The Billion Dollar Contract novel Chapter 2

Looking at her reflection in the mirror for the last time to convince herself that she was set for the day, she picked her black purse she had placed on the bed, it matched her black high waisted pants and grey turtle neck blouse, she slipped on her black stilettos and headed for the door.

She came out of the apartment building where she lived and inhaled the fresh air of New York City. She was quite excited about today, she hasn't gone shopping in like two weeks because she was busy taking care of her bills but today she wasn't going to let anything stop her from shopping after receiving a tip of a thousand dollars from a happy customer last night.

She wished she could get such tips everyday from her customers, 'one doesn't get that lucky every day' she concluded but she most certainly would use this money in making herself look good, she needed a new hair do, some new clothes and shoes to add to her moderate collection at home. She stopped a taxi, got inside and directed the driver to her desired salon.

After having her hair makeover, she had her finger and toe nails done and also changed her makeup from her regular everyday look. She left the salon and went into a boutique to shop for some beautiful clothes, she loved going shopping and she loved to do it herself. She never let's anyone do her shopping because she was quite picky when it comes to her clothes and that it because she has a very good taste when it comes to fashion and wouldn't settle for anything less no matter who it came from. Although the only thing standing in the way of her high standards sadly was money.

When she was done shopping, she decided to put on one of the outfits she had bought, it was a black high neck crop top with a black and white striped skirt with black lace heels

She loved this look and wished she could look this way every day of her life. She paid for the clothes and left the boutique heading home.

Nicole Robinson a 27 year old lady who lives in an apartment in the city of New York that was given to her by her best friend some years ago when she got a better job offer with a house in California.

She works at a VIP lounge bar in a pub, the salary is considerably good, at least she owes nothing and could still live well every month but sincerely that wasn't the life she wanted. She wanted to live the good life like the rich people do, a life filled with adventure and luxury, a life where she lacked nothing at all, that way she could go shopping every day, travel all around the world, discover new places, meet new people and not worry about money but that wasn't the case for Nicole, she had to work to make ends meet even though she didn't like her job as a waitress she had no choice since the pay was good, she had always wished that someday she would live the life she has always dreamed of even if it was just for a day.

Nicole arrived home and was placing her newly bought clothes in her closet when her phone began to ring, she carefully dropped her clothes and went over to her bed where she placed her phone

"Hey girlfriend"

"Okay. What is it this time?"

Nicole was certain that Vanessa wanted to ask a favor from her, she always did that whenever she calls Nicole girlfriend, Vanessa was really predictable
