Part 6
Aker stopped in front of the only pub in the town.
So far, he had not found a shop that needed to recruit temporary employees, so now he has come to the central area from the outskirts of the town.
After he inquired all the way, this was the most popular place in this town, and it would get crowded every night. This pub was only run by a proprietress and a middle-aged man. Since it was a place with so many customers, it should be short of staff, right? This was what Aker thought.
Pushing open the door of the pub, what greeted Aker was a languid feeling.
It was still daytime, and there were only a few customers in the pub. A middle-aged man in a wide-brimmed leather hat dressed in awkward beachwear and slippers was sitting in front of the bar and drinking something that was probably some kind of alcohol.
And another woman who was wearing a wine-red cheongsam, who seemed to be about 20 years old, was also holding a glass in her hand, resting her head and arms on the bar counter with an indecent gesture and saying something to the middle-aged man.
Noticing that someone came in, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked at the door, while the woman didn't seem to notice the visitor at all.
"Hmmm, who is the boss here..."
Aker was overwhelmed by this mature atmosphere that he had never experienced, so his tone was a little nervous.
The man put down the glass in his hand and walked over. He pointed the woman behind him with his thumb.
"That woman is the boss, but she's completely drunk now. You can talk to me, and I will pass the message."
Only after the middle-aged man stood in front of Aker, did Aker see the burly middle-aged man clearly.
He was a head taller than Aker, his resolute face was clearly defined like it was carved out by a knife, and his voice was very deep. He didn't give off a drunk feeling that a normal drunkard would have.
Standing under the intimidating gaze of the middle-aged man, Aker felt that she was even a little breathless. However, Aker did not show it but forced a friendly smile.
"Actually, I want to find a temporary job here. My friends and I only came to this small town yesterday, but we lost all our travel expenses on the way, so I hope to find a job that can earn some travel money."
After listening, the middle-aged man grinned, and the pressure that Aker had felt disappeared suddenly.
He raised his large palm and patted Aker on the back mercilessly.
"Very good! I'm also new here, you can come to relieve my boredom, it's very good!"
"Ahem...Thank you for welcoming me, but don't you need to ask the proprietress over there first?"
"Don't worry about her, she won't mind it to have one more staff! Come over and have a drink with me!"
"I'm sorry, I'm still underage..."
"What does it matter? As long as no one knows about it!" The middle-aged man pushed Aker to the bar, took out a glass and filled Aker with a light yellow drink, and pushed it in front of him, "You won't become a man if you don't drink!"
"If that's the case, then... Wait, no! That's not how it works, right?!"
Because it was really difficult to refuse his enthusiasm, Aker had to take a sip from the glass, a spicy burning feeling instantly rushed to his throat.
——he felt that if he worked here, there would be a lot of troublesome problems...
…………
It seemed that it was just a moment, but Aker didn't realize that after drinking that glass of alcohol, he was overwhelmed by alcohol.
"Get up! Who allowed you to touch my alcohol!"
Not knowing how long he had slept, Aker was awakened by an angry shout. He raised his aching head in a daze.
The pub bar counter in front of me was the bar counter that he had only seen not long ago. The woman in the red dress who had been asleep was completely awake now and was twisting the middle-aged man's ears fiercely. It was just that the middle-aged man was still sleeping soundly, showing no signs of getting up as if he was not affected by it at all.
"So, who are you?"
The red-dressed woman finally moved her attention away from the middle-aged man and looked at Aker.
The windows that had been closed in the pub were now open. As the cool breeze blew past, Aker's drunk mind became a little soberer. He quickly got up from his seat and greeted the proprietress of this pub.
"My name is Aker and I am a traveler. I want to stay and work in your pub. That uncle said before that you will agree, so he let me stay here and wait. "
"Okay, my name is Nia. This is my pub."
"Thank you!"
"But I won't pay you."
"Thank...Wait what!" Aker finally reacted, "Why? !”
Nia pointed to a few empty bottles lying on the table.
"Did you drink it too? Even if you don't want to stay to work, I will force you to stay and work to pay back the money."
"So that's why he is so sure that you will allow me to stay here!"
Aker's mind went blank for a while.
"That man is the same as you. Just call him Gurley. That's what he told me." Nia glanced at the middle-aged man who was sleeping on the bar counter, "He smashed a bottle of my treasured good wine when he first came here, so he is now working here to pay off debts just like you."
—— Are you serious! Aker cursed the middle-aged man named Gurley countless times in his mind and then turned to Nia.
"Can you provide me a place to live as well? Any place is fine because now I don't even have money to live in the hotel."
"There is a warehouse underground, it’s cold in winter and hot in summer, so you can live there with him." Nia pointed to the corner stairs, "I will give you another task, keep eyes on him, and don’t let him drink all my wines! If I do it well, I can consider reducing the amount of your debt. What do you think?"
Aker had no other choice but to agree. It seemed that he would need to spend some time in an underground warehouse that was hot in winter and cool in summer.
Although he would be worried if he couldn't see Loulou and Lynn at night, nothing bad would happen in such a peaceful town.
"Ah! Miss Nia, can you advance part of my pay first? "At this moment, Aker remembered that he had to pay back the fee he owed to the old man in the hotel. "Can this money be added to the amount of debt repayment?"
"The debtor actually wants to borrow money from the creditor? Little brother, I didn't expect you to be this bold."
As expected of a businessman, Nia saw through Aker's intentions at a glance. In desperation, Aker had no choice but to tell Nia about his tragic experience.
After she heard the story, Aker did not know whether she sympathized with him or wanted to refuse. After thinking for a few seconds, she suddenly made an unexpected suggestion.
"You still have two girls over there, right? Just let them live here. There is no problem for two more people to live in my room. As long as you stay here and work hard, I won't charge their rent."
