Meals of Misery

“Well… what do you want me to say”, Annetta looked up at them. Do they expect me to say yes to this? Am I even debating it? Ten grand… it’s a lot of money, but… “I mean… they want me to interview, let's bite the bullet here, sexual predators, right? And do this while being naked?”. “And they are willing to pay you ten grand per episode”, nodded Jim looking everywhere, but at the blond having the decency to at least be uncomfortable about all of this.

The TV chef felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it. They will probably want me to have sex with them as well, Jesus fucking Christ, Annetta cursed in her mind feeling a wave of nausea hit her as her legs suddenly felt like lead. “I mean, its just some sort of twisted and depraved interviews, right? Like “naked camera” type of news show? Only raunchier”

“Probably, they will also request you to sleep with your interviewees”, Aurelius said trying to sound sad about the prospect of seeing this buxom woman be degraded in such a way. The blonde’s mind was racing about the money, about the possible implications this would mean for her, for her family… Oh, Christ, my family, she groaned pacing around the executive office and rubbing her forehead.

“Guys, even, if I would agree to this, which I ain’t, you do know that we are broadcasting my cooking show in real time, right? I don’t think, that the people watching at home with their families and kids will find it pleasing to see me acting like some sort of porn bimbo while entertaining individuals of questionable walks of life!“, she shouted, the woman’s voice reaching a crescendo.

“Um, yeah, about that…”, Fox looked at her with compassion. “The people who want to see you like this, they have technology that would make it so, that while you are… entertaining… your guests for a lot of money… the viewers at home will be seeing a normal cooking show episode. These guys call it AI or something, I don’t know the details, I’m not an IT engineer”.

 “You can’t be serious?”, Annetta blinked at him. A technology that let’s people see different things from the ones that are happening in the studio? What the hell Star Wars type shit is this? “Oh, he is”, Aurelius said looking at the woman, while taking out from his pocket a small USB stick. “This was given along with the envelop full of cash”. The man unsuccessfully tried to give the stick to the mad-looking cooking show hostess, which currently was burning lasers in to their skulls with their eyes. “Do… you want… to see…?”

 “See what?”, Annetta sighted. “Um, it’s what the people are capable of creating to secure your anonymity and your family life”, explained Jim by putting his hand on her shoulder as if to comfort her. She shrugged it off and waved her hand towards the monitor hanging on the wall of the conference room. “Well, let’s see what these sickos are offering”, the blond morosely consented at least to watching some sort of depraved video.

She was starting to feel like some sort of pervert. Jim nodded to Aurelius and the balding man walked up to the monitor to insert the USB stick. The people in the room patiently waited for him to set up the files stored on the data storage. He selected the first file and clicked play. It showed a clip of last Wednesday’s political talk show called “People Are Talking”, in which the hostess, a blond slender woman with pixy cut hair, was interviewing politicians, who were bickering and squabbling about the usual things.

“Yeah, I guess we all saw how your ex-wife was grilling the guests as usual”, chuckled Annetta, remembering how Fox's ex-spouse Renata Brown liked to ask uncomfortable questions to get to the truth. Fox sadly smiled at this, but said nothing. “Show her the edited clip”. Aurelius selected the last file in the folder and clicked play. It was the same show from before, however, this time, things were different.

The people in the conference room were gazing open-mouthed at the scene, which played before them: Renata was splayed naked on the floor in front of politicians, her vagina glistening with slick arousal, which she was scooping with her fingers to wantonly suck up like a bitch in heat. The men were pouring hot chocolate on her naked body and licking it off of her. Annetta arched her eyebrows sky high when she heard Renata giggle in delight and ask whether she could suck the men’s cocks as compensation for such a wonderful evening.

This had gone on for a while, until Annetta had the decency and the brain power to turn this filth off. Cheeks burning bright red she looked at the men in the room with her. She could plainly see that they were trying to hide their erections in embarrassment. She hated to admit it, but she also felt a bit flushed remembering how she had fooled around with her husband Tomas in bed while watching porn. Of course, this was sparse and in between, cause she preferred vanilla sex with lots of foreplay beforehand. “Huh”, Annetta said out loud not knowing what to say anymore. “So, they have tools to edit videos, whoop dee do”.

 “And the capacity to air them live when the real thing is being broadcast to the viewers”, Jim said sitting down in his office chair and hiding his bulging crotch behind the desk. “Our IT techs managed to intercept this video, which you’ve saw, before the airwaves could broadcast it to everyone’s TV sets. That’s when those people contacted us, saying that it was just a test to get our attention”.

Annetta sighed. Was this really possible? Am I really thinking about doing this? “I mean, how… guys, I need more details about this arrangement”, she said nervously. Her throat dry.

“Well, you are in luck, because they want to meet you”, Fox said looking up. She jumped at that. “Fucking hell, Brown, Are you fucking serious? Meet with them? Alone? What the hell do you take me for? Someone who was born yesterday? I ain’t looking to be kidnapped and held as a sex-slave or worse”.

“Calm down, we are going with you. We will also be taking some of our security employees to the meet. Does that sound okey to you”, Aurelius said looking at the blond expectantly. “I promise, nothing is going to happen to you”. Annetta sighed shaking her head. She had a feeling that this was a baaad idea.
