Seducing Richard

《Prologue》

"Eva Valencia." The receptionist called.

That's my name.

I'm an escort but then I'm not an escort right? I mean if I establish an actual friendship with my clients I'm not, but then why are they paying for my company?

My phone rings in my handbag sometimes I forget I live in the age where our telephones are cellular and they could ring at any time.I still get scared by the sudden vibration and sound. Its funny because its not like I grew up at a different time.

I'm losing it aren't I?

"Hello?" I answer.

"Eva?" A female voice responds.

"This is she."

"Hey,it's Katie." How I manage to forget people's existence is quite weird.

"Oh hi.Whats up?"

"You have a new client." She says.

"And?" I really don't care

"You need to come to the office like yesterday." She announces.

"I'm on my way." I say.

I never argue with anything to do with work.If it's about my money then it's about my life.

"Ma'am,this way please." The receptionist directs me.But I can't go on with this I have to leave.

"Sorry miss something just came up and I have to go . I'll reschedule for later." I tell her.At least she doesn't press me for details.

"Oh,sure." She says with that practiced business smile.

"Thanks." I say and wink at her.I walk away and get to my car.

"Hey,Eva." Mrs Smith greets me. She's my boss and she's a woman with a husband in prison for battery, sexual harassment and abuse. He's not exactly the best choice but she's not so innocent either.He cheated on her with an escort and it sort of poisoned her marriage to him but she always says "And then I decided to make money out of the thing that ruined my life by training them the right way.Its better to be rich and comfortable than poor and uncomfortable but in love."
She amazes me.

Really.

"You wanted to see me,I understand that this is about a client?"

"Yes it is but this is a special case honey." She says.She sounds tired.

"Aren't they all?" I deadpan.

"You'll understand soon." Mrs S says.

"Katie send her up please." She says into the phone.

Her?

And the supposed her walks in with Katie. She's a beautiful woman . Green eyes,sandy blonde hair,small waist and basically hourglass figured.Her cheekbones are high.She screams confidence all over.

If I had a problem with my body image she would be who I'd want to turn into.

"Alley Moore meet Eva Valencia. You hand picked her for your own purposes." Mrs S says.She's done it so many times I'm sure she automatically becomes Mrs Smith the boss she needs to be around clients .She must have a sixth sense or just multiple personalities.

"I'm aware of that thank you. Hello Miss Valencia, pleased to meet you." Mrs Moore says and gives me those pathetic non sensible air kisses  women give when they meet on both sides of me.

"The pleasure's all mine Miss Moore." I say once she pulls away and offer her a smile.

"Mrs actually, I am Mrs Moore but lets just ditch the formality here, call me Alley. Its short for Allison." She clarifies. I really didn't think of it but now that she mentions it I'm still not grateful.
