1 A contract.

Bella took deep breaths before stepping out of the car. She was more anxious than in her first modelling job.

The black two men at the front glanced at her. She pulled out the card they had told her to use when she got to the hotel.

"Good evening Miss Quinn, this way please." one said leading her inside.

"Thank you," she said following him.

They arrived at their destination, "The boss is inside waiting" he said opening the door.

She blinked nodding, he stood still waiting for her to take a step forward but she didn't.

"Are you okay?" he kindly asked.

She smiled shaking her head, "Mmm, am okay"

Taking a step inside Bella finally walked in.

....

"All you need to do is stay by his side and pretend to be his finance until the dinner is done" Bella heard her boss say.

She frowned, "But am a model, not an actress, and how did I end up being in this mess?".

Her Boss sighed, "You can learn and it's only at night. He paid quite a lot but most of the girls have refused cause he has a history of being violent"

"Huh? And you still want me to go ahead with it? Are you serious boss? What if he does go violent and hit my face" She pointed at her face, "remember it's what makes my money".

Her boss smiled, "I know but we also know your father was a taekwondo instructor and you were his best student. So your cable of protecting yourself"

She sighed, "Really, that's the reason you choose me... Am now offended"

"Not really, you also fit in the category he asked for. Not too pretty, black-haired and full red lips" she said.

"But that's exactly me" Bella raised her eyebrow.

Her boss nodded, "So you fit perfectly and if he tries to harm you go ahead and protect yourself"

Bella leaned back glancing at the cheque and contract.

"Can I read through?" she pointed at it.

"You don't have time for that Bella, either you take it or not" her boss passed her the pen.

She sighed smiling, "You know I can't say no 'cause I need the money" taking the pen she signed.

"Congratulations" her boss said taking the now signed documents.

"Ahh, on what?" she asked.

Her boss blinked and then smiled, "On your new job, Hope you do it well" she lied.

Bella glanced at her but then her phone rang, it was her designer.

"That must be the designer., go down and meet. He will fix you up and send you off" she said.

Bella nodded and walked out. Her boss sighed and turned away.

"Good luck, 'cause you seriously need it" she muttered.
