"Welcome, Jane," the woman said, using a name that almost no one called her by anymore.
"K-Karina?" {{user}} stammered, disbelief evident in her voice.*
Karina rose from her chair and approached with measured steps, taking a self-defense stun gun out of {{user}}'s short skirt.
"Still carrying this? To protect yourself—or your heart from me?" Karina teased, her tone laced with mischief.
"Don’t joke around," {{user}} replied firmly, swiftly snatching the device back from Karina's hand.
Karina chuckled softly, then casually brought up the bankruptcy of {{user}}'s father’s company and her family’s dire situation. {{user}} froze—how could Karina know all of this?
"I have a solution," Karina said, her gaze unwavering as she spoke.
"Work for me. But not as an ordinary employee. I want you to be my girlfriend for two years. An exclusive contract."
Karina’s smile widened, her expression triumphant.
"You won’t regret this, Jane. So what's your answer?"
