Natasha :

I had just gotten back from the club,it's been a long night and I'm really excited to get back home and get some nice sleep,though the club closed by 4am but we aren't allowed to leave until 6am,because of an incident that happened a while ago even before I joined them in the club.

It's was rumored that a girl from the club got missing after she left the club immediately after the close of the club with a strange customer ,nobody heard what happened to her and she never came back ,so it's had been the rule of the club that all the girls stay till daybreak unless you sure of the person you going home with.

I approach the door of our house,trying to get the key out to open the door,then I noticed it's wasn't locked,pushing the door back,I stepped in and walked into the house,I went to the kitchen to see if Emily is in there's,but she wasn't,I dropped my bag on the floor and walked back to the room,I stopped by her door,I called out her name and also knocked on the door but it seems she left for work so early,she doesn't leave home this early ,I normally comes back to meet her either making breakfast or dressing up to leave ,

I gently push open her room door and I was met with the most disgusting sight,her clothes littered every where,soak wipes plasters on different areas of her room,she might have cry her self to sleep again I thought ,I felt guilty for not been there for her when she needed someone to lean on,for Emily to be this rough and leaving the house so early then it means something isn't alright,I reach for my phone to give her a call when I remember she can't answer the phone while at work,

I changed into something comfortable and dive into action by cleaning her room and preparing something for us all to eat,I might as well not go to club today ,I will just call Stefan to lay a complaint that am not feeling too good .

I had work for De velvet club for close to a year now,thou it's isn't a job one could be proud off but at least it's pays more than most of the jobs that are available here in the city .

At first it's wasn't an easy choice to make ,knowing you will have to wear lingerie and dance on the stage for sex hungry looking men,and walked up to them afterward to give them a lap dance ,the lap dance is where we all get our money from,they call it tips ,after dancing the men give us tips as a job well done .I was shy at first but when I realized the amount of money I made in a night,I had to embrace my new job and do it diligent.

The smell of the burnt rice on the fire jolted me back to reality ,I hurried into the kitchen to see my food all burnt.

"Another burnt offering "I said while laughing at my self.

Alex:

I had just finished the first meeting with the team that are currently working on sending the raw materials to the base company.and am sure I had a whole lot of meetings to attend,how on earth am I supposed to find a girl and get married.

Even thou most ladies always seem to like me by passing eyes at me but I am never interested in any of them or getting involved with them,

There was a time the media carried it that am guy ,but I wouldn't blame them which man at my age will not have a relationship.I sighted at my own problems.

"Alex you have a meeting by 1pm "Nate my pa and friend said reminding me of the day schedule .

"What about the assignment I gave you "I asked with a very clear tone

"Still on it man,I am compiling a list of single ladies you could choose from"he answered me,as he sat on the chair opposite me.

"I don't need any girl from any nice backgrounds and family ,I don't want someone that will cling on me like a parasite "I said

"I don't understand you man,what kind of ladies do you want,I had arranged for you more than 10 dates but you go and come back with different complains "he said staring at me like a father scolding his child

"All those ladies are after my money and fame,infact I don't want any thing serious ,I need someone I can easily discard after I might have calm my father and the board members down,then we can get a divorce quickly "I said to him,placing my hands on my heart.

"Wait Alex,if I can comprehend you,you want an arrange marriage kind of a contract wife "he asked raising his eye brown

"Yes Nate yes ,now you are understanding me"i replied,hitting my hand on my office desk lightly.

"Nop man,are you sure about what you saying "

"That what I wan Nate,a random girl from nowhere I can use and achieve my aim,I can't love anybody you know right "I asked him

"Yes I know my friend with an iron heart,so where will I see this random girl"I said

"You asking me,that is your fucking job man,find her and prepay a contract that will be favorable to me ,"

"Bad ass nigga "he smirk at me

"Oh am I your boss or you are the boss uh"I asked him

"Oh man you are my boss,you pay me right so am at your command "he replied me ,as he raised his hand upwards .

With that he left my office .

I and Nate had been close friends right from childhood,thou his parents at not rich but he had proved to me to be a friend and brother i never had ,even thou I have a cousin brother but we don't get along with each other like I and Nate .

Nate mother works in our house as a chef so Nate always come to the house to play ball with me and sometimes do my schoolwork with me.

So after I took over my father company I asked him to join me as my pa ,his mother mrs Asian was very nice and good to me ,and she was happy with me when she learnt I employed her son.

Just then Nate pop his head through the door into my office and asked me to come to the boardroom that the female investor had arrived.

I quickly stood up ,pick up my laptop and stormed out of my office to the board room.
