C5 Spending, Debt, and Temptation

And so I went to the mall. Since I was going there with a basically unlimited credit card, I placed a budget on myself. Because I’m now poor again after buying the plane ticket and the taxi ride, I have nothing except the clothes that Tina disregarded as 'trash'.

If there’s something I think is good about myself, it’s the ability to value what I

have and recognize what it took to get those things.

When I entered the mall, I saw so many stores! The place where OmniBeauty

HQ was located was in a mega rich place. So many celebrities lived in this area

and, to no surprise, the stores were the best.

Designer stores were lined up alongside each other like it was nothing.

I entered the nearest one. It was Louis Vuitton. I walked in the store and it was

filled with dress shirts, polo shirts, T-shirts, and more.

I walked around the place for a short while before placing my eyes on a comfy

looking grey sweater. I didn’t even look at the price, because if I did, then I’d be

too embarrassed to buy anything.

I went to the counter and the girl looked at me with a funny look.

“You don’t look like you could buy this piece of clothing, get lost you commoner”

is probably what she was thinking.

She rang it up and I paid with the credit card Tina gave me.

After she put the sweater in the bag, I moved onto the next store.

Next door was Gucci. I walked in and I noticed that their signature colors were green

and red stripes.

I picked out a belt and jacket. The belt had a red stripe in the middle and green

stripes on either side of the red. Then it was outlined in black leather. And to top

it off, a big gold logo for Gucci was on the front. The jacket was leather and had

the same color scheme.

I went into Burberry and looked, but didn’t find anything.

This mall was too much! I just wanted a normal store.

After searching for a while, I found some black jeans in a store next to the mall. It

was a cheap place and I got the jeans for $10. But they still looked good.

I got a few more jeans from the store and went back to get joggers from Psycho

Bunny.

I finished gathering nine outfits and headed back to OBHQ.

When I reached the top floor, I put away all the clothes I bought and totalled up

the amount I spent. I looked at the receipt and almost cried due to the sheer

amount...

‘I’m never going to pay this much back. My life is over. I’ll be a slave for eternity.’

All around, I spent about $10,000.

Tina soon came back and walked into my room without knocking and startled

me.

“Please knock before you come in, so I can have time to gather myself at least.”

“Oho? The guest is ordering around the master of the house now?”

“No, just requesting.”

“You afraid of…” She walked closer to me and closed the distance like it was

nothing. She was wearing a pantsuit, but it didn’t keep her bust hidden. “Getting

caught?”

“Caught about what?” At first I was a bit flustered, but when she asked the

question, I got confused and didn't know what she was inquiring.

She leaned in closer, her arms on either side of me. She got so close, her lips

were almost on my ear and she whispered, “Something errotic.”

“...” My face burned. That’s too much! To a guy too!

I regained my cool and spoke as clearly as I could. “N-no.”

“Oh. You’re no fun.” She backed away and sat on the bed.

“So, how was work?” I asked.

“It was tiring. Don’t become a CEO. You’ll grow grey hairs before you know it."

She was looking up at the ceiling while saying this.

“Pfft!” I tried to suppress my laugh, but failed.

She looked in my eyes and asked, “What’s so funny?”

“It’s just.. I find it amusing… haha that I dyed your hair silver, and you’re saying

you’ll get grey hair haha.”

“I guess it is funny from your point of view haha.”

We both laughed for a short while before she stopped and asked a question.

“How was the mall? What did you get? Give me the receipts.”

If my mood was light before, it got extremely heavy after she asked for the receipts. I saw my fate set in stone.

“Ah, so many questions. The mall was luxurious. I got 9 outfits as you requested,

and you’ll see them on the receipts I’m about to give you.”

I handed her the receipts I gathered to calculate the cost and handed it to her.

She took them and replied, “If that’s too many questions, what’ll you do about the paparazzi?”

Then she looked at the receipts with a small smile.

“You have good taste in fashion. Even though some of the clothes you got were not designer, they’re doable.”

“Huh? Well, I thought it’d be wasteful to get all designer clothes, plus it’s not my

money…”

“Wow. You’re so considerate! Most people would go crazy when handed a

platinum card with an almost unlimited balance.”

“I’m not most people, and I was thinking about the debt I owe now.”

“Hm, it’s only $10,000,” she said with a straight face. Meanwhile, I was about to

die from shock.

“ONLY $10,000?!?! THAT’S A LOT OF MONEY!!”

“No need to shout. I make about that much per day.”

“...” My jaw would have fallen off had it not been connected to my

temporomandibular joints (TMJ). It’s what connects the jaw to the skull.

“You’ll be able to pay it off in no time.”

“Really?”

“Yes. The pay you’ll receive depends on your performance. I’ll have you go to

every department and try out different things.”

“Yes ma’am. When does work start?”

“Tomorrow. Now, let me see the outfits you chose.”

“But you know them already.”

“I don’t know the combinations you’ll wear and what they all look like.”

“Okay. Can you wait out in the living room?”

“Sure. Don’t take too long.”

“Okay.”

In my opinion, I was a pretty fast changer. I got two pieces of clothing, which

were black jeans and the Louis Vuitton V neck sweater. It was grey. I then wore

the Off-White industrial tape black shoes.

I walked out of my room about 30 seconds after Tina walked out.

She looked at me.

“Not bad at all. Next.”

I went back and changed into the Gucci jacket, belt, grey jeans, and the same

shoes.

“Not bad. Next.”

I went back again and put on black joggers, a black t-shirt, black Yeezys and an

unzipped black bomber jacket that I found in one of the shops.

I went out again.

“Is all of the clothes you bought grey and black?”

“Not all. I have white too.”

“Let’s see it.”

I went back and put on a white outfit from Gucci, Psycho Bunny, and

Ermenegildo Zegna. Once I finished, I went outside.

“Hm…” She looked deep in thought.

I stood there waiting for her next orders.

“Is there anything you’d do to modify these clothes?”

“Yes and no.”

“Explain.”

“Yes, because I think I can add more of my style to it.”

“Okay, and why no?”

“Because it’s not my brand. It’s not my fabric. I don’t think I have the right to

adjust and modify these masterpieces.”

“Oho? You think that far ahead. Very mature of you.”

“Thank you.”

Her eyes lit up as another thought came to her mind. As soon as I saw her expression change and a light flicker in her eyes, I knew I’d be doing something I wasn’t planning on doing anytime soon..

“Would you like to model?”

“Huh??”

“Why would I?”

“Because you look good in the clothes you’re wearing.”

“Huh??? How does that make any sense? I’d need to fit requirements to model.”

She moved closer to me, our bodies almost touching. She loomed over me.

“Oho? So you’re interested?” She said with a wicked smile.

“No, why would you think that?”

She fixed her posture and made some distance between us.

“Because. You said you would not meet the requirements. That being said, you

can only know that if you researched it thoroughly. Right?”

“...”

‘Psychologist.’

“I might have researched it before, but not for me.”

“For who then?”

“For someone.”

“Playing hard to get, eh? But if you want to pay off the price for your clothes faster, modeling is a good job to take up.”

“Won’t I pay it all off when I work for you?”

“But you won’t make money.”

“?”

“I said I’d pay you, but the money you spent was about 2 months worth of pay.

So you’d leave here with nothing. But that’s saying that your skill is worth that

much money.”

“... You predator!”

“It’s okay, my prey. You won’t regret it.”

“Fine. But only because the house bills are a lot of money for me.”

“Yay! We’ll start in a couple hours!”

“W-What? Come again?”

“A couple hours. We’ll need to leave now. Come come!”

“Yes ma’am.”

I dragged myself to the elevator and rode in Tina’s car to the photoshoot site.

During the car ride, Tina and I talked about a bunch of things. How to introduce

myself, what to do and what to not do, and how she’d call me.

“Grey. For the next two months, I’ll be calling you Shay, since you’ll be without contacts and looking presentable. Speaking of which, take off your glasses and contacts. Since they’ll know you as Shay.”

I did as she instructed and took them off. I always carried my contact lenses case and glasses with me. When I took them off, I put them away.
