Chereads / I BURN FOR YOU / Chapter 4 - Sad fate

Chapter 4 - Sad fate

"Just who the hell does he think he is? Just Bieber?!" "I get that kind of looks all the time from ladies so I understand" Aria mimicked him. "Understand what?! That he thinks he is the greatest thing that happened since toasted bread?! Rich Idiot" she murmured "Even if he is handsome, a fact I will never accept in his presence he still has no right to talk to me that way am not one of his regular kind of ladies" "I'm different and am worth more" Aria encouraged herself looking at her reflection at a glass window flashing a smile at herself, a smile which turned sad in a matter of seconds.

"I just need to get a good job, how hard can it be?". She has been job hunting since morning and now it's 4pm and not even a promise for a job. "Life isn't that hard they say but you should experience it when you're at the bottom of the food chain in a capitalist society" Aria thought to herself silently.

"Excuse me miss!" Aria was jolted back to reality by a security man. "My master would love you to move from his house and stop staring at his house like you want to swallow it whole"  the man said rudely.

"Why don't you tell your master that his house looks like something carved out of an abyss and I only look at it with pity and disgust" Aria replied and walked away and she could tell from the looks of the security man that her reply hit just the right spot. Nothing is more satisfying than giving a befitting reply to insults meant to belittle you. Yes she is struggling to survive but no one has the right to rub it on her face, absolutely noone! Aria still smirking from the look on the security man's face remembered Mr Rude idiot and her smirk vanished.

Darn! Why hasn't she forgotten that idiot whose name for some reason she regretted not knowing!

"Mr Rich idiot is certainly badluck!" Aria hissed.

She remembered his threat of seeing her again and she cringed. "Hell no am not seeing him again. No way in hell is that gonna happen! He certainly will want to take revenge on me! Gosh I smacked him really hard, I hope it leaves a mark that will bug him for sometime so anytime he looks at it he will remember that I'm the one who gave him the little souvenir" she said laughing her lungs out.

A job she has not but that doesn't mean she will let it rob her of her laughter and dark sense of humour. Aria cleaned the tears she acquired from laughing as a result of her memory from today.

"But what am I to do now? Am going to become a beggar to feed if I don't get myself a job today"

Like an answered prayer she saw a bar with a sales girl sign needed. One thing she made a habit to avoid in her job hunting are bars. Aria knows what they really needed girls for. Yes she has no money but she was a pretty black girl with the right curves . Her afro long hair made it a duty to stand out and make her unique. She wore her hair naturally since she couldn't afford to braid it but she did braid it herself once in a while. A look at her skin you won't believe she uses not skincare product. Sometimes she took her looks as a blessing and sometimes a curse. If only she could look a bit shabby maybe they might have pity on her and hire her but her looks gave everything asides shabby vibes so she just saw it as an unwanted blessing, she has no money but she did serve looks so it's sort of a win for her.

She knew what job awaited for her if she entered the bar and she honestly wished there was another way to go about this but there wasn't and so with her breath held in Aria walked into the bar and headed straight to the managers office.

"Good evening sir, I'm Aria Johnson and am here to apply for the job of a sales girl as stated in the vacancy outside your bar" Aria said wearing her best smile and flashing a set of perfect white teeth. A look at the Man and she could tell he was charmed"You have him right where you want him Aria" she thought to herself and smiled more.

"Well Aria you are one stunning lady and by the looks on your face you I can tell that you already know what we mean when we said we wanted a sales girl don't you?" The manager replied flashing a set of disarranged tobacco stained teeth at Aria.

Aria almost gagged but stopped herself and smiled instead "why of course I do sir and I can assure you that I'm the best at what I do". Aria smiled again winking at the ugly pot bellied man.

"Well since you think so why don't you sure me what you got cutie pie" He said flashing his horrible teeth again. Aria cringed this time around but hopefully the foolish man's eyes was only covered with lust that he couldn't see her reaction.

"Aria think fast and get yourself out of this mess you've gotten yourself into!"

She smiled "Sir why don't I show you my potential with how many customers I can fetch you in a week and then I can pay my gratitude to you in full" Aria smiled seductively at him and winked.

While he seemed to be thinking of her offer she silently prayed her plan works. She can get more than enough money working her for three days. Just enough to get her through for some weeks while she went job hunting again, this time for a dignified job! She looked at him and smiled again "think all you want fool I won't even be here for a week" 

Suddenly he smiled at her again "If this man smiles one more time I will quit before I start" Aria thought to herself. She couldn't bear to see those horrible set of teeth again.

"Well cutie you're hired" the manager said .

If only it was a real job she would have smiled genuinely but no it wasn't.

No matter how much she tried to avoid it she couldn't. Such a fate was common for girls like her.

It was official

She was now a stripper...
