Chapter 8

"I'll relay your response to him" miss Lorelei seemed disappointed at Beatrix decision but Beatrix couldn't do anything about that.

As much as she wanted the money, she didn't want her name being heard because of a billionaire; "Just a night" she said to herself taking a deep breath.

"-Or would you like to tell him yourself?" miss Lorelei asked her. She knew Paxton would be completely disappointed and she didn't want to see that disappointed look on his face but it seemed like she would have to.

"No, it's fine. You do it. Besides, I don't have his number and the next time I want to see him, is during the sex night" she forced a smile pushing her chair backwards and she stood up.

"Goodnight" she said to miss Lorelei ignoring that she was disappointed and taking her purse, she walked out of the restaurant.

For some reason, she wished miss Lorelei had planned the meet up with Paxton. She wanted to see him so badly and also apologize for being tactless.

"I hope I'm not falling for him" she yelled at herself; he had been on her mind throughout her ride home and she feared that she might be into him

"That can't be" she said convincing herself that she was just thinking about him because she had hurt him and nothing else, she concluded going to bed.

~phone rings~

Paxton stood up from the couch and went to the wine counter to pick up his phone which had been ringing for a while now.

He had been lost in thought about his earlier experience he had with Beatrix. He felt bad and wished he could apologize and make it up to her in anyway that she wanted him to but she seemed like a strong one to get to.

"Miss Lorelei" Paxton said holding the phone up to his ears.

"G.. g... good evening Mr Lloyd" she stuttered, not sure how to break the news.

"Uhmm... why are you being hesitant and you're also withdrawing. I guess you didn't call me to hear me breath, spill it" he was becoming impatient.

Whenever miss Lorelei called him, it was to tell him about Beatrix and this couldn't be different. He wanted to hear it so badly even though his heart beat doubled because he was afraid of the outcome.

"It's about Beatrix" she finally spoke up

"Obviously woman! Let me hear it!" he couldn't control his impatience anymore.

"She made up her mind not to date you but she agreed to spend just a night with you" miss Lorelei broke the news and but on her lower lips, prepared for Mr Paxton to scold her out of anger.

Hearing those words broke Paxton's heart, he didn't expect her to chose spending a night with him; she didn't seem that easy to get a night stand from, he was really confused.

"Okay thanks... I'll think about it and get back to you" he said hanging up without waiting for a response from miss Lorelei.

Paxton dropped his phone lifelessly on the counter and reached out for a bottle of wine, he needed to get his feelings in order. He wasn't sure what she was trying to achieve by avoiding him but he'd have to step up his game to make her fall for him. Perhaps, she wanted to know how good he was in bed before she could date him, he thought within himself as he drank.

"Tell her to get prepared tomorrow, we'll have sex tomorrow" he said to miss Lorelei over the phone. He'd do everything he can to make her fall for him.

Beatrix woke up to her ringtone and she picked up her phone, she had gotten five missed calls from miss Lorelei.

Seeing the missed calls made her heart skip and negative thoughts found their way into her head

What if Paxton is still angry at her behavior the last time they met?

What if he bluntly refused that she agreed to have a night with him instead of dating him?

What if he decides to take back his offer?

What would be her fate? what about her dream of making money and leaving a comfortable lifestyle?

She jerked when her ringtone went off again; this time, it was Tyler and she felt goosebumps appearing on her skin

"Hey" she tried to suppress her nervousness

"Good morning... I think you overslept today again" he said and she immediately looked at her clock, it was almost 8am

"I'll be there soon" she said hanging up without waiting for a reply from him.

She was so done for and she knew it. If Paxton had changed his mind on the offer, her life was about to get tougher, she would be left with just her stripping job where she was the highest paid dancer but it wasn't enough for her comfort.

Just then a call came in from miss Lorelei and she immediately clicked on the green button without thinking. In as much as she was scared to hear what Paxton's response was, she was also curious.

"Good morning Beatrix" Miss Lorelei said. If only she knew how impatient Beatrix was

"Did you speak to him? what was his response?" she asked hurriedly, she sounded desperate but she didn't mind, she was.

"He said you should prepare for the sex this night. It would take place at his house" she said. Miss Lorelei's words brought ease to Beatrix, she had never been this happy.

"okay, thanks" she said hanging up

"Yessss" she jumped up and danced around happily, finally her dreams were about to come true.

Beatrix arrived at the coffee shop late and for the first time in her life, she didn't care about it.

Miss Lorena's stare had nothing on her and she walked boldly to the dressing room. Just as she was about putting on her apron, she was tapped from behind

"Meet me in my office now!" miss Lorena echoed and Beatrix nodded smiling, she had expected it but she had nothing to fear, she was more than ready to quit her job, her new life had just begun.
