2. In a Room with a Stranger Man

The beautiful woman waited for Alice to answer her question. Actually, Alice didn't know what to say. She applied for a job here because he was really desperate. Her high school diploma is useless.

"Why are you silent?" The intimidating-eyed man asked. His voice was hoarse but soft. Maybe it was made soft so Alice was comfortable during the interview. "Don't you want to work here? If you can't answer questions, it's better not to apply for a job here. The man snatched Alice's CV, held by the beautiful woman beside him. He looked at Alice's CV, but also mocked her simultaneously.

"You're a high school graduate? How dare you enroll in the Victoria Company? Do you think my company ...."

Alice just stood there after being hit by those harsh words. She knew Alice shouldn't have come to this interview. A company of this size will not accept employees with only a high school education.

"I know, Sir. You don't have to say that. Honestly, I know I shouldn't have applied for a job here. I know I'm only a high school graduate, and there's no way to compete with those undergraduates. I can't answer your question because I'm so nervous. I can't believe I can pass for an interview at this company. Sorry," said Alice.

Alice, who felt very embarrassed, immediately left the room. The girl really felt humiliated. The man could say nice things to her. There is no need to mock her education which is only high school.

The man sighed as Alice exited the room in tears. He didn't look the least bit guilty.

"Next!" said the man.

"Victor!" The beautiful woman immediately turned to the cold man. "At least let her introduce herself. You're too stiff!"

"She's wasting my time," said the man named Victor.

****

Alice was drinking in a nightclub by herself. She was drunk because she was really frustrated with his life. To be honest, Alice never drank. She used to come to the club because she just hung out with his friends.

"Hey, Miss. You're drunk. You should just go home." Otherwise, the boys will harass me. An employee at this club warned Alice. The girl was so drunk it was impossible to continue drinking.

"Why?" snapped Alice. "You want to look down on me too? Do you think I can't too? I can spend all this!" Alice pointed at the water bottle on the table.

"You are crazy!" The club employee called the security guard. He wanted Alice to get out of the club before she couldn't get up. "Drag this woman out!"

A man with a large and sinister body approached Alice. He pulled the girl's body. "Miss, let's go out!"

Alice rebelled. She was drunk and didn't know what he was doing. Perhaps she would have been very embarrassed if she had come to her senses.

"Get your hands off me!" cried Alice. The girl tried to rebel, but the security guard took Alice out of the club anyway.

As a result, Alice was dragged to the side of the road. "Don't come back again, Bitch!" shouted the man.

Alice fell down on the street. She was still drunk and unconscious. Her eyes were dizzy with dizziness. The girl couldn't get up. She felt everything spinning.

***

Alice opened her eyes, and her head was very, very dizzy. She saw herself in a huge hotel room. The girl did not know that she had entered this hotel.

"Where am I?" murmured Alice.

The twenty-one-year-old girl tried to get up, but her head really hurt. She turned to the side and was very surprised to find a man sitting on the bed reading a book.

"Are you awake?" asked the man, who seemed familiar to Alice.

Alice was still under alcohol, so consciousness had not returned. She looked at her own body and was surprised that she was not wearing any clothes.

"Where are my clothes?" Alice asked frantically.

"You forgot?" said the man. He approached Alice, and instantly, Alice realized that the man was a cold man who had looked down on her during an interview at the Victoria Company. Victor George.

Alice was utterly shocked. It's her first time drinking alcohol, and now she's in a hotel room with a guy? It's a very ironic thing.

"You did the wrong thing, Miss," said Victor.

The cold man took off his clothes. Alice widened her eyes at seeing a sight she shouldn't have seen. Victor's body is powerful but also white. The white is so pale that it doesn't seem like it's flowing with fresh blood.

"W-what do you want?" she asked.

The man didn't answer. He was getting closer to Alice. It got closer until it touched Alice's chin.

"S-Sir?" Alice was terrified.

"You told me you'd do anything if I got you to work for my company before you passed out. Now I want to charge you. I'll do something nice with you. Then you can work for my company," said Victor.

"W-what? When did I say like that? I don't even remember saying it?"

Alice was getting scared because Victor sniffed around Alice's neck. Alice really had no recollection of having said anything to Victor. She recalled she was drinking and crying at the club. How could she now be in the same room as Victor?

"W-wait. You can't do this. We have to clarify everything. Do you want to have sex with me?" Alice said. She was sure she couldn't promise such a thing to a man. Alice had never even had sex with Daniel, her lover.

Victor looked at Alice with a threatening look. That gaze really intimidated Alice. From the start, Alice could not see Victor's eyes were so scary.

"Why? Have you changed your mind? I already paid for your drink at the club. You were drunk and didn't pay for the alcohol you ordered. And then you asked me to let you work at my company with your only high school diploma. You think it's all free?" said Victor. He smirked. "You should at least know how to be grateful."

"B-but…" Alice tried to remember if she had ever said that. She closed her eyes. She had to know what was really going on.

And it's true. The memory of Alice being drunk and whining on the side of the road flashed through her mind, but Alice didn't see Victor.

"You're not beside me!" said Alice curtly. "How did you know?"
