Chapter 2

I have a proposal, you will work as my second in command and be his mistress, you will get everything you want, a good life and you can even go back to school. You know opportunities like this are rare,as you know,you have to use what you have to get what you want. So baby girl be wise, you have a killer body and if I were you, I will grab this with all I've got..."she said and with that walked out.

  I knew miss Lauretta never did anything without a reason, she was not the type of person who offers charity for free but what she's asking of me, is very impossible. I will never sell my body for anything. I had decided and that was final. Even if it meant starving to death or roaming like a vagabond,homeless, I don't care.

      ****Fast forward****

       I gently cleaned the glass cups in my hands,the restaurant was crowded to the brim as usual. It was lunch time, and our restaurant was one of the most patronized place in town. 

       I dropped the glass down, I needed to take the order on table 6.

The person on the table seemed so engrossed in what ever he was doing. I had to cough to get his attention, he flinched in shock and before me sat one of the most handsome man I have ever seen,those butterflies began their crazy dance in my tummy. For the first time in my life, a man left me dazed,was this love at first sight???

  "You seem lost"his voice jerked me back to reality... 

    "hmm can I get your order"I said trying to sound confident, his voice sent me to planet zecury,I don't even know if it exists.

   "Two pot pies and one smoothie" he said back, with his eyes fixed on me. For the first time I saw genuine admiration and not the usual look of lust I was used to.

   "In a minute...sir" I walked to katty, the girl at the counter. "Two pot pies and one smoothie"I told her,she looked at me with disgust. She is always like that, she never liked me, she hates when attention is given to another person rather than her.

    She brought the order, which I collected and was about to go when she said 

   "Quit flirting with customers". I just walked out,she wasn't worth my time . I got close to him, when he turned and looked at me, I almost screamed"please stop staring".. I might spill these.

   "Here you go sir" I said after I had managed to serve him without spilling it.

   "Thanks pretty" I immediately blushed when he said that, I was used to being called pretty but him calling me that sent me going crazy.

   "And for the records, my name is Michael, what's yours?". I was about replying when Miss Lauretta called me.

"Shoot me" I mentally said.

One thing she hated was workers mingling with customers, it irritated her, the reason I can't fathom yet.

I hurriedly left,I felt his eyes following me, I got chills immediately..

Knowing why she called me I entered her office with fear.

"Have you thought about my proposal" she asked.

"Yes ma, and my decision is that I won't accept it, am sorry,am only asking for a week and I'll be out of here ma" I said tilting my head downwards.

"Ok, it's your choice, you'll get your salary in full, because I feel a little bit generous today. Now leave my office" she thundered.

I left feeling a bit grateful, when did she become this nice.
