Chapter 2：2. Business Proposal (1/2)

”Hi, I hope you don't mind that I ordered for you. It's all on us of course, company expenses.” She showed off her pearly whites.

”So Adriana, I'm Lorraine. I don't think we've met. Now, I'm confused to what kind of business proposal that you intend to pitch me?” I sat in front of her drinking my champagne, still trying to figure out how she knew me. Was she one of my parent's friend?

”Yes Lorraine, no we haven't met before. I'm a member of the club. I'm what you called a headhunter for a job available. But I specialized in a different kind of field of expertise. I've heard about your situation. Please don't leave, just listen and think about it. You don't have to answer or even get back to me if you're not interested.”

I was about to get up, this sounded more and more shady. I didn't like where this conversation is going. Then she gave me her card, there was no company name, just her name Adriana and her mobile number. There wasn't even a last name. I drank more champagne, and try to stay as still as possible.

”Good. Thank you Lorraine. First of all, we are offering you a very exclusive contract. Our company handled the biggest named clients in the country. We are very proud with our listing.” She held my hand and look into my eyes. I was still confused to what she was offering, I think I know, but I just refused to believe my train of thoughts.

”We know about your situation. We could help you, as we could also profited from you. It's a win win, we have studied your background. As I say, we have the biggest named client. We don't let random people in. It's a very exclusive offer. We offered you to be our high paid escort. I assumed you know about sugar daddy? Well...I'm recruiting you to be our sugar baby.” I finally choke on my drink.

”What the hell? How could you? Why? What makes you think? Damn it? Is this a joke? Who put you up to this?....” I blurted out questions after questions. But she calmly rubbed the top of my hand and smile sincerely.

”Lorraine, I know it's a lot to take in. But I need you to think about it. I'm not waiting for a fast response. This lifestyle is not for everyone. But this is a very exclusive proposal. I assure you that no one will know. We are very discreet, because of our client's names. That's why we only recruited a handful of ladies in a year.” She paused to drink her champagne.

”Just sleep on it, for a couple of days, weeks up to you. I will be waiting, I hope you do join us. At some stage you will easily get your horse back. The money is very enticing. But I won't talk about that now, I will need your commitment first. I will need your open mind for this lifestyle. Take the card, call me when you have your answer.”

We talked some more, and finish our lunch. Then she left me at the bistro, I was still stunned about the proposal. My mind was on overdrive now.

I decided to go grocery shopping to clear my head. Since that was all I could afford right now. God! I'm so poor...

Damn it woman! You can do this, you're lucky you can afford groceries.

I was heading back to my apartment. Groceries on both of my hands, Phil noticed that I was buying groceries instead of Pradas and Diors, and I never order gourmet food anymore. He would give me the look sometimes.

”Hey Phil, no don't worry I got it.” But at the same time someone bumped into me and made all my groceries fall down. And that was it, he was yelling at me when the eggs falls and break on his Guccis.

”Damn it girl! I just got this. Now I have to get back and change. I'm running out of time. I can't be late. You've just cost me my time.”

Phil was on my side instantly. But I already had a breakdown far before the eggs fell on his shoes. Cause it also fell on my favorite pair of white Louboutin, and I know I could not afford to have it cleaned properly, let alone to replace it with a new one. My eyes watered instantly as I wiped it roughly.

He seemed to be stunned that he had made me cry.
