Chapter 3 He happily told her that the girl he liked was coming back

He stood behind her and carefully helped her fasten the necklace, just like a thoughtful boyfriend helping her put it on, even taking the opportunity to tidy up her hair.

　　Fiona suddenly remembered the first time Joseph brought her jewelry.

　　Many people thought that Fiona climbed up to Joseph after becoming a model, but in fact, Fiona knew Joseph much earlier than that.

　　She was 17 years old when she was in her first year of college.

　　At that time, she was tight on money, so she looked for various part-time jobs: fast food restaurant server, flyer distributor, receptionist... She had done many jobs, but the easiest one among them was accompanying wealthy people on dates.

　　In today's society, there are many wealthy successful people who like young and beautiful girls, but they don't have much time to meet, pursue or spend too much energy maintaining this relationship. Therefore, rental websites that cater to their needs have emerged.

　　The website where Fiona used to work part-time charged its registered members a high annual membership fee, allowing them to select their preferred girls on the website based on their own preferences and send them invitations.

　　The first meeting usually involves eating and watching movies. There may be deeper needs later, but they are based on the voluntary agreement of both parties. There are many young and beautiful girls on the website, and guests have many choices. Generally, they will not force anything and tear their faces.

　　Although the hourly wage offered by the website is not too high, the clients who go on dates usually give some gifts, such as brand-name handbags and jewelry, which can be sold on the second-hand market.

　　At that time, Fiona had a heavy workload on her study and didn't have much time to spare for part-time jobs. She felt that this work made money quickly, so she worked part-time at this website for a long time.

　　She was beautiful and had a great figure. Although she clearly stated in her profile that she did not engage in sexual activities with clients, many still invited her to events and gatherings for support.

　　Fiona met Joseph at that time.

　　At that time, because the clients of the website all had a need to protect their privacy, Joseph did not tell her his real name.

　　Speaking of which, it was also strange. Joseph met her through a website, not because of a banquet or business occasion, nor did he seem to be looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend or a romantic relationship. Every time they just ate together, chatted, watched movies or listened to concerts.

　　He seemed to really just want someone to accompany him.

　　Although Fiona couldn't guess Joseph's thoughts, she enjoyed his elegance and humor and was happy to accompany him. He also seemed to enjoy her company and would give her some jewelry or something every time they went out.

　　Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches...he always gave her a small gift every time. Fiona usually sold them right away. One time, Joseph found out. She thought he would be angry, but he just laughed and said, "Why didn't you just tell me? If you prefer cash, I can give it to you directly."

　　Later, Joseph stopped giving her gifts and directly transferred money to her during their dates.

　　But Fiona was not accustomed to such naked transactions. She always felt like she was selling herself. Joseph later realized this and changed to giving gifts instead. However, he always kept complete receipts, so Fiona didn't have to resell them in the second-hand market. She could just return them to the store for a refund.

　　The two continued to meet up and have meals as usual... This kind of relationship lasted for almost half a year, until one day, Joseph received an overseas call. He happily told her that the girl he liked was coming back to America.

　　"Although there is nothing really between us... but I'm afraid she won't be happy, so I probably won't ask you out again in the future."

　　So on that day, Joseph ended his relationship with Fiona and introduced her to a job as a model for jewelry with similar pay.

　　That job introduced Fiona to the modeling industry, but also made her realize Joseph's true identity and the gap between them.

　　The gift that Joseph finally gave to Fiona was a dragonfly brooch. The two drop-shaped emeralds on the dragonfly wings could be removed and used as earrings.

　　Fiona ultimately kept it.

　　In theory, there should not have been any more entanglements between the two since then, but Fiona often recalled the scenes of their dates together.

　　Later, someone recommended her to participate in the "New York State Angel" model competition, and she agreed without hesitation.

　　Winning awards, signing contracts; stepping to international runways, she finally managed to become famous.

　　After she met Joseph again, she used some means to firmly hold onto him.

　　Because of the wedding canceling incident, the outside world said that Joseph owed her a lot, but in fact, he had also given her a lot.

　　Sitting on the sofa at home, Fiona opened the photo taken today at the jewelry store and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

　　Today at the store, she just wanted to cause trouble, so she deliberately said she liked that necklace.

　　Unexpectedly, Joseph actually seemed like giving it to her, but before that, the store manager cried and said that a diamond on the necklace had fallen off and needed to be repaired.

　　Fiona understood the meaning, and immediately took off the necklace tactfully.

　　She thought it was all over, but to her surprise, she received a message after returning, saying that the necklace had been repaired and asked when she had time to pick it up.

　　The information came from a stranger, but Fiona knew it must be Joseph who asked his assistant for her number.
