Chapter 40

It was now a new week and Cardan had finally received his first salary. He immediately went to the bank when boss Dai went to meet some of her supplies.

And as soon as he arrived he opened a savings account for himself. This would allow him to earn interest equal to 0,42%. Which means in a year he would be earning 3000 since his salary is 250 CLR monthly and his earned interest would be 12.6 CLR yearly. Not a lot but enough.

He wanted to open a foreign account but he didn't have the required documents because he didn't know he needed them. So if he opened a foreign account and created a savings account. 1$=50CLR which means that his earned interest would switch from 12.6CLR to 630CLR yearly.

Next month it is.

Arriving at the theatre club Cardan immediately found Wren. And according to Zaden Noa had quit along with Brianna. So coming to the theatre club didn't really have any benefits for him anymore.

"Good your here. Follow me" Cardan followed Wren who this time was wearing the proper school uniform expect that her socks where pink, hot pink. His new found enemy.

As soon as they arrived to her office Cardan closed the door as he watched Wren collapse on her... throne.

Cardan raised is eyebrow "What happened?"

"Sigh well,since your asking the audition didn't go as planned" she sighed again.

Cardan rolled his eyes before speaking he was still curious after all"How so?"

"They asked me to dance I got a perfect 10 stars, my visual was amazing another 10stars was added. They asked me to sing and unfortunately for them it was 4 stars... I was asked if I could rap I said no so they told me I could leave. Soon after the top 50 were chosen and I wasn't part of them" she paused as looked at the glass jug of strawberry and then Cardan.

Sighing Cardan poured her a glass and gave it to her.

"Thank you dear peasant. As I was saying. Apparently the new group they where developing was only planned for people with high vocal range, the lowest was 8 at best and the highest was a perfect 10" Wren quited down trying to calm herself before blowing.

Cardan massaged her head as he tried to help her calm down.

"You're really good at this. Which is why from hence fourth you shall be my massage peasant as well" Cardan immediately moved his hands from her as soon as those words left her lips.

"I'm not doing it unless I'm getting paid" Cardan stated as he moved away from her.

"Peasant did you forget what your role was and it has nothing to do with getting paid." Wren said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Cardan exclaimed.

"It means that you're my property now unless you want die come back here" Wren commanded.

"Pay or no work"

"Peasant"

"Pay or no work"

"CARDAN"

"PAY OR NO WORK"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Fine fine I'll pay you now come here"

"..."

"...50CLR a week"

"..."

"Cardan you work 5 times in one week 50 seems like a lot and it is"

"Yeah but I don't only take pictures of you but I pure you a glass of any drink you want and now I even have to massage you" Cardan defended his case.

"You're the one who blindly began giving me a massage!" Wren exclaimed.

"Your point?"

"Cardan"

"I'm saying pay me more" Cardan calmly said plus your parents have enough.

"Fine 100CLR take it or-"

"Deal" I'd be stupid if I turned that down especially considering I'd be making 300CLR in a month from her. Cardan internally thought.

For some reason Wren also felt like she had been robbed day light either way her dad had the money and gave her enough to support her poor peasant. She suddenly felt bad for her peasant but that thought disappeared just as quickly as it appeared.

Shaking her head back to focus she turned back to Cardan "Now come here" she commanded once more.

Meekly so Cardan moved back to his former position albert reluctant.

"Let me continue-"

"It's not over yet?" Cardan said.

"What do you think deemwit?" Wren said mockingly.

Cardan just shrugged his shoulders before he continued massaging her.

"As I-"

"Wait how are you going to pay me. In installments or fall cash on Friday or will you just send it to my account. And how am I show that you're really going to pay me" as Cardan continued be didn't notice Wren shaking.

"Do you want to die Cardan?" Wren sent him a life piercing glare which left Cardan frozen.

"I.Asked.You.A.Question!" she exclaimed.

Gulping Cardan shook his head .

"I need words Cardan."

"No" Cardan muttered.

"Cardan don't ever forget who I am. I am an empress and as such my word should be taken the same way as a loyal knight giving his/her oath to their master. So you need no worry about how I'll pay you. Do I make myself clear" she finished.

Cardan was about to nod before he caught himself "Yes my Empress" he blurted out.

Finally calming down she added softly "You can give me your account info and I'll send it there just remind me when we're done"

"Yes"

"Where was I ...ahhh yes I wasn't chosen I was a bit disappointed but that it's life. But as soon as I left a woman with messy her asked me to try audition now. Different from the other one that looked elegant she was a bit messy but I ended up agreeing. Daddy drove me to their studio that was much smaller. They asked the same question and after learning I couldn't sing well enough they asked if I could rap. I said I'd never tried too so I wouldn't know.

Since there where more people who where picked up after being rejected from other companies they left me with a well known street rapper from the underground and asked him to give me a few lines and see if I had the talent for it or even the skill. They said they didn't care really I was beautiful and could dance so it was fine. I'd just sing fewer lines. Fueled with the will to I could do well I took my three hour lesson very seriously daddy dearest accompanied me through all of it" she paused before continuing.

"The street rapper said I had talent and if captivated well I could become one of the best female rappers in the country. After I was the only one left to audition I rapped the verse and they where left speechless. So I became a trainee" Wren finished.

"Wow...so are you dropping out and didn't you want to be an actress?" Cardan couldn't help but ask.

Wren chuckled "Of course I still want to be an actress and being their trainee will make it easier. Daddy investigated them while I was practicing and said they where legit and had a few connections with the entertainment industry. Plus I'd be better marketed. As for dropping out of school that is a direct no-no. I'll have to be home schooled from then"

A frown appeared on Cardan's face "So how long before you leave" he had just gotten her to to agree to his payment agreement.

"A month" Wren stated.

"What about me?" And my earned interest.

Wren turned to find Cardan showing a cute expression.

"Don't worry the camera men aren't as good as you. After all only you can cover my true beauty. So anytime I need you a car will come for you but be prepared most of those times it would be late at night" Wren said as a sigh of relief left Cardan's lips.

Looks like his growing interest still has chance of growing. Cardan thought internally.

Looks like he has began to be loyal to his empress. Wren thought.

Cardan would just need to set a timetable with her to arrange what times she would be coming to pick him up.
