" Jen?" Alaric called out voice a little strained. That was when she noticed him.
" Ooh Alaric what are you doing here?" She asked as she reached the place they were standing. Kisha wrapped her hands around Jens forearm and leaned against her.
" Dungeon clearing," Kisha answered before Alaric could answer. Alaric nodded beside her.
Jen turned to Kisha with a disapproving frown," you are not supposed to go to the dungeon without your weapon," she said shaking her head," what if something happens."
Kisha rolled her eyes," Alaric protected me the whole way."
Alaric looked at the interraction and knew they were close.
" Thanks for looking after her, " Jen said bowing her head a little," Kisha is quite an impulsive person."
Alaric smiled and said," it's okay, it wasn't that much of a burden."
From the looks of it Jen didn't see them kissing. Knowing how emotional she was, Alaric could bet that it might hurt her.
He turned to look at Kisha who winked at him while Jen wasn't looking.
His phone pinged then he saw the car that he had ordered arrive to pick him up.
" I'm going to leave you two," he said to Jen then turned and looked at Kisha.
" I'll come find you," she mouthed.
He nodded at her and Left. Jen had been his only customer that choose to sleep with him once and never coming back.
From the ring on her hand she seemed to have gotten in a relationship with the guy she told him about.
He arrived at the brothel an hour later.
Since he wasn't that clean he entered through the back door and headed directly to his room . He definitely needed a bath.
He could still feel the smell of the dungeon on him.
After a warm bath Alaric went downstairs to meet kael. He would be going to the dungeon the next day and he wanted to know his plan.
" Alaric, " he turned to see James standing just at the end of the staircase," when did you come back?"
" Just an hour ago, I came through the back door," he said then asked," do you know where kael is?"
" Ooh he should be out in the courtyard," he said pointing at the huge glass windows that had been converted into sliding doors," there are a few customers present so he's just watching over."
He walked to the courtyard to see kael standing at the very edge. There were less than ten men and half of them were awakeners.
Most guests had gone home after the previous night auction while the lingering ones had left early in the morning.
Alaric wondered if the group were reminants or new customers who came to visit.
He was about to pass silently behind them when a voice came," hey,you?"
He turned and looked at the group of men.
" Can I help you sirs," he asked putting on his profession voice and smile.
" Do you work here?" Another asked assessing Alaric one by one.
He looked at the bottles of alcohol in the table and frowned. They were too many and it clearly was over the limit they sell to one person.
" Yes, I do work here," he nodded.
" Bring us more alcohol?" The man ordered throwing a five hundred dollar bill.
" What is this for sir?" He asked pointing at the money.
" Ooh just a tip ," the man said dismissively.
" I cannot accept this," he said giving the man's money back," you have already drunk over the limit."
He placed the limit since the brothel was not a bar or club. He didn't want drunks everywhere.
" What !what limit! I'm the customer here!" The man shouted trying to move towards Alaric.
One of the other men he was with caught his arm and pulled him back down, " stop causing trouble," he said to the drunk then turned to Alaric, " I apologize for him, the waiter serving us never told us their was a limit."
Alaric nodded at his explanation.
" Please do take your friend home," he said to the man politely," I'll let it pass since it was a miscommunication from our side."
The man nodded with a smile and stood up with the other people with him followed right after.
He turned to Alaric one last time and said with a smile, " this place is very peacefull. Is it okay to just come and sit here?"
Alaric smiled at him and nodded, " sure you are welcomed at anytime."
The man nodded followed his group.
Alaric was quite happy since he had gotten his first review. The brothel was opened here and it was to become both a recreation place and a place for just resting.
He knew that not all people who came to the brothel would be there to sleep with women. Some just want peace from the outside world and the place was well isolated.
He waved at Kael to come over with a serious face. Kael jogged to him.
" How have you been?" He asked him.
" I've been fine," kael answered with a smile.
Alaric didn't, he was angry at the fact that alcohol had been given out in too much quantities and both him and James had not noticed it.
" Did you notice that the men exceeded their drinks limit? " He asked Kael with a serious face.
Kael shook his head, " I just arrived ten minutes before you , but I met the server who brought the drinks. "
Alaric's face turned cold. He had only employed thirty people to manage the mansion.
It seemed that some though the place was easy money. The moment rules start being broken it will destroy the very structure of the brothel from the inside out.
" Let's go," he said to Kael.
Kael nodded and led the way. They arrived at the break area where most of the workers always stay to rest.
Since there was not many customers in the brothel most of them were there resting to prepare for the evening rush.
The moment Alaric entered the room everyone went quite looking at him. He looked at kael.
" Who?" He asked him out loud.
Kael looked around his eyes scanning everyone. All the workers were not meeting his eyes clearly scared.
Alaric could understand their reaction since right now he was boiling with anger. If he had not noticed this, it might have continued for a while.
What if the girls get a drunk man for a customer without knowing, what if they riot?
There were so many what ifs that he just shut it all down.
" There," kael said suddenly pointing to a girl who seemed to be in her mid twenties was sitting almost covered by the lockers .
Alaric walked calmy towards the girl his face neutral. He came to a standstill before her.
" How much money did you get?" Alaric asked directly, he wasn't about to beat around the bush.
" What money?" the girl replied her voice defensive.
" I don't want to repeat myself ," he said his voice cold.
" Five thousand," she said her voice low.
Most of the people who heard it gasped. That was lot of money especially getting it for a day.
" Give me your uniform," he said his voice cold," you are fired count the money you worked hard for as your compensation. I'm not going to charge you for contract breaking."
" But..but.. I told you the price.. please I need this job," the girl finally came to her senses the moment she heard his words. This had been her best paying job but she got greedy when she was offered so many tips for each drinks they brought .
" You should have thought of that before you got greedy," Alaric said and turned towards the other spectating workers.
" I'm going to say this one last time for those tempted by money. I have rules for a reason and if you can't follow them and I find out your result will be much worse. I don't appreciate disobedience," he said his voice commanding and cold.
They all nodded. He turned to look at the crying girl now kneeling at his feet.
" Please I have a child, I need the money," she tried the emotional card.
" Then your child must have been unlucky from the start," he said looking at her with disdain," did you even think about your child when you went against work ethics?"
She looked down visibly distressed.
The door was then opened and James came in saying," I heard a commotion would..." He stopped when he saw Alaric in the room.
" James did you know someone is selling excessive alcohol?" Alaric asked.
James shook his head.
" Well I just happened to stumble upon a violation."
" What," James exclaimed shocked by what he said. He had been the one to personally employ them so this was a smack on his face.
He turned to look at the kneeling girl looking at him with hope and bowed to Alaric in remose," this was a lapse of judgement on my side, it won't happen again," he said to Alaric.
" Everyone makes mistakes ."
Alaric said and left the room James will deal with the rest. He was about to have a talk with kael who was following him when a commotion happened.
A beautiful woman wearing a pink sun dress walked in with cameras following her. She directly zeroed on him and smiled.
