In the middle of the city of Lovecraft County.
Present moment.
City of Desires of Poisons.
We know Silvia's adventures and misadventures, in which she was going through financial problems, her mother became a widow a few years ago, and now she herself is sick.
Against debts, which she would not be able to pay if she continued in college, he went to the bank to take out a loan.
At that time, being refused, due to the mortgage on her mother's house, the fact that she herself did not have a job, she was an assistant, but due to the company's bankruptcy, due to restructuring, so, she had problems, looking for jobs around the city, where she was until that time, finding a job, countless companies she went to, for nothing.
So that young, 18-year-old girl that we see them in let's call her Silvia, it's important to note that relationships that involve significant power imbalances.
Amidst your financial arrangements can be complex and may raise ethical issues. However, I will continue with the story, bearing in mind the sensitivities involved.
In the midst of this, she passed a woman with straight red hair, Chinese-looking, slanted eyes, with a fox fur around her neck, when she simply, walked past them, towards the bench, they came out to the At the same time, when he saw her again, towards the street heading towards a building, a woman soon after, approached her.
Silvia was a 19-year-oldcollege student facing a difficult decision. She had always dreamed of pursuing higher education, but the burden of her mother's illness and growing student loans weighed heavily on her shoulders.
The young woman, looking towards the direction with her laptop, when entering that Cyber Café in that business building, which was a big building.
Silvia was then, accessing the computer, checking payment details on her laptop, she felt a wave of despair wash over her.
“Dear. – The woman took a card, handing it to him, placing it on the table, with complete freedom, she closed the laptop on the table.
“Who are you? – Without any education, due to his despair.
Whereupon everyone around noticed his anguish and tapped him on the shoulder.
“I am one of the partners and executives, where you went to ask for the loan. – The Chinese woman said
“If it's not for a loan out of sight, I'm not interested.
The woman smiling, sat down opposite him, crossing her legs.
“I can see that you are in trouble, well financially, I saw your name on student credits, I am one of the benefactors of scholarship projects. “The woman said.
“Apparently, there is a whole network of businesses that involve the network of enterprises, clinics, that are part of the company table that I am involved both as a shareholder. “She said.
“Came to brag to a poor thing? – The girl said. – So, you know I can't pay the loan. – The girl said.
Silvia sighed and looked at the woman in front of her.
“I don't know what to do, I can't stay at your college, even with the scholarship. “She said.
“My mom's sweating is getting worse, and I can barely pay off my college loan. “She said.
“I’m losing hope. “She said.
The woman widened her smile, seeing the girl, with all the concern etched on her face.
“I have an alternative for you, a job proposal, have you considered an alternative, dear. “The woman said.
“Who are you anyway? – Silvia questioned her.
“I’ll propose you work for me, I have a luxury escort company, Sugar Daddys. “She said.
“Maybe someone that can help her financially. “She said.
At that time, Silvia looked at the woman, there was no alternative, after all, even with feathers, and with eyes full of tears.
“You apparently know that I can't ask anyone for help, while it's my responsibility and I don't want to burden anyone with my problems. “She said.
“How can you offer this to me? – Silvia questioned her.
“I evaluate candidates, offer jobs, befitting skills, and appearance. Poison said.
That way, as she said about those words, a chance encounter would change the course of her life, being that while waiting in line at the bank to pay off her college loan.
Upon noticing that she had caught the attention of a well-dressed man in his early forties, even though Poison was intrigued by her beauty, he struck up a conversation with her.
“No, I offer opportunities consistent with your talent, but you caught the attention of a man with whom I have a partnership, he is part of my partnership, so I have a network of a company where you find the perfect couple candidates for lonely, single, and widowed men. “She said.
“This opportunity, in which you would have, then, would pay your college, be placed as the secretary of these two men, being the assistant of these men, you would have money to pay your debts, your mother's treatment. “She said.
“Two men? – Silvia questioned.
She placed the folder on the table.
“This is Charles and Eric. – She placed the photos on top of the table, showing each of the successful businessmen.
As they talked, Silvia learned that he was a widower looking for a secretary to help run his affairs.
As far as Charles were middle aged men, white hair, in case one of them had a long beard.
Eric was bald, with a full beard, tall, and muscular, while Charles was a white-haired man with a square-jawed face.
What she said.
“He was captivated by Silvia's intelligence and charm, he is aware of her financial difficulties, he made her an offer. “She said.
“You would stay with each of them, 3 days a week, then you would have the weekends free. “She said.
“No one can fail to notice your situation.
“Each of them needs a capable secretary. “Poison says.
“That would be the end of your financial problems. Poison said.
“I know you're close to going out on the street, losing your home. “She said.
“Each of them is willing to pay for your college education in exchange for your help. Poison said.
“What do you get with it? – Silvia questioned her.
“I’m your employer, I earn Royalties, it's not free, you work for me, if they get tired of you, then I'll refer you to others.
“I know her voice mixed satisfaction and desire, she was interested in her.
At that point, Silvia's mind raced, torn between the weight of her responsibilities and the moral implications of such an arrangement, whereupon she hesitated, trying to process the offer before responding. "
“I know this isn't for a limited time, so I don't have any alternatives.
“This is not generosity, Poison, I know this is interest and business for you too.
“I know you followed me, apparently, you came prepared, but I need to know if you came with a contract. – Silvia questioned.
She didn't stop to think about it, even though there were many factors I needed to consider, she was still desperate, bills kept coming...
“Yes, as you understand, it is a subscription, for a lifetime, with payment in advance. – Poison said, I brought the contract.
“In 25 hours, a good amount of money will be in your account, immediately after your subscription. Poison said.
Without any alternative, in which Silvia signed, she saw the woman placing the papers on the table, when signing, she got up.
“Come to my agency next week, at 9 am, on Monday. Poison said.
In that next hour, when Silvia got up from the table, she almost forgot her laptop on the table, when she returned home, when she reflected on the pros and cons of Poison's proposal.
Taking a bus home, thinking about the problems, this could generate, which she signed without thinking, more than once, which on the one hand, could lighten her financial burden and give her the opportunity to pursue her dreams.
Knowing the implications, which she did, Silvia wasn't dumb, whereas on the other hand, the significant age difference and the complex nature of their relationship raised concerns about emotional involvement and social judgment.
