A Desperate Bargain

Part 4

Sophie took a deep breath and made her way back to Mr. Jenkins' office, her heart heavy with the weight of her decision. She had tried to come up with a plan, to find a way to escape the situation, but it seemed like she had no other options. As she walked in, Mr. Jenkins looked up from his desk, a smug expression on his face. "Ah, Sophie. I was starting to think you'd decided to take the streets," he said, his voice dripping with condescension. Sophie felt a surge of anger, but she pushed it down. She had to get through this. She had to make a deal with him, no matter how much it disgusted her. She walked over to the chair in front of his desk and sat down, trying to steel herself for what was to come. "I'm here," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Mr. Jenkins leaned back in his chair, a sly grin spreading across his face. "Good. I'm glad you decided to see things my way. Now, let's get down to business. You know what I want, Sophie. I want you to undress and we can discuss the arrangement." Sophie felt a wave of revulsion wash over her, but she steeled herself. She slowly stood up and began to undress, her hands shaking as she pulled off her clothes. Mr. Jenkins watched her, his eyes gleaming with excitement. As Sophie stood before him, naked and vulnerable, she felt a sense of degradation wash over her. She had never felt so low, so powerless. But she knew she had to get through this, no matter how much it hurt. Mr. Jenkins leaned forward, his eyes roving over her body. "You're very beautiful, Sophie," he said, his voice dripping with sleaze. "I'm glad we're doing this. I think we're going to get along just fine." Sophie felt a wave of nausea wash over her, but she kept her face neutral. She had to get through this, no matter what. She had to make a deal with him, no matter how much it disgusted her. As Mr. Jenkins began to speak, outlining the terms of their arrangement, Sophie's mind began to wander. She thought about how she had ended up here, in this situation, and how she was going to get out of it. She thought about her friends and family, and how they would react if they knew what was happening. But for now, Sophie was trapped. She was trapped in a situation that seemed to have no escape, and she had to play along. She had to pretend to be okay with what was happening, no matter how much it hurt. As Mr. Jenkins finished speaking, Sophie felt a sense of resignation wash over her. She knew what she had to do. She knew what she had to say. And so, with a fake smile plastered on her face, Sophie began to play along.
