I hate awkward silences and right now, that is what I am stuck dealing with. This Yuya woman is yapping on and on about how she has missed Kain and how he should have been in contact with her again while the three of us stand there in silence. I don’t recognise her at all, but I can only assume she is someone in the Entertainment business or from a wealthy family. I admit she seems attractive enough, probably Kain’s type. That thought has my stomach in knots.
However, it isn’t my place to tell this woman to leave or be quiet. I have barely got acquainted with Kain, and am nothing more than a guest in his home. Yet despite that, I can tell she is not wanted here. I glance between Drake and Kain but hold my tongue. If they want to get rid of her, then it is up to them to say something. Though I am guessing Drake is waiting for Kain’s orders.
As I glanced at Kain, I can see he seems to be getting somewhat annoyed with this wo

After Kain has gone over the contract, I am now fully aware that as a Companion, I will need to have at least one hundred ‘fans’ or clients before Kain will even consider promoting me for acting roles. I also don’t have to use my body in… ways that I am not fully comfortable with, so that’s a bonus. He explained it was to see if I would be popular enough with men and women before I could go on the big screen. It makes sense, in a way. You don’t want to put an unknown actor in your biggest roles.I only have two options. Either I accept the contract rules, or I give up on my dreams. I said I would do anything, and that means I can’t back out now. Well, I could, but then I would get Kain’s snarky remarks over backing out, and never have another chance again. So really, do I have a choice?There are other requirements and conditions that I need to adhere to, but most of them I fully expect from the jo

I still cannot believe Kain is going to buy me a whole new suit. Despite his generosity, I can’t help but feel there is going to be a catch to go along with the new suit. Drake drives us down the busy roads while chatting away to us, though if Kain is listening at all, I can’t tell. He makes vague sounds, but no proper reply ever escapes his lips. I can’t seem to take my eyes off of Kain. He’s just so handsome, even as he works hard on his tablet. The only time I am not in awe of him is when he opens that sarcastic mouth of his. That is when all illusions wear off, and I am left wondering who in the Outlands is in front of me. Drake finally pulls into a garage at the back of what I recognise as the largest shopping mall in the city. This seems to be a private spot, as very few cars have been parked here. Although part of me is surprised by this, another part of me is not. I allow my mind to linger on the questions of who

My new suit was a sight to behold. I had never seen such fine fabric in my entire life. I wanted to know the cost of such an outfit, but the only response I had gained from Kain was a hearty laugh and a sarcastic, “too much for you to afford.”We had waited for the tailor to finish any adjustments and then left to continue our couple of hours of shopping. It surprised me that Kain shopped like a regular person. Or as near enough to it as one could be when surrounded by fans from both sides.And every moment, he seemed to enjoy to the fullest. He loved the attention. The screaming women swooning over him. Even the men admired him and Kain paid their admiration back with friendly smiles, waves and playful winks.Was this the type of thing he expected everyone to put up with, even if they weren’t too keen on dealing with the public so much? This was the face I knew him by most of

The journey back to the apartment building was awkward as my mind still tried to process what exactly had happened. It was one thing for Kain to invest time in getting me new outfits to start my career, but it was a whole other ball game to have a new place to live that wasn’t shared between hundreds of other people trying to use the same facilities. I had grown so used to the poor life that I wasn’t sure I was ready to live on my own.On arrival, we took a detour to the main hall of the apartment building. The entrance was used by those who were not exclusive to the top floors. There, the receptionist handed me my personal keycard before letting us know that my stuff had been brought here already. I was curious how much of my stuff had actually made it here, or if they had even got the right room in the hospice.My room was on the floor below Kain, right next to Drake, apparently.Kain had left me and Drake to our own devices

“Pay attention everyone!” The loud voice startles me as I realise I’ve been daydreaming a bit too much this morning. I didn’t get as much sleep last night as I had hoped I would. At first, the silence had been too much, that it felt like I had gotten lost in the Outlands. That was until the sound of bumping and crashing started on the floor above me. The only apartment up there was Kain’s.I panicked at first. Not knowing if he was in danger or had fallen over. I was about ready to find Drake and go up to help Kain out… that was until the loud moans started. Confusion had filled my mind at first. Then slowly, I realised what was going on up there. Kain had a woman friend over and now I was paying the price.I tried everything to ignore it. To drown it out with my pillow over my head. Even tried to listen to my music with my headphones on. Nothing worked to quell the sound of Kain’s

It was as Skyler had expected. Kain had me in his office not long after lunch was over, rather than have me join in with the rest of the companions. This stirred up a lot of murmurs and whispers about me. They were curious about why I was treated differently from the other newbies here.Curious about the answer myself, I finally plucked up the courage and asked, “Mister Jones, why am I not learning with the other Companions?” I wait for him to reply, as he has his attention on his laptop as usual. The two of us are alone currently, which makes me anxious. Drake doesn’t seem to be anywhere near the office at all, making me wonder what he gets up to during work hours.The typing pauses, showing that my question has distracted Kain. I dare a glance his way, only to see him staring at me with a raised brow and a nonplussed look on his face. He sighs, closing his laptop and then standing

Finally, the day of long training sessions with Kain is over. My body is aching beyond comparison to all the exercises he had me do. Dancing, acting, even singing, he had me do everything, sometimes repeatedly. When he had said he would train me himself, he had not been joking. I knew he was capable of many acts as a man who once was a Companion himself, but today was utterly ridiculous.Even now, in the limo ride home, Kain is drilling me on everything I’ve learned today. All I want to do is sleep. How he has so much energy still is beyond me.A sigh from the man has me opening my eyes and glancing aside at Kain. I’m about to open my mouth to say something but Kain gets there first. “You’ve done well today,” he tells me and I think I saw him smiling at me, though by the time I blink and look properly, the smile has gone.“Thanks,” I replied quietly. I instinctively wait for him to make some kind o

A few weeks have gone by since my training with Kain began and although I still have a long way to go, I have learned how a Companion acts, talks and even walks from Kain. It almost surprises me how much he actually knows about these things. I want to say that he simply knows because of his status as the CEO, but the way he talks; it is as though he himself lived that life.I want to know more about Kain more than I ever thought I might. I just can’t figure out if this feeling of mine is purely out of respect or something more.All I have figured out so far is that whenever we’re alone, Kain seems to grow just that bit more gentle with me, that kinder, but as soon as Drake or anyone else is around, he goes back to his sarcastic and belittling quips.Allowing my thoughts to wander over the last couple of weeks, I lay down in bed, facing the ceiling. This new bed is enormous and very comfortable, but I’m still not used to t
