Sold To Billionaire

Fest

New morning brings a new ray of hope for everyone but for Ashley every morning comes with a gift of torture. Last night Michael thrashed her senseless for not being able to eat like high-class people do. Was it her mistake that Michael hardly took her out to restaurants where she could see people and learn. Videos never really helped her. The techniques were simple but it was the confidence that she lacked. “She is a disappointment.” Michael had burnt it into her skull.

Michael had left for work an hour ago. Having nothing in hand to do, Ashley began watching cookery shows. She loved cooking. The only thing that made her feel that she is not worthless. 

DAN

A knock made him glance up at the door. Gabby was standing over there with a seductive smile. The tight black mini dress was hugging her in all the right places. She had a file in her hand tucked underneath her boobs causing them to spill out even more. Daniel knew what she was aiming at. Without giving a reaction, he nodded to her to come in. 

The dress was highly improper to be worn in the office. Daniel shifted his focus back to his laptop. Gabby became visibly annoyed because of his lack of interest in her but she was not going to give up just yet. “May I sit?” she asked him in her sweet voice. He turned to her and nodded absent-mindedly. 

“What is it?” he remained stoic much to her annoyance. “Ummm the file...I have made all the corrections so I thought you might want to go through it,” she dragged her sultry voice. He waited for her to leave the file on the desk but she held it out for him to take. He arched one of his brows in question and finally reached out to take the file. 

Gabby placed her hand on his the moment he grabbed the file. She was not subtle about it at all. He retracted his hand away immediately. Anger surged through him on her audacity but he kept calm. “Anything else?” he asked her while leafing through the file. Her smile faltered on being met with his cold behaviour. “ Umm...no sir,” she answered. “Then you can leave,” he commanded again without sparing her a glance. 

Disappointment crossed her feature. She got up begrudgingly and said “ Thanks for your time sir. Let me know if you need anything,” he looked up at her to see a glint in her eyes. He caught her innuendo very well.   

She swayed her hips in erotic manner while walking towards the door putting up a good show for Dan. He smirked and shook his hand. 

A few minutes later, there was another knock on the door. He looked up again in annoyance. But his expression changed into surprise when he found Mrs. Fischer, the president of the orphanage standing by the door. A smile adorned on his face when he asked her to come in. He stood up to greet the old woman. “Mrs. Fischer, to what do I owe this pleasure,” he quizzed while shaking hands. “Please have a seat” he gestured to the chair across him. 

“Thank you” Mrs Fischer replied with a smile on her face. 

“So, how is everything at the orphanage?” Daniel asked. 

“Well, a lot has improved thanks to you. You are really a nice human being”

Daniel waved it off and asked,“ So, what brought you here?” a genuine smile crept up his lips. 

At the question, Mrs. Fischer started rummaging through her bag and plucked out an envelope. 

“Every year we do a little celebration in memory of the founder of the orphanage.We let Children set up their own stall and sell artifacts or food made by them on this day. Some participate in dancing, singing, sports, and other activities. We have this celebration tomorrow and we wanted to invite you as a chief guest.” she finished with hope simmering in her eyes.
