The lone lady sitting on one corner of the bar looks like an ordinary person in one glance. She's just wearing a simple black pants and a simple white blouse. She's also not wearing any makeup at all. Her overall appearance is definitely not eye-catching. In a bar where there are lots of hungry men hunting for innocent preys, being unnoticed is probably what she wanted given that she's hiding in a corner.
Julian has been observing the girl for quite some time now. He has seen some men approach her but all of them were given the cold shoulder. Even those who look devilishly handsome with too much money to spend were ignored much to his astonishment. There is indeed some justice in this world. He looked at his assistant who's sitting beside him. "Matthew, what do you think of that girl?"
Matthew was surprised with the question. The girl doesn't look like she's one of the elite but she has the air of one - aloof and unapproachable. He cannot gauge her properly at this time and unfortunately, it doesn't seem like she's interested in anything except for quietly sipping her drink and contemplating about God knows what. With that, he tried to answer as tactfully as he can.
"Boss, I can't really form an educated opinion on her right now. Would you like me to investigate? "
Julian just became more intrigued. if even Matthew, who's an expert in human behaviour, cannot read the girl properly, then she must be really interesting. He has to get to know her before anything else. He cautiously went to her table. The girl eyed him coolly as he approached.
"If you're here to proposition me for the night, then you better hunt elsewhere. I'm not interested in meaningless things. "
He froze in his tracks. What shameless thought did this girl had! He is not that kind of guy! He's confused. Did he do anything to elicit this kind of behaviour? He feels wronged somehow. But before he can say anything else, the girl looked at him up and down before she spoke again.
"Well, you look handsome and rich enough. I don't think it would be difficult for you to get some woman or man if you prefer but please don't bother me. I am not in the mood for BS."
Why is the world so cruel? All she wanted is to go some place to unwind while she thought of what her next step would be. At this time, she doesn't have any resources. All she has is the small travel bag that she's carrying and the small savings on her ATM that would last her for several months but nothing more. She knows that she's being watched so she won't dare to go to her secret place yet. She needs time and to buy that much needed time, she needs to have a job but how to get one. Although she has multiple skills, she doesn't have any paper work to prove it. And since she was stil on parole, she doesn't dare to fabricate her credentials.... for now.
She looked up and was surprised that the man was still there. How shameless! "I told you to go. Why are you still here? Do you need me to help you on your way out?"
The man just casually pulled one chair and sat on it. "I need someone to pretend to be my fiancee for one month. I'll give you one million for your services. Do you agree? "
The girl just laughed at him. "I just got out from prison. Will that be a problem? "
Julian was simply dumbfounded. "What?"
