People does hardworking, tiring and stressful workloads everyday while Ethel just need to sway her hips and she'll earn money. She is an entertainer, she has the confidence to dance naked publicly because she convinced herself that if she won't work today, they'll starve tomorrow. Everything about her life was repetitive until he met Terrius, the rich man who wants her for himself.
View MoreHis colleagues stormed inside the room, didn't even stop after leaving the elevator. They didn't even pause to greet Terrius!I mean, for sure, that's not a big deal but at least if ever they did I'll have a minute free to think of a good place to hide.Not like this! I'm hiding under a freaking office desk! Should I even be thankful for the fact that his table has no compartment other than the second layer underneath? It somehow felt like this place is made for me to hide here in this specific moment, specific time, day of this year.Funny, right? So funny that I want to laugh right now, note the sarcasm, please.Then, I remembered how Terrius and I looked earlier. I mean, his clothes. He's only wearing a long tee, sports pants, and freaking spiked rubber shoes for Pete's sake! If I'm one of his employees, I'll call him an irresponsible boss.I mean, I understand that this meeting is urgent that he didn't have much ti
The ambiance is not so ideal for a 'date' because we are surrounded by mirrors and leather aside from the dark brown, almost black, wooden appliances.Terrius didn't seem to think of it as a problem and to be honest? Neither do I.If this setup is not ideal for you, then how will you call a cheap date with street foods and soft drinks? A trashy setup? God!People need to update their mindset too, not only the social media they have downloaded on their phones.The date is a date and there is no right ambiance nor perfect timing to do one. I'm not saying that this lunch I'm having with Terrius is a date but the point I'm making is about dates.Yeah, hope you understood what I meant.Even if you call a simple meeting or an extravagant meeting in a fancy five Michelin star restaurant, If your partner calls it a 'friendly and not so important dinner' none of the ambiances will matter.It'll still depend on how your 'date' will be perceived
My head almost fell and that's when I regained my consciousness.When I opened my eyes, I was shocked to see Terrius, still at his desk and there's no food yet. What's happening here?"What's wrong?" he asked when his eyes laid on me.That's when I realized that he is still signing paperwork while waiting for the food he ordered. While I, I had a dream!I lost consciousness! I felt poisoned and I was, like literally, dying then the reality slapped me. I was having a nightmare, clearly a nightmare!He sat beside me, which by the way, I failed to notice. I saw that he left his desk for a moment to sit here beside me right now.Then I realized, I looked horrified earlier. I can feel thick sweat dripping from my forehead and Terrius seemed to notice it too because he wiped my awe at using a handkerchief that he pulled from his pocket. Maybe because he's disgusted with my sweat? I don't know."Are you okay?" he asked.He's seriously
I didn't mind what he said and tried to pay attention to my fries instead.What's the big deal with burgers anyway? Is Terrius that selfish to his employees that he thought he's not the man who's capable of letting me eat his food?Understandable though, maybe if I have this favorite food, or if only I have the chance to be possessive of my own food, I'll do so.I mean, seeing how he acted with me, he's always gentle and generous. He's kind to me that he even shared or let me eat his, I presume, favorite food, based on how shocked Shawn reacted to seeing me chew two pieces of it."Would you like some?"It would be rude of me to not ask him to join me. It would be very offending for him if I was him if I dare to eat alone here and let him watch me get my stomach full.But then I realized he's not me. He shook his head sideways before responding to me in a very polite way, "I'm good. By the way, what's your name?" he asked.Well, it's b
He didn't touch any of the food and that made me a bit sad. I don't like eating alone.Even though I'm not close to my mother at home, Miya always loved to eat together with me. So, that it won't feel dull and colorless whenever we guys eat.So, this setup is quite new to me. I shook my head sideways, I shouldn't be choosy anymore. He gave me proper and more than proper food. None of these are his obligations to me but he still did these because he's such a gentlemanly guy.I remembered reading books and watching movies about women wanting bad guys and possessive men so much. I don't know what's gotten into them. I don't know if they finally became that dumb or what but I never preferred cool men.They always tend to be proud and high of themselves. Most of them are self-centered and that's not one of the things I'd want to think about after getting married to one.I breathed a sigh."Not in a good mood?"My attention was snatched by
"So..." Terrius roamed his eyes to the options we had in our faces. "Which one would you like to have?"Well, there are fries, chicken, chicken filet, smoothie, and rice. Also, I forgot to notice the burgers we have.Honestly? if only I can eat all of this at once, I'll choose to eat them altogether immediately. Like, as in, now!On the contrary, I can't. I'm not rich and I so can not afford even the cheapest meal in fast food but I'm not that energetic in eating.Yes, I can savor the taste in my mouth but Nah. I can't guarantee that I'll finish all of them at once.I won't hesitate about my sister, Miya, getting involved in that type of art. She can eat so much without having her belly bulky. It's like one of her special traits as a person.Being fair and all doesn't reflect how I live. Most girls who live with the same physical description as mine wants always to be sexy and poised. I'd love to experience that, it's just that, it's impossi
My brain took so much time to digest what he said to me. It was shocking, yes, and what got me irritated is how he laughed after telling me those breathtaking dialogues.He laughed as if he didn't mean anything he said, or maybe because he finds what he told me preposterous. Which, even though I don't want to admit it, is true. Hays! Overthinker.I should just slip all these thoughts away because tomorrow, I'll be back to my normal life. Normies, dancing, not for fun, but money. Either way, I'm not ashamed of my job.People around the globe steal, do drugs and do other illegal and immoral things that people shouldn't do. Who cares? They do it for the sake of money. While me? I go dance and sell my dignity along with my seductive and alluring steps.I'm not harming anybody. I don't think people around me should mind what I'm doing if all they can see is the negative part of this job. I don't want to think fool of myself.After all, if no one's going

His secretary went in, bearing fast-food take-outs in his arms.The edible and mouth-watering aroma of the food he brought circulated in the room that is locked by the air that the conditioner is managing. It makes me drool, and that's not it.The Secretary smiled at me, I don't know but that smile that he gave to me was like an invitation for me to jump on the pack he is bringing along his arms. Although, the only thing that is holding me captive from doing so is the thought of Terrius getting mad at me for being so self-centered thinking that the food he ordered was for me.Though, as a matter of fact, I'd want to think of the situation that way. It's just that, it's not how things should be. I'm here in his corporation because he is gentleman enough to make me his guest when the actual truth is that I'm his, I hate to say this but, slut that he picked up from a cheap place.Still a riddle to me. Why did he waste his time looking or fetching me to my pl
"Ethel, we need to pay for our monthly rent for this week. Do you think we can pay then?"This is what my 'good morning' greeting from my mother is. Though, I don't think I can change the way she treats me anymore. The moment she discovered my job, it felt like she lost all the respect she had for me. For me, it's quite understandable. I'm a harlot, what could I do?On the contrary, I never wanted this job. Of course, who in the world would want to sell her dignity for a thousand peso or less? Well yes, it's not like I'm selling sex to men but I'm selling every part of my body by showing it publicly while dancing naked under the neon lights.I wanted to graduate from my dream university. I wanted to work a decent and good-paying job instead of what I have right now, but I just can't. I couldn't even afford a decent and enough food for dinner, what more a tuition fee for college that costs around a hundred thousand pesos or even more?
