Wild and Free

Chapter Forty One

Erika's POV:

Me and Eve continued to steal glances at each other as the Owners talked. I was so happy to see her again and wanted nothing more than to run over and squeeze her as tight as I could. The leash though. It wouldn't allow me to do that and I really didn't feel like getting my ass beat in front of her.

I thought I'd never see her again! I hope I can maybe talk to her and make friends so we could text again. Just can't let Samantha find out.

"Fair enough. We'll get started on the details tomorrow. For now, your downpayment?" Samantha said. I forced myself to now focus on what they were saying without looking like it. What downpayment? What is this brat's job anyways?

"Yes of course. I'll pay using her" The man said, pulling Eve forward. Samantha stood up and I hesitantly followed. She pushed me over to Eve with a disapproving look on her face.

"Put your bracelet against her collar baby girl" He ordered her. Eve scowled, But raised her arm and did what she was told.

"Master. The transaction was successful. $2,400,500 was deducted from your account" She just rattled off what her collar told her. He nodded then shook hands with Samantha.

"Thank You. I'll get to work on it straight away" He said. He turned and opened the doors to leave. Eve gave me a sad look and followed him before her leash could become tight and the result end in her being shocked for slowing him down. I watched her leave, then felt my leash being tugged. I turned around to face Samantha, who was sitting back at her desk. She was still looking at me though.

"You were a good girl. Props to you for that. And your reward can be anything you like. Within reason of course. So don't ask stupid things like 'escape method' or something" She said. I frowned and thought for a moment.

"Can I have two? Please?" I asked. She laughed and closed her laptop, grabbing some folders and tucking them away into her desk.

"What have you done to deserve two rewards Erika?" She replied, walking over and unclipping my leash. I shrugged.

"I graduated from that awful school you decided to send me off to. Come on please!" I said, following her into the kitchen. She paused to tap some stuff on her phone, then continued in. I paused just outside the doorway, waiting for Siri to tell me I wasn't allowed here. Nothing happened. Must of turned it off.

"Is that begging i hear? You never beg. Is this the part where you claim you'll do anything?" She said in response, opening the fridge and pulling out some leftover pasta. She took off the lid and put the medium sized bowl into the microwave to warm it up. I frowned again.

"Er..Yes? Please. Just two." I promised. She snorted and focused on the numbers counting down on the microwave.

"Fine. Just two. What are they?" She asked. The microwave beeped and she opened it up quickly, placing the now hot bowl onto the counter. I smiled.

"Well for starters I wanna be able to talk to Eve again. You guys are business partners or something! Please!" I pleaded as I followed her into the dining room. She set the bowl in the middle of the table and sat down. I took the floor.

"Why are you so obsessed with that Eve girl? Know what. I'll think about it. What's your other reward demand" She said, shoving a forkful of pasta into her mouth.

"For my new birthday I get to have junk food" I was practically salivating at the thought of being able to eat chocolate again. I fucken loved chocolate.

"Hell no." She said immediately.

"But—" I didn't even get a chance to protest. She gave me a level one shock.
