Chapter 8 : New Work

"I didn't steal anything! I don't even have the urge to do that kind of thing!" Elijah explained but the blonde haired woman still looked at him angrily.

"Maybe he stole your phone because his jealous because he's too poor to buy a phone," the blonde haired friend said. "Stop making excuses because we already know the truth!" she added.

'Damn, when you are poor no one will believe you?'

Raiven suddenly came and asked what was going on. "What's happening here?" the man asked with a smile on his face.

"That waiter of yours stole my cellphone! Is he too poor to steal other people's things? You shouldn't hire people like him in your bar!" the blonde woman said angrily and pointed her finger at Elijah.

Raiven's smile quickly disappeared because of what he heard.

"Huh? Elijah would never be a thief. Do you have any proof of what you're accusing?" his friend asked seriously and Elijah noticed that many people were watching them and he felt ashamed because of what was happening even though he was really innocent.

"Yes! My friend saw my cellphone in his pocket! See? He's really a thief! He deserves to go to jal!" the blonde haired woman shouted angrily.

In the midst of all of their chaos, a man wearing a hat and carrying a brief case came to their center.

"For your information, that man didn't steal your cellphone, miss," the man wearing a hat said seriously and Elijah frowned because he realized this was the man who asked him what he would do if he became a billionaire.

'What is he doing here? Is he on drugs again or something?'

"Huh? Who are you? And how can you prove that he wasn't the one who stole my cellphone, you see it's in his pocket?" said the blonde girl angrily. "Don't defend him anymore because it's obvious that he really took my cellphone! What do you want to say? That my cellphone suddenly went into his pocket? That's ridiculous!"

The mysterious man removed his hat and pointed his one finger to a woman with short hair and Elijah noticed that it was the woman who bumped into him earlier. "She was the one holding your cellphone earlier and I saw him bump into Elijah and secretly put your cellphone in his pocket," the man explained and the blonde haired woman's eyes widened.

'How did he know my name? I feel like I really need to know this mysterious man! But what is he saying?'

"Don't make up any more fake stories because you're not a fvcking writer! Because we know the truth that that man is a thief!" the blonde woman shouted angrily and Elijah was about to speak to defend himself when a bouncer came and approached his friend.

"Sir Raiven, we have already reviewed the CCTV and it is true that the woman put the cellphone in Elijah's pocket," said the bouncer.

"What?!" the blonde woman shouted angrily and Elijah noticed that the mysterious man wearing the hat had disappeared.

'Where did he go?'

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" the woman who bumped into Elijah, cried.

In the end, it was proven that the woman who bumped into him put the cell phone of the blonde haired woman. The blonde haired girl didn't even apologize to Elijah and just left the bar.

"Damn, I can't believe that happened," he heard his friend say while he was sitting on the sofa, he was inside Raiven's office.

But Elijah was thinking more about who the mysterious man was who came earlier and defended him. "Do you know that man wearing the hat earlier?" he asked his friend.

"That weird guy with the brief case?" Raiven asked and he nodded. "I don't know him, that was the first time I saw him here at the bar, why?"

"I saw him before and he suddenly asked me what I would do if I became a billionaire," he explained and he heard his friend's loud laughter.

"Hahahaha! Really? Is he on drugs or what? That was so random, man! Hahahaha!" he murmured and he burst into laughter.

"Yeah it's random, I don't even know him," Elijah answered.

"He's weird. . ."

He immediately went back to work and forgot what happened earlier, he really can't believe that because he is poor someone can accuse him like that. When the bar was about to close, Elijah took the trashbags and threw them on the side of his friend's bar. After he finished throwing away the trash, he was about to enter the bar but he stopped when he saw the mysterious man wearing a hat and carrying a brief case who seemed to be waiting for him.

"The bar is closed already, you can come back tomorrow," Elijah said as he walked towards the mysterious man.

"Are you looking for a job?" the man asked him and he frowned at what he heard.

"I am looking for a job," he answered while looking at the mysterious man, he noticed the scar on his cheek that looked like he had been cut by a knife and because of that the man looked scary.

"In the mansion where I work, they are looking for a security guard, are you okay with that work?" the man said.

"But what's your name and how did you know my name?" Elijah asked because that's what he noticed earlier because this man said his name.

The man raised his eyebrows and then cleared his throat. "I just heard your name from the owner of the bar and I'm Ace by the way," he replied to him and Elijah nodded. "What now? Are you willing to accept to work for a rich family? The salary is great and you can live in the mansion itself."

"What family will I work for?" he asked. "And I'm not a college graduate, is that okay?" he added.

"Cromwell Family," Ace answered seriously while looking at him. "And yeah, it's okay even if you're not a college graduate."

"Okay, I'll accept it," Elijah answered.

He quickly talked to his friend to tell about that job.

"Really? You'll accept it?" Raiven asked him and he quickly nodded. "Okay, take care there and if they treat you like shit I will take you from them."

Elijah laughed softly and took his bags containing his clothes. He looked at his friend again and said goodbye.

"See you when I see you," he murmured and Raiven just nodded and he quickly left the bar, he saw Ace waiting for him outside.

"Are you ready?" the man asked him and he quickly nodded and got into Ace's car, the man quickly started the engine of the car and left.
