Good head on his shoulders. Wants a career change that has nothing to do with the degree he got out of high school. He just broke up with his longtime girlfriend and was broken-hearted for a bit, but he’s better off without her. She flirted with me relentlessly whenever his back was turned, and so I set a little trap to see how serious she was and told Will to watch. He was pissed at me, but he listened and watched. She was serious about getting her hooks into me. And as a result, my brother saw her true colors.
Another thing I noticed about Violet tonight was that she didn’t flirt. And that was further proof she’s a good girl.
Guy Tremblay has worked for me for over a year, starting out in the kitchen quickly proving himself. He’s my head wagering concierge and he is a ladies’ man; loves to flirt. Since the beginning when I first put him on the floor, Guy does this thing where he flirts with a girl I have on my arm when I’m not watching and then reports to me later to tell me how she responded. Calls himself the royal taster. He says he can taste a girl’s intentions five minutes into knowing her.
The first time it happened I was not happy, watching what felt like him trying to move in on my date. I figured he was an idiot and I was ready to not only fire him but kick his teeth in for it, but he quickly spoke, seeing me coming for him in the alley outside the club that first night. He spoke fast, lucky for him. Guy told me he could see I was pissed but said he did it because he has my back – that a man like me who had looks and money has to be careful with women. Dudes with money and no looks, they know why they attract beautiful women. Men like me with looks, cash, and charisma can’t be too careful – it’s hard to know where women stand. He tells me that he’ll help me figure out who’s genuine. He joked that he’s way better looking than I am, so he’s doing me that favor since women can’t resist him, but if they do, I’ll know I’ve got a good girl on my arm. I laughed it off, not trusting him but impressed with his fast-talking so I decided not to beat the shit out of him, instead decided to watch and see.
I rolled my eyes a couple times when he told me that he got results with girls I had with me. Though I laughed it off, he’s been right a couple times in warning about gold diggers I’ve dated. Not long after we met, I started watching surveillance with him and the women I brought around. He definitely knows his way around wooing a lady and it was eye-opening to watch.
Whenever I bring a girl in, he turns the charm on and lets me know what vibes he gets. He slipped by me and shook his head tonight with a thumbs up. She didn’t flirt back. It didn’t dawn until a minute after he gave me the thumb that he figured she was with me.
Everyone at the club likely figured she was – I bring girls around regularly, though it’s been a few months since I’ve brought anyone around, and Alana, particularly, who has appointed herself my unofficial big sister, seemed to be looking Violet over with scrutiny.
With the Amber bullshit we had to deal with tonight, she said nothing to me about it. I’m expecting it to come up in conversation tomorrow at the Numbers opening. She quizzes me about any women she sees me with and doesn’t hesitate to give me her opinion on them. It’s rarely positive.
I liked how Violet treated Heidi. I put her on Violet’s table intentionally to see how it’d go, knowing Heidi would fuck up and interested to see what Violet would do. The way people treat wait staff is very telling on their personality, in my experience.
Heidi kept screwing up orders as a server at another of my clubs, so we brought her in for some retraining as a last-ditch effort. She bumbles whenever I’m around with her little crush. As shitty of a server as she is, I’m sure my presence tonight made her worse. I’ll call Alana tomorrow and suggest she offer Heidi an office job. If that doesn’t work out, she’s done.
Done like Amber, who I canned tonight for theft. She’s lucky I didn’t have her arrested. This was her second chance, and she blew it. I suspect she’s got an escalating drug habit. I asked her flat out and offered her rehab help. She denied it.
Tony told me he saw who dropped her off to work tonight and the guy’s a known thug and local small-time drug dealer.
