Chapter 70 The real world
Isabella had paid for the deluxe suite, thus, she got dinner.
She didn't get lunch or breakfast, so she was going to get it herself.
Isabella quickly brought out a nice dress as she intended to also tour the place as she went about to get something to eat.
“I need to get a job!”, Isabella said to herself as she closed her door and put the keys in her bag.
The amount of things she wanted to try out could only be done with money, and that was what she didn't have very much of.
Thus, she actually needed to get a job.
However, the first thing on her list was to get something to eat that morning and in the afternoon.
She went around for a while, going around and admiring the architecture, mentally marking the few vacancies she had seen.
She enjoyed her freedom, and she patted herself in the back by taking the bold step to flee from Luciano.
Isabella walked into a supermarket, going to get one or two things to eat as her stomach rumbled.
She at least needed to be energized before she could go ahead and start looking for jobs.
Going around the supermarket, Isabella put the things she needed in a basket.
Shopping suddenly became a joy of life as she didn't have to worry about answering to anybody.
Isabella stopped in her tracks as she saw a couple of buff men in suits walking past the shop.
She had seen them through the clear window, and her mind immediately thought of Luciano dispatching men to find her.
Her heart started beating faster as she thought of them actually looking for her.
That was fast, she thought as she looked at the things that she had put in her basket.
This is enough, Isabella thought as she quickly approached the cashier.
“Can I eat in here!”, Isabella asked as she didn't want to take the risk of sitting outside.
She didn't want to gamble with her new found freedom, this, she was going to do everything she possibly could to protect it.
“Yes, sure! There's a table and some chairs at the back!”, the cashier responded.
As Isabella ate, she finally began to wonder what was going on in the mansion.
He can't possibly be looking for me right?, Isabella thought.
She continued, He probably would, afterall I'm only a guarantee that he gets his money back.
I don't even know!
Papa hasn't even started paying back
I hope they are okay.
That's if he doesn't kill them first!”
It had been a long process coming to the conclusion which she finally did.
Not even the fear of Luciano hurting her family could make her go back.
He literally had done the worst to her.
She packed the wrappers of the snacks she'd munched on and threw them in the trash, ensuring to keep the space as clean as she had met it.
“Time to get a job!”, Isabella said before she snuck out of the supermarket.
She approached the first sign she had seen on her way to get something to eat.
It was a restaurant.
Isabella read the name of the restaurant aloud, “Il POSTO felice!”
She walked inside, seeing the activity of waiters going and coming to satisfy the customers.
It seemed like the theme of the restaurant was green and gold as Isabella saw the decor and waiters wearing the same color.
“Can I help you?!”, one of the waiters said as they approached her.
“Oh no!
I mean yes!
I saw the vacancy outside, so I wanted to apply!”, Isabella answered.
“Ohh welcome then! We really have been short staffed lately!
Go straight to the ordering table, the person there would direct you to the manager’s office!”, the kind lady said, a beautiful smile on her face as she pointed towards the ordering table.
“Thank you!”, Isabella acknowledged as she went towards the ordering table.
“Hi
Uhmm
The lady there…!”, Isabella said, pointing towards the lady who had ushered her there.
“What about her?!”, the man asked with a kind smile.
“She directed me here. I'm here because of the vacancy outside!”, Isabella simply explained.
“Ohhh!
Welcome!
You have to go to the manager's office then!”, The man replied.
“Where is that?!”, Isabella asked, looking around for any obvious signs.
“When you go down that corridor, you knock on the second door to your left!”, the man answered.
“Thank you!”
She grasped her bag tightly, feeling the snacks she had bought for later as she approached the manager’s office.
Knocking twice, Isabella heard a hoarse voice say “come in!”
Isabella opened the door to see a plump middle aged man sitting behind his desk, sipping gently on the cup of drink on his table as he typed away.
“Good day sir!, I'm here concerning the job sir. The vacancy outside!”, Isabella said as she stood by the open door.
“Ohh! Come on in then! Close the door behind you!”, The man said as Isabella turned to close the door.
He licked his lips rather seductively as he saw Isabella's back view.
