Ep 7

Giselle: I understand about Shane's cost but I didn't know mine would be so expensive.....

She was frowning and pursed her lips.

Me: Shane had told me that Paul went down to your previous office to negotiate with your ex-boss... so this price is reasonable....

Giselle: but he charged me only $100 for the first invoice... so I was expecting this one to be around $1000+ .... $10k is really shocking...

She exhaled loudly and in exasperation

Me: didn’t you ask him about the price first?

Giselle: everything was so messy then and I made an assumption after the first invoice, it wouldn't be too much.... I should have checked with him for this one first....

Me: let me try to talk to him...

She shook her head.

Giselle: it's fine... I'll speak to him on my own....

Me: er... since I'm the one who introduced him, I'll help to pay half the amount....

Giselle: no... no.... it's my stuff.... you don't have to....

Even though I knew she didn't have the money to pay, there was a determined look on her face and I knew not to push my suggestion. I merely shrugged and nodded.

Me: ok then.... but if you need help, just let me know....

Giselle: thanks.....

She went into her room and closed the door.

A short moment later, i could hear her speaking on the phone. Obviously she was calling Paul.

I knew she did not managed to get him to reduce the cost because a few minutes later, I heard her making a few more calls to different people.

After 10 minutes, there was silence.

I made myself a cup of coffee, sat on the sofa in living room and waited.




Based on the the previous blackmail incident when she had sex with her ex-colleague, I suspected that if I offered to pay her to be my sugarbaby, she might accept the offer but that was not what I wanted. I wanted her to give herself to me emotionally so that Shane would feel the impact.

So I had to court her the normal way and try to win her heart.

However, I also knew that my chances would be next to zero since I was so much more senior than her. The only possible way for her to give herself completely to me on her own accord was through the plan that I had came up with.




5 minutes later, her door opened and she stepped out. She looked defeated.

She came over to the sofa and sat with me.

Me: settled?

She shook her head.

Me: let me speak to him....

Giselle: no Peter.... I don't want you to do that.... it might spoil your friendship with him....

Me: he's just a business associate.

Giselle: no... I don't want to go down that route....


If she didn't want me to speak to Paul about the price, I knew what she wanted and asked candidly.

Me: so how much do you need?.... half of it?...

She looked embarrassed to be asking me for a loan and spoke slowly

Giselle: er.... I need $8k.... if that's fine with you....

Me: ok... not a problem..... I'll transfer to your account....

Giselle: thanks.... I'll pay you back when I have the money....

I had picked up my phone but stopped and frowned.

me: are you implying that we need an IOU?

Giselle: no. that's not what I meant. but it's just that it is a lot of money and if you want to have a record that you lend me money, I'm fine to sign an IOU..

After getting to know her better for these few weeks, I knew that if I told her not to pay me back, she would reject my help and look for other alternatives. So that was not my objective.

Me: you have a 2 years contract to stay here... so we don't need any IOU... and you don't need to rush to pay me....

She frowned but did not reject my offer.

*ding*

I sent the money over to her from my internet banking.

She looked at her phone and opened her eyes wide.

Giselle: the amount is wrong.... I asked for 8k but you've sent me 10k.....

Me: If I didn't remember wrongly, you told me that you only have 2k+ left in your account... you'll need some money on your daily expenses... anyway, treat the extra 2k as your advance salary...

Giselle: but....

I got up from the sofa.

Me: I can't believe that you are naggier than me....

For the first time, she made a face that I had only seen her making at Shane previously but I wasn't complaining.

Me: go and settle your payment to Paul....

Giselle: er.... ok.. thanks.....

Before she went into her room, I stopped her.

Me: let's have dinner together later.... It's actually my birthday today...



30 minutes later, I was in my room when my phone buzzed.

*ding*

It was a watsapp message

Giselle WA: Sorry I didn't know. Happy birthday.

Me WA: it's ok.

Giselle WA: I've made the payment. thanks.

Me WA: you can just knock on my door. why the text?

She did not answer my question.

Giselle WA: whr are we eating later? I need to know what to wear.

I gave her the name of the restaurant.

Giselle WA: Wow. I'm too poor to treat you there... er.. since it's your birthday and I can still afford to treat you to an inexpensive place if you don't mind. haha.

She gave me the name of a family restaurant.

Me WA: haha. thanks but I prefer my suggestion for my birthday and I'll pay. Just having you to accompany me will be good enough

She did not reply for a good 5 mins.

Giselle WA: I'll be ready at 6.





6pm

I wore a short sleeve shirt and pants and waited for her in the living room.

She came out wearing a black dress. It was an elegant and yet sexy dress that showed off a little of her ample clevage.

I could also see that she spent a fair amount of time on her hair and make up. She looked absolutely stunning.

Me: wow. very nice.

She blushed.

Giselle: thanks

I noticed that she was holding a pair of high heels in her hand and realized that she had been keeping all her shoes in her room. It suddenly made me curious to find out what other shoes she had and decided that I would try to find out soon enough.

Me: let's go.....

We went to MBS. Even on Monday, there were lots of tourist but I had already made a booking.

We had our dinner and a glass of wine after that.

I shall not bore you with the details about the dinner but I brought her up to the skydeck which she had not been before. She was mesmorized by the scenery.




9pm

We reached home and after I closed the main door, I turned around to face the house.

She was blushing when she gave me a peck on my cheek.

Giselle: sorry, I didn't buy anything but take this as your birthday gift.... and thanks for the dinner.... I had a great evening....

With that, she turned and hurried into her room.

I wanted more than that but I just smiled to myself as I knew that my hard work was starting to pay off.
