Chapter 2

Katie to the side ^^^

I look at my reflection and adjust my gray suit for the nth time before tying a blue tie around my neck. I glance at the clock hanging on the wall since I cannot be late. Escorting may look easy, but if I am not perfect in all kind of aspects, I will not only starve to death, but I will also not be able to afford the luxurious life that I am living now. I have to please my client, so she is willing to call me again, but I also have to also attract new customers.

Once I am satisfied with my appearance, I snapped my ice blue and platinum Rolex watch on my wrist before arranging my cuffs. Tonight, I am escorting a wealthy single lady, to a business party. Apparently, she has received a promotion, and she does not want to go there alone since it's embarrassing. Once she told me that, I immediately knew that she does not have any confidence in herself. She has to show how beautiful or how good she is to have some worth. Such a pitiful creature. However, it is because of people like them that I can thrive in a life of luxury.

Humans are so weak and pathetic. That is why I...

I groan not wanting to remember them. So, to change my mind, I shift my attention to the shoes I will wear tonight. Which one? The black cap toe will match perfectly with my dark gray suit. Nodding, I lift my arm to reach it before putting them on. I look at my reflection one last time before fetching my phone, wallet, and keys. I look at the clock and see that I have a little less than one hour to get to my client's house.

I use the elevator to make my way down and open the driver's door of my Tesla. Usually, I will not have taken it, but my client has personally requested that I use this car specifically. Well, I have to admit that she does have a great taste in cars and in men. On my way there, my phone starts to ring. I look at the ID and sees that it's Susanna. I don't bother pulling aside since my phone is connected to the car by Bluetooth.

"Susanna," I greet with a gentle tone that I know she likes.

"Micah," she answers with a small giggle.

"You seem in a good mood today," I chuckle.

"Because I can see you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" I trail the word, so it sounds like I have forgotten about our date.

She gasps, "Don't tell me you forgot? We have a date tomorrow!"

"How can I forget about that, I am only teasing you," I fake a laugh as I can see her pout with a faint blush on her cheeks.

"You're a meany."

"But you love me."

"That I do. Do you love me?"

I roll my eyes, "Of course I do," I answer as I arrive at the front gates of my client house. I insert the code, and the gates open for me. I slowly park my car in front of my client house and say, "Susanna, I have work. I'll come get you for our date tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay, I love you," she answers with deception in her tone.

"I love you too."

I end the call and sigh. Good thing I will be finished with Susanna this week. My relationship with her is becoming a little too lovey-dovey to my liking. I get out of the car and it automatically locks as I walk up the stairs that are leading to the front door. I knock, and a few seconds later, a woman opens the door for me.

"Hello, I'm Micah, Miss Kelly's escort," I present myself to her.

"She is waiting for you. This way, Sir."

She steps away from the door to let me through. I wait for her to close the door before following her into the mansion. This is my second time in here and as expected, nothing has changed. Everything looked sanitized and unused. Fake, everything about this house is fake, including the owner.
