Chapter 12: Bastard manager
“Lea, you’ve been called a manager,” said Theo, one of the same maids as Kalea. The girl frowned, wondering what made the manager call her. She walked while carrying the plates used by customers to the dishwasher. Theo also walked hand in hand with Kalea. “Maybe you’ll get a raise,” the man whispered.
Kalea’s eyebrows rose, hearing Theo’s words made her a little excited. The corners of the girl’s lips lifted. “Then I’ll see the manager first,” said Kalea, while patting Theo lightly on the shoulder.
After she put down the plates, she walked a little faster towards her manager’s special room. She stopped her steps after being right in front of the door of the room, Kalea first smoothed her appearance and prepared her best smile. After feeling steady, she started knocking on the white door.
“Mr. John,” Kalea called. However, there was no response from within. Kalea started calling him again several times, but her manager, John, still didn’t make a sound. Kalea frowned in confusion, did Theo trick her? Because the man was quite ignorant and often teased her. Kalea still doesn’t want to think negatively about her friend. She finally had the courage to open the door. And it turned out that no one was there.
Kalea closed the door again. John may still be serving VIP guests. She still tried to think positively and walked back to meet her friends, who were still working but through a different path.
The corridor is so quiet, the rooms there are specifically for guests who want a private room. The girl was a little surprised when a woman came out of one of the rooms.
“Rosalia?” called Kalea while approaching the woman. “Are you serving special guests?” she asked. Kalea knew the woman very well because she could be said to be a senior who was so gentle and very kind to her. Rosalia was very beautiful in her thirties, with hair that was as red as a rose.

“Ah ... I’m looking for a manager. Theo said the manager called me,” Kalea replied. “Did you see Mr. John?”
Rosalia looks nervous, she holds both of Kalea’s shoulders. “I don’t-”
The door to the room opened and there was the manager Kalea had been looking for. “Oh, Kalea. You must have been looking for me, didn’t you? Come here, I have something to talk about. And you must be very happy,” said John, inviting Kalea into the room.
The girl smiled faintly, then turned to her senior, who still looked tense and didn’t even greet John. Kalea let go of Rosalia’s arm that was on her shoulder. “Are you okay?” asked Kalea in a low voice, she saw the senior’s face was so pale.
“Rosalia? Are you sick?” asked John, even though Rosalia still had her back to him.
The woman turned and smiled sweetly at her boss. “No, Sir. I was just about to tell Kalea that you were here,” answered Rosalia, looking reassuringly.
John smiled meaningfully. “Then you can go back to work,” he said to Rosalia. He closed the door after Kalea was in the room with him.
Kalea was a little confused, why did John take her to the private room of the customers. Moreover, Rosalia also just came out of the room. Previously, Kalea thought it wouldn’t be this empty. Her body stiffened when she felt a hand gripping her shoulders. “S-sir?” Kalea quickly turned around to face the manager.
John laughed softly, he walked over and sat on one of the chairs. “Come here, Kalea.”
The girl walked over and decided to sit next to the manager. There was no suspicion in her mind at all. She was looking forward to hearing what John would have to say, because the man had said she would be happy to find out.
“You asked for a raise before, didn’t you?” asked John to the point, and was eagerly awaited by Kalea. The girl nodded quickly, making John chuckle amused. “I can grant it.”
Instantly Kalea’s face lit up, unable to hide her happiness. “Really, sir? Will my salary increase this month?” asked Kalea very enthusiastically. She could already imagine when she got double the salary than before. Instantly, she regretted having agreed to her contract with Arthur so quickly. If John had told her earlier, perhaps life wouldn’t have been as difficult as before with a more than adequate salary. But rice has become porridge. At least she could hasten her relationship with Arthur.
“Yes, your salary will increase this month, Kalea,” said John, with a very deep look at the girl.
Kalea’s face, which was initially so happy, suddenly tensed up again when John touched her thigh. “As long as you also grant my request,” John continued and squeezed Kalea’s thigh.
Kalea ventured to get rid of her manager’s arm. She looked down, afraid to look at the man. “W-what is your request, Sir?”
John got up from his seat, further eroding the distance between himself and Kalea. He brought his face close to her ear. Kalea’s eyes rounded after John said what he wanted. It turned out that John would raise her salary if she agreed to sleep with the man in his forties.
Kalea shook her head quickly, she got up from her seat and walked backwards away from the man with the mustache. “T-that’s impossible, Sir,” she refused. John just smiled lopsidedly, his gaze was so mischievous and kept walking slowly towards Kalea.
“Don’t be afraid, Kalea. Don’t you want your salary to be increased? Then why did you refuse?”
“No! That’s not the way, Sir,” the girl whispered, and kept shaking her head until her body finally hit the wall. She had nowhere to run anymore, because John was getting closer to her. Kalea cursed in her heart for not running to the exit immediately.

As for you, I made an easy offer to you. Aren’t I very nice?” John stroked Kalea’s brunette hair making the girl close her eyes in fear of the manager.
“Then I will work even harder, Sir. I’m sorry I can’t do such a thing,” Kalea refused again in a trembling voice.
“You think I’ll make it easier for you to get to that? I won’t, Kalea. Since you’ve turned it down, I’m going to reduce your salary,” John’s finale made no sense.
Kalea looked up at her boss. “D-don’t play with me, Sir!”
“Kalea, if you want to play with me, I’ll take you to another man. A lot of people want you. Don’t you want to have a lot of money?” John replied casually, then presumptuously hugged Kalea. The girl tried to break free from the hug, but John’s strength was of course greater than her.
“Please let me go ...,” Kalea pleaded, still trying to get away from the manager.
“Okay, okay. I’ll let go,” said John, making Kalea a little relieved. But apparently, the man brought his face closer to kiss Kalea. Luckily, Kalea held it back with her hand. It didn’t last long because John grabbed Kalea’s arms so she couldn’t fight back. One of his legs was in between the legs of the brunette haired girl. John smiled with satisfaction because Kalea couldn’t defend herself anymore. “Shut up and enjoy the game.”
“No! If you dare to do it, I will scream!” Kalea replied, she wasn’t speaking politely again to that bastard manager anymore.
John ignored it and immediately pounced on the girl’s lips. Kalea was unable to fight it, she closed her eyes because she felt insulted by what the man had done to her. All she could think about was hoping someone would help her, whoever it was. John let go of the kiss, saw Kalea who was so sexy with the lipstick color that was messed up by her kiss. The girl’s gaze was so sharp, it showed hatred.
Kalea still tried to struggle even though it always failed. She flinched as John’s feet rose to touch her privacy.. Kalea wanted to scream but the bastard kissed her again. Not long, John suddenly broke the kiss and fell down. Kalea was of course surprised to see John grimace while holding his back.
“Who are you-” John couldn’t finish his words because he was hit again by the man who suddenly entered the room. As if dissatisfied, he still trampled on Kalea’s manager’s body repeatedly until John couldn’t move anymore.
“T-that’s enough!” Kalea stopped the man from getting away from the unconscious John. Her eyes rounded when she found out who it was. Kalea pulled the man’s arm out of the room. After feeling safe enough, Kalea let go of her grip and turned to face the man who had saved her.
“What are you doing and why are you here?” Kalea asked, which only made the man even more annoyed.
“Huh? Out of the various thanks, was that the word that came out of your mouth? And I should be the one asking that!”
