Later that day…
"Kaia, dear, lunch is ready…", Kaia's mother called from the hallway.
Kaia groaned into her pillow before answering: "I'll be there in a minute!"
She didn't want to get out of bed. She managed to sneak out of the hotel with Bryn and the two of them parted ways to head home.
Kaia got into her room without bumping into her parents and she swiftly changed from the evening dress into a t-shirt and jeans, just in time to hear a knock on the door. It was her mother. She heard Kaia coming in, but she didn't see her, so she came after her to check if she imagined the footsteps as Kaia and her father should both be at work.
"I thought you are working today…", her mother said when she peered through the door. She didn't ask Kaia where she spent the night, because she assumed that Kaia stayed with Bryn. Since they got the job at Blanc, Kaia and Bryn started spending time together. They bonded over their two-weeks long training, and in the last two months, they are almost inseparable.
Kaia bit the inside of her cheek. She forgot to tell her mother that she got fired, and this does not sound like a good time to say so. "We are doing an unexpected remodel and the store will be closed for the next few days."
"Oh, I see… Will you be here for lunch? Or do you have some other plans?"
"I will be home. I don't have plans to go out today.", Kaia responded stiffly.
"OK. I will make you a tasty lunch then…", Kaia's mother said in a singing voice and left the room. She was happy to see her daughter at home and spend some time with her because lately Kaia is either at work or hanging out with Bryn.
Since that chat with her mother, Kaia is on her bed, hugging the pillow and rewinding the evening while trying to understand what happened.
How is it possible that Dylan, Zayne, Alex, and Malik saw them as hookers? They were obviously with them because they got drinks and because they were handsome. Four guys, all good looking with promising background, and Kaia was confident that she scored a jackpot only to realize that she was fooled. She remembered the indifferent gaze Dylan gave her that morning, it was stark opposite from the lecherous one he gave her during the night. She read the situation wrongly. If she could go back, she would demand to spend the night with only one guy and not make it a group activity. Only if she knew. How frustrating.
Kaia was in shock due to her dream of snatching a rich boyfriend crumbling into her image of a prostitute, and she forgot to check social media to see the status of the smear campaign which they started against Blanc on the previous day. The reputation of Blanc was the least of Kaia's worries now. Other than the promising evening which ended up being a fiasco, Kaia needed to figure out how to tell her parents that she got fired and she needed to do it soon because the third person who got fired yesterday was her Uncle, her father's brother, and he will definitely talk to her parents.
Her father is strict, and he always urged her to get the job. Kaia's father was not happy that she got a job as a salesgirl in the mall, thinking that it does not fit their family's status, but when he did a background check on Blanc, he was convinced to let her work there. The bonus was that his brother was the manager, so Kaia's Uncle could keep an eye on the girl.
Kaia's family is not rich, but they are doing well for themselves. Kaia's father is a manager in the nearby factory and he only hopes for the best for Kaia.
At some point, Kaia heard a commotion downstairs. She frowned while wondering what is going on. Is that her father's voice? Shouldn't he be at work?
The noise increased in volume as heavy footsteps approached Kaia's room and her door opened with a bang.
"Explain yourself!", Kaia's father shouted from the door while holding onto the doorframe.
"Honey, what is going on?", Kaia's mother asked from the back. She saw that her husband is upset, but other than curses the man didn't say anything since he came into the house. He is usually a calm man, and she had no idea what possessed him.
"Ask your daughter!", he said through his teeth while glaring at Kaia. "When were you planning to tell us that you got fired? Instead of telling us what happened, you went to party?"
Kaia's mother frowned when she heard that Kaia got fired. She knew that her husband was not fond of that job because he didn't see many career advances, but the fact that Kaia kept something so big a secret was a problem because Kaia's father never tolerated lies.
Kaia paled. She wondered how her father found out and what version he heard. Does he know that she went to Reflex? Does he know that she ended up in a hotel room with four guys? "Who told you?"
He narrowed his eyes. "Does it matter who told me? You got fired and instead of telling us, you go to party with your friend? How long were you looking for a job? And how long did it take you to lose it? I thought that being a salesgirl is below you, but now I realized that you are not capable to even keep that job. Is that how we raised you?"
Kaia decided to play it safe and assume that her Uncle spilled the beans. There is no way that her Uncle said the truth because it would implicate him as well.
"Daddy, you don't understand… I am so much better off than being there. That is a corrupt company, and they take advantage of their employees." She saw that her father looked at her suspiciously and she got an idea that will redirect his rage. "Why don't you look online for trending local news? There are so many scandals involving Blanc. Just yesterday they asked us to entertain high-profile clients and when we refused, they fired us. It's not just me, Bryn got fired as well, but we left that store with our heads held high. You always said that maintaining one's honor is very important…"
Kaia's father pursed his lips and got his phone. A few seconds after he started browsing, he paled and his hands started shaking uncontrollably as he moved from one article to another.
Kaia was confident that he saw some of the smear articles she and Bryn created. "See? This is what I was telling you."
"Is this true?", he asked weakly while trying to blink away the mental image of naked Kaia sprawled on the bed with her legs spread wide as a man is penetrating her and she is holding onto the erection of another man.
"Of course, it's true. They are despicable! They wanted me to do indecent things and when I refused they told me that I'm fired. They didn't even give me a second…"
'PAK!'
Kaia stopped talking when a heavy slap from her father landed on her cheek.
"Daddy, why did you hit me?", Kaia asked in disbelief as her eyes filled with tears. Her father was always strict, but he never hit her before.
"Ray, why did you hit her?", Kaia's mother finally spoke, but her husband ignored her.
He was glaring at Kaia and his face contorted in fury. "Indecent, you say? I wonder, what is indecent for you if this is normal!? I don't see anything bad about Blanc, but there is plenty about you!"
He flicked his phone that landed on the bed behind Kaia and stormed out of the room. If he stayed there for another second, he would strangle her and he needed a drink.
