Chapter 9

The bar manager slapped Anhao’s hand away. “That’s right! You’ve hit the jackpot today! The other girls are hoping that you’d collapse from all the drinking so they can take your place! I wouldn’t have given such good stuff to you had you not worked here for more than a year.”

“Alright, alright! I’m on it, I’m on it!”

After nodding vigorously, Anhao wobblily ran to change into her usual work attire and put on a special smart wig in the restroom. She planned to earn that hefty sum before crashing for the night.

Both the attire and wig she wore while working in the bar were actually unconventional fashion of this modern era.

First, they fit in perfectly with the atmosphere of the bar. And second, most men nowadays favored lovely girls. Those perverts would never take advantage of her due to her adopting such a disguise which made her feel safe and secure.

After that, she then asked her manager for the client’s address. However, the bar manager said with a frown upon seeing her being terribly wobbly while walking, “Look, I think it’s best not to force yourself to do it. Look at how drunk you are now. What if…”

“Don’t say that! That’s five thousand dollars for five bottles of Louis XIII! Can’t you see how awake I am now? I’m even more awake now than ever!”

Snatching the address written by her manager and making an OK sign, Anhao spoke while hiccupping. “Just wait until I make my triumphant return with a huge stack of cash!”

The bar manager helplessly covered his face.

Usually, Gu Anhao was still considerably dependable. She might be terribly drunk, but she was always crafty and resourceful, so he was not worried that anything would happen to her. The bar manager then signaled for her to take her leave.

Anhao stopped a taxi after excitedly heading out of the bar and traveled all the way to Deways Hotel. Despite being so drunk to the point where her vision was blurred, the amount of money she could make from delivering the bottles of alcohol was stuck in her head.

***

Deways Hotel was one of A City’s best 5-star hotels, and only politicians and people of high status in commercial circles were able to afford it.

After getting out of the taxi, Anhao kissed the note containing the address while carrying those five bottles of cognac before proceeding to waddle her way inside.

On the note were the words ‘Room 1608 of Deways Hotel’. She entered the elevator and pressed a number before closing her eyes. While waiting patiently for the elevator to reach her destination, she was trying hard to withhold the dizziness in her head.

A while later, the elevator made its stop at the sixth floor, and she made her way out the moment the elevator door opened. As she struggled to open her drunkenly obscure eyes, she was searching for the door numbered 08 and finally found it. And then, she rang the doorbell.

After pressing the doorbell for quite some time, someone finally opened the door. Anhao then proceeded to lift up the five bottles of cognac and professionally said with a pretty and seductive smile. “Excuse me, Sir. Here’s the alcohol…”

“Gu Anhao?”

While walking out of the room, the man suddenly said her name with a somewhat cold and doubtful tone.

Anhao was wide awake in shock, while her blurry vision suddenly turned crystal clear.

It was Zuo Hancheng’s gloomy face that made her freeze the moment she took a closer look.

‘Zuo Hancheng! You again!’

Three hours ago, he sent her back to her school and patiently asked her to sleep early. The obedient-looking face she had while waving goodbye some time ago was completely in contrast with her currently astonished face.

She looked like a dissolute escort from a nightclub, especially with her repelling thick makeup, the afro wig on her head, and her unconventional attire along with some heavy metal jewelry!
