Coda watched his every action wondering what she’d gotten herself into.
Chapter 2
Coda must have beenout of her mind to accept a proposal like this. Being paid to accompany a billionaire on a weekend getaway was like something out of a movie. Things like this didn’t happen to girls like her. But she found herself in the upscale Manhattan boutique trying on every designer dress in the place anyway. In an hour she’d be headed to Connecticut with a complete stranger.
What choice did she have? She and her mother were one month away from being evicted. The bills had piled up and her mother needed physical therapy for her back. The insurance company only paid a percentage and without the therapy her mom wouldn’t be able to go back to work. Coda saw an opportunity and she took it. She knew how to survive.
“Here, sweetie.” Kendal Mason, the owner of the boutique came into the dressing room and handed her six matching bra and panty sets. “You’ll need these too.”
“Um, underwear? I don’t need those.” She did have some of her own clothes. She didn’t need Cannon paying for her unmentionables too.
“No offense.” Kendal glanced down at the cheap bra she wore. “You could use some new underwear. Trust me, Spencer will love these on you.”
“No, it’s not like that.” Heat crept up the back of her neck.
“Don’t be embarrassed. Spencer’s discreet. He didn’t tell me anything, but when a man is willing to drop fifteen grand in an hour so you have everything you need for the weekend, I’m betting he’s going to see your panties.”
“Fifteen thousand dollars?” Coda needed to sit down. She was aware that Cannon had tons of money but she never imagined she’d ever see so much.
“That’s a bargain. You’re getting three designer dresses, shoes, lingerie, and casual clothes for five days. I wanted to do jewelry too but Spencer told me not to overwhelm you.”
“Of course, because spending thousands of dollars in less than an hour shouldn’t overwhelm me.”
“It’s not an issue for Spencer. You must be pretty important to him.”
“I can’t try anything else on.” Coda had tried on at least thirty dresses and countless jeans, shirts, and shoes. If she couldn’t handle the shopping portion of the deal, how would she manage pulling off being the billionaire’s girlfriend?
“I’m having everything folded and neatly packed into your luggage.”
“Luggage?” Coda had shown up to the boutique with a duffle bag she’d gotten from a department store giveaway.
“I took care of that too.”
“Is there anything you haven’t taken care of?”
Kendal was Wonder Woman in couture.Who needs a cape?
“I get paid well to dress women like you. Spencer asked and I was happy to oblige.”
“Are the two of you... I mean, were the two of you...” Coda didn’t know why she cared but her curiosity had gotten the better of her. “Did you date?” A real girlfriend would ask that question.
“No.” Kendal smiled but didn’t offer any more information on the subject. “Wear this adorable outfit today.” Kendal handed Coda a simple sleeveless, dark green dress. “The brown knee high boots go with that one. I’ll make sure all of these get into your suitcase.” She took the underwear and headed to the front of the store.
Coda changed into the dress and zipped up the boots. She took in her reflection in the full length mirror. Not bad. Expensive clothes and sexy panties really did make a difference. She pulled her hair up off her neck.
