Dan was finished with the contract in only less than half an hour. He kept on asking me few questions now and then while he was drafting the contract. He is now currently printing the paper.

"Here is it. Read it carefully. If you got questions just ask me." He said while handling me the contract. I started reading it.

I reread the contract. Act in love in front of the public. Does that mean Public Display of Affection? Expected to travel with or without notice? Where? Outside the country? I secretly hope yes. I never been into a plane before, most certainly not outside the country. I'm expected to accept things from him? What the hell will be buy for me? I'm also about to live to the place where he will choose? Well this sounds reasonable. I can't exactly go back to my place if it's surrounded with press. I just hope it is not so far from school.

"You expect me to stay faithful for one year?" I looked up and saw him watching me as I read the contract. 

"Yes." He said in an authoritative voice.

"That's fine with me. But I want to know if you will be faithful to me too?" The words were out before I noticed how unprofessional I sounded. Oh my. I blushed and silently cursed myself.

He looked surprised at my words but slowly gave me a smirk before giving me reply. "Yes, Red. I'll be faithful to you." My pulse accelerated. Shit. I badly have to control this. I looked down at the papers and tried to look for something to change the topic.

"Where will I live?" I asked. I hesitantly looked up and found him with smirk still on his face.

"I'll find you a nice apartment nearby." He told me.

"I can find an apartment, if it's OK." I don't want him to pick a good and expensive unit. I want to save my money.

"I don't exactly like your choice of place, love." He told me. What's with him and all his nicknames/endearments?

"It's not exactly your problem where I live."

"It is when you sign the contract." Yeah, right.

"Fine. But I don't want anything expensive. I want something that would cost only a few hundreds a month." I snapped at him.

His brows where drawn up together and studied me for a while. "I will pay the rent for you, Red." He said softly. Oh.

"You will pay me for being your girlfriend, and you will pay my rent?"

"Exactly." He gave me a smirk.

"But what will people say about that? I don't think people pay their girlfriend's rent. They will think I am your mistress or something." I told him. But mistress for this beautiful man? Oh my.

"I don't really care what the people will say." He replied. He doesn't seems to be bothered with my choice of words. In fact, he seems to enjoy it.

"But is it not why you hired me? Because you worry what will people say when they found out what you announced is not true?" I confusedly asked him.

"I hired you, because I don't want the people to think I am lunatic for inventing my relationship with a girl I only saw in a picture. To save my and my family's name. I will be the laughing stock for decades for sure." He laughed at himself. Boy this man laughs a lot. "But I do what I want to do. I don't need to explain to anyone my actions."

"Well, it will look bad for me. Not for you. You're the guy." I pouted at the thought. "Plus, you will pay me enough so I'll be able to afford a decent place." I pointed out at him.

"You will accept the apartment, Red. No questions." He said. "And it is not that bad. You are a student. I have enough money. The public will think that I just want to take care of you."

And here I thought I could negotiate? I pouted.

"Where are we going to travel?" I changed the subject.

"It depends. I have classes too, so the travelling is limited. I often go overseas when I have photo shoots. Sometimes, when I have a competition."

I am excited beyond explanation. It's my dream to ride on an airplane. Right. Hold it, Maddie.

"Okay. What are the things you're giving me?" I raised one of my brow at him.

"Oh just some stuff. You'll just see when it's there." He winked at him. I feel my knees starting to turn into jelly. Jeeez. Calm down, Maddie. He's practically your boss.

"How did you know my middle name is Allie?" I asked him. His mouth opened a little. He looked like a child caught doing something. Did he investigate on me?

"I did ask around." He replied. I knew it. Why would he ask me to enter into this contract without knowing me first anyway?

"Fine. I'll sign. Where's the pen?"

"No more questions?" He asked me, but gave me the pen at the same time.

"Nope." I took the pen from him and signed the contract. Oh my. I got a good job. Thank goodness. I almost can feel my eyes moistened because of happiness. I practically work 19 hours a day. I am not a complainer, but I'm desperate. No more nights of worrying where I'll get my rent and food. No more screaming aunts because I am late in paying for the mortgage. I can even pay my student loans.

"Good." Dan took the pen and affixed his signature on the contract. I sighed. This is it.

Dan finished signing the document and looked at me. I suddenly felt breathless. He have, in his face, a devilish smile. Oh my, what did I enter into.

"Now why don't we seal our agreement with a kiss, girlfriend?" I heard him say.

I blinked at him.
