LIFE BEGINS AT 40

BRANDON

I came from my parent's hometown for family reunion, two weeks away from my club. David is my trusted person in my club and other businesses if I am not around. He keeps me updated with everything. 

I opened the folder and read some files one by one. Newly hired in my businesses most of them from the pub and café. The last resume I have in my hand is in the club. I got curious to read her information because she is not younger of all the newly employees David hired.

I was right from the look of the picture, she is not young but she is 40 years old, an Asian. She is working in the club as a part time during weekends. 

I wanted to meet her in person there is something in her that intrigues me and I do not know what it is. Maybe her eyes, her looks but she is not even photogenic. With the picture in her resume but why I was eager to meet her. 

I called David to come to my office. A few minutes later a doorbell sound heard from the door, I pushed the button unlocked. David came in.

"Yes, boss." He said in front of my desk.

I was still holding her resume. "David, I did not know that you were hiring a part time in the club for the first time." I asked for curiosity because most of the part time where assigned in the pub or café.

"Ah, Erine. Well, Destiny asked me if there is a vacancy for a part time job here in the club during weekends. I asked her why only on weekends if she could work shorter time in the pub or café. She said that Erine have a regular job on weekdays and her free time is only during weekends," he told me. "Then I keep on thinking that we need a hand on weekends since it always full pack and the kitchen area needs a hand." he added.

I nodded as I heard his explanations. "Okay, I get it but before you go I want to meet her in here and tell the chef to cook me some foods and a bottle of wine please. You let her bring it in here." I ordered and David walked out from the office.

Half an hour later, another doorbell sound from the door. I pushed the button unlocked and I saw Greg helped her holds the door then he closed back. It was automatic lock from the inside.

She was walking towards me holding a tray both of her hands. She was not looking at me as she was stepping forward. Her face was not bow lower but only her eyes were looking down.

She was in front of me, "Good evening Boss." she greeted me and she looked at me. When her eyes and mine met, my heart is racing.
