Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: The Lion's Den

"Girl you just proved to me today that you are way dumber than I thought you were." Yuri clenched his jaw, giving Penelope the stink eye before changing the subject. "Anyways bitches. Speaking of HOT CEOs. How about we all try getting on an interview at Montresor Industries! Since you bitches LOVE LOVE LOVE hot rich men so much, how about try working for one!"

Oh great... Yuri brought up the conversation we had yesterday...

"Montresor Industries? Isn't that the company that owns those five-star hotels and restaurants around the country?!" Penelope exclaimed, feeling curious about the matter.

I turned to her and sighed. "Yuri wants us to apply to him because of the good pay and.. the potentially good-looking CEO that they have for some odd reason."

"YUP! Still can't believe that they are accepting student interns especially since they are a company in its prime BUT ANYWAYS! LOOK AT THIS BIG FAT PAYCHECK THEY OFFER FOR THE INTERNSHIP! THEY TRAIN AND PAY YOU!" Both of them giggle like a bunch of schoolgirls looking on the website that I looked at yesterday.

"OH MY GOD. THAT'S HUGE PAY. I can literally buy so many clothes with that!" Penelope nodded to Yuri. Which got me to just smile quietly at how energetic they are feeling. "I AM SO GONNA TRY TO APPLY TO THAT!"

"I know right! Let's go apply to it BUT apparently, Grace is busy getting double-fucked by homework and favors..." Yuri sarcastically directed a comment to me. Making Penelope laugh.

"How come you don't want to try it out? What if you pass you know? That'll be a good thing for us if at least one of us passes." Penelope puts her hand on my arm to convince me.

It's not that I don't want to try it out. There's nothing wrong with trying things out for yourself. It's just that.... I've been struggling my entire life to just do things that I want. I can't even decline politely to Jake.. what makes them think I can do something like that quickly...

"Guys... it's just that I don't think I'll be able to pass you know? This company is a lot tougher than most of them and I really have a bad feeling about this." I cleared my throat, trying to ease that sinking feeling of dread on me.

I mean, why am I so scared of trying to join into this. It's a good opportunity after all. I really don't wanna miss it.. but there's this bad feeling that follows this. It's as if, this whole thing, can potentially turn out bad. If I don't avoid it.

"Girl what? I already told you, that the pay is good and you'll get to stare at an eye-candy CEO so what are you blabbering about?" Yuri scoffed me off, giving me the cold shoulder because of my hesitant behavior.

"I mean I don't really care about the money, I just want experience since this is for a class after all. I'm fine with taking low tier payment since I don't exactly expect getting high payments from the get-go." I pleaded with him, though he wasn't amused at my lack of confidence.

"Whatever. I gave you the pieces. You're foolish for not taking the chanc-" As Yuri was talking, a presence suddenly came clouding over us. A tall, muscular and with a face that can turn heads approached our table with a bunch of files in his hands with a bright smile on his face.

"Oh hello, Grace! Can I talk with you for a moment? I need to speak with you." The man asked for me. I turned around to see that it was the leader of the club that I was in. Oh boy, what does he want from me now? Usually, when he talks to me, he needs something from me. It's always the same with him.

"I was hoping you can stay late for a bit to finish some works from the club. It's cause I'm actually to have a meeting with the club advisors today and I really need someone to do this work for me, can you do this please? I'll owe you big time." He begged me to help him.

I turned to look at Yuri, giving me some signs to say no as he glared at me. I then went to look back at the club leader and was convinced to say yes by his puppy dog eyes.

"Alright...I can do it. Just leave it to me. I'm not exactly swamped today, so I might as well do it." I answered being forced by the pressure he put on me. He smiled with glee while I can see Yuri preparing a whole list of lectures he's about to explode at me as the club leader dropped off the files on the table for me to work on.

"Thank you again! You are a big lifesaver! Anyways! I'll be going now! See you! Just text me if you have some issues!" He runs away now and completely goes out of my sight.

"Idiot. You know, for someone that's smart, you are very foolish Grace." Yuri rolled his eyes, giving me a disapproving look.

"What? Why are you giving me attitude?" I responded.

"I can clearly see the fact that you don't really want to do anything that the club leader wants you to do but instead you go ahead and do it anyway, don't you got a backbone Grace?" He rolled his eyes.

"I mean if that guy asked me for help. I wouldn't exactly say no," Penelope added, making Yuri facepalm.

"You two hoes are hopeless. Might as well just suck that guy's dick since you guys want to do anything that he says, I mean for crying out loud, his fake excuse of meeting with the club advisor is so fake. He's just going to another party like he always does. I can always see that manwhore partying." Yuri expressed his rage.
