she turned to meet Nathan's gaze with her hands tucked in her pocket , with her eyes locked on his, she said out loud.
“we are all here because we love to do something, we love to be famous and earn lots of cash. people would kill to get what they love, people would commit fraud, cheat and lie to get what the love. we love because we want to be appreciated and chosen over the others. we get married because we want to beat others to get there first. and have kids just like everyone else... ”
Jordan was irritated already, he had to cut her short and remind her of the real question.
“my friend what's your point, I don't get what you are trying to portray here, remember the question young lady”.
unknown to Jordan she was communicating with Nathan already, and his eyes is never left hers when she continued.
“don't you get my point... ?
she questioned sarcastically.
“love is a f****** game”.
Nathan got the hit he stood up and interrupted Jordan or any other judge from saying anything else. he picked his portfolio and just before he headed out he whispered to Jordan, “ send her to my office,
she is the one.....”
“ love is a game? does that even make any sense Nathan?”
Jordan tailed him from behind. He hated the fact that Doris got the spot. he didn't like her guts, and he felt that she was going to become a big problem to him.
“ yes, she's the one I need Nathan roared”....
I'll be taking the first flight tomorrow common back to Las Vegas NV, now send the girl to my office. Jordan attempted protesting, but she is rude and......
but Nathan wouldn't hear any of it he chipped in
“she's hired ”.
he fired back cutting Jordan with his words.
Jordan stop when Nathan doubled his Pace.
“damn it!” he caused and started towards the hall, Doris was back to her seat, still busy on her phone. he instantly began to wonder how she got her hands on an iPhone, she must be some thug or something....
“hey Doris, come with me, ” he instructed and turned to leave immediately. the building was a very complex building, and so when he called for her, he made sure he was quick. he did so on purpose hoping she would lost her way.
“go through that door.” he instructed with a frown on his face.
Natthan sat facing her; define thoughts flooded her mind but whatever it was she was pretty sure it was something she could handle. she felt he was handsome after taking a better look at him, his perfect shaped face, he was tall, his lips had an oval shape and it appeared testing and so succulent in her eyes is karma in fact everything looks well made in his body I bet he had a well chiseled chest she thought, one that suited his slight you shipped first she was checking him out stylishly and he noticed.
“Hey"
he called and snapped her out of her reverie she didn't see the need to reply so she simply conned the office with her eyes is and chipped a smile at the corner of her lips in response.
“Doris, tell me a little about yourself"
she was quick to chuckle at this question.
“trust me there's nothing to tell".
she replied shrewdly. her personal life was has to keep.
“you have to get serious here karma I don't have all day".
she read the disgust in his tone, so she hard to adjust to its taste and touch the tip of the iceberg
I'm an orphan, I live with my aunt who makes life a living hell for me, and I hustle in the streets, and I've managed to fend for myself.
his continents remain the same korma with no emotions at all neither did he show any sign of sympathy to her summarised story, that was the list of his interest, she could feel the line on her forehead crinkle as she looked to see if there was an inch of pity in his face. he showed none it didn't sound new to him after all....she thought.
“have you ever been in love?"
she nodded with a scoff...
“what's the count??
“8 guy's in total; they were all equal bastards, he smiled now, but she didn't find it funny.
“you loved them??
she hesitated and felt that he was prying on her personal life details.
I will need this information for what I need you for he explained and eased her paranoid mind.
“I loved the first 3 the rest were for fun and the cash'.
he was quiet for a while and for a minute there she felt that she had given out too much info.
“what kind of fun?”
his question erupted strange butterflies in her tummy. she felt he was being too ridiculous, but he was quite serious, with no sign of levity.“that kind of s*x fun "
He sighed, when she had waited hard gaze to regain her confidence. she felt embarrassed talking about that , he must feel like she is some flirt. but the next minute she cared not.
Good, because I need you for a job karma no strings attached. when I mean no strings, I mean no feelings, no love, no sex....strictly business, and you will be well paid.
she didn't get his point, a thought popped in her mind and she got any response.
“and no! it's not prostitution". he added just to wave such thoughts out of her mind....
like he pried on her thoughts, and counted her outburst, she nodded with a questionable expression still.
“I hope it will be okay with you if I am to take you out of the country??
she tried so hard to tame the thrill that welled up in her, well robust, ready to burst.
“it would be my pleasure sir".
she didn't care if she was rational and quick in her decision to tag along with a total stranger, on the basis of a job that has not yet been revealed to her.
her mind was immediately made up to take the risk, as far as it takes her out of the country and out of the torture house she loathed so much to call home.
“alright, get your stuff and meet me back here at 8 a.m. tomorrow"
she was up already about leaving and at the threshold when he called out to her, “and Doris....., don't be late".
