James led Levi into the conference room with the kind of respect reserved for serious money. The room itself showed wealth, polished mahogany table, leather chairs, and a bottle of wine that probably cost more than most people's monthly rent sitting in the center.
"Here sir, you may need to read through these for future reference," James said while gesturing as an assistant brought in a mountain of books and files.
Levi glanced at the pile with zero interest.
"Stop. I don't need unnecessary crap like that, I just need the money that comes out of it."
James nodded without pushing further. Rich people were all the same they wanted results, not paperwork.
[SYSTEM - NEW TASK AVAILABLE] [TASK: Seduce the Actress Lesley Hampton] [REWARD: Aston Martin Vantage]
Levi's eye twitched slightly as he read the notification.
For real? This is too much, he thought to himself, rubbing his temples. Didn't I just get a car? But well... you can't ask a man to say no to a car, right?
He accepted the task without hesitation.
The conference room door burst open suddenly. A female employee came running in, her face flushed with panic.
"Sir, Ms. Lesley is filing a lawsuit against us."
James's expression shifted immediately.
"What? Why would she do that?"
"She rented an Aston Martin from our hotel car service, sir. But now it's not available," the girl explained as her words came out quickly. "A high VIP purchased it before her reservation could be fulfilled."
Levi kept his face completely neutral, though internally he was already connecting the dots of the car.
"Sigh, well this is my caused problem anyway," Levi said, standing up from his chair. "James, I'll go handle it."
James looked at him with clear confusion.
"Sir, I'm not sure what you mean, but—"
"Room number?" Levi cut him off, already moving toward the door.
"It's... 2709."
Levi took the elevator up, his mind running through what he might find. "She's an actress, so she must be pretty, right?" he thought stepping out onto the 27th floor.
He walked down the corridor and found the room.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The door opened, and his eyes nearly fell out of his skull.
Lesley stood there in nothing but a nightrobe, her hair still slightly wet from the shower. The robe clung to her body erotically. Not too busty, not too skinny, but perfectly proportioned. Water droplets still glistened on her skin, and her dark eyes studied him with seductiveness.
Levi found his gaze locked directly on her chest, unable to look away.
"Hmm?" Lesley tilted her head slightly, clearly amused by his reaction.
"Oh... I'm Levi, the new partner of this franchise," he said forcing himself to make eye contact. "I heard you had a problem with the car rentals. I hope we can resolve this without things going too far."
The incubus charm hit her like a wave. Levi watched as a slight blush crept across her cheeks and her eyes softening.
"It's fine... you guys can just rent a new car for me."
"How about you book me instead?" Levi suggested smoothly to get the chance. "I'm a taxi driver temporarily, you know."
She blushed deeper, tucking her wet hair behind her ears.
"I don't think I can afford to rent you if you're a partner here. You must have some kind of supercar."
"I do."
"Then it will cost a lot," she replied.
"Who said I need money?"
Lesley was clearly shocked by his answer, but she seemed to interpret it as him just trying to impress her.
"Wait here, I'll change and come back," she said, disappearing into the bathroom.
But before Levi could even sit down, she emerged again - this time pulling him inside with her as she started changing right in front of him.
"Whoa—" Levi immediately closed his eyes while turning his head away.
How indecent. But didn't I already see her body in one of her movies anyway? What's the point in being shy now?
After a few minutes, she emerged fully dressed in a stunning red dress with complete makeup. The transformation was crazy, she looked like she'd walked straight off a fashion show.
"I'm done changing, so let's go," she said smiling at him.
Levi offered her his elbow, and she took it. They walked downstairs together like some real couple.
On the ground floor, chaos was unfolding.
Ayuri was there, trying desperately to get the guy she was with to leave. She was practically shoving him toward the exit.
"You should go now. I'm done with you,In some time Levi will come. I should be alone."
The guy's face turned red with anger and humiliation.
"Bitch, you were the one talking about offering virginity and all, not me! Now you found your ex got rich, and suddenly you miss him?" he spat, "I know why he doesn't give you shit."
He turned and left without another word.
Ayuri's friend, who'd come with her leaned over with a knowing smirk.
"You did dump him because he was poor. Do you really think he'll accept you now?" the friend asked.
Ayuri smiled wickedly.
"As long as I act pitiful, he'll easily accept me. Men are all the same."
But then Levi appeared at the top of the stairs with Lesley on his arm.
Her eyes went wide and she came running over immediately.
"Levi, hey! Who's she? Did you tell her about us?" Ayuri asked desperately, trying to grab his hand.
"Why does it matter to you? Don't you watch TV?", he said and pulled his hand away. Why doesn't this bitch just leave.
Lesley stepped forward, her actress instincts kicking in. She wrapped her arm around Levi's and looked directly at Ayuri.
"Is this the one you mentioned?" Lesley asked with a smirk. "You even complimented me for having better skills than your ex at 'certain things'."
Levi immediately understood what Lesley was doing - she was playing her role perfectly, putting Ayuri in her place.
So that's what you're doing, a slight smile crossing his face.
He pulled Lesley close and stared directly into her eyes. She blushed immediately under his gaze.
[SYSTEM - FULL SEDUCTION COMPLETE] [REWARD: Aston Martin Vantage + 3,000,000Z]
Levi made sure to say his next words loud enough for Ayuri to hear them clearly.
"She's sure a naughty one, talking about private stuff like that."
Outside the hotel, Lesley smiled at him.
"Nice save there."
"I'm an actress. Reading situations is my job," she replied with a wink.
They walked to the Aston Martin, and Levi slid into the driver's seat. The car purred to life, absolute fucking heaven.
"So where are we going?" he asked as they pulled into traffic.
"A place called Royce. My friends are having a wedding there. They're all actresses, so they're a bit rude. Just a warning."
"Well, doesn't matter to me."
Outside the Royce venue Lesley's friends were waiting impatiently.
"Where is she, so late?"
"Did she find another man to sleep around with?"
"She doesn't even talk to male actors properly. What boyfriend could she possibly have?"
Then the sound of the Aston Martin's engine cut through their gossip, making them all turn to look.
Lesley stepped out wearing sunglasses. She bent toward the car window where Levi sat.
"I helped you out, right? Now you help me too," she whispered with a smile.
Levi smirked at her.
"Darling, have fun today," he said in a voice loud enough for her friends to hear clearly.
He drove off right after, leaving them all wondering who the hell that guy was. No contact exchanged, no ID shared with Lesley, unknown if they would ever meet again.
Levi headed straight back to the university dorms to catch some sleep.
Morning came, and Levi stretched luxuriously in his dorm bed.
Yawwn... I haven't slept this comfortably in a long time.
His roommate knocked on his door.
"Yo, Levi, let's go eat breakfast together."
"You guys go ahead. A girl's going to bring me breakfast," Levi replied while getting dressed.
His roommates exchanged shocked glances.
"I didn't expect him to start talking nonsense right since morning."
"I heard he started part-time work. Maybe he's stressed?"
"He wasn't okay after being dumped, man. We should take him out to drink and let him cry," a third added.
While they gossiped Levi was getting dressed happily, unaware of what was happening across campus.
That morning, both Ayuri and Nyx had posted on social media overnight.
Ayuri's post read: "Bidding farewell to the past."
Nyx's post read: "Turns out the person I've been looking for was always near."
The other guys on campus didn't know these posts were about Levi. They saw them as separate opportunities to score points with two beautiful girls.
Several guys prepared elaborate desserts and pastries, planning to offer them to the girls.
"You're also here to give a pastry?" one guy asked another.
"Yeah, I'm giving it to Nyx."
"I'll try my luck with Ayuri."
A senior guy walked past them with a knowing smirk.
"You all saw Ayuri's post yesterday, right? She said some new guy dumped her. Pretty stupid of him.What's the difference between you guys and that idiot Levi? He dumped her in a second too."
He looked toward the entrance.
"Hey, look they're finally here," the senior pointed out.
Ayuri and Nyx walked into the cafeteria together, and immediately the guys swarmed them like bees to honey, offering their food gifts like they were making offerings to gods.
Ayuri and Nyx accepted them politely purely out of habit and reputation. Neither of them particularly wanted the food.
The senior guy spotted Levi walking in with his roommates and couldn't resist taking a shot.
"Hey, Levi, just got here, huh? Don't you also want to give her something? Although you were just dumped, hehe. Looks like you were late, so come back tomorrow."
But before Levi could respond, Nyx suddenly bolted from her seat.
She came running over to him carrying the food boxes in both hands.
"You didn't eat anything since last night, right?"
"I was surprised since I saw your message, but yeah, you said you'd treat me," Levi replied.
His roommates' jaws dropped.
"He wasn't lying," one whispered.
"Thank god he wasn't in some hallucination," another added in relief.
Nyx bent down slightly to show him the contents of the tiffin, and Levi couldn't help but notice her cleavage pressing against the neckline of her shirt.
"Here, try this. I made it with mom," she said softly.
[SYSTEM - AFFINITY UPDATE] [NYX : 79 → 89]
Levi stared at the notification in confusion.
She just brought food. Why is her affinity increasing? he thought, looking at Nyx's hopeful expression.
The other guys stared at them both with envy and disbelief. Nyx had completely dismissed all their gifts to focus solely on Levi.
