Chapter Five: "You look like a maid!"

"Thank you, sir" Chloe received the huge sum of money from Travis and returned to Catherine's position and Catherine quickly left her stand, adjusting her trousers as she moved away.

She grabs her bag and follows him behind. When they got to the spot where the car was parked, Catherine could not help but see herself as a fictional character.

"This is not real, damn!!" She said in her head and smiling in her heart and it almost exposed in her face.

The vehicle she saw there was a Porsche and when Travis got closer to the vehicle, someone came out of the driver's seat and opened the door for Travis to get in.

"Wow, wake me from my dream please Natasha," She said under her breath.

"Open the door for her" Travis commanded in an iced tone.

The man opened the door and she got into it but a greater fear enveloped her to see the bulky man who came up earlier in the passenger seat she was to stay at. 

"What if there were organ harvesters?" She asked herself.

"Oh God, help me, please… I just wanna survive" She did the rosary sign and saw Travis looking at her through the mirror in the car and she averted her eyes immediately.

As they drove, her heart thumped for safety and fear, one part of her had already started regretting why she followed him because the drive seemed like a long drive.

Soon they entered a bending corner, her heart palpitated like the speed of light and she prayed it was not a conspiracy from Chloe because of how she accepted the money quickly without a word.

She had always had a distrust towards Chloe and never flowed with her. It was evident to Catherine that Chloe never really liked her either. 

"Jesus… " Catherine prayed in her heart and saw that Travis was still stealing glances at her in the mirror.

The car drifted into another bending again and soon they halted at a point in the middle of nowhere. 

Catherine almost urinated in her panties, she turned around and looked around but the street was dry.

" What's your name lady?" Travis turned his neck to the back as he asked her and watched her freak.

"Catherine" She stuttered avoiding eye contact with him.

"You look scared, and it's pretty funny." He said and tapped the driver "Let's go shopping for her" 

"Yes, sir" The driver kicks started the engine and rewinds to go to the boutique store they had just passed.

Soon, they arrived there and Travis stepped out with Catherine. As they got into the clothes store Catherine cleaned her eyes with her handkerchief.

This was one of the most expensive boutiques in town and there she was with an unknown man.

"Take my card, pick really nice clothes wear them, and show them to me. I'd pick too" He handed his card over to her without looking up at her.

Catherine took the card from his hand and proceeded to shop with him. She couldn't help but admire all the nice clothes and their price tags.

The price tags on the clothes could feed her family for a year.

She picked out a yellow dress from the rail, spun it around, and placed it on her body.

"Put the cloth on let me see how it looks on you," He said and she quickly rushed into the dressing room and changed up into the dress.

She came out to show it to him, "Too long and not sexy enough! You look like a maid!!" He remarked.

"Okay, oh God!!" She muttered hurriedly trying on another dress. A red blue dress.

She showed the cloth to him and he gave a disapproving look and with disgust, he said with irritation in his tone " Oh my Goodness don't you have a fashion sense?"

"Oops," She said silently and picked another dress from the rail again. She wore it and he gave her a wild look that was mixed with anger.

"Damn, do we check another store or I pick a dress for you?" With scorn, he goes to the other side of the dress rack and picks up two red dresses that have elements of lingerie in them.

He handed them over to her to change into them and when she came out he commented "Now this is it. This is what I want and how I want you to look, not like some maid." 

Catherine did not know if to take his comment as a compliment or not. 

"Spin around let me see you" He commanded and shyness enveloped her and she slowly spun watching him smile.

"Okay, pick any other clothes you want. I do not have any choice again but as for this particular one, you are wearing it to visit my parents."

Catherine grabbed a few clothes and finally some shoes before they left the store.

As they got into the vehicle, Travis ordered "Now stop by the nearest expensive hair store or spa anyone you see." 

Turning to Catherine, he remarked" You have to look pretty good. I do not want to complain from my momma. Even though I do not really care about it"

At that point, Catherine was speechless and did not know what to reply so she gave a faint smile at him.

Just then, Catherine's phone pings and she looks up at it. It was a message notification from her sister and it read " SISTER, CAN YOU SPARE ME SOME BUCKS RIGHT NOW?

 I AM IN SERIOUS NEED OF MONEY NOW FOR SCHOOL STUFF" Catherine sighed and responded "I DO NOT HAVE MUCH, JUST TEN BUCKS ON ME"

"PLEASE CAN YOU SEND IT?" Natasha asked and without hesitation, Catherine credits her account immediately.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH" Natasha replied and Catherine felt satisfied. She loved making her sister happy in any possible way.

 The car door slammed and Catherine looked at it and sees that they had just arrived at the hair salon.

All these gestures and she has not yet signed a contract? How would she treated if she signs a contract?
