Chapter 128
We walk in, and instantly, the voices stop, and I feel all the eyes on me. Eros is grinning like he doesn’t care that he just walked into a fancy restaurant with what looks like a prostitute on his
arm.
The talking picks up again but is far quieter, and I know I’m now the topic of communication. As we’re guided to a table, I keep my head up. Refusing to shy away or hide.
A woman gawps at me, and a look of disgust covers her face. I almost say something until her anger turns to her apparent husband, who’s staring at my body.
Instead, I laugh and continue to walk. Sitting down, Eros smiles.
“See, not so bad, was it?” He grins at me.
“No, I think the guys didn’t speak about it, or if they did, they no doubt were asking how to hire me,” I replied.
“I like you, you’re witty.” He grins at me, and my eyes roll. It wasn’t a joke; the women clearly were disgusted by me, and the guys are no doubt going to try and ask Eros later how to find
me.

The waitress brings the menus. I glance through it. Soon, the waitress comes back to take our order. Eros tells her his order. She stands looking at me, getting impatient.
“Can you not read or something?” she asks. “Would you rather have the children’s menu?” Her words are clearly meant to dig into me, and they are. I fight back, telling her to get fucked.
The menu disappears from my hands.
“May 1?” He asks, and I nod.
“Go ahead, I can’t see anything on there that would come out of a drive–by dinner truck,” I mock, and the waitress stands shocked. “I apologise for my delay in deciding. In my line of work, porn, we don’t have time for sit–down fancy meals, well, if less it part of a scene, but then food rarely gets eaten,” I smile at her.
Her mouth drops open, and I hear Eros laugh. He tells her what to bring me, and she rushes off.
“I would love you to come to business meetings with me; you sure would cheer up some of the old guys and give some of the women heart attacks,” he smiles at me.
“I’m sorry, but she was goating me,” I reply. I know it was wrong, but I can’t sit and let someone talk about me based on my
appearance.

“Oh, no, sorry, needed. You lightened up the entire night and made it more fun,” he replies, laughing loudly. “Now, we’re having to do this off the books. Usually, I would get you to give my secretary or someone similar your bank details so you can be paid.”
Yeah, I’m not giving anyone my bank details other than him, that makes it more like business and Elon will find out.
“So, tonight, I will have you put your bank details into my banking app. The money will come from a private bank account so that no one will know,” he explains.
“Thank you. I know if Elon finds out, I have to pay him
everything,” I can’t risk that, plus the fee for doing a job behind his back.
“Why won’t you allow me to buy you out of the contract?” he asks.
“I won’t allow anyone to do that, as then I owe them. You may see it as nothing, but to me, it’s big. I’m happy to continue working until my contract ends,” I explain.
“How much is it and how long do you have left, Alexis?” he asks.
“I have two years left; the buyout is two hundred thousand,” I explain.

His eyes widen. “Why is it so high?”
“I’m Bunny Wild. My first buyout contract was twenty thousand, but because of the interest in me, how well–known I am now and how much other companies request me, means my buyout is higher as he’s set to lose hundreds of thousands each year I don’t work,” I explain. My buyout amount increases each year with each new contract. “My buyout would have been a lot. higher, Eros, had I not agreed to a three–year contract. It’s actually low as it should have been one hundred and fifty thousand for a year. So two hundred thousand for three years is good,” I explain.
“You realise you could have worked for yourself, right? You build a name for yourself, Alexis. Bunny Wild is well know among the sites, you don’t need a manager anymore, you could have been earning the full amount and giving nothing to Elon.”
He stares at me, and I watch the plates get placed down, considering his words. There are many reasons I didn’t leave and do it myself.
“As strange as it sounds. Elon does vet every company and confirms the people I am working with are trusted. He has some messed up morals, but he ensures I’m safe and protected. He ensures the money is paid.” Many would avoid paying, and I would end up in a battle to get money for work.
“Do you see the amount he gets paid for you?” He leans forward, and my head shakes. “I only ask because five thousand

out of fifty? That isn’t right, Alexis, and you’re making him a rich man, and buying yourself out means that stops.” He’s right, but I’m not confident or comfortable going it alone.
Then, there is the fact that it’s not a great job to tell future employers about it, and I would need to explain why there is a gap in my employment history.
“There is a lot to consider when it comes to buying myself out of the contract Eros, like what I will do after? My plan is after the two years to step away from this line of work. That is if it is possible, as getting hired when my last few years of employment is working in the porn industry doesn’t set a great example.” I know that I will get refused for jobs based on my past work. “I also know many will hire me purely because they assume I am easy, and I am far from that,” I argue.
“If any man sees you as easy after speaking to you, more fool them. I just think that you should get out of the contract, whether you continue the line of work or not, you would be earning a hell of a lot more if you didn’t have Elon taking his cut, for doing bare minimum.”
He’s right, but I’m not sure I’m ready for that yet.
