Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ Pretty Lady ❯ Vol Seven, Chapter Forty: Bar Girls ( Chapter 40 )

Bar Girls

A new bar opened up around Christmas. It's for ladies only. They are looking for new hires. All of the women in Moscow lined up at the doors. Even Mai wanted to check it out. Takako gave her a funny look.

“Why do you want to go to a bar?” she asked. Her sister grinned at her.

“But it's all girls,” she said. “Plus, we could use some extra cash.”

“And?” Takako said. Mai grabbed her by the hand.

“Come on,” she said. “It could be fun. We just have to apply. We might not get the job.” Takako gave her a strange look. The younger sister wasn't going to back down. The older sister sighed and dropped her shoulders.

“Fine,” she said. “We can check it out.” Mai squealed and hugged her wildly.

“Yay! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” she said. Takako rolled her eyes.

“Right…” she said. She would have to humor her for now.

The bar was called Powder Dreams. It wasn't the best but they were going to make up for it with everything else. First, they needed staff members. The girls had to be skilled, witty, good with social skills, and really pretty. Age didn't matter in this case.

The owners were surprised to get so many application on the first day.

“Where do we even start?” Olga asked. Her partner looked through a fresh stack.

“Do you want to go by age or experience first?” she asked. Olga turned to her.

“Which one do you prefer?” she asked. Her partner took a moment to think.

“I'm fond of experience myself,” she said. She sat down at the table next to Olga. It took work to sort out the ones they wanted and the other they didn't. In the end, they came down to ten applicants on day one. Olga breathed out as she looked at the last application.

“Welcome ladies,” she said. “We will give you a call back.”

“I'm on it,” her partner said. She picked up the phone.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Nikkita asked.

“Yeah,” Mai said as she looked at her long black skirt and white blouse in the mirror. She picked up a tube of dark red lipstick.

“But why?” he asked.

“I'm bored,” his wife complained.

“Then join a book club or something,” Nikkita said. “You don't need to work. I'm the one providing here.” Mai whipped her head around and gave him a cross look. Her husband quickly closed his mouth. She turned back to the mirror and put on the lipstick.

“Are you going to stop me?” Mai asked. The man stared at her for a few seconds before he closed his mouth. Mai giggled to herself as she closed up her lipstick. Suddenly, her phone rang.

“I got it!” she said. The woman dashed over to the phone and picked it up.

“Hello?” Mai asked. Her call didn't last long. Her eyes lit up as she smiled.

“When?” she asked. Nikkita looked confused as his wife went on happily chatting.

“Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh,” his wife kept saying. “Sure, I can be there now. I will see you soon.” Mai turned around as she hung up the phone. She turned to see Nikkita staring at her. She grinned as she held up her phone.

“I've been selected for a trial run at the Powder Dreams!” Mai said. She jumped up and down and twirled around. Nikkita forced himself to smile as he gave her a little clap.

“That's great, I guess,” he said. “When do you start?” His wife broke into a huge grin as she flashed two V-signs.

“Tonight,” she said. “Takako, Shasha, and Kirsa are going to be there too.”
