"Gigi! My love, you look amazing." Zayn said as he got into the limousine and saw his most important client.

"Zayn, ugh. I missed you so much, come here!" She said and reached out for him. He hugged her once he closed the door.

They were on their way to one of Gigi's charity events. All Zayn had to do was look good and make Gigi look good. He would dress nicely, usually, in the clothes, Gigi would buy him and attend whatever event she needed and for that, he would get paid $350 an hour.

"How was school, my love?" She asked.

"It was fine. Same as usual. I was looking forward to tonight so I was just waiting for the day to end." He said and smiled. 

"Ugh, you're so sweet." She gushed and clung to his arm.

Gigi was Zayn's most loyal client, she would pay him to just make her company, she'd pay extra for Zayn to cancel on prior dates even. She really liked him and kind of wanted to keep him all to herself. 

But Zayn wasn't stupid and explained that this was his livelihood and she understood. She understood that to Zayn she was just a source of income, friends at best because they hung out so often but Zayn was clear about his boundaries.

That was until he needed her and she needed him, which was a rare occasion but it was enough for Gigi. It had to be mutual. And they both understood that, although Gigi always longed for Zayn.

She was an established powerful woman in Los Angeles who didn't care for dating. So when she found Zayn on the website she was siked. She was 10 years Zayn's senior but Zayn made her feel the feelings of a teenager.

At first, she knew Zayn would say and do things solely to please her but as the months went on, she confided more in him and developed an affinity towards the man.

"So, Geeg, how long is this event going to last?" Zayn asked.

"Do you have homework?" She asked.

"Yea, something like that. The teacher told us today how much our assignments are worth so I need to put in more effort." Zayn explained and she caressed his cheek.

"Aw, Zayn. You're the smartest person I know, I'm sure you'll be just fine." She said and kissed his cheek.

"Yea, I guess. We'll see. Enough about that, champagne?" He said and grabbed the bottle.

Once they got to the event hall, Zayn helped Gigi get out of the limo.

"Always so helpful." She smiled as she took his hand.

They walked into the brightly lit hall and Zayn admired the decorations. Beige silk curtains hung from the walls, which complimented the light blue painted walls. Fairy lights were hung on top of the curtains and chandeliers hung from the ceilings. 

Various ice sculptors were located where plates of finger foods were served meanwhile expensive wine was given out by servers walking around the room making sure everyone left that night with a little extra sparkle.

Jazz music filled the room as the band played live from the front of the room, on a stage. Meanwhile, people networked and got their pictures taken by the press.

This was all normal to Zayn, he's been taken to so many events that none of this was new. Instantly, though, Gigi took them across the room to meet people. She took any opportunity to show off Zayn.  

"Zayn, love, can you get me something to drink, please? I don't see anyone around serving, can you please tell them to start back up?" She asked interrupting a conversation with one of her donors.

"Right, of course." He said and kissed her hand. She simply smiled. When people saw this happen between them, they envied Gigi even more. She had money, she was powerful, beautiful, and she had someone like Zayn. Of course, they didn't know that Zayn was being paid to put on a show.

Zayn didn't mind though. He knew Gigi was different from the other rich snobs and so he worked right along to make them jealous.

He walked into the kitchen.

"Tommy! Mate, how've you been?" He exclaimed as he entered the kitchen.

"Zayn! Buddy, haven't seen you in a while. Told ya' to put in a good word for me with the missus." He laughed.

"Well, after she sees no one's serving the expensive drinks she bought, there won't be enough talking to save you," Zayn said and showed him the room full of sober people and no servers.

"Ay! Maria! Whatcha doin, ah? Get out there! All of you!" He demanded and the servers stacked their trays and one by one filed out onto the floor.

Zayn took two glasses and raised them to Tommy, "Take care of yourself, bud." 

After a few more hours of talking to people he would never remember, Zayn and Gigi left. They got into the limo and Gigi took her shoes off immediately and Zayn began massaging her feet. It was routine.

"Did you enjoy yourself today?" Gigi asked.

"Yea, it was pretty standard. But the decorations were beautiful, Geeg. You outdo yourself every time." Zayn smiled and she thanked him.

"Do you want to go to my place tonight?" She asked, putting her feet down and getting closer to him and he laughed.

"Nah, you know we can't do that." He said looking at her.

"You sure?" She asked and started taking off his tie.

"Gigi, please. Stop." He said putting his hands on her shoulders. 

"Sorry." She said as she got off him and they rode the last of the ride in silence.

Normally, Zayn wouldn't mind and would've given into her advances but he had another interest in mind. He didn't want to mess that up.
