Lester took out a wad of cash from his pocket and stuffed it in Chloe’s hands. “This is your salary for the month. Stop working here from now on.”

Thomas broke Harvey’s head with a bottle and destroyed his legs. There was no way Harvey would let that slide. Even without Lester’s advice, Chloe didn’t think she could even keep on working at the bar. However, she was surprised that Lester would pay her, and it was more than her fair share too.

Thomas understood where Lester was coming from. Lester was doing this out of the kindness of his heart, so Thomas calmed down.

“Mr. Lush, I make three hundred and fifty dollars every month, and it hasn’t been two weeks this month. That’s more than my fair share.” She pulled a few notes out and tried to give them back to Lester.

Lester waved his hands. “Not the time to talk about this, Chloe. Listen to me. A girl like you shouldn’t work in places like bars. It’s not the cleanest working place in the world, and you’re not cut out for any work here. You have to leave, or Harvey’s thugs are gonna catch you.”

Chloe knew how dangerous bars were, especially after everything she saw when she was working in the bar. Some girls had their drinks spiked, some drank too much and were f*cked on the spot, and some were taken away by force. She too was teased due to her cute looks. If it weren’t for the fact that someone would help her every time she got in trouble, she would have ended up like one of those girls. Of course, she was scared, but there was no choice. This place paid her well, and she needed the money for her father’s medical bills.

“Thank you.” She bowed at Lester.

They bid farewell to Lester and went back to Chloe’s house. The girl said nothing, but Thomas could see that she was upset. “Are you angry at me, Chloe?”

“What are you talking about? You saved me, Thomas. I just think it’s a shame to lose this job. And after all I went through to get it too.”
