The two girls arrive at the same time, Kathleen's father is a well-known lawyer in the city, he is wealthy and powerful, and the two girls come from a wealthy family.
The two almost have the same life, coming from a rich home, having a sister who doesn't love them, and having a cheating boyfriend but the difference is, that Kathleen doesn't believe in love, she believes in having any man she wants while Barbara believes that relationship should be base on love. "Hey, beautiful!" Kathleen said as she approached Barbara grabbing her into the club, the club is very busy, it's a weekend, and it's always like that during the weekend, many people want to have fun from the week's stress. "Hi, handsome!""Silly, I am not a man.""Then stop admiring me, like one." Kathleen laughed at her silly joke, and the two grabbed a seat, as soon as they entered, a couple of boys approached them but Barbara was not in the mood for dancing today, which was her thing "Come on let's dance, are you still sulky because of Derrick?" "Oh please, I have a bigger issue than Derrick." "Bigger issue? Did the boy, you punch come after you?" "Oh keep quiet, he won't dare, or Maybe he wants another punch in his right eye," Kathleen smirked at her naughtiness. "Why did you even punch him?" "The jerk said my boyfriend should cheat on me with my sister." "It's not his fault, he just said the obvious." "That isn't funny." "I give up!" She raised her hand in surrender. "But the truth is, everyone knows that Derrick is a jerk except you." "Really?" "Yes, Derrick went after everything on a skirt, and his closeness with Claudia was suspicious but you keep saying, he was your family friend before you two started dating and now see what the jerk had done." "I was such a fool to think that he loved me and that all the other girls around were just throwing themselves at him.""Oh please, he is the one going after them and he just keeps saying that girls fall in love with him because he is very handsome, who told him that lie? He is not even handsome, and he is not close to my man crush, when it comes to look, charm, charisma, and wealth, his fashion sense is mind-blowing. You need to see him, the few times he appeared on the screen, he was so captivating."Barbara placed her hand under her chin, to watch as Kathleen kept praising her man crush, Dante is the one man that she kept praising"Why are you staring at me like that?" "I was just thinking, the last time, you went hiking, you were crushing on a boy, what is his name again?" She taps her cheek with one of her fingers. "You didn't even get his name, so you have to move from him to...""CEO Dante is the latest, he is handsome, he is eligible, and he is super husband material.""Have you finished?""Of course not, if I am to...""Stop talking nonsense, I need a boyfriend." "Boyfriend? So fast." "Not a boyfriend, like a fake boyfriend.""Are you kidding me?" "Of course, not. Can you see my teeth?" Barbara presses her lips together while asking her that. "No, but what's up with the fake boyfriend, if I may use your words?" "Dad is having a ball and Grandpa is coming but for crying out loud, why do they always want to party?" "Silly, you always enjoy it." "That was before when I had that jerk of a boyfriend." Another round of laughter follows. "Stop laughing, I need to get a boyfriend." "Fine, let's see if we could get one here at the club.""Kathleen, are you crazy? How could I pick just some random boy?" "Oh! Do you want to pick the one you know?' "I haven't..." Her phone rang that minute, it was from Jeffrey, Jeffrey happened to be one of their friend, the only guy among the two girls, his father is a retired general, but the family is into textiles as well, and they are also wealthy. The rich always mingle with the rich, she picks the call. "Hey Jeff, why are you calling late?" "Where are you? The music is too loud.""At the club, are you back?" "Not really, but I am sure I will return by next week, so what's up with the club?" "It's fine, just want to hang out with this naughty Kathleen." "Say hi to her!""Don't worry about her, she doesn't need one." Jeffrey laughed at Barbara's naughtiness, her naughtiness and bravery were some of the things, that attracted him to her, even though they were just friends, he had bottle Feelings for her unknown to Barbara, the night Derrick asked her to be his girlfriend was the same night he had planned of telling her, his feelings but he didn't push through because he saw Derrick kissing her and she seems so in love with Derrick he just let his Feelings at Bay while Barbara on the other hand just see him as her big brother."So when are you coming back?' "By next weekend, I should be back." "Alright, hope to get a treat from you. You should know what I want.""Of course, anything for my baby, I better go before you spoil my eardrum""Bye, love," Barbara said as the line died off. "Naughty Jeff." She raised her head only to see Kathleen smiling like an idiot. "Hey idiot, what's up with the smiling?" "Why look for a boyfriend, when you already have one?" Barbara looks behind her and then looks at her. "Jeffrey!""You are crazy, very crazy to think that.""Come on, Jeff is a very handsome man, he has money, and he is the CEO of Tian's Textile Corporation.""Kathleen, just keep quiet if you don't have anything meaningful to say.""But...""He is like my brother, and telling him to act like my boyfriend is going to make Claudia laugh at me, you should know that no one will believe me if I introduce him as my boyfriend, just think of something meaningful." "Fine, I give up." She said but her eyes were still on her phone. 'What the hell is wrong with you?""Nothing, I am just looking at my lovely crush." "You crazy idiot, you crush on anything handsome, you don't even know what you want in your love life." "Whatever, love is a waste of time, just go on and enjoy yourself, like a one-night stand." "If you don't shut up, I will pierce a knife down your throat." "Whoa! I just got an idea." Kathleen yelled making Barbara look at her. I just saw some ads!" "About what?" She pushed the phone to her front, Barbara's eyes bulged out as soon as he saw it."An Ad for renting a boyfriend.""Yes!" "Are you crazy?" "Nope! This is the best option or do you have another? ""Not really but I can't bring just anyone into the family. What if they are spies or even swindlers?" "Let me be, if you don't want to take my advice then let me enjoy the club." Kathleen stands up from Barbara. "You should go through it while I dance away my sorrow." she walked into the dance floor with one of her numerous crazy dance steps. Although Barbara didn't go through the Ad, she collected the site, just in case there is a need for it but definitely, she is not buying that she is not going to option for one, not now, not in the future but never say never. Barbara lies lazily on her luxurious bed, she is tired from the nightclub, and her Telecom ring, and she struggles to take it. "My lady! The dining is set, Master Calvin is there, and the other members of the family." "Oh please, just tell Dad, I will skip, so tired." "Right away, my lady!" Fiona was in a
Three days after the conversation Kathleen had with Barbara, Barbara didn't give her feedback nor did she contract the agency. And the party is just two days from then, she is busy attending to one of their customers when her phone ping. "Your dress is ready ma Barbara." That was the message, she looked at it and then blinked. "What dress? When did I... Shit! I forgot. Barbara, what have you done?" She forgot about the whole ball, if not that she had gotten that message, she would still not remember. I will have to fix this with what Kathleen suggests. She tries to find it. "Where is it? Shit! Barbara, you deleted it." she realized she deleted it, as soon as she got off the phone with Kathleen. "Shit! I will just call her."At the first ring, Kathleen takes the call. "Kathleen, do you still have that ad?""I thought you were not interested." "Oh please, let me have it." "Didn't you read that, they don't place orders two days before the event?""Shit!" She curses under her breath
"I never knew about that part, so we should put it in part of the curriculum, that all ladies shouldn't fall for the boss." "That will be a good idea, just let the HR know about it, so we don't keep throwing our money on idiots that are supposed to work not flirt.""Dante!" "Just shut up!" Jayden kept quiet, pushing it further would only make the two argue, he walked towards the car as soon as the elevator stopped. "I will drive!" Jayden is aware that Dante loves to drive himself, and the man loves to move at his Pace, even if the drive would have been faster, if it's done by another, he will still think, that it's too slow. The drive there was fast making them arrive on time, as the two walked into the restaurant all eyes were on them. "She is not here, what does she take me for? A jobless man who is ready to play romance as a job." "Dante!" "What now?" He grabbed a sit, making him relax himself, Jayden looked at him. "What now?" "Why did you even wear a jeans and T-shirt?
"She is my worst enemy." "What do you mean by worse enemy?" "The girl at the beach." "Whoa! Did she remember you?" "Nope! She is so crazy, she needs a boyfriend for rent and she thought I was the one, the agency pick for her." "What?" "Yes, she said her name is Chia-Ling." "What did you tell her?" Dante looks at him. "Go on." "What was I supposed to tell her?" "That you are not the one." "Hell no, how do I make her cry for ruining my face?" "Will you stop it, she did nothing to you." "Of course, she did a lot of things and stopped nagging me because She was attending a ball with Calvin's family, I don't know what she had with Calvin's heiress but renting a boyfriend is her only option." "Did she say...""Nope! She didn't say, she is so arrogant and she even said she wanted to buy me what to wear." Jayden laughed at him. "It's not funny." "Of course, claiming to be..." Dante's eyes fall on another young man, who just arrived, he is wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, and
"What did you just say?" "I have to cancel.''"Are you kidding right? You fucking cancel at the very last minute.""I can, it's a deal and I am...""I will sue you and your agency for breach of contract." "Really? Do you think you can?" "Of course, I will sue your worthless ass and make sure, you don't work in any of the agencies again.""Go on and do whatever you want, it will be you being dragged on social media, the girl without a boyfriend, or being desperately in need of a boyfriend.""I am not desperate.""You are desperate and your arrogance drove your boyfriend away, that is even if you ever had one." "Don't judge me like that, you don't have an idea about me.""I know everything, you are very troublesome and arrogant and a desperate woman""What did you just call me?" He didn't reply, he ended the call, she called but he didn't pick up, for the tenth time, he just switched off, stream of tears rolled down her cheeks like her heart was broken again. "Damn! All of you?" She
"Get off the phone and stop talking nonsense." Barbara went straight to her dressing as soon as the line died off, if there was one thing, she loved would be to beautify herself all alone without the assistance of anyone. The dress is made of original white satin with a gold pattern of embroidery, on the top and bottom of the dress It's beautiful, Barbara loved the dress at first sight, it cupped her in the right places bringing her shape, not that she is overly fat or slim, she is just perfect, it had little opening at her cleavage, even though this is not her thing, she kind of like it. Meanwhile, Claudia is getting busy with her new dress she ordered right the very minute, she saw the dress delivered to Barbara, she wants to look super beautiful but her dress couldn't match Barbara's Mystic dress, Claudia is always jealous of Barbara that even her beauty, she sometimes doubt it.Claudia is a beautiful and intelligent woman but jealousy will never make her appreciate anything she
Earlier that morning, after Dante had gotten off the phone with Barbara, Jayden had been standing at the door, watching Dante on his crazy act again. "Stop staring, she deserves it, and doesn't worry about the agency, I got their back.""Is not about the agency.""Then is about what? Don't tell me, you are falling for the beautiful naughty girl?" "Whoa! So you admit she is beautiful." "I didn't say so, don't put words in my mouth." Dante stands from the couch. "Just give me the number, and I will go for her." "What?" Dante yelled and looked at Jayden. "Yes, I will go for her, she is going to get hurt and you know that." "Let her get hurt, after all, she hurt me." "No, you hurt her, you told her the obvious, that her boyfriend is going to cheat on her with her sister." "I said that it doesn't mean it has happened." "Of course, it has happened to Dante." "What?" Dante jumped from the couch. "Yes, I tried to find the information about Chia-Ling but then I just couldn't find any
"The next time, you use those accused hands of yours to touch me, I will so much make you armless, you should know that I don't need my dad to make you cry, so don't tempt me, just get off my life and live your loose life with my sister, you two look good together." She didn't want to battle words with this idiot, she had said her mind, so no need for more conversation, she took a few steps away from him but Derrick was an idiot, he pulled her hair with his hand, the pain on her scalp was all she could feel. "Ahh!" "You thought, you are going to get away from me, you are mine and I am going to make you worthless, I will show the world that you are nothing but a whore." Dante take a step with his clenched fist, seeing that wretch hurting Barbara before he could be making himself visible, Barbara hit him moving her legs backward when her heels shoe meet his private part, he free her, as he too struggles in pain, as soon as she gains her balance, she sends a punch right to his face ma
