Chapter 859: Kim Cheong-Gi (1)
Having paid off the bouncers at the entrance of Club JJ, I looked for the waiter as soon as I came down.
A waiter around 170cm tall with bright and eager eyes came straight toward me. The moment he saw me, he rubbed his hands together and grinned.
"You were looking for me, sir?"
I nodded. "I'm here on orders from Mr. Choi. I was told Mr. Kim Cheong-Gi is in Room 3."
The waiter glanced around, then grabbed my arm and led me toward VIP Room 1.
"This way, sir." He swung the door open without hesitation. "Please, go in."
I stepped quickly into Room 1 and he followed behind, closing the door.
"I can't let it get out that I'm working with Mr. Choi Go-Yoon," he said.
"Ah, understood. I'll be careful too. Then could you tell me what's going on in Room 3?"
The waiter gave another shy smile as he spoke. "Come on, why are you being so formal with someone like me? Just talk casually. You can call me Lackey or whatever."
Despite rubbing his hands together like a kid, Lackey had a baby face. But before coming here, Choi Go-Yoon had told me the guy was actually thirty. So I didn't let my guard down.
Back when I worked as a waiter, I called everyone sir or boss no matter what, but I hadn't exactly enjoyed it. Perhaps it might have been different if I didn't know, but now that I knew his age, I couldn't treat someone older than me so casually like that.
