C5 They Met on a Narrow Road(1)

On the other side, Alina, who was preparing for her interview in a high-end club, could not help but sneeze. She quickly took out a tissue and wiped her nose. She muttered, "Who is cursing me behind my back?"

This morning, she had just come out of the motel and saw a recruitment advertisement at the entrance of a nearby high-end club.

Standing under the cold winter sunlight, Alina counted the remaining pink notes in her wallet. Her heart also turned cold. She finally made a decision: she was going to apply for the job!

She had been a rich young lady for eighteen years. She never thought that she would be forced to work.

"Alina!" In the interview room, someone was already calling her name.

Alina took a deep breath and walked in. She calmly sat down in the chair in front of the interviewer. Before the other party could speak, she quickly said, "I'm here to apply for a waitress. I have already said that I'm only a waitress and not a part of the staff. To put it simply, I'm just... working hard and not selling my body."

There were always some unscrupulous transactions in high-end clubs. She was afraid that once she entered this circle, she would not be able to leave unscathed. She would be forced to become a prostitute.

The few executives in charge of the interview looked at each other. A middle-aged woman sitting in the middle glanced at her and said in a contemptuous tone, "If you want to sell your body, then someone has to buy it."

As she spoke, everyone's gaze fell on Alina's face. It was hard to say what she was thinking. There was ridicule and disdain in their eyes. Some people couldn't help but laugh.

This girl dared to say such words despite her ugly appearance. Who gave her such confidence?

No one knew that this was not Alina's real appearance. When she was studying abroad, she had accidentally caused a big trouble. She had to disguise herself as an ugly woman and escape back to the country.

"Alright, you don't have to say anything. I will now announce that you have been eliminated." The middle-aged woman shifted her gaze and shouted towards the door, "Next!"

Alina didn't mind. After returning to the country with such an ugly face, she had been mocked and ridiculed by others. She had already trained her heart to be a diamond.

Furthermore, she believed that there was always someone to be left behind!

Sure enough, just as she walked to the door of the clubhouse, a cleaning lady in a dark blue uniform stopped her. "Little girl, we are short of a cleaner here. I wonder if you... are willing to do it?"

At this moment, a few girls who had failed to apply for the job walked past Alina. However, the cleaning lady only stared at her with an eager gaze.

Alina stopped and thought for a moment before nodding. "Sure."

In order to prevent her stepmother, Piper, from capturing her, she had to do some dirty work. It was safer to hide in the city.

After all, Piper never expected that the young lady of the Johnston family would become a cleaner.

...

Alina had been working for a few days. She had always been very adaptable. From the initial discomfort, she had adapted very quickly.

In fact, the job of a cleaner was just a little bit dirty and tiring, but at least it didn't need to be a struggle. It was much better than when she was in the Johnston family.

Looking at the red and green lights in the clubhouse, and the girls who had been seduced by money and fame, she felt that the job of a cleaner was just dirty on the surface.

One night, Alina was mopping the floor in the corridor when she suddenly heard footsteps. It was followed by the manager's flattering voice.

"Mr. Giles, I didn't expect you to come! If you had said hello, I would have cleaned up the place for you!"

Immediately after, a man's deep and magnetic voice sounded, accompanied by an aloof and arrogant tone, "Then what are you waiting for?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I will immediately get someone to clean up the place!" The manager wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

Alina's hands, which were mopping the floor, suddenly froze. Because... the man's voice was very familiar. She seemed to have heard it somewhere.

A white light flashed in her mind. She suddenly remembered that it was the man she had slept with in the motel a few days ago!
