When Jayden went back home, he was surprised that Temi had already prepared dinner. Thanks to the fact that he had gotten some groceries a few days ago, she might have found the job easy.
"Hey, you are here. Where did you go?" Temi asked with a smile on her face as she approached him, helping him pull off his shoes before he could even make an attempt himself.
"I had an appointment with some business planners," Jayden lied.
Of course, there was no way he was telling her where he had actually gone.
"Cool, ready to have your own company?" She smiled at him.
"Yeah," Jayden replied.
"But you'd need a degree certificate for that, you know?" Temi stared sharply.
"Yeah, I do. That would be ready within three months. Don't worry," Jayden smiled.
After pulling off his shoes, she brought the meal on a tray and placed it on the table. Since this wasn't some expensive apartment, it only had two rooms without a dining room, and they both had dinner at the table in the living room.
While they ate, Temi just couldn't stay silent.
"I really don't know how to thank you for what you did for me. I never expected it, Jayden. You changed my life," she said with a very sincere expression.
"It's nothing, Temi. I can do anything just to make you happy," he said as he gave a reassuring smile.
"Great then... Jayden. I have a request," Temi moved her hand towards him from the opposite side of the table.
Jayden's eyes sharpened. "What request? Name it," he replied calmly, though there was an entirely different reaction in his mind.
'What if she wants to ask for more money?!'
'Maybe she is one of those ambitious ladies... She might ask for twenty million. I'd be drained!'
'I slightly smell a gold-digger!'
Jayden's thoughts almost made him go insane, but he was calm on the outside, staring right into Temi's eyes.
After taking a deep breath and with a slightly hesitant look, Temi finally voiced out,
"Jayden... Be my man."
Jayden froze for a moment, then he blinked more often than normal.
That was uncalled for... Truly.
He never expected it, or did he?
"Uh... Umm..."
"I want to be yours, Jayden. I want you to be mine," Temi said with absolute sincerity.
Jayden just sat there speechless for a while...
'Is it because of the money?'
'Or is it because she loved the way we had sex?'
'Ahh, my head. What do I say to her now?'
> [What do you expect from a woman who already has 84% Affection for you? It's like you take the affection bar for granted. It's not for camouflage, it's for real!]
Jayden saw the system's message and blinked.
'So, what do I do now?' he asked.
> [Be her man, host. She'd help a lot.]
Jayden quickly nodded to that, and then looked back up at Temi, who was just curious about why he was silent.
Before his lips rose, he muted again and questioned the system inwardly.
'What about Camilia?'
> [She would definitely be yours.]
'How can she be mine when I go about having Temi?'
> [That's the purpose of the harem, host. You can have more than one lady by your side. Not just for romantic purposes, and that's literally one of the goals. It would be a helpful move.]
The system made sure to convince Jayden, and good thing, it won, and Jayden only went ahead to reply positively to the woman he spent the last night with.
"I'll be your man, Temi," he replied with a soft voice and a smile, one that held curiosity behind, but he looked forward to what the system had in mind with the harem, and since that was not the only thing to think about, he was fine.
"Really?" Temi asked as her face brightened.
Jayden nodded to her as he grinned, and in the next moment, the young lady stood and approached him, kissing him on the lips.
[Harem member Nurse Temi Grace has an update on the Affection bar.]
[Affection: 87%.]
'Whoa! It keeps growing,' Jayden thought, wondering how she was falling so hard.
It didn't take long before she slept off in his arms in the living room, and then he had to take her to bed.
He covered her with a blanket after placing her on the bed and gave her a stare.
Her face looked cuter while she slept. He couldn't deny that.
Soon, he left and settled in the living room, and then moved forward to business.
He hadn't made use of the two Wealth Points he gained after completing the task, and hadn't attempted to check out the skill.
"Now let's take a look," Jayden smiled and went ahead to check out the skill first.
[Skill Name: Operational Charisma Intelligence.]
[Description: You have the ability to gather teams, change personality in any situation, handle traps and issues with excellent strategies, and run any organization under your power.]
[Perk: This skill automatically increases your Intelligence and Charisma by 20%.]
"AHH, that's something cool," he muttered.
> [True. A lot is coming, Jayden. You need to be ready... You'd need much aid from me.]
Jayden hesitated and nodded.
"I know..." he said and paused. "I guess I'd be the one bringing the problems on myself."
The system didn't respond...
Instead...
[You sure you don't wanna use the Wealth Points yet?]
"Of course I want to," Jayden quickly replied with a smile as he quickly went forward to using the Wealth Points.
Shortly, the system brought out clues about what he could use two Wealth Points to get. The options he saw blew his mind...
Sure, he knew that a Wealth Point was of great value, judging by the real estate investment he made. But this one...
With just TWO Wealth Points...
[Asset unlock completed!]
[You have used 2 Wealth Points to unlock an asset.]
[Congratulations, you have gained an asset!]
Within a moment, he suddenly got a call on his phone.
"Hello?" A soft feminine voice sounded from the other end.
"Hello? How may I help you?" Jayden asked.
"This is Sabrina Jonah. I'm the Grand Ambassador of Zintech Automobile," the lady introduced.
"Ohh..."
"You are Jayden Cole, right?" she added.
"Yes, I am," Jayden's eyes were beginning to broaden.
"Okay, sir. The former Chairman, Mr. Johnson Williams, just confirmed that he had sold the company to you. His lawyer and secretary have confirmed it as well, and it was said to be a secret deal. Is that right?" she asked.
Jayden froze.
It was actually the asset he had just unlocked with the two Wealth Points he had gained!
Again, the system had almost stunned him to death.
"Uhm, yes..." Jayden replied, trying not to make an odd reaction. He could save that for the moment after the call ended.
"Alright, sir. We are solemnly inviting you to make the final step to visit your company tomorrow and sign the final document. Thank you, sir, and see you soon," the lady said and ended the call.
"WHAT?"
"Zintech Automobile what???"
Jayden couldn't help the happiness that soared through his heart, but he was still surprised.
'How is the system doing all this?'
But he figured that wasn't necessary now...
What's necessary is the fact that he was now the owner of an Automobile Company!
...
Camilia stepped into the living room the moment she arrived at the Frost Family's Fort, her heels clicking against the polished marble floor. The mansion was unusually quiet, except for the soft hum of classical music in the background.
Her father, Gary Heston Frost, stood by the tall window, a glass of wine in his hand.
Sitting on the velvet couch across from him was a young man... tall, sharp-jawed, and dressed in a navy blue suit that screamed royalty.
Camilia's eyes narrowed instantly.
"Camilia," her father said, voice smooth but firm. "This is Prince Kael of Nortasia."
Kael stood and smiled. "Pleasure to finally meet you, Camilia."
She didn't smile back.
"Finally?" she asked, crossing her arms. "You make it sound like we've been pen pals."
Heston quickly cleared his throat. "There's no need for sarcasm. We're discussing something important."
Camilia arched an eyebrow as she turned to her father. "Which is?"
Her father turned to her, serious.
"Your engagement. It's been arranged. Once you graduate in three months, you will marry Prince Kael."
The moment those words drifted into Camilia's ears, her heart seemed to stop.
