My four handsome knights

Are you denying me right now?

Lydia.

My gaze remained on the client in front of me, as even with the dark shades which I wore, one could tell I was not alright.

“Are you okay Miss Kara?” My client whose eyes were tiny on its own, and whenever he scrunched them, it looked like he was closing his eyes, asked me. Hell no, I wasn’t fine for I suffered from a hangover of the club I spent my night on, and I was hardly able to get any more sleep due to the constant beeping of my phone with messages.

“Mr Shim, I usually do not work on weekends and when I do, an extra pay is added, which you decided to fund. I also do have a personal life and accepting to have a meeting with you today was an inconvenience on my part, yet, I sympathized with your disturbance of wanting my services urgently.” I took the shades off my face, as I now stared vividly at my Asian client, precisely Korean from his words.

“Thank you. I wouldn’t have inconvenienced you, if it wasn’t urgent. I love my girlfriend very much and I would like her to love me the same way, yet, she takes advantage of my love for her, so I wish to make her jealous with another woman.” Mr Shim told me.

“Alright. Tell me more about your girlfriend and when you would like us to begin.” I told him.

“I would like us to act on it today.” Mr shim spoke and I raised a brow.

“Pardon?” I asked him.

“Sun-I would be traveling to Canada tomorrow and I do not want her to go, this is the only way for her to choose to stay when she sees me with another woman, for she would want me the same way.” Mr Shim spoke, as I went silent at his words. Part of me pitied him, for it was evident of how much he loved the woman he spoke about. But as painful as it was, that was life. Sometimes we end up loving someone whom won’t love us back and sometimes when they do, they began to take advantage of such love. It was evident Mr shim loved his girlfriend and saw no other option to make her retrieve their initial feelings, which took him to me, yet, what he refused to know was that, the outcome could lead in two ways.

“You do know you are putting your relationship at a risk here.” I spoke. “This can end two ways Mr Shim, it is either your girlfriend realizes her mistake and comes back to you or fuel in anger and choose to leave you completely.” I added, whereas he went silent.

“I am aware of that, however, it is a risk I am willing to take, for our relationship is on the edge by the way.” Mr shim said.

“Alright. If I am to accept to your request, your fees would be increased for you would be paying for an impromptu service.” I told him.

“I am aware of that Miss Kara. I will adhere to it all.” Mr Shim spoke readily and I nodded my head, before taking out my iPad and handing over a soft copy of a document to him.

“Kindly go through the terms and conditions of our partnership and do sign if you are pleased with it.” I spoke, with his gaze going through the contract I handed over to him.

“If there is to be any form of physical abuse, I would be responsible for it?” Mr shim spoke as he raised his gaze from the iPad.

“Yes. Being a girlfriend for hire Mr shim, does come with disadvantages of it own, for the response from the other partner can not be predicted.” I explained to him. Taking the money I was going to be paid aside, my life would also be on the line, for if I was to let Mr shim’s girlfriend meet us in an act that suggested a relationship, there would definitely be some sought of violence. One which I could not measure the degree of it.

“Fine.” He spoke, before I watched him sign the contract before him. I nodded my head at him, before I proceeded on a well structured plan to make his girlfriend jealous, nevertheless, there was still a part of me which knew that it could all go wrong.

My fingertips strolled the tip of the glass of red wine that was in my hand, while I stared back affectionately at John, otherwise known as, Mr Shim. His manly hand, used a finger to clean the excess liquid that stained my pink lips, with a smile which showed false desires in his eyes, as it was our scheme in motion.

Having well calculated the time to which Sun-I, which is John’s girlfriend would be close to their well furnished apartment, I stood up from the chair of the wine stand and walked slowly, while John followed me, before wrapping his hands around my waist from behind, when in truth we had heard the door to their apartment open. John furthered as to our plan, by placing soft kisses on my neck to which I giggled loudly and sensually, with thoughts that Sun -I would have heard clearly.

“여보 (Yeobo) (Darling)?” My gaze rose to meet a tall fair skinned lady, slim by nature with light brown locks that cascaded over her shoulders. From her dressing of putting on a blue Jean and white shirt, I could tell she was not just not any kind of petty woman. Good for me, as I tired to avoid getting beat up one day.

“Sun-I?” John’s hands quickly left my waist instantly in pretense, as he stared back at his girlfriend in stun. “I…what…I didn’t know you were coming back early.” John spoke, whereas I only remained silent and watched.

“그녀는 누구야? (Who is she)” Sun-I said. Of course I couldn’t hear what it was she said, as my Korean was far from fluent nevertheless, I could tell more was coming from her.

“She’s…she’s just a friend.” John said. “She’s no one.” He added.

“Babe, what does that mean? Are you denying me right now?” I turned to John, with a bewildered stare.

“Wait…wait a minute. What did you just call him?” Sun-I faced me.

Good, just what I was waiting for.

“What? You don’t like the fact that I called him babe? I should be asking who you are?” I spoke with an attitude that was worth upsetting for.

“You little…Ya! (Hey) didn’t he tell you who I am to him?” Sun-I’s voice raised.

“Hmm I guess he forgot cause I’ve never head of you.” I spoke as each of my words pissed her the more to the very edge.

“Wow…” Sun-I let out a scoff of disbelieve as she ran a hand through her hair.

“Sun-I, it’s not what you think I swear…”

“It’s not what I think? I met your hands at her filthy waist and you said it’s not what I think!” Sun-I voice raised loudly that I’m certain their neighbors caught whiff of what was happening. “Ya! (Hey!)” And within a blink of an eye, I watched Sun-I take out her slippers and threw it directly at John, landing it at his nose.

Okay, this is getting hot.

“그리고 너 ( And you!) I will rip you apart!” Even if I didn’t hear the first words of Sun-I, I definitely heard the last part of ripping me apart, as she didn’t wait for another second before she took to her heels and lunged at me, while I also took to my heels and ran round the wine stand.

What was it I said about not being petty? Scratch that, for this woman was more than that.

“John!” I screamed John’s name, as this was soon getting out of what I signed up for. Having seen the situation in front of him, John with one hand held his nose, as he chased after Sun-I whom chased after me, and we became the cat, rat, and mouse. Fortunately John got a hold of Sun-I, but that was short lived as she hit him in the abdomen. “좆같은 새끼야 (you piece of s**t)!” Sun-I furthered to kick him in the balls and my gaze went wide at the depth of her craziness, while John on the hand winced and dropped to the ground in cries. It seemed I was too late to have reasoned my next move, for Sun-I turned to me, and fear ran through my body like that of an electric shock, especially when she tilted her neck and her bone snapped.

Oh s**t!

I ran. I began to run and when Sun-I saw that I was getting away from her, she began sending bottles of wine flying my way as they either broke on the wall close to me or next to me feet. My mouth went open, as I stared at my back for just a second to sight Sun-I with two more bottle in her hand and that was when I knew, I had taken the wrong job. f**k s**t!

I went to my knees instantly, while more bottle came my way, as it was a miracle that one hadn’t pierced my skin by now. And that was how I began crawling like six months old in crowing fear of the crazy woman that chased me, till I found my way out and ran like my life depended on it.

Hell it f*****g did!
