Whenever

Helen Paul yearned for a career, rejecting the confines of a comfortable but limiting future. Her ambition to become an administrative assistant was a paramount goal, one she vowed to accomplish by any means, even if it involved presenting herself as an ornament to a wealthy man. Her involvement as an escort was intended solely as a business arrangement, a strategic tool to finance her studies and break free from an undesirable existence. Helen had carefully segregated her life, maintaining emotional detachment from her clients. These relationships were meant to be impersonal exchanges, devoid of real feeling, and certainly not a scenario where her affections could become involved. She had perfected the practice of emotional distance, viewing love as an unaffordable indulgence that would jeopardize her primary objective.
