justin

as soon as cambria walked in, i stood up. she shook her head, and sat on the bed. "we can't avoid this conversation. i saw something i want answers to or just assure me you're okay."

"you don't need to worry about me, we're just fucking. we're not even friends." she looks up at me.

"even though we're just fucking i still care about you. i don't objectify women so im not just going to treat like a toy. tell me what's going on." i grab her hand as i sit down. she snatches my hand away and stands up.

"im a whore." she says calmly, pushing my hand away from hers. "well, i was. my boss used to pay me to have sex with him until he just offered me a job. i didn't mind it, i was getting a lot of money from it, but then he kept wanting to fuck me and i wouldn't let him then he threatened to fire me and i need that job. it's the only job that'll hire me since i sort of have a criminal record."

it was a lot to take in, so i sat there. i wanted to say something but i didn't know what to say. "i-i need to go. i told him i was running to the store."

"no, wait." i say. "i don't care what you have a criminal record for but i want to hire you as my assistant. we don't have to continue having sex anymore."

"justin, i-"

"i won't take no for an answer. call him and tell him you quit."

"im scared to."

ive never seen her so vulnerable. she's always seemed confident and classy, and not scared to speak her mind. standing up, i pull her to my chest. "call him."

she sighs, and goes through her purse. "i wish i could stay with you longer but karmen is going to start questioning me. i want you at the office tomorrow, okay?"

"wait, can i stay here? at least for tonight? i stay in his second house that he never uses." she says, sitting on the bed. i nod, then kissed her forehead. "thank you, for everything."

i smile, before walking out. she gets under the blanket and i shut the lights off on my way out. as soon as i got downstairs, i got a text from her.

-i did it, and hung up

good, now get some sleep and i'll send you a car tomorrow so you can get your belongings. then you get to work as soon as you can

-thank you so much

you're welcome

cambria

i was embarrass to face justin after admitting that. that was something i was going to keep to myself, take it to my grave. that was something i was always embarrassed of admitting and i have no idea why i admitted it to him. he's someone i just fuck why would i ever admit that to him.

he had texted me and told me i can stay in the loft as long as i need or want to. when i had gotten my stuff over to the loft, i then got dressed and decided to go and actually face him.

when i got to his office, he was talking to his secretary. i walked up to them quietly, and smiled. "just on time." he winks.
