It would seem as though an icy flood of water was poured on Cory from his head to the toes. This was the last thing he wished for himself. Not when there were a hundred prying eyes waiting to mock him. The system has never lied to him. The system has always helped him complete his tasks. Then what went wrong this time?Suddenly, he recalled what had happened when he treated Anna. He had treated her and had done as the system had instructed. But the treatment didn't take an immediate effect. Could that be the same situation here? Could it be that the system was getting acquainted with the process because it was the first time? "Why are you so quiet suddenly?" A sudden voice knocked him out of his thoughts. When he turned, he saw a proud Elaine with a smirk in her face. She must really be enjoying the moment. "Did cat catch your tongue? Oh, now you are not bold anymore?" She scorned, walking closer to him. "Didn't I warn you? I told you that big talk does not cut it. Now what? You

Cory was surprised. He couldn't have imagined that Harry would know his slave. He quickly took a glance at Elaine and then back to Harry. Looking back at Harry, he noticed that Sheiley was also stunned to see Elaine. At this point, Cory couldn't help but wonder who this Elaine really was. "Isn't this the most beautiful and popular actress of the trending Love series?" Harry looked so thrilled as he gazed at Elaine. "She is. This is the great and classy Miss Elaine." Sheiley nodded, looking quite surprised too. Cory was the only confused one here. How come he was the only one who didn't know this Elaine?Well, before Cory got the system, his life was pretty boring. He had no friends, no help, or nothing like that. So, all his life, he was always about riding the company scooter and delivering packages to customers. He never had the chance to sit by himself for a day. Most times, he would get back home late and slump into bed, still dressed and dirty. Things changed a little bit w

The call had been dropped, but Harry was still hanging on to what his father had just said. Anna, the only daughter of Lord Theo, now has a boyfriend? A man with supernatural qualities?Although Harry has never known Anna personally, he had read about her. There were several articles published by anonymous sources about the private life of Anna. Anna was said to be the kind of lady who leads a celibate lifestyle. She never associated herself with young men, no matter the status and connections of their fathers. Nor how rich the man was. In short, Anna had almost set a company on fire because she refused to be an arranged wife for a notable trillionaire. Many people had concluded that she wanted to remain this way because she was training her heart to be cruel in order to inherit the Mafia legacy of her father. But now, his father had just told him that Anna finally got a boyfriend?!What were the odds? Who was he? He definitely must be a god come down from the heavens. "Who could

The next morning, Anna was in the backseat of her Maybach talking over the phone with her father, Lord Theo. "Anna, you do know that you are not in the state to move around." The voice of a concerned Lord Theo was heard on the other end of the phone. "You don't have to worry, Father. I'm fine. Cory made sure that I was fine and you could testify to it, too. Throughout the night, I didn't have that ruthless coughing session. That's the first time ever." Anna tried to convince her father. There was silence on the other end for a while. Then a sigh. "Still, you have to be careful. You are the only one I got. Aside from the fact that someone has to inherit all my wealth, I don't want you for any kind of stress. You know this, too. You know that if you want the whole university in your room, I will make it happen." Lord Theo urged. Anna chuckled at what he said. "Who would believe that the most feared Mafia Lord in the whole country is talking so sweetly?" Anna teased. "Silly girl."

Anna was way too gobsmacked to react. Her fragile jaws had fallen to the floor, and she was reluctant to pick them up. As soon as Cory had said those words, he turned to open the door. Anna quickly reached out and grabbed his arm. She stopped him from opening the door. Cory froze in the act, unable to continue with what he was about to do. He turned slowly to look at her. "I'm sorry." Anna said softly to him. Her words were so soft and effective. Her tone was surreal, and her facial expression to match. She hadn't only said the words, but her blue eyes emphasized how much she meant them. Cory sighed. He loved it when someone accepted their wrongs and apologized. He was glad that Anna broke her ego and did this. "I shouldn't have said that to you. It was unreasonable of me." Anna added. The driver was obviously fuming at the front seat. He knew how powerful Anna was. Why the hell would she apologize to someone like Cory? If he was left alone with a choice, he probably would be b
