Week 7
Chapter 1
Monday
This was nice.
I love the smell of freshly brewed coffee, and this one was heavenly. Glancing at Kimmy as we sat in our favorite spot at the coffee shop where we had our first date made me smile. She had on her nerdy glasses, and her hair was messily tied up in a bun as she scoured over notepads and sticky notes strewn all over the table. Although we were planning something important, it was also important to note how adorable she was.
She looked up at me to go over yet another part of our plan for the office party, where I was supposed to find out who had used the program to mind control me. Still, I couldn't help myself, so I kissed her hand, which was tapping a pencil on the table.
"Izzy, this is serious!" She scolded me but in the cutest way possible.
"Yes, mam," I saluted her and tried to focus on the plan.
I finished my coffee and this delish chocolate danish after the millionth time we were over the plans. I can see why Kimmy is a great student.
"Okay," she said with a determined look, "You've got this!"
I don't know if I do, but Kimmy's confidence helped. If she made the plan, it had to work, right? It seemed simple enough, too. By the end of the party, I'll know who was behind all of this! Who made me into this!
"Yay! Thanks, Kimmy, I do totally got this!" I giggled at the absurdity of the way I talked now. Although I was starting to enjoy how it made people look at me. Like I was some bimbo they could control. I shook my head; no, that was the programming talking again. I think.
I reached across the table and held her hand softly. By the end of the week, the mystery will be over, and then I could get my revenge!
Chapter 2
Tuesday
Kimmy was right. The moment the Beef Wellington touched my tongue, I almost came. It was to die for! Tender, perfectly cooked beef with that flaky, buttery pastry and such a rich sauce. It was so good! So good that I couldn't stop a little moan from escaping me.
I've lived on Ramen, canned tuna, and other cheap eats for years, and now I am dining in luxury. You've come so far, Izzy!
With another bite, I closed my eyes, really savoring it. It was so good that I forgot where and who I was with. I could get used to this.
"It's good, isn't it? You don't know how many chefs I had to go through before I found this guy." It was Mr. Montgomery bringing me back to reality. Kimmy's dad brought me to his best restaurant for some kind of business proposal. I don't want to do business with this jerk. This jerk who fired me and set off this whole chain of events that brought me to where I am now. A whore. Sometimes, I didn't know whether to slap or thank him.
"So," Mr. Montgomery began, "I guess you want to know what I have to offer?"
"Not really. Like, I am just here for the beef," I giggled like the vapid idiot; that was how I'd been programmed to act. However, I was lying; he and I both knew I was interested.
"Oh, really?"
I placed down my fork, trying to get serious. "Well, sir. I don't know. You, like, ruined my life. Your daughter had to convince me to come tonight."
He chuckled. "Yeah, well, sorry about that. I misjudged you before. I didn't realize you were so," he paused, searching for the appropriate word, "dedicated."
"Dedicated?" I rolled my eyes.
"I've seen you work at the club. You go above and beyond the other girls. You're the best whore there."
Why the fuck did that comment make me feel proud?
"Fine. What's the job?"
A smug look came over his face as he leaned back in his chair. "Izzy, I have a number of businesses in town. You know that. What I need is someone to be the face of those businesses."
"You want me to be a mascot? Like that creepy Burger King?"
"No, no. I need someone to model for the ads, someone to be at openings, and someone to entertain clients. You know, to be the beauty behind this beast, so to speak."
I tried to process what he was saying. "So, like, you want me to be your company slut?"
He laughed and shook his head. Was I not getting this? "Well, I wouldn't put it that way, but at times, sure." He looked me over and finally put on a more serious face. "You'll make real money, Izzy. Enough that meals like this will become the norm. Plus, you won't have to deal with those losers at the club or online anymore. Only classy businessmen, well, business people."
"You, um, know about that?" I pouted. Was this fucker one of my Only Fans subscribers?
"When it comes to business, I do my research."
I bit my lip. There was some appeal to Mr. Montgomery's offer. The money. The luxury. I could stop being a stripper and a porn star. I would be a model. A businesswoman, well, kind of. I took another bite of the delicious Wellington. It was all so tempting.
"I'll have to, like, think it over."
