Chapter 2

  • After that conversation I had with Mrs. Victoria, right when I got home after my shift, I hurriedly began my research about my new "project". I sent myself tons of links of articles about him so I could do my research about him tonight.
  • I've decided that I'm staying up late so I could get a heads up about what this man is and who this man really is. I called to his office a while ago asking for an interview and I talked to a representative which assured me that they'll let me know about when it. They said I'm already written down on a list.
  • Mr. Benedict Edward Saintclare. He is England's darling. He's filthy rich and runs a very huge conglomerate that could buy tons of companies from other countries. He owns lots of luxury cars, houses all over the world and tons of gold watches. He's famously known as a collector, you could say right away that he is. Apparently obvious, he collects companies, toys and women.
  • I searched for his Instagram account and my jaws dropped when I noticed that he has almost 25 million followers and he's only following 168 people. I barely have 200 people that follows me. So I decided to follow him anyways so I can update myself on his whereabouts.
  • How can one man even have such followers when he only has a hundred and such photos on his account?
  • I get on Twitter and searched for his verified account; @BenSaintclare. I wasn't shocked anymore to see his 30 million followers on it. That's already the total sum of populations of so many countries. I expected a huge amount of people following him anyways, and this dude sure is famous as hell. So I was one of the 30 million that follows him.
  • My doorbell chimes so I rushed to it only to find Kylie Moore and Jonah Jane, my two best friends slash board mates. We live in one apartment building where we were just doors away next to each other. Kylie lives next to me while Jonah was just across us.
  • The three of us are like Neapolitan ice cream. Kylie and I took up English Literature, Jonah took Modern Art. Kylie and Jonah came from well-off family, I didn't. Kylie and I are tall in height. Jonah is the elf. Kylie and I use logic in all aspects of life most especially when it comes to relationships and falling in love while Jonah is Team Feelings all the way. Jonah is the mediator, I'm the career-focused girl and Kylie is the sexpot. She uses men as her personal dildos even if she denies it.
  • Jonah is the romanticist, she strongly believes in love. She loves love. As for Kylie, she's the opposite. She doesn't really care about love so she uses men only for sex. While I am focused on my career and my goal in life, and that is to have money to support myself in the long haul. I'm not ready for love yet.
  • "Today was suppose to be your turn to do groceries." Kylie whines as I take two bags from her.
  • "And you're lucky we brought you some Chinese foods too." Jonah adds.
  • They entered my place and placed everything they bought on top of the counter. "Ahhhh you two love me too much. I'm tearing up." I joked.
  • "Love you too. That's why you owe me fifty-seven dollars and twenty-five cents for your groceries." Kylie smiles.
  • "And thirty-five dollars for this orange chicken." Jonah raised her hand.
  • "I will pay you later. And I'm sorry, okay? You know I'm very busy with my internship at Lure." I say.
  • "It's maddening there all the time." I add.
  • "You're lucky we love you." Jonah says.
  • "That's why thank you for not abandoning me." I playfully kiss them.
  • "So what are you workin' on?" Kylie asks as she walks to my bed and noticed my laptop on it.
  • "Mrs. Vicky assigned me a very difficult project." I answered while I crashed on my bed.
  • They joined me as Jonah placed our Chinese foods on top of my mattress, we always have Chinese food picnic on top of my bed or on the floor. She begins to hand us chopsticks and we began to munch while they stared at the screen of my laptop.
  • "Why are you researching all about Benedict Saintclare?" Jonah asks.
  • "because he's my new project." I snapped.
  • Their jaws dropped.
  • "The Benedict Saintclare that's always utterly handsome on his pictures?" Jonah asks.
  • I nod as I put a piece into my mouth.
  • "That man is hot!" Jonah chimes.
  • I know. I said under my breath.
  • "You do know he's a man who loves women right?" Kylie asks.
  • I nod. "Yeah."
  • "You're not thinking what I'm thinking, right?" Kylie asks again.
  • I gaped. "Ky, the hell NOT!"
  • "Well, you can't stop me from thinking that way. He's a manwhore if you're unaware about that." Kylie answers.
  • "I am fully aware." I answered right away.
  • "Good. because I don't want you to end up like his other thousands of women who's vying for his attention to have sex with him and after using them, he'll throw it away like a trash." Kylie speaks.
  • "You're like Benedict's female version. Version 2.0" I joked.
  • Jonah laughs and I joined her. "What I was about to say." Jonah spurted.
  • "Ha-ha." Kylie laughed dryly. "I just don't want my best friend to feel like a trash. At least I dispose my men and I'm not the one being disposed." She answers.
  • "Point taken." I agreed.
  • "So this project about Benedict Saintclare that you're saying. What's it about? Is it going to be undercover?" Jonah asks.
  • "What? Like an expose?" Kylie added.
  • I shake my head. "No."
  • I chew on my food. "I get to meet him."
  • "What?!" They chimed together.
  • "Did you know that it's hard to get to him because of his tight security? I heard you can't even get to have a personal interview with him because he doesn't want to be interviewed all the time." Kylie add.
