Chapter 7: Second meeting
[Hello?]
Kalea bit her lower lip, she closed her eyes for a moment. “Hello.”
[Hey, it hasn’t been three days since you called me. Did you agree to our contract?]
“Yes,” replied Kale shortly. She held her dizzy head.
[Then I need your account number]
“Uh ... wait a minute.” Kalea took her bag, which was on the bed. After that, she read out her account number to Arthur.
[Did the money come in?]
.....
“Eh? That fast?” Kalea asked, a little surprised. She heard the sound of laughter, so politely entered her ears.
[You can check it if you don’t believe me]
Kalea immediately checked on her bank app. She gaped at the nominal that had just been sent by the man. “A-a hundred thousand dollars?! A-are you sure the nominal amount is not wrong, Uncle?” Kalea asked, still in disbelief.
[No, that’s correct. I will give money once a month. I’ve also prepared an apartment unit for you, and don’t call me Uncle anymore!]
“A-alright...” Kalea whispered, still looking at her phone screen. She had never had that kind of money at all, and now she would earn it every month.
[Is there anything else you want?]
“N-nothing, this is more than enough. Thank you very much, Arthur,” Kalea said sincerely. She felt like she was about to burst into tears.
[Then I will schedule when we meet again. See you later, Baby]
Kalea’s body got a little goosebumps when Arthur called her with such affectionate nicknames. However, her relationship with the man has now become a reality and she can’t help but do what Arthur wants. “S-see you later, Arthur,” she replied. She was still very awkward with the man.
[Daddy, call me daddy]
“... Daddy.”
[Wow ... that sounds cute, haha. I’m closed, bye]
Kalea took the phone away from her ear. She grimaced, today she went through so much that she had to agree to a contract with that man. Kalea looked at her messy room, her face was so sad. Even though her account was full of money, she still had doubts about the work she was going to do. However, what can she do? The restaurant where she works is sometimes late in giving salary, even being an assistant lecturer the wages are not much.
Maybe if she was alone or her mother wasn’t mean to her, everything she’d been doing would not be lacking.
Kale took a deep breath. She had to clean up her room. Not to mention her body is injured and she must be treated.
On the other hand, Arthur smiled with satisfaction after Kalea contacted and agreed to the contract. He grabbed a cigarette, lit it, and smoked it. Honestly, Arthur was quite interested in a girl like Kalea. He did not feel a loss if he spent his money on such an innocent and obedient girl. Yes, Arthur already felt that Kalea would obey him.
Arthur glanced at the woman he had just slept with. The woman lay on the soft and luxurious bed, not wearing a single thread on her body, looking satisfied with having played with Arthur. The man has made up his mind that even though Kalea is his sugar baby, he will still play with any woman.
***
Kalea went through the day as usual. She didn’t really use Arthur’s money for extravagant or insignificant things. Her behavior seemed normal, giving her mother alcohol without overdoing it. To the extent that she earns a salary from her two lawful jobs, she will keep the money from the man without touching it at all unless it is an emergency. Kalea didn’t say anything to Zeline either, she wasn’t ready to tell anyone yet. And the blonde girl never spoke to her. Kalea thought that Arthur hadn’t told Zeline either.
When Kalea had just finished class, her phone rang. The girl panicked a little, not expecting Arthur to suddenly contact her. She stepped away from the crowd to pick up the phone. “Hello?” Kalea whispered quietly, just in case no one approached or heard her.
[Have you finished class?]
Kalea’s brow furrowed, surprised. “How do you know?” The girl could hear laughter from the other end of the phone.
[Come here. I’m waiting in the apartment. We haven’t spoken again since our first meeting]
Kalea swallowed her saliva a little rough. Arthur’s voice was heavy and gave Kalea goosebumps. Her mind was far away. “W-where is the place?” Kalea asked nervously.
[I will send the location. Or do you want me to pick you up?]
“No need. I’ll just go there,” Kalea answered quickly. She didn’t want people to see her in a car with a stranger. Moreover, she always walked together with Aluna to the campus lobby.
[Okay. I’m waiting, honey]
Arthur hung up the call. Kalea still gets goosebumps when the man calls her affectionate. Really, did they need to do such a thing? Aren’t they not dating and have no feelings of love for each other? Kalea was stunned by her thoughts earlier. She would even give her body to a foreign man just for the sake of money.
Not long after Arthur had sent the location of his apartment, Kalea gaped when she read the name of the apartment. “Isn’t this the most expensive apartment in this town?” The girl mumbled until she covered her mouth. Kalea immediately prepared to head there in a hurry when Arthur messaged her again.
[Don’t be long. Otherwise, I’ll punish you]
She doesn’t know what kind of punishment she will get, but Kalea doesn’t want that to happen. To be honest, that Uncle scared Kalea a little.
Twenty minutes had passed, Kalea had arrived at the apartment that Arthur had sent. She gaped in disbelief because this was the first time Kalea had entered a large and luxurious building, like an apartment, which was now right in front of her. Kalea even looked at her current appearance, whether she would be kicked out for her shabby appearance.
Wait, Kalea just realized. During her first meeting, Zeline helped her appearance because she could be so charming in front of Arthur. Then what if the man saw her current self? There was no make-up and no nice clothes. Oh, no, Kalea didn’t have time to think about that! What if Arthur regretted making a contract with her and then broke the contract and withdrew the money that had been given to Kalea?!
Kalea bit her finger, hesitating half to death. She glanced at the building next to the luxury apartment, there were many shopping centers and other entertainment arenas around her. That’s right, Kalea had to dress up and use Arthur’s money to change her appearance. It’s still late, a bit of logical lateness might still be tolerated by the man. Kalea nodded as she clenched her fist firmly. She stepped into a salon that looked expensive.
First of all, she had to polish her face and hair. After that, buy clothes, just one. Only for the man who was waiting for her.
