Chapter 81 Lucy (Three)

• I had got in and changed. I was dressed normally and the role I was assigned to play was that of a teacher who had fallen behind with making a loan payment. I was to recreate a teacher who had taken a huge amount of money as a loan and when it was time for the payment, I couldn't cough out the amount again and hence they, the people who had lend me the money would have to do what is on the contract which is that taking loans has a clause in them for how the lender can make their money back, by making the borrower an indentured servant until they make back the money they owe. Some borrowers agree to an expedited repayment plan, which they may not know until too late involves being a sex slave. I had to act numb to whatever my punishment was going to be.
• When I got on the stage, I was nervous and anxious about what I was going to do. The first eyes I met were that of the creepy guy who took a selfie with me. He had sat in the front row. Comfortable and relaxed. More like he has been waiting for me to appear. The moment I saw him, my heart sank into my belly and I felt goosebumps appear on my skin. Prior to then, Fred, who was present, had noticed my nervous state and had given me some tips to work on and with while on stage. He knew I had stage fright and he was such a darling to offer me some tips.
• In his words, "Lucy you have to dispel your excess adrenaline to feel calm. When you're anxious, your body is filled with adrenaline, so use it. If it doesn't work out which I believe it will, slow your breath and it's a good thing that you have avoided caffeine and other stimulants. Don't also forget to smile to make yourself feel better as this will truly make you feel better. And then lastly Lucy, Project confidence in yourself" he had held my hand. I felt relieved. He took my hands and kissed them before I left for the stage.
