Chapter 283 $100,000 Companionship "Uh..." Victoria's expression stiffened before she said, "She might make it tough for you. I'll make an excuse. She'll just givea dirty look and won't do anything to me." "It's okay, I'll cwith you." Sadie was already slipping on her shoes. "I know Amelia's temper. I won't let her give you a hard tbecause of me." Sadie followed Victoria to Amelia's room to drop off sdocuments.
Micah wasn't there.
Amelia slipped into a comfy robe, lounging on the couch with a drink in hand. Her long, graceful legs were stretched out on the coffee table, exuding a blend of aloofness and elegance. "Ms. Amelia, here are the files we've just finished, along with the USB drive containing the project plans and proposals," Victoria said respectfully, offering the items to Amelia. "Thank you," Amelia's gaze settled on Sadie. "Just put them down." "Yes." Victoria placed the materials on the coffee table. "Well then, we'll just-" "You go ahead. I want to have a word with Sadie." Amelia gestured, seemingly polite. "Sadie, what are you standing there for? Sit!" Victoria frowned at Sadie.
"Thanks." Sadie sat down casually.

A staff member delivered a cup of coffee to Sadie and then left the room.
"Looking quite flushed and healthy, I see," Amelia told Sadie with a smirk, her eyes cold.
"What do you want to say, Ms. Amelia?" Sadie asked bluntly.
Amelia sat up, pulled out a checkbook, wrote an amount, and handed it over to Sadie with an air of condescension.
"What's this about?" Sadie asked, puzzled.
"I did schecking," Amelia said, arching her brow and scoffing. "You know, there are girls who'd go for a few hundred at a time. Prettier ones on the fringes go for three grand. Then there are the social media models and fresh faces who command between $8,000 to $10,000. As for B-list celebs, their rates vary-" "What are you getting at?" Sadie interrupted, agitation in her voice.
Amelia looked her up and down with a sneer, "At best, you'd be worth $10,000. But since Micah fancies you, I won't insult his taste." Amelia leaned in, tapping Sadie's cheek with the check. "From now on, for every tyou sleep with Micah, I'll give you $100,000. Consider it a token of my gratitude for keeping my fiancé satisfied in my stead!" "Enough!" Sadie pushed her away furiously. "You're out of line!" "Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Amelia cooed mockingly. "Seething with rage, are we? You seemed to enjoy yourself well enough in bed with Micah just a minute ago. But don't get too comfortable. You're nothing more than an outlet for his desires, you know." "You" Sadie was about to retort when the door swung open and Micah stepped in.
Spotting Amelia's smug smirk and Sadie's fuming demeanor, Micah's brow furrowed. "What are you doing here?" he asked icily.
"She was just dropping off spapers for me," Amelia replied with feigned politeness. "Earlier Mr. Waters had the misfortune of spilling red wine on her, so I offered her a check as compensation. Unfortunately, she declined!" "No need." Micah plucked the check from Sadie's hand and tossed it into the trash. "My employees, I handle myself."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Well then," Amelia purred, sidling up close to him. With a raised eyebrow, she turned to Sadie and asked, En "Aren't you leaving?" Enraged, Sadie's face turned ashen as she stood up and stormed out.
"Wait a minute," Amelia called after her.
Sadie paused in her tracks but did not turn around, waiting for Amelia to finish speaking.
"There's a party tonight. You should come," Amelia generously suggested. "I'll have a dress sent over to you later-get all dolled up." "No, thanks." Sadie couldn't wait to get out of there.
"Oh con," Amelia said with a sugary smile. "An old friend-of yours will be there too. Friends gathered together makes for a lively party!"
