I stared at the email longer than I would have liked to admit, it was so tempting to just accept but was it really true what he had said? That I wouldn't be in any type of debt to anyone?

It was a hell of a lot of money that someone would spend on me, that in itself was crazy and I couldn't comprehend it.

My night was dreamless and heavy, so when the alarm rang, I felt rested and ready for a new week. Jumping out of the bed, I stretched and made a fresh cup of coffee. I had a quick makeup routine for the days spent at the cafe, with usually only elderly as our customers. I didn't need to make myself look pretty for them. My tips didn't depend on it. While the nightclub was located in downtown Asaba, I needed to take a bus to get there but the cafe was only four blocks from my apartment. It was nice out at this time of the day, the heat wasn't unbearable and the street wasn't too busy either.
