The Second Date!

Michelle barged into the room. Francis sprung up from the bed, hearing the door fling wide open.

He thought the country was under attack.

"Why did you..."

"What did you just put me into? Did you agree to this after reading the code of conduct?" She asked, interrupting him.

Francis saw it was because of the app. He hissed and leaned back on the bed.

"It's not that difficult, you know? All they need to avoid is getting intimate with you. If they do, you report them and the contract is off" he said.

"But I have to go out with them till the contract is broken. Does that make sense?" She asked, in a teary voice.

"Michelle! Think for once! This is not about you. It's for the wellbeing of our kids. If you don't want to do it for me, do it for them. Do you want them to grow up in this shit hole of a house? Please, Michelle" he tried to brainwash her.

Michelle couldn't help but agree to what he said. He had a point. She can't go back to her parents, this is the fastest way to make money. She even thought of the one she made yesterday.

There's no way she could get that money if she work for ten years in all of her part time. She sighed deeply and lowered her head.

"Fine, I'll do it. But, it's for Chloe and Kelly" she said, raising the head.

Francis took her hand.

"Thank you" he said.

"I need to go to the restaurant. I'll quit my other jobs, except this one"

"Sure, anything you want" he replied.

She turned and left the house, heading to the restaurant.

.

Even at the restaurant, she wasn't herself. She kept thinking about how she ended up like this. Sometimes, she wish to go to her parents and ask for forgiveness but, she can't abandon her girls. They were already part of her.

"Hey, are you thinking?" Her colleague asked her. She snapped back to reality.

"No, I'm not" she said and walked away. The lady stared at her, wearing a smile on her face.

.

Trevor walked out of his shower, drying his hair with a towel. His assistant, Kevin was there.

"Any information about Rose?" He asked.

"Yes sir. She has four part time job. She walk dogs, clean at a small company, hand fliers and works in a restaurant" he said.

"I see. Four different jobs. She must need money urgently" Trevor said.

"She also lives with a young man, he has two kids. She must be the nanny" Kevin said.

"Nanny. That's five different jobs. I should see her again" he said, smiling.

"How?" Kevin asked.

There was silence in the room till they heard a knock on the door.

Trevor sat on the bed, hanging his towel on his shoulder. Kevin opened the door and saw the head maid.

"A man brought this" she said.

"Thank you" Kevin said and closed the door. He took it inside the room.

"What's that?" Trevor asked, wearing a questioning look.

Kevin peeped inside and saw that it was Michelle's dress from yesterday.

"It's Rose's dress. I'll trash it" he said and turned to leave.

"No!" Trevor said. He stood up and took the bag.

"I'll take it to her" he said.

"Huh?" Kevin asked.

He hasn't seen Trevor interested in any lady before. He knew this one was special.

"But..."

"There's no but. Hurry!"

"I'll get the car ready" he said.

Trevor nodded. He took the towel off his shoulder and rushed into the closet to get ready.

All his life in business school, he had no interest in girl till the day he opened the meet up app.

The first person he saw, was Michelle. Immediately he set his eyes on the picture, he fell in love with her at that moment.

He even said to himself.

"I'm going to make her mine"

.

Few hours later, Michelle was done at the restaurant. She changed into her normal mufti as she collected her salary from the other employee.

"Thanks" she said, peeping inside the envelope.

"You know, you've been here for two months already Michelle" the lady said.

"Really? I wasn't keeping time" Michelle replied, with a dead voice.

"Let's celebrate. You and me. There's a new bar down the street. We could just..."

"Hey, I'm sorry. I'm not a bar person. Besides, I can't hang out with you. You're the oldest employee here and the second in charge. It's like I'm going out with my boss"

The lady smirked and leaned back on the counter.

"You don't know my name, do you?" She asked. Michelle bit her lower lips.

"I have to go. I'm sorry" she said, wanting to leave. The lady grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

"I'm Rose, hmm? Don't worry, I won't intrude your private life" she said. Michelle chuckled nervously. She rubbed the entrance of her nose and was about to leave when she heard the doorbell rang.

"We're closed for the day!" Rose said.

"Ah, there you are. I came to see you Ro..."

"Hi Trevor!" Michelle swiftly interrupted him not to call that name.

Rose.

Rose shot her eyes wide open.

"Are you Trevor Stonefield?" She asked.

Trevor smiled and took Michelle's hand.

"Bye" he waved at Rose and pulled Michelle out.

They got into the car and drove off. Michelle had no idea why she entered his car. She just made it look like she was dating him for real.

"How do you know where I work?" She asked.

"I did a little background on you, if you don't mind" he replied.

"You're unbelievable. Stop the car!" Michelle said, wanting to leave.

"I just wanted to give you this and book you for another date" he said.

Michelle shot her mouth wide open. She thought she won't see him again and here he is, sitting close to her. She wished to break the contract soon.

He did a little digging on her. She was glad that he didn't find more information than that. Especially the fact that she's Will's daughter.

She took the bag and the car stopped in front of her house. She wanted to alight but, Trevor grabbed her hand.

"Hands off!" She yelled, pushing him away.

"About the date, it's with my parent. They want to meet you. If you don't want to do this, at least, do it for them. I want to see them happy"

"Do you think that happiness will remain when they find out you just rented me for a show?" She asked.

"I'll handle that when that happens. For now, do this for me" he said. She sniffed in.

"Fine. Text me the date" she said and finally got out of the car. Trevor watched her leave. His assistant turned to stare at him.

"Did your parents asked to see her?" He asked.

"That's my excuse. I'll do anything to see her again. Prepare the date for tomorrow evening"

"Yes boss" he said.
