Chapter 10

She asked me to go home and think about it. I got out of her car. I walked straight to the bus stop.Sam and I decided to meet there. We got home and I asked him if I could speak to him.“Sam, over these past days I have wanted to talk to you about so many things. You know the manager of our restaurant,she is dating the popular model,Lady May.”,I said.I could see the shock on his face.I knew Sam wasn’t the type fascinated with trends such as football or fashion.But he definitely knew Lady May.“Wow,the whole Lady May,the popular model?The sexiest and hottest woman in Eston?You got to be joking!”,he exclaimed.I knew he was shocked.He thought our manager was a random guy.Our manager was the last born to out of the richest couple in Eston.They owned many properties. I then asked him to google it so that he can verify the news I was telling him.He did that and lo and behold ,it was true.“ Right after my interview, my manager asked me to step out. That was the first I saw this lady. I cannot deny the fact that she was very pretty. She smelled me and complimented me. She asked for my name and I answered she knocked on the door and entered.After several minutes of waiting outside, I was called inside. I saw her on the balcony. My manager gave me my employee letter, and I asked for permission to excuse them. After my introduction to the workplace,its facilities and my colleagues. I was being lectured about our rules,manager and his girlfriend. I heard his relationship or moment as he had with her girlfriend determined his mood. Fast forward two days ago, there were so many customers. I was less busy and asked to come help them. I went to get a tray to help them serve the customers faster.I worked swiftly. On my way to serve a customer,I slipped and mistakenly poured a drink on a lady. she asked, I could buy her the same dress, which was very expensive or else she would call the police. Our manager wasn’t around. After several minutes of begging and the lady insulting me, Lady May entered and saw the whole scenario.She decided to pay for me as a helper she was.I thanked her and many of my coworkers and other customers praised her.Today she asked a guy to bring me a note and on it , I was asked to see her.I did that.During our meeting she proposed love to me and asked me to be her sugar boy or else I should pay her all her money.”,I told Sam.“But of all the people in Eston you?Or is it a set up?”,Sam asked.Sam looked at me and saw I was helpless.He advise ,I should never go to see her only.He then decided to give me his phone so I could record our conversations and exposed him to our manager.I agreed with him because it was a perfect plan.

The next day at work,I was called to meet her at our office,I turned on the recording and all our conversation was being recorded.I didn't want to send it straight to our manager so I had a perfect plan.I knew our manager wouldn't believe me and he might even fire me so I decided to take it slowly.I went and she started with a nice gesture and facial expression. She asked if I had thought of her proposal to me.I was still adamant and expressed it for to see,I meant business.I was not ready to risked my life for anything not even for a sexual gratification I didn’t want.She looked at me and said ,“This is a favor of a lifetime.Nobody has ever done this with me not even your boss!I have never had a boyfriend and this was supposed to be a love affair with you.Let us not drag this far.My ego is bruised but then I apologize for everything.All this was a mistake and it will never happen again. ” I was so happy she had apologized.My still said it was a setup and not a serious thing.“A lady who can make a man set up and apology party,what else couldn’t she do?”,I questioned myself. But then wait,she said she had never had a boyfriend before.What about my boss,our manager.I still thought she was tricking me again.After I got to the employee area,I wanted to play our conversation again then delete it because our differences were settled now.I then realized the thing wasn’t recording.“What if an important thing was said which could have redeemed me?What if she didn’t change her mind and still pursued me?”,I asked myself.I thanked my stars and went on with my duties.

Several days passed and one day at work,I was asked to deliver some items at our manager’s office.I was almost there when I could hear people in heated conversation in his office.The door was not locked properly so you could see them.They were my manager,Lady May and one man.“She has to marry me,I can’t lose my birthright and my share of properties to anyone.After all these years of pretending to be your boyfriend so you get the fame and contract,you want to dump me?It would never happen!”,the manager said.I was shocked to the core.“All this is called showbiz.It is a business which helped both of us in so many ways.It helped you to gain customers and more.Even with this,our breakup news will travel faster and also create a new narrative.There are so many pretty girls in Eston ready to for marriage.You know getting married at this age would affect my career.Besides,we agreed that it purely business and there was no reason for you to get annoyed.I didn’t force you to love me.”,Lady May said.My jaw dropped.Did I just hear them properly? Wonders they say shall never end.I retreated my way slowly to the waiting area.After minutes of standing there,the man got out of the room. I wanted Lady May to also step out so I could deliver the items.She got and this he saw me and looked away without any word or anything.I went and knocked on the door,I was asked to enter.“What are you doing here?Drop it and leave!”,my boss shouted.I left immediately,you could see he was angry and sad.I felt bad for him and understood him.
