There had been a few changes made to the Moment of Bliss prize draw between the day when Zelina had pitched the idea and today, the day of the first actual draw. The name A Blissful Giveaway had been settled on. The prize, however, had been changed from a booking with Alexa to a booking with Bayley. To Zelina, that didn't make a whole lot of sense, but she wasn't the boss. Lastly, the draw had been opened up to all previous client, not just those on the repeat customer list.
Left in charge of the project, it was Zelina's job to draw the first winner, and to contact them to arrange their free booking. To that end, she had entered all of their client's names into a simple piece of software which would then choose one at random for her at the click of a mouse. Luckily, only new clients would need to entered before the next draw in three months' time, so she had now broken the back of the work involved in the project.
"Alright, let's see who our first winner is," Zelina said.
"Oh! Let me come and look!" Renee said excitedly from across the office. She got up and hurried over to Zelina's desk, where she stood behind her superior to look at her screen.
Zelina clicked the button to draw a name. When it appeared, it didn't stand out in Zelina's memory, and it meant nothing to Renee.
"At least it wasn't Dean," Renee said.
"I don't know if he would go for it anyway, now that you're dating," Zelina said with a knowing smile.
"We're not dating! We've been out to dinner a couple of times!" Renee protested on her way back to her desk.
"Uh huh," Zelina replied, showing exactly what she thought of that bullshit, in a good-natured way. "Anyway, it looks like I've got a call to make to our lucky winner."
Zelina found the customer record that matched the winning name, and clicked on the icon to have the computerised phone system call the number. She picked up her handset before the call connected, hearing a couple of rings before a voice came on the line.
"Hello?"
"Can I speak to Mandy Rose, please?" Zelina asked.
"That's me," the voice said, sounding a little cautious as to who was asking for her.
"Good morning. My name is Zelina. I'm calling from A Moment of Bliss. You made a booking with us a few months ago."
"I did," Mandy confirmed, now sounding even more confused as to the nature of the call. It was time for Zelina to give her the good news.
"We have just conducted our first ever prize draw, and I'm happy to tell you that you have won our first Blissful Giveaway. You're entitled to a free six hour booking with Bayley, our newest escort."
"Wow! Uh, really?" Mandy said, surprised.
"Yes, ma'am. A six hour booking at a date and time of your choosing, so long as Bayley isn't already booked for that time slot. I'll need to take down some details in regard to what you would like the booking to involve."
"Okay. Uh, wow. Where do I start?" Mandy said, excitement rising in her voice.
"Take as long as you like, and maybe think back to what you enjoyed on your previous booking," Zelina suggested, looking at the previous booking form on her screen.
"Actually, let me get somewhere where I have some privacy and I'll call you back."
"Sure," Zelina replied in a friendly tone. "Call back when you can, and we'll arrange your free moment of Bayley."
With each booking she did, Bayley found her confidence increasing. It helped that her client feedback had been excellent so far, as Alexa had been delighted to inform her.
Today, she was going to be working her first Blissful Giveaway booking. Thankfully, from her point of view, she was still going to be paid for her work. It was the company that was standing the cost for the sake of PR.
Under the tutelage of Alexa, Bayley had learned the practice of stopping for a coffee when she neared a client's address. It was a chance to freshen up mentally as well as getting a caffeine hit before arriving at the destination. It also gave an opportunity to have a final read through of the booking form. On this occasion, there hadn't been much need for the latter, as the request was not exactly complicated.
During the drive from the coffee shop to the client's apartment building, Bayley had chewed on a mint to freshen up her breath. She adored coffee, but no one liked coffee breath.
Having parked up outside of the building, Bayley took a moment to look at herself in the mirror. It was in these moments, right before starting a booking, that she often found herself struggling the most for confidence. She considered herself to be nothing like as beautiful as Alexa, and there was no doubt that she was so much less experienced as an escort. How could she hope to satisfy a client that had already had a moment of Bliss?
"Stop talking yourself down," she told the reflection. It was crucial to go into the booking with confidence, not second guessing herself. If she wasn't on top form, it would be noticeable to the client.
Forcing her negative thoughts aside, Bayley got out of her car and fetched her travel case from the trunk. With that, she was ready to head into the apartment building.
Entering the lobby, Bayley considered that the place looked nice enough, but was not necessarily the kind of place that people with enough money to be regular clients of A Moment of Bliss would live in.
Fifth floor, apartment 502, Bayley recalled as she stepped into an elevator. For her, at this point, every client she met was someone new. For the most part, she enjoyed meeting them, and she hoped that today would be no exception.
Arriving on the fifth floor, Bayley pulled her case over to the door with 502 on its plaque. There was an intercom beside the door, so she pushed the button and waited for an answer.
"Hello?" a woman's voice said after about twenty seconds.
"Hi, I'm Bayley from A Moment of Bliss."
"Oh, hi! One second, I'll let you in."
The door was quickly opened by a woman with long black hair. She had a big Roman nose, but was nonetheless very attractive. There was a warm smile on her face. "Hi, I'm Sonya! Please, come in."
"Thank you," Bayley said, returning the smile. Sonya held the door open for her, and she brought her travel case into the apartment. On first sight, she found it impeccably clean, and nicely furnished. There was a stunningly attractive blonde walking through the living area to greet her.
"Hi, I'm Mandy," the blonde said cheerfully.
"Good to meet you. I'm Bayley," she replied warmly.
"I can't believe we won the Blissful Giveaway," Mandy said as Sonya closed the door. "I literally never win anything."
"Well, you won this," Bayley said, smiling. "Six hours that will blow both of your minds."
"It's going to be amazing," Sonya said. "We didn't know Moment of Bliss had other escorts apart from Alexa."
"They didn't, until recently," Bayley said, again hoping that she would live up to the high standards set by the boss.
"Well, dark-skinned, black hair, you're certainly my type," Mandy said, eyeing her up like a whole meal.
"Thank you. Sounds like you're ready to start the booking?" Bayley asked.
"Unless you'd like a drink or something first?" Sonya asked, at least making a token gesture of playing host.
"I'm fine, thank you. All I need is somewhere to change."
"Follow me," Mandy said excitedly.
A/N: Thank you to everyone who left a review on the previous chapter.
Bayley met her latest clients. What do you think Mandy requested for their free booking?
As most of you know, I have a list of bookings saved for Alexa, for use in future chapters. What I need now are ideas for Bayley, so I'm looking for you guys to contribute. Let's see what you can come up with for her.
