Contract Relationship

"Julie!"

"Julie!"

"Good news!"

Rachael squeals happily as she runs into the building and July anxiously walk out of the counter.

"Am dying in suspense, spill!" July said curiously as she stands closer to Rachael.

"There is an available job that pays five thousand dollars, free accommodation and feeding expenses" Rachael pauses.

"With a car!" Rachael explains impatiently with a bright smile.

"Five thousand dollars!" July exclaims in surprise while Rachael nods her head happily.

"Which part of my body do they want?" July asks sarcastically and Rachael smirks.

"July, it's a part time job and that amount will be your monthly salary" Rachael said courageously.

"Impossible. Which part time job is that?" July asks anxiously.

"The lady didn't explain the details"

"She only gave me her business card to come to the address if interested" Rachael explains politely as she brings out the small business card from her back trouser pocket, she gives it to July who receives it anxiously.

"Do ... what do you think?" July asks nervously.

"Judging by her appearance, she looks genuine and trustworthy" Rachael places her hands on July's hand.

"Give it a try babe" Rachael said softly and July nods her head slowly with a bright smile.

Rachael happily walk on the street heading back to the coffee shop as she cross path with Michael, they pause staring at each other.

"Why are you here?" Michael asks nervously.

"I came to visit my friend" Rachael said politely and turns to leave.

"You look excited" Michael said apathetically with an anxious smirk, Rachael turns to him.

"Yes I am"

"July will be having a job soon"

"No more idling around with you" Rachael said bluntly and runs off on the street laughing happily.

"Job?"

"When?" Michael mutters anxiously to himself and walks back heading to his car.

Days later, July confidently walks on a busy clean street while she anxiously stares at the business card in her hand every minute. July is dressed in a beautiful purple body hugged dress, a flat black shoe, a mini black handbag, she pauses at a skyscraper building and checks the address again.

"What the fuck?" she exclaims in a low surprise tone.

"This is a huge company" she mutters softly to herself as she exhales and courageously walks into the building.

"Hello miss"

"Welcome to L.F.H, how can we help you?" the reception greets politely and asks anxiously with a smile, July nervously drops the business card on the counter. The receptionist quietly scans the card for some minute and looks up at July smiling.

"Follow me" she calls politely while walking out of the counter, July nods her head sheepishly as she follows the receptionist from behind.

July enters the elevator with the receptionist as she clicks five courageously on the button with a smile, July clears her throat softly.

The elevator slides open some minutes later and July steps out of the elevator with the receptionist, the receptionist walks confidently to an isolated building and stands at the side with a smile.

"Please go in"

"The CEO is waiting" the receptionist informs politely and leaves the hallway.

"Wow" July exclaims nervously and knocks the door which automatically opens, she walks into the office anxiously.

"Welcome!" a beautiful aged lady of about thirties approach July with a bright smile stretching her hand out for a handshake, July shakes the lady nervously with a tough smile.

"Please sit" the lady extend her hand out pointing an empty chair for July, July nods her head sheepishly in response.

"I'm Miss Agatha, CEO of L.F.H" Agatha informs courageously as she walks back to her seat.

"I'm July Thompson" July said confidently as she relaxes on the comfortable soft chair.

"Yeah, Rachael told me about you"

"So are you interested in the job?" Agatha asks anxiously.

"Rachael didn't explain the job to my understanding" July informs cautiously while Agatha nods her head gradually.

"I will explain briefly to you then" Agatha smiles softly as she sits upright.

"This agency is in charge of hiring romance to single rich bachelors in London" Agatha pauses.

"Here is a list of bachelors who need contract brides for the time being" Agatha politely pushes some documents to July which she receives courteously from the table and flips through the pages while listening to Agatha.

"Each of the men there are willing to pay their contract brides the sum of five thousand dollars" Agatha informs confidently and July face up with a small smile.

"Can I choose any one of them?" July asks anxiously.

"Yes you can and it also depends if they will accept you for the contract" Agatha informs vividly as she stands up.

"The rules of the contract are simple" Agatha pauses and July turns facing her direction anxiously.

"You are changeable and fake. Respect the dominant and do not fall in love because they won't marry you" Agatha said cautiously as she cross her arms slowly, July exhales and face the document.

"So, who are you in for?" Agatha asks anxiously as she walks back to her seat.

"Erm ... this Mr. Damien Gerber" July stutters nervously while pointing the name in her document.

"No picture inserted, why?" July asks anxiously.

"Oh Damien"

"He is a hot cake"

"I don't know if he would accept you"

"All I can do is give you is address and the contract deed" Agatha explains nervously as she racks her table impatiently, July smirks.

"If he doesn't choose me, can I come back and select another person?" July asks sarcastically with a nervous grin.

"Yes" Agatha said with a smile as she hands the contract deed to July which she receives politely and leaves the office quietly.

July walks out of the company confidently and face up then she clearly sees the name of the company "Love For Hire" July smirks nervously shaking her head and walk away to a distance hailing the taxi impatiently.

At the T's coffee shop the next day, July sits on the chair with Michael and Rachael as she explains to them how her interview ended yesterday.

"What!" Michael exclaims angrily.

"I am not in support of it" Michael added annoyingly as Rachael drinks the coffee while smirking under her nose.

"It's a fake relationship" July pauses nervously.

"I don't need your permission anyways" July said vividly as she crosses her arms.

"July you ..." Michael tries to speak but Rachael interrupts by clearing her throat loudly.

"Julie, I support you" Rachael said softly with a bright smile, July nods her head happily as she drinks the coffee slowly.

"I have things to do now"

"Excuse me" Michael stands up from the chair and leaves the café sadly.

"Are you going to visit your fiancé today?" Rachael teases jokingly with a mischievous wink.

"First I hope he doesn't disgrace me by chasing me out of his home and secondly, add 'fake' to the fiancé" July informs jokingly with a stern facial expression.

"So are you going today?" Rachael asks mockingly.

"Yes"

"I have to go back home and change up" July pauses while standing up.

"To look lovely and eye catchy" July added flirtatiously and rushes out of the café, Rachael smirks happily as she packs the empty coffee cups on the table.

The car rides slowly as the pleasant music plays rhythmically, July sits confidently at the back passengers' seat as she operates her phone slyly. The driver peeps through the inner driver's mirror and smirks.

"You must have an important meeting with president Gerber" the driver asks sarcastically.
