It's been 3 months since your encounter with Mr. Fullmore. Going in you thought you might regret it, but honestly you can confidently say now that you don't at all. It's made the last 3 months a LOT easier. You've managed to get up to date on your school work, and the extra money has allowed you to make your rent on time.
But that didn't last forever. Your car was rear-ended in the parking lot, and you don't have the money to fix it. It's old too. Several decades. And of course you don't have insurance. Who has the money for that. Without your car you have had to take the bus to campus. And frankly that is getting old fast... so many creepers looking you up and down, you feel dirty once it's done.
Mr. Fullmore is only a phone call away, and you easily set up a meeting with his assistant. Apparently he's still interested... Frankly you thought it was a long shot getting in touch with him again. After all, it had been three months. But it worked. You are going to a Gala or Ball or something like that this Saturday. Rene said he would drop off the appropriate garment Saturday afternoon, then he would take her to the salon to have her hair done for the event.

You actually really like Rene. He's a sweet old man and he sort of reminds you of your late grandfather. It's late Saturday approaching evening. You are just getting out of the salon. Frankly you look gorgeous if you do say so yourself. You catch Rene smiling at you, almost as if smiling at a granddaughter he was proud looked so beautiful.
It's a decent drive to the location of the Ball. It's at some mansion overlooking the bridge. The place is huge -- much bigger than Mr. Fullmore's mansion. This thing is a sprawling palace practically, and it is alive with people in suits and dresses talking and chatting.
"If you would wait in the car a moment Ms. Foster, I will call Mr. Fullmore down to pick you up."
You nod quietly as you wait. Frankly you are a bit nervous. Everyone looks very rich and very posh. You don't recognize anyone, but you have a feeling that if you kept up on Oil Tycoon and rich businessmen you would.
It's a few minutes wait in the limo as it idles in the long driveway waiting for Mr. Fullmore to come, but soon you see him approach the vehicle. He opens the door for you and offers a hand to help you out as he smiles. "So glad you could make it" he says as you take his hand and exit the vehicle. "I'm sure you'll love the party. Perhaps you recognize a few people?" he says with a smirk.

The night begins to drag on. You honestly feel a bit awkward; as though you are being paraded around like a trophy. You suppose that's exactly what is happening. Mr. Fullmore introduces you to several of his "friends" and you stand by idly nodding and smiling as you pretend to understand what the hell they are talking about.
The dinner was good, but frankly the portions were tiny. Your stomach growls at your empty plate as you scrape off the last remnant salmon sauce. The whole "dinner" was practically just one bite of salmon. Mr. Fullmore and the other foppish people drone on about the "texture" and "richness" of the salmon, and how well it pairs with the "musky wine with a hint of cork." Frankly you know a bar downtown that would give you a piece of salmon just as good for 1/10th the price that was 10 times as large. And they have good beer there too... you never really cared for wine. But you sip along. Despite how much you hate all this you do your absolute best to make it look like you are enjoying yourself. Thankfully Mr. Fullmore seems to buy it... Maybe you are enjoying it just a tiny bit? The view is beautiful after all, and you make most of the old women here look like hags.

As you get back into the limo with Mr. Fullmore it's clear things quickly turn to business. The partition is up to give you privacy. "So" he begins "I wasn't expecting to see you again. Thank you for the party; it was really quite enjoyable to see the dumfounded look on those snobs faces when I walked in with such a beautiful lady. You conducted yourself quite well. Now, where should I have Rene take us?" It was clearly a question. Was the party all you wanted or did you want to go back to his place and let him fuck you for more. After pausing for a moment to think you decide to be frank.
"My car was totaled a little while back" you pause for a moment, not really knowing where to go after blurting that out. You blush a bit. He nods and looks thoughtful, as if mulling things over in his head.
"Well, a car is quite the investment. It's not really like rent, you see. With rent, you saw me once then left for three months. That was fine; the end of a transaction. Rent is cheap. Motor vehicles are not."
You sigh inwardly. Well, it's not really a surprise. You didn't exactly expect him to hump you once and give you a car... "I understand" you say.
