Smita and Saurabh had been living in USA for couple of years. Saurabh had landed a small time job with an IT company but things were not looking very bright for him. He had been fired from his job few months back and he was not able to find another job despite searching desperately for any alternative employment. Whatever money they had saved was fast running out.
By his own ordinary standards Smita was quite a catch for Saurabh. She was gorgeous, had slender petite body with firm perky breasts, silky smooth long hair with eyes to die for. She was also quite high maintenance and Saurabh was often not able to meet her expectations. She wanted all the glitz and glamour in her life but their financial condition would often not allow her to do things she wanted to do. She was an active "Instagrammer" and had following of couple of thousand people. It was on "Instagram" that Cynthia had spotted her and offered her some modeling work through her agency. The trial photo shoot had gone well but things couldn't progress further as Smita was married and Cynthia had a policy of not engaging married girls. Moreover Saurabh was not very keen on Smita working as a model. He knew that, as part of work, Smita may have to wear skimpy outfits and show off her beautiful body to others. He didn't like that idea.
But desperate times call for desperate measures. And for Saurabh and Smita these were desperate times. So Smita decided to approach Cynthia once again to check if she could get any modeling work.
Cynthia, the ever clever businesswomen, that she was found out that Smita and her husband desperately needed money so she decided to offer some work to Smita but under some very stringent conditions. She called both of them to her office to discuss the contract.
"I called both of you to my office because I wanted to make sure that both of you understand the terms and conditions of the contract clearly so that there is no trouble later on." She told them as they sat in front of her.
"Last time we met I had told you can I don't employ married girls because it makes my work complicated." She addressed Smita "but I can make an exception for you, but under some conditions."
"What are those conditions?" Saurabh asked with a bit of hesitation.
"Conditions are simple but you will have to follow them strictly. Any violation of conditions would mean that I would terminate the contract." Cynthia said.
Both Smita and Saurabh were waiting anxiously for Cynthia to spell out the conditions.
"Look I will be blunt with you. My line of work requires male and female models to work closely with each other. I like all my models be comfortable with each other so I encourage my models to spend time with each other and get to know each other. All the boys and girls in my agency regularly go on dates with each other and have no inhibitions working in close physical contact with each other."
Smita and Saurabh sat motionless as Cynthia described how she was expecting Smita to behave once she joins her agency.
"If the word goes out that you are married then clearly boys will be hesitant to work with you." Cynthia said as she addressed Smita. "Therefore it is necessary that neither you nor Saurabh can ever tell anyone that you are married to each other."
Cynthia paused for a moment to let the information sink in.
"But Smita and I will be living in the same house so what will she tell others about me." Saurabh finally asked.
Cynthia was glad that Saurabh asked this question because it showed to her that he had not out rightly rejected the idea. So he had taken an important first step towards letting his wife loose.
"Ideally I would prefer that she not talk about you at all but if she must mention you, she can say that you are just her roommate. Nothing more than that." Cynthia replied.
"The initial contract is only going to be for 3 months, so for 3 months you can pretend not to be married, and then later you can decide whether you want to continue the arrangement or terminate."
