Chapter 3 A Tempting Proposal

Yenna's point of view

I wanted to get angry and upset with Jacob, but I couldn't, rather I had too much fun with his proposal, who in his five senses would pay to have a sugar baby and more at 30 years old, just to make his ex-wife jealous, and even more incredible with a woman as simple and classless as me; The only thing I regretted about that afternoon was that I didn't have the job interview, my obligations were choking me, my sick mother was waiting for money in her village to support my two little brothers, and surviving in this huge city was expensive.

I went to my small apartment, I had to rest to work in the restaurant, there I did double shifts to earn some money, the crazy idea of looking for a better job always crossed my mind, but in all of them I was rejected, in Jacob's company it was not the first rejection.

I checked my email out of sheer curiosity, there was nothing, it was idiotic to think that he would send something, when I was about to close the inbox, a message that came from Jacob's mail.

<<Subject: Sugar Baby Contract>>

I opened the email just out of curiosity, but I couldn't help but smile out loud as I read the terms and conditions of the contract, one more stupid than the other, but it didn't matter, that's how the rich were, they didn't have the slightest idea what to do with the money; Nicol opened the door and ran out when he saw that I was laughing. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and looked down at the laptop.

"What's that?" What is it that makes you so funny?

"A contract to be a sugar baby," I replied amused, while still incredulous as I read.

"Oh no friend if you don't want to, I do, well I imagine it will be an old man of 70 years, but that doesn't matter, as long as we have the life we need, whatever, let me see" my friend did not stop reading and every time she did, she became more interested. His eyes widened as he read the large sums of money.

"It's not a 70-year-old man, it's Jacob, Julius's friend, the men from the other night," I said as she put her hand to her mouth in complete surprise.

"What?" You are crazy? What are you waiting for to say yes? I'm not interested in how they met, but what I'm reading is perfect, you shouldn't have intimacy with him, I would, this one that is part of the good, plus it's a jet set in the industry, one of the most sought-after mature in all of New York.

"Yes, but I don't like those things, you know, I'm very young, but I always want to achieve my goals on my own, I don't want to have a man who gives me everything

"But it's a job honey, you're not being supported, he's offering you a job, valuing your beauty, valuing how beautiful you are, I've always said it, you have the potential to be a high-class woman, plus it'll only be for a year, you can have whatever you want

I kept thinking about my friend's words, it was very difficult to be with someone who was only interested in you to make his ex-partner jealous, although the proposal was too tempting, I had not stopped thinking about him for a single minute during these two months, it was as if inside me, a lot of feelings had been harvested,  But he was an older man, but not only that, social class, and stigmas, marked gaps between the two.

"I'm not going to accept it Nicol, as much as I need the money, I'll tell you no right now" I was going to answer his blessed email, when my phone rang.

"Hello, Mom, are you okay?" I replied when I realized it was my mother's number.

"Hello honey, I'm not your mother, I'm your aunt, I'm calling because I don't have good news for you" in that instant the world collapsed at my feet, I imagined the worst.

"What happened, auntie?" Is it my mother?

"Yes honey, she was hospitalized seriously, but there is no money to pay for her treatments, I know that you are far away darling, that you send a lot now, but we don't know what to do with her

After about ten minutes of talking to my aunt and feeling like everything in my life didn't make sense, pressured by the situation and by my friend Nicol, I simply sent an email in response to Jacob: "If I accept that you are my suggardaddy and all your conditions, I will be attentive to comments"

That night I didn't receive any answer, I went to work, and in the spaces I had free I started to find out about the life of my future boss, in addition to being a man with fame, millionaire and charming, he was not 30 years old but 35, he very cynical lied to me, he was much older than me, but what mattered,  The only thing I was interested in was money.

Two days passed, and there was no response from Jacob, possibly the fake girlfriend contract was not true, I would no longer have a suggar daddy and much less money to send to my mother, I wiped my tears and decided to look for a job, besides, I already said that it was too lucky if it was true.
