It doesn’t take me long to find a couple of girls that look like they might enjoy my company. They’re not companions, but they belong in the entertainment industry too. They’re background dancers, so no one is too important that I’ll step on any toes by trying to court them. Seeing as Kain has been teaching me some dance moves, we have a few things in common to talk about, which helps me find an opening topic.
Outside of dancing, however, I’m not sure how much I want to get to know these girls. They’re nice enough, but I have zero interest in having any kind of affair with them. I wonder if they were hoping for that when I came up to them? Or maybe they’re glad that I’m not even talking about that kind of offer? It’s hard to tell since everyone seems to hide something tonight.
I noticed at first with that woman CEO but now I am seeing it everywhere I look. Bright cheerful smiles but glares whenever a back is turned… longing looks sent to those

Another party, another night of enjoying the attention of others. This time, however, I am a little more upbeat about the entire process. Drake’s help for the first party seems to have eased me into the process more. I understand now why Kain pointed out to join Drake that night. Even Skyler helped me a few days later, giving me some pointers on how to impress girls without coming across as creepy or desperate.This time, however, it is just our company here, as they hired us to entertain some special guests. Already Skyler has several men fawning over her, as do some others Kain brought here with us. I’m once more stuck beside Kain, but not alone. Several women are showering Kain with love and affection while a couple speaks with me.It has become common gossip now that Kain takes me everywhere. This little nugget of information seems to have sparked more interest in me, though I am not surprised at all. I knew right away that people

The sound of gentle waves lashing at the shore and the smell of summer trees fill my senses as I look upon the building before me in awe. This place is more of a resort for relaxing in my opinion, but apparently, we’re here for work and not a vacation. I have always known about the oasis of Krusas city, but I never dared to think I’d ever come near it. It is larger than any single body of water I have ever seen. There are small man-made places like fountains, but this is all-natural and a very popular spot for the wealthy.To make sure we’re not late for this meeting, Drake has brought all of our things to our rooms while Kain and I head straight to work. Kain gave him the rest of the day off, as this place has its own security and people aren’t free to come and go without proof that they are granted access to the building.“Who are we going to see, Mister Jones?” I ask Kain as I try to keep my focus. Though th

Joe led me through the hallways until we reached a room guarded by two powerful men on either side of the door. They had headsets on their head so that they could pass messages easily between themselves and whoever was on the other end. They were also wearing body armour and bulletproof vests for added protection. The CEO made sure that his daughter was adequately protected. They give Joe and me a wary glance before opening the doors to the room within. Before I can even process what is going on, I find myself tackled into a tight hug by someone not much smaller than myself. I just about manage to keep my balance as I blink in shock. This young woman isn’t a child at all, yet the way the CEO spoke of her seemed to imply she was. “I’m so glad you could come!” Her excited voice rings out as I try to process the whole thing in my mind. As I am trying to place who this girl is, she continues in her overly cheerful tone, “when

“How did things go?” Kain’s voice brings me back to the conversation as we drive home. Jane’s questions, along with Skyler’s when I first started, keep going through my mind. I’m no more aware of Kain’s plans for me now than I was back then. Even with him opening up to me and no longer offering me harsh or sarcastic remarks, he hasn’t told me why he wants to train me personally when he has no reason to do so.“They went fine,” I replied. I look out the window of the car for a moment, lost in my thoughts. I know Kain wants to know everything, especially if I think we can use Jane to help both of our positions, but I just don’t know what to tell him. There’s the truth, which he may not be happy with, or in a more likely situation. He wants to use her curiosity about him and me, to get further into her father’s business and win them over.If that is the case, Jane would be

Another month, and another trip out with the company. At this point, I am getting used to all the outings I take part in as a Companion. Although my anxiety over Kain and his reasoning have not vanished, I have come to terms with the fact that he has my best interest behind all of what he does. My fanbase has grown little by little, and Kain has fed me some tales to tell Jane to get her to spread my name among her group of friends and interested parties.So far, all anyone knows is that I will be worth the wait when all is revealed. That bit of information had Jane on the edge of her seat. Knowing that Kain has something big planned for me, and she was the first to be made aware of it? That gained her support, as she now knows she’ll be the first one to get the information from us. I understand why she wanted to know now. Her mother’s company is all about reporting the latest news about rising stars. I knew her father’s job was marketi

As I make my way outside, I take in a nice breath of fresh air. I won’t be able to slip off as easily as this in the future, so I want to make the most of my freedom while I can now. Everyone inside is still enjoying themselves since none of us has to work for our supper tonight. We still need to mind our manners, but everyone is getting drunk and having a good time. Except for me. I’m not unhappy with my progress, but I wanted to act or sing. So far, I have done none of that outside of training. Kain says it might be requested from fans, but so far that hasn’t happened. To say I am disappointed would be an understatement. Still, I put my trust and faith in Kain, so I have to remind myself that this will all pay off in the end. I can’t let Wulf’s words bother me. I place my hands on the railing of the balcony that leans over the hotel’s garden below. It is too dark to see much of anything out past a certain point, but the fountain is easily spo

“Sorry Malak, but Liam here is under a very strong contract with me. Find yourself another boy toy,” Kain tells his rival sharply. I’m almost too dumbfounded to notice that he just said my name, but before I can get a word in edgewise, Kain is once more possessively pulling me closer to him. Cursing myself, I can feel my whole body growing hot and bothered by his action. I want to pull away, but I can’t bring myself to move.“If I wanted your opinion, Kain, I would have asked for it,” Malak retorts, though he seems to keep his cool, offering Kain a cheerful smile. The two seem to know one another on a much more personal level, but I don’t have time to go through my memories of everything Kain has done or gotten himself involved with over his many years as an entertainer.Kain’s nose wrinkles. A clear sign Malak has him irritated, though he too, holds a charming smile towards Malak. “I’m

The entire world still seems to swirl around me, even as Kain leads me down the hallway. I’m pretty sure he is taking me home, though I can’t see exactly where we are going. I’ve drunk far too much, so now everything is a hazy fog. If Kain is angry with me, he doesn’t voice his opinions, not that I could hear him complain even if he had. The small sleep in the car ride wasn’t enough to sober me up, but I imagine I’ll hear no end of this Monday morning when I get into work.I just hope I didn’t say or do something I’ll regret when I am sober. Who knew the drink they were serving was so potent? And the amount I consumed could probably make an elephant drunk. On the plus side, I think I made a lot more friends by drinking with people? Either that or I royally embarrassed myself and they were just mocking me?All I know is that this night is finally at an end and I’ll leave the whole thing behind
