    And without further ado, Joyce woke up and made sure that she was getting to work as soon as possible. She made a point of getting everything ready and left the house before her dad woke up.
     
    Apart from getting a job and moving out of her father’s house, it seemed as though there was another thing that Joyce was having trouble with – finding the right man to be with. But at the moment, she knew that she had no other choice but to prioritize as much as possible. She knew that if she did everything accordingly, then the right man was going to come over and make her day without a doubt. but until then, she had to wait.
     
    And just like that, Joyce begun her day in high spirits. And that was how she landed a job at a club as a bartender.
     
     

 
     
    -The dilemmas-
     
     
     
     
    Viktor had to change his name to mike and assume a brand new identity, this was apart from shifting and starting over after a couple of years so that he couldn’t be detected. The fortune that he had amerced as an arms dealer almost five centuries had enabled him to become one of the most successful investors of the 21 st century, even making him make an entry in Forbes.
     
    In the end, especially after the incident that turned him into a vampire, mike had decided that he was never going to turn anyone into a vampire or even drain blood from a human being. He was a kind person and swore that even though he was dealing in weapons that ended up killing people in battle.
     
    Over the years, he opted to feed on animal blood but with time, he also begun having a conscience and begun getting blood from hospitals. Thankfully, there were plenty of vampires working in hospitals just for the sake of keeping a low profile and getting access to all of the blood that they needed in order to stay on top of their game as far as life was concerned. But there were still plenty of vampires who were killing without mercy all over the world. But thankfully, mike wasn’t one of them.
     
    He even went to the point of quitting his weapons business for the kings and barons and used his money to start companies during the industrial revolution a century back. And that explained why his fortune tripled over the decades to make him on of the richest men on the planet.
     
    But still he always liked to keep his profile very low to the point that people only knew his name but not his face. And that meant that he could easily maneuver from one place to another without anyone knowing what he was worth and capable of doing.

    At first, Joyce didn’t know that her luck was staring at her right in the face. She had been walking around the town for the better part of the day and since she couldn’t find a job, she decided that maybe a couple of drinks would do before going back home to her misery and a nagging dad.
     
    She immediately went into the club and ordered a whisky double on the rocks and as soon as it got there, she immediately gulped it all down and wiped her slips with the sleeve of her blouse. It didn’t take long for the owner of the bar to notice that she was in deep stress and so, in the name of being a good owner and bartender, he made sure that he had sparked up a conversation.
     
    “Ah, it’s just that I can’t get any work and my dad wants me out of the house.”
    “And what does your boyfriend say about it?”
     
    Joyce paused for a moment. That was another topic that she didn’t want to discuss about. But since the bartender was looking all friend and was doing it for her own sake, she felt as though it would be wise if she just kicked back and
