Valerie realized she had no choice and so, she grudgingly wore on the dress.

It was damn too short and tight on her and reveled all her curves, making her so so uncomfortable.

“Whatever this plan is, I hope it doesn’t include me throwing myself at someone because I’d never do that” she said spitefully at Jericho, but he only smirked and started walking out of the room and Valerie figured she had to follow him.
Oh! Damn him!!

They walked out of the house to the garage where Jericho made use of a black car.

He got into the driver’s seat, while Valerie made use of the sit beside his, and with that, they drove off.

“But seriously, I can’t even go out like this. I mean, look at my face! Can’t you just make the spots go away a little at least?”. She asked desperately.

“You don’t tell me what to do, Valerie. Now listen, when we get to the club, all I want you to do is act like my worker. You’re to sit next to me in a seductive way – and that’s all” Jericho instructed, leaving Valerie to wonder for a few seconds.

“What sort of task is that? And what’re you trying to achieve, anyway?” She asked, but Jericho gave no response.

She had completely forgotten the fact that he warned her never to question him. Well, Valerie could never respect that aspect.

Since he started acting snobbish, she decided not to say any other thing and just seethe with anger.

They finally got to the club as Jericho pulled over in front of it. And as they did, Valerie felt more nervous. Only the heavens knew what what he wanted to do with her.

They both stepped out of the car with Jericho holding his brief case and they walked into the club together. Well, Valerie was thankful she had no friends in club else, what would she had done if they had to see her face like that?

Well, apart from the shortness of the dress, she looked really classy – just like the classy Valerie she’s missed.

Jericho signaled her to wrap her hand around his and she obeyed, wrapping it a little angrily.

But to be frank, Jericho was quite handsome and she felt more classy having to walk with someone like him.

The club was so noisy – as usual – and filled with rugged looking boys, drinking and smoking, and some female strippers displaying on stage.

Valerie was used to clubs else, but this particular one looked more dirty – more corrupt.

What the heck is Jericho doing in a place like this?

They both walked in gracefully, gaining little glances from people who couldn’t help staring at then. And to think her face was a mess… Gosh!

They got to a table where a plump man was seated and Jericho took a seat as well.

“Hey,Jey” the old man chuckled with a with a cigarette in his mouth.

Valerie didn’t need anyone to sit next to Jericho and doing as he had instructed, she placed her hand on his shoulder.

“Hi Bonnie” Jericho answered sarcastically.

“Yeah. I’ve been waiting all day for you, man. How’re you doing?”

“I’m cool and you?”

“I’m great. Wow! She’s quite hot. But what’re these spots on her face?” He chuckled, looking at Valerie who’s cheeks were getting heated already.

“Forget about them, Bonnie, and let’s get down to business” Jericho answered coldly as he opened the briefcase, which made Valerie’s eyes beam.

Money! So much cash!

What the heck is he doing with all these???

The old man nodded in approval as he touched the money. Exactly what he wanted.

“Don’t waste my time, Bonnie. Give me what I came for” Jericho said impatiently.

“Relax, Jerry. You’ve always been so impatient” The old man chuckled as he dipped his hand into his shirt pocket and brought out something like a tube, giving it to Jericho.

Hold on… Why and the heck is that?? Valerie wondered in amazement.

“It was nice doing business with you, Jerry” The old man said.

“Yeah” Jericho mumbled and stood up with the tube in his palm.
Valerie did same and they walked out of the club together.

“Hold on.. What the hell was that? What did he give to you?” Valerie asked as they walked towards the car, but Jericho gave no reply.

“Listen, simply because I want my beauty back doesn’t mean you’ll get me into trouble, Okay? So, if you’re doing anything illegal….”

“Say one more word and I’ll make you cripple” Jericho snapped and her lips went shut instantly.

His eyes depleted anger and Valerie wondered what was wrong.

“You’re done for today. You can go home” he continued and walked into the car, shutting the does.

Okay; so he’s gonna leave her out here again? Without her car? And how can she actually go home dressed in such wayward dress?

Goodness! Can this ever get better?

“Just a few days left, Val” she consoled herself and walked closer to the road to board a cab.

********************”

Valerie’s sound sleep was interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing and she grumbled,guessing it might be Jericho.

Oh! Damn it!!!

She grunted angrily and reached for the phone on the head of the bed and…oh! It was actually someone else. One of her brands.

Why were they calling her so early?

“Hello?” Her said drowsily.

“Good morning, ma’am Valerie. How was your night?” The woman asked warmly.

“Yeah, it was fine. How can I help you?” She said grudgingly.

“Well, I actually wanted to remind you of the photo shoot today. We have everything ready and…”

“Hah!!” Valerie gasped and sat up on the bed immediately.

The photo shoot!!!
Good heavens! How could she forget!?

“So, we’re waiting, ma’am. Thanks” the woman concluded and ended the call.

Valerie kept the phone beside her and sank her fingers into her hair.

Oh God! No. No. She couldn’t miss this shoot for anything in the world! Never! But she also couldn’t do it with a face like this!!

Goodness! No. No. This isn’t happening.

No matter what, she needed to get these spots off her face today. She needed Jericho to get them off by all means – this morning!
