Chapter Four

Brianna went to the bar earlier than usual. Her heart won’t stop beating fast as reality begins to sink into her brain. She's going to be sleeping with a client tonight in exchange for a hefty amount of cash. 

A part of her does not regret it, since it’s for her mother’s treatment, but there was this part of her that doesn’t want to accept that reality. 

She might be dancing naked in front of those men, but selling her body was a different story. She has dreams and hopes to achieve them some day, and she knows she will. 

“Okay, let’s do this.” She ran her fingers through her hair before she knocked on Zendy’s office. 

She heard her muffled voice and she opened the door. 

“Darling, how are you feeling?” Zendy greeted her when she entered her office.

Brianna forced herself to smile at her. “I’m a little bit nervous, but totally fine,” she admitted. 

Zendy tapped her shoulders and gave her a tight smile. “You’ll be fine, Bri. Come, I’ll give you some heads up about this client of ours.” She even winked at her before ushering her inside the office. 

Brianna let out a nervous sigh. She expected Mr. Smith to be her first client. That man has been bugging Zendy ever since she started working at Valkyrie. 

“So, your client is a bit famous. He had some instructions in here.” Zendy handed her an envelope. 

Inside was the do’s and don’ts that she must do while performing. 

Brianna read it all and she couldn't help but gasp at the ideas written in the two-page paper. 

“What is this? Are you serious?” Brianna looked at Zendy with disbelief written in her face. “I thought it was Mr. Smith?”

The beautiful manager let out a sigh, “No, darling. Our client was determined to have you and paid a huge amount of cash just so he can secure his spot.” 

“Who is he? You said he’s famous…” Brianna’s mind was filled with images as she imagined herself with this man. 

What will happen to her? 

Earlier she’s just nervous, now she’s freaking terrified. 

“Don’t worry about him, darling. He won’t hurt you. He valued his reputation so much to do things that might compromise his career.” Zendy’s assurance did nothing to calm her raging heart. 

But Brianna doesn’t really have any choice but to accept it, the client had already paid and she already got half of the payment for her mother’s treatment. 

She stood and smiled at Zendy. “I’ll get going now, I still have to prepare.” She raised the folder, indicating that she needs to do all the stuff that was written in there. 

Zendy stood and guided her to the door. “Good luck, Bri. I promise, you won’t regret this one.” There was something in her voice, but Brianna dismissed that.

Brianna went to the VIP room to get herself ready. It’s already six in the evening and the client will be there at eight in the evening. 

It was her first time to be inside the VIP room ever since she started working in Valkyrie. The room was huge and the scent was sweet. In the middle of the room was a huge bed with heart-shaped pillows stacked on the center. 

There was a love couch on the other side of the room. Her whole face blushed as she remembered one of the instructions of her client. 

She walked toward the closet and her mouth gaped open when she saw all the scandalous pieces of clothing that hung in there. 

She picked one, a scandalous red, mesh bikini.

“And I am going to wear this while having sex with this man?” 

Though she’s used to exposing her body to the bar’s clients, she is still new to actual sex. She had made out with some men she knew but she never really had sex with them, so she’s still considered a virgin. 

Feeling so hopeless and nervous at the same time, Bri began to prepare for her big night. 

As she looked at herself in the mirror, she realized her face had aged fast. Maybe because of the excessive use of makeup. And tonight, she will be using less makeup, as per her client’s request. 

She will be exposing herself to this stranger that she will never get the chance to know. 

She shrugged those thoughts off her mind, Bri went to the bathroom and took a shower.

Phoenix can’t sit still. He was excited and at the same time terrified of the things that he was about to do. 

Fucking a damn stripper was never his thing.

“Did you make sure the manager signed the NDA I sent?” 

Yes, call him paranoid or what, he has to make sure that this will never go to the public. His reputation is everything to him, it’s the only thing that he’s proud of, and one taint is bought to make his world crumble. 

Levi, his secretary nodded. He stood in front of the senator’s desk in his office. 

“Yes, Senator. You don't have to worry about it, I personally handed her the paper and I saw her sign it.” Levi answered in full confidence. 

Phoenix pulled his tie and opened the few buttons of his polo. He leaned back on his swivel chair and pulled a cigarette from his stash and lit it. 

His eyes kept on wandering back into the mounted clock on the wall. His body was burning already with need, his anticipation was killing him. 

“Shit!” He let out a breathy curse as he adjusted himself on his swivel chair.

“Are you alright, Senator?” Levi looked at him with concern in his eyes, then he looked down at the center of his thighs, Phoenix glared at him. “Do you need anything, sir?” Levi added.

“Nothing, you can now leave.” He does not want to sound rude, but he can see the way Levi held his laugh that his own secretary was mocking him.
