Jackson paused in thought and said, “If it’s one-off, you’ll get ten thousand once. If it turns into a long term gig, it’ll be easier to negotiate the price. The general explanation is… I have a friend whose mother is hounding virtual-novel.net to bring a girlfriend home, but virtual-novel.net doesn’t want to get married so virtual-novel.net can’t do that. So he’s asked me to help virtual-novel.net find someone suitable to act as his girlfriend. It’s just an act. Body contact is a must, but it won’t reach any overtly intimate stages. You don’t have to worry about that. If his family doesn’t approve, then you’re done after one gig. If they approve, then the gig will continue. If you think the price isn’t good enough, you can negotiate as well.”
Getting paid ten thousand dollars just for acting like his girlfriend once? Tiffany agreed without a second thought, “The price is good enough. However, I’m going to make this clear, bodily contact has its limits. I’ll come after you if virtual-novel.net crosses the line.”
The pair immediately became good friends. Tiffany happily enjoyed virtual-novel.net meal, then went home to catch up on some sleep.
At five thirty in the evening, Jackson promptly gave virtual-novel.net a call and even sent virtual-novel.net a dress. It looked like a simple white shirt with stockings and a black mini skirt. The label was still on it, and the price made virtual-novel.net heart pound for a long time. It had been a while since virtual-novel.net had ever laid virtual-novel.net hands on something so extravagant.
She put on the clothes and realized that they fit virtual-novel.net very well, especially on virtual-novel.net waist and chest. The fit seemed to be tailored to the shape of virtual-novel.net body. The effect it had on the top half of virtual-novel.net body was really good. She liked it very much. However, virtual-novel.net would have to return these clothes, so virtual-novel.net didn’t dare cut off the tag.
Jackson scanned virtual-novel.net from top to toe when virtual-novel.net arrived downstairs. His eyes seemed to shimmer like starlight. He was clearly very pleased. “Get in the car.”
She casually slid into the co-driver’s seat. “Why are you picking me up? Are you coming with me to your friend’s house? Wouldn’t that be awkward? Give me some information on your friend. I’ll be exposed if I go there and end up not knowing his name. Do I need a fake background? For example my family background and so on? It’s got to be fictional and we have to agree on it beforehand. It’d be best if this could become a long-term gig, so I can earn more money.”
Jackson cleared his throat and replied virtual-novel.net with a serious look on his face, “No need to fabricate your origins. Everyone knows about you. As for my friend… You have all the necessary information on him.”
Everything? Tiffany was confused. “Have I met your friend? Stop being so secretive then, just. tell me who it is.”
“There’s no friend. Actually, it’s me.” Jackson had decided on telling the truth. He was going to have to lay his cards on the table sooner or later.
“Stop the car!” Tiffany jumped with fright.
Jackson immediately hit the brakes, but virtual-novel.net locked the car doors. “I’m not keeping it from you on purpose, I was just afraid that you wouldn’t agree. Now that you know, you’ve already agreed to it, you can’t turn back. So you’re going to have to go, whether you want to or not.”
He was going to drive virtual-novel.net crazy. Every time virtual-novel.net thought of his mother, Summer West, she’d become extremely nervous. She was still traumatized by how Mrs. West had threatened virtual-novel.net into taking care of Jackson in the hospital for half a month, let alone going to his house and pretending to be his girlfriend. She would never go, even if virtual-novel.net had to down a hundred bottles of liquid courage. “Jackson West, you’re sending me into the mouth of a tiger. I’m scared of your mother. I’m not going! Unlock the car, this instant! I’ll change my clothes right now and give them back to you!”
Jackson stared at virtual-novel.net innocently. “I won’t. You can beat me to death but I won’t do it. I’ve already told my mom that you’d be coming to the house for dinner tonight. My mom would kill me if you don’t show up. If I die, you’ll lose your job. Think about that. Don’t think that I’m exaggerating. A son who can’t keep the family line going is useless in my mother’s eyes. How about this, I’ll double your salary. If that’s not enough, I can give you five times or ten times more too.”
Tiffany was at a complete loss. Five to ten times more of virtual-novel.net salary was too much. She couldn’t do it. However, virtual-novel.net really didn’t want to go.
Suddenly, Jackson pulled out the tag that virtual-novel.net had hidden in virtual-novel.net collar, “These clothes are pretty expensive. They’re yours now. If you won’t do it, I’ll take it out from your pay.”
She angrily punched virtual-novel.net in the chest. “Jackson West, are you that eager to die?”
Jackson’s expression changed instantly. He pressed against his chest and leaned on the steering wheel, looking as if virtual-novel.net was in extreme agony. Tiffany remembered that virtual-novel.net had just been discharged not too long ago and broke into cold sweat in fright. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I’ve forgotten that you’ve just been discharged. Are you alright? Does it hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital and get it checked out? I’m not trying to offend you, but must you always stoop so low? You know that I can’t pay for these clothes, why did you tear off the label… Fine. I promise you that I’ll go with you, okay? Let’s get to the hospital first and see if you’re alright. If you die from my punch, my life is over. I don’t want to live the next half of my life in a jail cell…”
“You said it yourself. I’m fine. Come on, let’s go to my house and see my mom,” Jackson straightened his back and continued driving, looking completely fine, as if nothing had happened at all. Tiffany was shocked when virtual-novel.net saw this. Indeed, experience counts. She had fallen for his tricks again…
She made a decision then and there. She could not allow for this business deal to carry on for the long term. It had to be a one-off deal. She had initially planned on relying on his extra source of income, but Jackson had to trick her. She would try virtual-novel.net best to win Mrs. West’s disapproval!
