Staring at herself in the mirror one last time to convince herself that she was set for the day. She picked up her black purse that she had placed on the bed, it matched her black high waist pants and grey turtle neck blouse. She slipped on her black stilettos and headed for the door. She came out of the apartment building where she lived and inhaled the fresh air of New York City. She was quite excited about today. She hasn’t gone shopping in like two weeks, because she was busy taking care of her bills. But today, she wasn’t going to let anything stop her from shopping after receiving a thousand dollars tip from a happy customer last night.She wished she could get such tips everyday from her customers. One doesn’t get that lucky everyday. She concluded. But, she most certainly will use this money in making herself look good.

 “Good evening.” Gabriel said to Nicole after they had stared at each other for what felt like hours. “Um. How may I help you?” she managed to reply. Nicole was glad that she broke the silence between them because she honestly had no idea what to say to this 6ft2 guy standing before her. “May I have a talk with you?” he asked. Nicole looked at him confused, wondering why this class of guy would want to talk to her. “I. Um. I’m sorry, I think you've got the wrong address.” she said with a nervous chuckle. “Actually… I'm at the right address. May I come in?” he replied. Nicole couldn’t hide the surprise on her face, ‘what guts he had' she thought to herself. “Wait, wait, wait a minute. I don’t know you and I don

   Nicole made sure she packed her best underwear. It wasn’t like he was going to see her in her underwear, but a girl needs to feel confident on the inside before she can feel beautiful on the outside. She thanked her lucky stars that she had gone shopping the previous day and had acquired more clothes, undies and shoes to her old collection. When she was done packing, she took a shower to feel refreshed. After coming out of the bathroom, she stood in front of her vanity table and stared at her reflection in the mirror, then she thought to herself , 'if I'm going to act like the fiancée of a billionaire, why not start behaving like one'.So, she dropped her towel on the floor and applied some moisturizer on her body. Don’t get her wrong, she applies moisturizers but not all the time since she didn’t have a boyfriend, she never really gave a damn about her body or looks, it’s not like she dressed like wack,

   Nicole couldn’t help but stare at Gabriel, why was he doing this? She wondered. Could it be that he was impotent or something? Yeah, that could be reason enough for a guy his age to still remain single or wait, maybe he was gay and didn’t want anyone finding out about it, but he doesn’t really look gay. Why was she even thinking too much about it? Anyone can choose to remain a bachelor at his age, it’s a free world after all, but with all the money he has, he can’t be alone all his life or could it be that all the women that had come into his life were just after money? If that were the case, he wouldn’t be offering her twenty five million dollars for an act of just six months. ‘Okay Nicole, you need to stop assuming things inside your head. Concentrate on what is before you.' she internally warned herself.    Gabriel on the other hand was busy on his laptop transferrin

   Nicole followed Gabriel into the dinning room. After settling themselves comfortably on the dinning chair, Gabriel noticed that Nicole was wearing a sad face. The maids began serving their meal and Nicole kept asking them to serve her a piece of each of the different meals on the table. Is she seriously going to eat all of it? “That would be enough.” Gabriel said, stopping the maid from adding any other thing on Nicole’s plate. Nicole pouted her lips in annoyance. “I don’t want you gaining weight. I'd prefer you remain this way.” he told Nicole. His statement brought a smile to her face. “If that’s a compliment then, thank you.” she began. “But just so you'll know, no matter how much I eat, I don’t get fatter than this.” she e
