Jack could see the anxiety on Laura's face. He understood; tonight was going to be difficult for her. An unreasonable client, a stern and authoritarian boss, and intimidating coworkers had truly created an unhealthy work environment. It was really unfortunate that Laura had to stay there too. She didn’t even have a break to rest for a moment. No wonder Laura was so stressed, Jack thought.“You should take a shower first to freshen up.”Laura smiled awkwardly. “Alright, Sir.” She felt like an idiot. How could she forget the first step before dealing with a client—preparing herself as best as possible? She was in such a mess right now, sweaty, and looking absolutely unappealing.In the bathroom, Laura's heart was still racing uncontrollably, beating fast as though she were about to go to war. She exhaled several heavy breaths. Honestly, the nervousness she felt now was greater than when she started her debut as a prostitute.After putting on a bathrobe, Laura didn’t immediately leave th

As planned, this morning Jack was excited to buy a new home. On his old scooter, he sped toward the elite Blossom Hills residential area. As a priority customer with the highest savings balance, Jack received a special invitation from Greatest Bank to attend an auction for a luxury apartment flat in Greenwoods City, held at that residential.When he arrived at the venue, there was also an exhibition for other luxury units still available. The event, called PropVaganza, was attended by many people from various walks of life. Some came with the intention of buying, but many others were just there to browse, take photos, find a date, and casually stroll around, especially since the event was enlivened by performances from local artists.Jack was enthusiastic about the exhibition. He took a brochure provided to learn about the amenities in the apartment. "Interesting," he commented briefly.Although the flats in the Greenwoods City apartment building, which had 17 floors, were impressive,

The auctioneer walked to the podium in the center of the stage. On the right side of the stage, five committee members sat in a row, each responsible for answering calls from the phones on the table in front of them.Indeed, although the number of auction participants physically present in the Blossom Hills hall was limited to just 50 people, the auction was broadcast live to the public through a national private radio station. People could place bids via phone.The auction for the flat apartment owned by collector Steve Brown opened at $5.5 million. Both the direct and indirect participants eagerly placed their bids. A woman in a blue dress sitting in the front row raised the price of the flat by $50,000. Not to be outdone, another participant placed a bid $100,000 higher than the starting price.The phones rang with calls from people wanting the apartment. The committee members would announce their bids by stating the caller's name and the offered amount. However, if the bid was not

Tom walked off the stage after tapping Victor on the shoulder.Victor thanked him again for the opportunity. He was deliberately modest, saying that Tom was still cooler than him.Jack smiled wryly, knowing that Victor's remark was just to make him look like a humble cool man. Jack was sure that deep down Victor must feel a lot cooler than Tom.“Some of you may know me as the senior manager at EchoBuild Construction. And, while running errands for the company, I unexpectedly met Mr. Philanthropy. How I knew it was him was because he said so himself.”Victor paused for a moment, giving the people in the hall a chance to comment, or more precisely, allowing them to praise him first. "How do I know he's not someone pretending to be Mr. Philanthropy? The answer is simple. I actually met him when the free dinner at Sweetsky restaurant was held. That night, my fiancée and I were supposed to have a romantic dinner there to celebrate our engagement. By the way, I’m a special member at that r

Tonight, for the first time, Jack will stay in the Greenwood City apartment building located in the Blossom Hills residential area. Since entering the flat he won from an auction event, Jack smiled with satisfaction at its classic interior. Everything inside felt just right—neither excessive nor lacking, elegant, and unique. The dominant color was white.During the day, when the curtains were drawn back, the flat’s windows offered a beautiful view of the vast mountains. Not far from there stood a magnificent villa, renowned for its expansive green lawn. Professional golf tournaments were often held there. At night, the still-clear sky displayed a breathtaking twinkling of stars. The luxurious villa, complete with a man-made lake, was called New LuxGolf Villas. Jack was planning to buy it too.Jack had already lain down on the premium bed, preparing to sleep, but then he remembered the reward he would receive after completing the mission from the System. However, up until now, his body
