CHAPTER 3- STUDENT BY DAY, STRIPPER BY NIGHT

Mia's college was big enough to not come across anyone who went to the strip club she worked in, but it was also not an impossibility, so she played it safe. Cameron on the other hand, did not care if she was recognised at school, the supermarket, or anywhere at that. Mia always believed that someone with Cam’s beauty would not be embarrassed if someone found out about her night job but it would even bring more customers to the club whilst she would be shamed for it.

“Come on, we are late!” Mia screamed as she continuously checked her phone for the time, “coming! I am here now, let us go” Cameron said as she ran out of her room and headed for the door where Mia had stood angrily for the past ten minutes. Both of the girls walked toward the elevator of their building and got into the parking lot where they got into Mia's car. “I am so glad one of us has a car,” Cam said as they got in.

“I could not imagine us running for the bus when we are running this late,” she added. Mia scowled at her acknowledgement for their being late, “so you do know that we are running late” she said as she drove out of the parking lot, “yeah…” Cameron said as she realised where Mia was headed with the conversation, “fine, I am sorry. And I know you do not want me promising that it will be the last time because we have all seen how that went the last time I have been saying that” she said.

Mia smiled and shook her head at her friend as they drove into the road. Mia was a business major whereas Cam was an accounting major, which made them have a lot of classes in common, they had so many things in common which was why the friendship between them blossomed easily. As the girls got out of the car and walked into the building, they were almost hit by an incoming car at full speed. “Hey watch it, jerk!” Cam shouted.

The driver of the car had hurriedly stopped by the road after he almost hit the girls. Cam was still raging with anger, and so was Mia but both girls became dumbfounded when the person stepped out of the car, it was a dashing man in a three piece suit, he looked extremely handsome, and his put together look made him even more attractive in the crowd of jean- wearing students. His hair was gelled back neatly and it made his eyes have more attention.

“I am really sorry about that. I was in a hurry and did not think to slow down when I saw your car, I promise that I did not see you both coming until you came into view until it was too late” He said. He was speaking, but his words did not seem to reach Cam’s ears, she had gone mute since he got out of the car. “Hello, miss? Are you okay?” He said again. Mia knew that it was time to interrupt, “we are fine, thank you” she said as she went to her friend's side, “come on, let us go” Mia said.

“No, I have to take you to the clinic at least. I need to make sure that you are completely fin” he said. “No, thank you. We are late and we have to go” Mia insisted as she pulled Cam’s arm for them to leave. “So you would rather go early for a class with a probability of being injured than go late for a class after a clinic checkup?” he asked as he locked his vehicle and walked quickly to catch us with their pace. “Like she said, we are fine. Now please let us leave” Cam said.

“Someone finally regained their voice” Mia said to Cam as they walked away, “mhm” Cam said and giggled. The man reminded of the one she met at the club, they looked different yet similar, “it is probably the put together look and the same brown eyes” she thought as they walked into the building for their first class of the day, which they had together. As they made their way to their usual seats, they talked some more about the man in the driveway.

“He is so hot. I mean uh!” Cam said as she stared dreamingly at the roof. “Yes, and he also almost killed us. Plus, we do not even know who he is. He looks a little too old to be a third year student and also too young to be a professor” Mia said. “Hello, there are other students here besides third year students. Plus, some people finish school early and he could be a teaching assistant” Cam said. “Yeah, that makes more sense,” Mia said as she nodded in agreement.

“Actually, I am none of those things you both just guessed” a voice said behind them. When they turned around, they were surprised to see the man from earlier, “what are you doing here now? Are you stalking us?” Cam began to say, “Cam, calm down” Mia said as she tried to calm her friend down. “No, I will not calm down. You know they always say that psychopaths are handsome and they were right. You may be handsome but that does not give you a right of passage to stalk young college students” Cam said.

They bell rang and interrupted the confrontation, a young man came to the stage and began to speak, “ Good morning everyone, I am your TA and as we all know this is a newly added course and we are beyond thrilled to announce that we got one of the best of the best to be willing to take the time out of his extremely busy schedule to teach us here for one day every week for the next few months. And as he promised, with time we might get to see him even more than once” he said.

“Oh, I am sure it is one old multimillionaire with a degree that will try to make us feel like money is not everything while he has millions of them burning a hole in his pocket” Cam said. Both girls giggled at Cam’s statement and a throat cleared behind them. “Now let us welcome Mr Angelo Ivanov of the famous multi- billionaire group of companies, the Ivano group!” The TA said.
