so much, or I wouldn't have invited him."
Lila responded nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. Whether he comes or not makes no difference."
"Hehe, then I don't feel guilty at all," Emily laughed and said, "I'll call my big sister to come along. Let's have a drink together."
"The pub is probably not open yet," Lila said. "You should call your sister first."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmily nodded, made a call and said, "Sis, where are you? Come out for drinks tonight! I'll introduce you to a handsome guy."
"What handsome guy? I'm at East 62nd Street with Alice, waiting for someone."
"East 62nd Street? What are you waiting for there?" Emily raised an eyebrow. If she remembered correctly, William lived on East 62nd Street.
"Grandpa told me to find someone named William on East 62nd Street and follow his instructions. I don't know what he's thinking. That guy wasn't home, and I ran into Alice. She was looking for him too."
Emily sneakily glanced at William and whispered, "Sis, I think the person you're looking for might be sitting right next to me."
"What? He's sitting next to you? Where are you? I'm coming right away."
Emily replied, "We're going to Moonlit Harbor Pub. Lila's with me too."
"Lila's involved too? That was quick! I'm on my way. Don't tell anyone else about William."
The call ended.
Emily, holding her phone and staring at William, was speechless for a moment.
William looked at her and said, "I don't really like strangers bothering me. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Who are you, exactly?" Emily finally started to take William seriously. "My sister's actually gone to your house looking for you!"
Lila, driving the car, shuddered inside. Bella, a woman so proud and haughty, had gone to look for William too?
What kind of person was William?
"Then please tell your sister not to come," William didn't answer her, saying coldly, "Even if she comes, I don't plan to entertain her."
"You really are..." Emily was truly impressed. Her sister Bella was the Vice President of Whitestone Group, a real beauty and a successful businesswoman. There were people chasing after her that could fill a whole street, yet William just told her not to come!
