Chapter 929 The List
Samuel was led into the small section outside the main venue by Anastasiya. He didn't know what she was trying to achieve but she was serious about getting him there. As soon as he entered the room, he noticed the presence of several dozen people inside.
More importantly, all he could see were female guest, some models, some artist but they were all attractive and weirdly they were staring at him intently. He started getting nervous considering if it was one of Anastasiya's crazy ideas.
" Ladies, I present to you the man of the hour!" She exclaimed and reached for his mask. Samuel was too caught up in the events to resist.
When his disguise came off, there were several sighs and moans from the small crowd. The overhead lighting in the room was sufficient for them to see the face behind the mask. Anastasiya somehow convinced them to come here promising them a couple of days of paradise and apparently, he would be the main dish for her presentation!
Her plan was to get his mind off others and enjoy himself, it was her way to get him to focus on their deal. She knew Samuel wasn't someone who would actively pursue beautiful girls because he feared for the worse which meant she had to act as his manager to oversee things.
Everyone here knew what they were getting into. These famous people weren't prone on lingering with the crowd, they had too much to lose if things leaked out to the public. Which meant sometimes, they had to pretend to be in a relationship to bolster their image while other times, they would be burn badly due to horrendous scandals.
Anastasiya's proposal was straightforward, she didn't told them about the identity of the man but showed them a couple of picture when he was swimming in the pool. She also blurred his face a little so that they wouldn't recognize him.
Next would be the fun part, for few days he would spend time with them which would melt away his worries along with his stubborn heart which was fixed on people like Helga. It would show him that there was more to life than to always care about others' well being, he needed to live a little in the present.
The list of people that she came up with were carefully crafted, these people wouldn't care about anything other than privacy. They would never leech on to his wealth because she would be there to protect him. They were also busy chasing their dream which meant they would never want to settle down with him.
Lastly, they were currently either in pretend relationship or flat out single so there would be no friction in the future.
Samuel on the other hand was shocked. His eyes darted around the room and all he could see were beautiful women looking at him with a mix of hunger and lust. The whole room seem to be filled with their desire but he could also distinguish some dangerous individuals among them due to his susceptibility.
It didn't take long for him to understand what Anastasiya was trying to do but it didn't help ease his mind. Was he just a gigolo in her eyes? Or she had other plans for him? He did check her intent and knew she wasn't trying to harm him. It began to set in that she really was a crazy women!
" Everyone, I don't know what she told you but I am not interested. She must be playing a prank on all of us and probably recording it from some corner in the room. If you don't want to get into sticky situation, please leave. I will make sure this doesn't gets out." Samuel announced. It was their turn to be shocked as they started looking around desperately to find any clue of her deception.
They couldn't believe they were so naive as to jeopardize their career. Maybe the half naked photos of him coming out of the pool was enough to awake some inner demons in them but that went away quickly after his sincere apology. They started to leave while giving Anastasiya a nasty look.
Anastasiya also came out of her stupor trying to stop them but he held her close giving her a smack on her lower cheeks. Before she could howl he placed his hand on her mouth to prevent him from moaning or making any sound. His apologetic look was enough to make the ladies understand, he was just teaching her a lesson.
They didn't really care because they didn't want to implicate themselves further. If there was a recording, anything they say now could be used against them in the future. Strangely, he found few girls still staying in the room.
Anastasiya who was glaring at him also relaxed seeing that maybe her plan would work. Samuel decided to let her go and walked up to the group of girls to clarify the matter but before he could address them, one of them spoke first," Hi, I agree to your conditions." She said cheerfully.
She stood up and extended her hand. Samuel recognized her as she was one of the most prominent supermodels on this era. With a height of six feet wearing heels and a elegant dress that hugged her like a second skin, he knew she was slender and beautiful and dreamgirl of many mans around the world. He didn't know why exactly she was here.
" Miss Swanepoel, aren't you currently involved with someone? I don't know what she told you but this was just a crude joke on her part." He reached for her hand and shook it gently without any hint of closeness. He had his morals, not to be involved with someone who was already taken.
" Why? Am I not attractive enough?"
" It's not that. I am just as clueless as anybody else." He shook his head trying to act like a gentleman.
" Than we have a deal. I will see you later. If I stay here for long, my agent would start to get worried." She didn't answer his question just touched his cheek and gave him a cute smile before walking out of the room.
Samuel had to say she was an attractive woman, she had looks but her confidence was infectious to say the least. He turned back to look at her to while she glanced at him too giggling on her way out.
" That was easy." Anastasiya commented but he wasn't in any mood to say anything to her. He would soon get his answers either by coercion or 'torture' either way she had to confess what she was doing in his absence. He enjoyed spanking her luscious butt and she would be getting more in the future.
" I am sorry-"
" It's fine. We agree too." The other two ladies also stood up with wide smiles on their faces. Both were prime victoria's secret angels in their prime, one known for her dazzling smile while the blonde one known for her curvaceous figure, one of the most sought after bikini models.
" Wait! Miss Kerr, Miss Upton. We still have to talk!" He saw them walking away not knowing what they were agreeing on.
" Leave them be you will see them soon enough."
" This is a disaster." He mumbled focusing on other two prospects. A nubian beauty who was famous for her one in a generation voice while the other one looked more exotic but she seemed too young to be here. After three encounters, he didn't know what to say to these two.
" Miss Fenty-"
" Stop, you don't have to explain. I get it." She also stood up walking toward him but unlike others, she had a stern expression. She was about five feet eight inches, a head shorter than Samuel while the other one looked scared to be here.
She had fair skin but it had a golden hue to them, with a set of long black hair couple with her youthful expression that looked more like a girl next door look, she had different cuteness about her which was hard to describe. But at the same time, he could tell she was weary of him not meeting his gaze, her dress was also ordinary probably because she was new to the modelling business.
She also looked no younger than Nicole, he could see there were many similarities in their demeanor.
The dark singer came close to his face staring him in the eye like she was trying to search for something. She extended her hand but not to greet him but to grab his chin, it was like she was admiring him in her own weird way.
By now Samuel had enough of their antics, he grabbed her wrist separating himself away from her. For a second, he saw fear in her eyes but it soon subsided to a fury but it didn't seem to be directed at him.
" You can leave. I will not respect someone who is cleary hostile to me." He ignored the singer reaching for the other one. After few words with the young girl, he understood her accent and began conversing in her native tongue.
It made her relax a little, she also told him what her and Anastasiya talked about and everything about her plans. Samuel was furious to say the least but for now he kept his composure not to hurt the little girl's feeling. He led her outside to her work friends who didn't even notice that she was there.
She expressed her thanks but he told her it was nothing. For the rest of the evening, he acted as her guide introducing her to many people but knowing her background, many people weren't interested in her.
Samuel knew she was just a rough diamond, with some effort she could become a model but it would take time. He told her about his idea to which she agreed. Anastasiya kept a close eye on them from afar, she was scared to face him but she knew she had to do it for his sake.
In the end, he promised the girl that he would take her with him and introduce her to some of his friends. She might not make it here but in her home country with his support she could become successful, maybe try something else for a chance. It was his way to ease her tension and to let her know that not everyone here was snobe like she previously thought.
She knew his proposal was dangerous but just like Helga and others, she too came here alone to make a name for herself to get a fresh start. And for some reason, she felt she could trust him especially when he spoke her native tongue so fluently.
On the other hand, Samuel vowed to not repeat his mistakes and keep to himself. He could alert Lucie and see if their division in that country could do something about it. It's been few months since they started expanding in Asia, it could be just the push they needed to make a name as an entertainment behemoth!
