You have to choose one, either become my rental wife or...pay the sum of 2 Million dollars for damaging my tires" The smirk on his face was so evil and she hated it so much. Carla was on the brink of snapping, in fact, she just snapped. She couldn't control her temper, so she did something she shouldn't have, and now she was in deep trouble. They said that all disappointments come with a blessing. But is this a blessing or a curse? Carla didn't know
"You fucking third wheel" The blonde-haired girl screamed, glaring hatefully at Carla who was elegantly chewing on the piece of meat pie.
"Me, a third wheel? This is my man and we have been together for 2 months so what about you? Who are you and why are you acting like a crazy person, pouncing on strangers who don't even know you?" Carla asked, slowly standing up from her seat.
The young man who was sitting on the chair stared at the two of them with wide eyes, he was fidgeting in his seat.
"I'm his ex-girlfriend so I have every right to..."
"So, you are just an ex-girlfriend? Is that why you are acting so stupid? Babe, do you know her?" Carla asked, facing the young man who was stunned at being called upon so suddenly.
"Jerry! Open your fucking mouth and tell this bitch who I am to you?" The blonde yelled, hands on her waist.
Carla scoffed loudly "Was, the keyword is 'was', you are nothing to him anymore so can you please leave this place before I call the securities to drag you disgracefully out of here?" Carla said.
By now, almost everyone in the restaurant was looking at them, some had even raised their cameras to take videos of the interesting scene going on.
"You fucking bitch..." the blonde lady raised her hand to slap Carla but Carla who had long been in this business held her hand firmly and gave her a loud slap.
With a speed visible to the naked eye, red fingerprints appeared on the blonde girl's face.
She stared at Carla, her mouth agape in disbelief and shock.
Meanwhile, Jerry who was standing nearby had an uncomfortable look on his face, his fists were clenched together, almost as if he wanted to pounce on Carla for slapping the blonde girl.
Immediately the Security men came in and dragged the screaming blonde lady out while Carla watched with a satisfied smirk on her lips.
...
"How did you like the drama for today?" Carla asked Jerry immediately they were both out of the restaurant and inside Jerry's car.
"I didn't like it," Jerry said, Carla looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Why? Aren't you satisfied that I slapped the shit out of your bitchy ex-girlfriend, isn't that what you hired me for?" She asked him in surprise but Jerry shook his head.
"Why did you slap her, even when we were together, I found it hard to lay my hands on her so why did you..." Jerry trailed off, putting on the ignition of the car as they drove out of the parking lot of the restaurant.
The car was a limited edition one and belonged to him, jerry was from a rich family who pampered him and gave him a lot of allowances, but the young boy didn't know where to spend it. He had, on a whim, hired Carla to act as his girlfriend to deal with his ex-girlfriend. He wanted to make her jealous.
"I don't understand what you mean Jerry, I did what you asked me to do," Carla asked, the confusion on her face was apparent.
"But I didn't ask you to slap her!" He yelled.
Carla's eyes widened in disbelief, then she burst into loud laughter.
"Oh my God! Then tell me that you still feel something for your ex. then why did you hire me to deal with her?" She asked.
Jerry glared at her angrily before fumbling around in his pocket, bringing out a 100-dollar bill "Take this, it is your payment" he said.
Carla took the money from him and frowned when she saw it was just 100 dollars.
"It's not complete, we agreed on one thousand dollars," she said but all she received was a scoff from Jerry.
"I told you according to our terms and conditions, I wasn't satisfied with the services you gave me so of course I'm going to pay you less than what we agreed on"
"You fucking bastard!" Carla yelled angrily.
The car which had been moving steadily earlier screeched to a stop in the middle of the road, Carla who didn't have time to put on her seat belt found herself almost hitting her head on the airbag.
"Are you crazy?" She asked, holding her beating heart.
"Get out of my car," Jerry said with gritted teeth.
Carla raised her hands in surrender when she saw that he was serious about it.
She got down from the car with her bag, once the door was shut, the red Lamborghini shot out like an arrow, blowing smoke on Carla's face.
Carla glared at the speeding car, an angry look on her face.
"Stupid jerk!" She cursed angrily, kicking a stone on the road frustratingly.
Carla sighed and looked around, thinking of how she would get home, her house was two junctions away and it would cost her a sum of money to get there.
Thinking of money, she looked at her hands and realized that she had forgotten the 100 dollars in Jerry's car, more like it had fallen from her hand while she was arguing with him.
The look on her face changed to a crying one instantly. She was so disappointed that she couldn't take another step.
"Oh my God! So, I wasted all my efforts" She sighed and fell on the floor, her head buried in her thighs.
"That bastard! He couldn't even give me up to half of what he promised, and now the little change he gave me is also gone." She was weak to her bones.
"I'm already running out of money and Gianna is in the hospital, what am I going to do now", she lamented, thinking of her sick and dying friend in the hospital. A tear rolled down her cheeks.
Carla sniffed and wiped her face as she raised her head. Just as she was about to stand up from the floor, a car passed by speedily, and what followed next was a large amount of dirty water splashing on her.
Damn!
