After the show Marie went back to the dressing room to change her clothes .As usual she wear her favorite white loose t-shirt with her tattered jeans and a pair of tennis shoes. Her porcelain skin reflected to the light of the room as if she was shining like a diamond ring. Her long black hair which was almost on her waistline swayed back and forth wherever she go. She then took her backpack from her locker and she was off to go when Emma rushed into her as if she saw a king outside the club. She looked very excited and she thought everything was not right.

Emma was speechless like she won in the lottery. "hey girl what's up with you...It seems like you saw a ghost",Marie asked her best friend. " Common hurry let's go outside and put down your backpack first because someone will want to see you" She told her and Emma quickly hold her hand and she leads her to the guy.

I'm very excited to know this girl because she reminded me of my ex wife. Her body, smile,her porcelain skin ,her shining black hair and the eyes full of secrets.I wanted to know her more and to be close to her. Her present really bring back those old memories I had with my wife.

I saw her ..she's coming to my table. I checked my nectie of it's in the proper position. I want to give her a good impression about me.

I saw her friend also that she pushed her into my table and she left her beside me. I offer her the chair beside me so that we can talk and discuss things better.

" Hi I'm Drake Davis ", I introduced myself and spread my hands for a handshake. She looked tense and shy. She took my hands and then she smiled at me. " Just call me Marie...Marie Perez ", she said a little bit hesitant to tell her full name. I wanted to cough because o could feel that her hands were very cold.

"don't be afraid of me I'm not a monster or either I'm not gonna eat you!", I told her to make her feel comfortable beside me.

She pour the whiskey from the table on a glass and drink it. "Of course I'm not afraid of you I just don't talk to strangers especially to people like you", she told me in a sarcastic manner. I almost let out a loud laugh when she said it to me. She was even more beautiful when she's mad and drunk. " Okay to make it simple I like you ", I told her my feelings straight to the point.

I was shocked when she said that she need to go to the bathroom. I'll let her go and wait for her answer.

I'm so overwhelmed at this moment after meeting Drake .My goodness this man is very rich, handsome and very manly. Maybe he was the answer in my prayer that someday I'll find someone who will help us from poverty. I looked myself in the mirror and pinch my face if he was real or not but yes he is I could feel my face being pinched by me.Back to reality I'll go back there and I want to know him first .Of course to the fact that he was a stranger and told me that he liked me was a bit easy to get in my part so I'll play the hard to get part. (Giggles) .

Marie went back to the table and she asked the guy if maybe they could take it very slow because they just met but Drake wanted more. He's negotiating her like he badly need her to be his wife and he offered Marie a marriage proposal.

"What?! Are you kidding me?Sir we just met and now you wanted to marry me?",she told the guy . Drake smirked and shook his head. " I said you'll have to marry me and be my wife but its only for two weeks and I'll pay you", he told him his plans to Marie. She couldn't understand first but while everything went clearer she knows her role. He will hire her to be his wife in exchange of money.

She think a little bit and flashback every words he just said earlier.

She leaned closer into him. "you mean I'll going to work for you?not as an employee but to be your fake wife? Why is there any reason about that?", Marie wanted to know his motive. Of course this guy was hell rich bachelor and he will do whatever he want beacuse he got money.

Drake drawn a little smile and naughtiness on his face. He looked more hotter the way he glare at her. His eyes so smoky that every gitls was ready to get laid even he will only looked at them. Marie felt uneasy the way he looked at her. She waited for his answer and he never said anything so to stop the ignition between us Marie break the silence.

"if you will not answer me okay fine just find someone who's willing to work for you!", she told him and moved out from the chair to leave him but she stop when Drake finally answered her.

"no reason behind... 1 million cash for you just don't ask anything just stick to my offer, will you accept it or not?",he stood up from the chair and he gently grab her arms. "think about it for your family. I know you just work here because you had no choice but thus tine I'll give you a chance, a great opportunity for you to consider my offer", he added. He's serious now waiting for her answer.

For Marie she was shocked to hear 1 million offer that night. She just nod her head and everything happened so fast. Drake gave his calling card to her. He said he'll wait her answer as soon as possible.
