girlfriend. So when the show’s over, both parties can walk their
separate ways.”
    “So all those out
of town trips of yours…”
    Lisa nodded slowly.
“Yes, most times I was going with a client or going to meet a client. It’s safe, because my agency makes extra sure that each client is
genuine. It’s fun because I get to go to all these beautiful places. And oh…did
I tell you it pays extremely well, too?” She smiled widely.
    Bea almost didn’t
want to ask, but found herself doing so anyway. “So how much do you get paid?”
    Lisa
paused, placing down her cup before answering with a shrug , “It depends. But basically, because of the top agency I work
for, I get some really good rates.” And then when she told Bea what she earned
per hour, she had to chuckle at Bea’s very expressive face.
    “All that, and they
don’t get a piece of you?” Bea gasped.
    “I told you, these
guys are well heeled. It means nothing to them to blow that kind of money on a
few hours with a cultured, stunning lady,” Lisa said with a smirk. Then she
sighed, her humor sobering. “I started it out of boredom. I had a job that was
more like drudgery, a busy banker boyfriend who had zero time for taking me out
not to speak of going on pleasure trips…I just saw this as a way of getting the
exposure to life I craved. And so far, it’s been great Bea. Sometimes, it’s fun
meeting a new face, making that exciting trip to somewhere different. And I’m
lucky that I can always pick who I choose to go out
with. Not that I’ve ever had to reject a client. Like I told you, my agency is
very exclusive and their clients are among politicians, athletes, celebrities,
CEOs and yes, the odd trust fund kid.”
    Her beautiful face
broke out in a smile, and Bea couldn’t help smiling back. “I think it’s great
you can get to live your life the way you want,” Bea said, tapping her flat
mate’s hand, which lay on the table. “I’ve always envied you, you know. Your
carefree spirit.”
    Lisa huffed. “No,
Bea, I envy you. You’re so hip and intelligent. You work for this cool IT firm
and you’re just so dedicated to your dream. I wish I was that focused. Also, I
think you’re the most beautiful girl I know.”
    “Me, beautiful?”
Bea gasped, laughing in disbelief with cheeks pink from Lisa’s deeply-worded comments.
    “Oh, come off it
with the modesty, Bea. You’re fucking hot. All my guy friends have crushes on
you and have wanted to ask you out but I warned them to keep their paws off my
flat mate. You’ve got the body of a goddess, with your perky tits and perfect
peach butt. Trust me, we’ve sunbathed together enough for me to know exactly
what I’m talking about. I love your gorgeous sable hair with its natural waves
reaching down your back. Hey, if I was a guy, I’d want to hit on you for sure.”
    Bea’s blush
deepened. “I think you’re hot, too. I always have. And thanks, Lisa –
I’ve never really looked at myself that way.”
    “Well, you should.
A girl like you in my line of work – well, you’d make heaps.”
    Bea hadn’t really
thought much about that comment, but she had felt nice that Lisa, who she’d
always admired, thought she was beautiful, too. She’d never have dreamed that a
few weeks later, she’d be in the situation she was in.
    She remembered
returning from work to find Lisa on the phone, talking agitatedly. Bea couldn’t
help sending her flat mate a worried look as she let herself into the
apartment.
    “Anything wrong?”
Bea asked with concern when Lisa ended the call and flung her phone unto the
nearby couch.
    Lisa shoved her
fingers into her hair to clutch the blonde strands, a perfect picture of panic
and distress. “Nothing…I mean, I guess I’ve got a bit of a problem. Okay, more
like a major problem.” She grimaced. “My normal efficient and professional
agency has just double-booked me. I’m due to meet one of my most esteemed
clients tonight; I’ve already been sent the
