Arriving at her humble one-room apartment, Camila found her mother lying weakly on the bed. Her mother, battling leukemia, was the reason Camila had been diligently saving money from her meager salary. But now, with her job lost, hope seemed to slip through her fingers like sand. A sense of despair settled upon her as she gazed at her mother's frail form, her tears flowing uncontrollably. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, interrupting Camila's sorrowful thoughts. Hastily, she rushed to answer it, finding her neighbor Melisa standing on the other side. Melisa's eyes scanned Camila's drenched appearance, curiosity etched on her face. "Why are you so wet? I saw you returning from work early today. What happened?" Melisa inquired, her concern evident. Overwhelmed by her emotions, Camila struggled to find the words. She couldn't bear the thought of her mother discovering her job loss, adding to her already fragile state. With a heavy heart, she let out a deep sigh and continued to weep, her tears mingling with the rain. Sensing Camila's distress, Melisa stepped closer, offering a comforting presence. "Please, speak to me. What happened? Your mother is resting, she won't hear us," Melisa urged, gently wiping away Camila's tears. "I lost my job," Camila finally managed to utter, her voice filled with a mixture of sadness and disbelief. The weight of her confession hung in the air, leaving both women stunned by the sudden turn of events. Melisa inquired, "Have you lost your job?" Camila quickly covered Melisa's mouth with her hand, glancing back to see her mother still asleep. "Please lower your voice, I don't want my mom to find out," she whispered. Melisa removed her hand and asked, "How did this happen?" Camila sighed, "I was framed by a jealous coworker for stealing jewelry. Niki has always been envious of me ever since I started working at Mrs. Caleb's house. She framed me, and Mrs. Caleb believed her, leading to my dismissal." Melisa questioned, "Did that wicked Niki actually steal the jewelry?" Camila nodded in response. "Oh my goodness, why couldn't you defend yourself?" Melisa inquired. "I tried, but it was too late," Camila replied. Concerned about her mother's treatment, Melisa asked, "What will you do now? How will you manage your mom's medical expenses?" Camila stood by the window, feeling hopeless. Melisa suggested a job opportunity at a nearby night club, where they were hiring staff. Excited about the prospect, Camila agreed to apply for the job. Melisa revealed that her boyfriend worked at the club, ensuring Camila a position serving customers. Eager to start working and save money for her mother's treatment, Camila asked when they should go. Melisa advised her to change and freshen up before heading to the club in the evening. It's already evening, Camila changed into one of her best dresses from her wardrobe, opting for a red shift dress. Melisa glanced at her from head to toe and wasn't impressed with her outfit. "This dress isn't nice," Melisa commented, but Camila stood her ground. "This is one of my favorite dresses and I'm happy with it. Please don't ask me to change," Camila replied, to which Melisa just smiled. "Fine, you're silly. Let's go," Melisa said as they left the house together. An hour later, they arrived at the nightclub. Melisa spoke to her boyfriend so that Camila could get a job there. Her boyfriend talked to his boss, who agreed to hire Camila on the spot. Camila accepted the job and Melisa wished her luck before leaving. Ethan Washington, the hot billionaire and one of the richest men in California, entered the nightclub. All the ladies couldn't take their eyes off him, whispering about him. Some tried to catch his attention, but he ignored them. Melisa's boyfriend instructed Camila to find out what Ethan Washington wanted. Camila approached his table, mesmerized by his looks. Ethan had left his house in anger after an argument with his wife, Charlotte, about their inability to have a child in the past five years. Melisa's boyfriend noticed Camila just standing there, lost in Ethan's presence. Ethan, deep in thought, didn't even look up to notice her. Melisa's boyfriend then approached Ethan's table and shouted at Camila, leaving her frightened and Ethan lost in his own world. The man was asked to express his desires instead of simply staring at him, which angered him. Camila tapped Ethan to get his attention, and he looked up at her. "Sir, what would you like to drink?" she asked politely. "Whiskey," he replied. Melisa's boyfriend then instructed her to come with him, while Camila served Ethan his drink. Ethan continued drinking until he became drunk, and the nightclub started to empty out. Camila noticed that Ethan was still seated at the table, drinking. Melisa's boyfriend asked her to inform Ethan about his bill. "Sir, your balance is one thousand dollars," she informed him. Ethan took out his wallet and handed her the remaining balance. Camila handed the money to Melisa's boyfriend and proceeded to the table where Ethan was seated to clear the empty bottles. However, Ethan grabbed her hand. "I am feeling aroused. Can I spend the night with you?" he asked, to which Camila became angry. "Sir, what do you take me for? I am not a sex worker," she replied angrily. Ethan stopped her and offered her one thousand dollars. "I will pay you one thousand dollars for tonight," he said. Camila thought about it for a moment and agreed, as she wanted to save money for her mother's treatment. She followed Ethan to a middle-class hotel, unaware that he was a billionaire. Ethan instructed her to undress, and she complied. They shared a passionate kiss, and he carried her to the bed.
