Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 410 All About the Money

After Sadie's brisk departure, she was relieved Waters didn't follow and caught her breath. She had learned her lessons after so many incidents and was now more cautious and guarded. In the past, Micah would have been on hand for protection, but now she was on her own and had to learn to protect herself.

"Sadie!" Serena's anxious voice reached her. "I've been looking everywhere! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Touched by her concern, Sadie said, "Thanks, Serena."

"What for? We're good friends, after all. Last time, you saved me." Serena chuckled. "Come on, let's get you to work. You haven't made any sales tonight, we can't have that." "Yeah," Sadie agreed and joined Serena for work.

Aside from the earlier unpleasant encounter, the rest of the night in the other booths went smoothly. While Sadie's striking figure still drew some men's gazes, they limited themselves to some verbal teasing and didn't bother her further since they had already ordered companions.

The night passed without incident, and Sadie finally racked up a few sales. Excited, she asked Rose about her commission, and Rose told her it was just over $300.

Sadie was dumbfounded. Why did Serena make over $4,000 in commission from her sales when hers was so little?

Rose explained that the tables Serena worked sold expensive foreign liquors with high profits, hence the hefty commissions. Sadie's tables ordered standard drinks with lower profits and, therefore, lower commissions. Feeling a bit dejected, Sadie realized that money wasn't easy to come by.

Serena's clientele, such as Waters, who had a penchant for fine liquor, were rare. Most patrons came here for the company of women, with drinks merely serving to enhance the ambiance they hardly ever ordered the expensive stuff. Opportunities to earn tens of thousands in one night were not common.

Serena consoled her not to lose heart and keep striving in the future.

That night, Sadie didn't clock out until four in the morning. She and Serena tallied up the night's earnings, with Serena racking up a whopping $5,000, including tips and commissions.

Meanwhile, Sadie had made a mere $700!

She reassured herself that it wasn't too bad for her first day on the job. Seven hundred dollars was a decent start, and she was determined to keep pushing forward.

For the following days, Sadie worked from seven in the evening until four in the morning. Although the seven-hour night shift turned her days and nights upside down and was exhausting, the money was substantial.

In just a week, she had saved $30,000. Adding a little to her initial savings, she paid $50,000 dollars for medical bills at the Heartfelt Hospital and decided to pay off the rest later.

During this time, she hadn't seen Dahlia, who reportedly had been dispatched to care for Amelia.

Sadie felt a pang in her heart; Dahlia used to be almost exclusively at her service, and now everything had changed...

With a bittersweet smile, she hailed a cab to the nightclub.

All she wanted now was to earn enough to pay for Brenda's medical bills. Once that was achieved, she planned to leave the nightclub behind and replace a legitimate job.

On this particular night, Serena showed up an hour late.

Noticing her red eyes and somber mood, Sadie asked with urgency, "Serena, what happened?"

"My mom's condition has worsened again," Serena wept. "I've been earning as much as I can to afford her treatment. It looked like she was improving, but now suddenly..."

"No wonder you work so hard..." Sadie felt a surge of empathy. "Don't panic. Tell me what's wrong with your mom. I have a friend who's an exceptional doctor; maybe she can help." "Four years ago, my mom fell from an upper floor and has been in a vegetative state ever since..." Serena explained briefly. "She's been in the hospital all this time..."

"You've really had it tough," Sadie embraced her. "Before work tomorrow, I'll accompany you to the hospital to see your mom and see if I can do anything to help." "Thank you." Serena wiped away her tears. "Let's go to work. We need to make more money."

"Mhm."
