It is 8pm, Anna couldn’t remember the time she went to bed, could be 12:00pm? Or 11:00am??
She could not remember everything about last night…as usual…
Her job is staying at a night club, serving customers by drinking and hanging around with them, the more they drunk and consume in the club, the more she earned.
As a job it is fantastic at the beginning, it is like playing and hanging around and gets checks in the mailbox…
It is an easy way to get plenty of cash; you can have around HK$ 30,000 a month by drinking and laughing whole nights with somebody you don’t even know their names…
As she can see, many girls cannot change their position because the money come easily and go easier as a result. Some of them don’t have other job experience so it is impossible to find another job with the same payroll. They cannot go back to the office for the “hard money” and underpaid…
Unlike modeling and acting, HK$ 30,000 a month is not enough to make you retire at a young age like 40 or 45…
And the clubs won’t keep a mid-age women, once you are over you are fired…
That is a stupid job but many HK girls under 18 would risk and step in.
Why?
Anna was one of them…
She emigrated from Mainland China since she was fifteen, failed to get promotion to the high school and quit schooling the second year, that is her sixteen birthdays…
She walked in the club in Tsim Sha Tsui and found the HR manager in the club telling her she wants a job…
The manager said the girls working there must be at least 18…
So she gave her a card and told her to follow the address written on the card.
That is an upstairs club located in Mong Kok, she worked there until 18 and moved back to Tsim Sha Tsui, where there are more rich customers who are more gentle and polite in comparison.
This is the sixth year since the first day working, she has been renting a small apartment for six years, living alone, sometimes shared the bed with her boyfriends…
Most of her boyfriends were met in the club…
Of course, where else can it be, she get drunk almost every day, even holidays she spent time in a bar with her regulars...
Was it fun? Yes, at the beginning…
As time went by, she found it is like living without a soul.
She had plenty of "friends", but none of them talks to her, they are just playmates…
Well, that’s really pathetic…
Until last night, a boy called Andrew came to the night club with his friends, they were celebrating college graduation, they were students of a overseas college and travelling in HK….
(To be continued...)
