When Sophia made this confession to me I didn't know how to react. I was stumped and stood in one place for a very long period of time. And soon all the students began to murmur among themselves. "Is he going to accept Sophia back? Or is he gonna reject it?" "Wouldn't it make him stupid if he accepts her back? She betrayed him once and I believe she's going to betray him again if given the chance." "It won't make him stupid. The girl has actually come to apologize to her in the public. Give her some break." "What break are you talking about? She's a rich brat and that's all that matters. A leopard will always have its spots. She cannot change from her behavior!" "Who are you to judge her? Have you dated Sophia before to know that she can't change?" "You aren't even getting what I'm saying. This girl left Jason for good when he was poor and wen
I was at a loss at this particular moment. Paulina had just called me her man out of the blues and I didn't know how to handle the situation which was developing into something else. "What do you mean he's your man?" Sophia asked as she pulled her hand from Paulina's grip. "When did Jason become your man actually?" "I should ask you that question," Paulina said with a straight face. "Since the day you left him to die, when did you start feeling love for him?" "You're talking nonsense," Sophia said. "I just admitted my wrongdoings and asked him to forgive me and he did." "He did?" Paulina showed a surprised look before turning to look at me. "Did you forgive her after all these things she has done?" "I—" I stammered and didn't know how to respond properly. With the way Paulina was staring at me, I felt she was feeling disappointed and heartbroken. But w
I didn't know how long I kissed Paulina but it was the most beautiful thing I've ever done. My brain registered the whole feeling and interpreted something very ethereal to me. My mind felt very refreshed as if all my troubles had left me. As I kissed Paulina I felt the entire world stand still around us. And that was how it was supposed to be for us. I wanted the world to stand still for us so that there wouldn't be any trouble or disturbance in this blissful moment. I so wished that this moment would last forever and not be disturbed. Finally, I withdrew my face from her and could see the shock in her eyes. It was as if she couldn't believe that I would take the initiative to kiss her after hesitating to answer her questions several times now. But her shocked expression only made her cute like a baby. My heart couldn't help but melt for us at this point in time. "What's going on Jason?" Sophia suddenly asked. I bet she
That day I decided not to go to classes again and make up with Paulina for all the hardships I've caused her. I wanted to show her that I loved her dearly after all this time of having issues with her. Now that she'd finally taken it, I needed to show that I loved her as well. I pushed the wheelchair towards my car and helped her out of it before carrying her into the front seat of the car. During this period everyone was staring at me while conversing among themselves. They didn't stop doing the live streaming and even came close to us. Of course, I didn't mind them and carried the wheelchair into the boot of the car before entering into it. I then drove the car out of the school campus. During this moment there was a deep silence between the two of us and the atmosphere was very awkward. Finally, Paulina spoke up," You don't hate me for what I did today, right?"
After communicating with the Enigmatic System about helping me make Paulina a player like me, I turned to her and said, "Do you believe me if I say that you'd be able to get back on your feet today?" I stared into her eyes with a very soft expression. My gaze this time wasn't filled with craziness despite the Joker personality trying to act up right now. I didn't care about my Joker personality and didn't bother to control it. I decided to be myself and flow fluently. Paulina looked into my eyes for a long period of time before saying, "To be honest I have my doubts. I really can't believe that I would be able to get back on my feet. Even with your special abilities, I don't think you're capable of that." Although this wasn't what I'd wanted to hear from her I wasn't disappointed. This was because Paulina was the most honest girl I've ever met. She spoke her mind instantly without trying to please me.
After the excitement we both got into the car and I decided to take her to one of the biggest restaurants in the city to eat. We ordered fried rice with salad and sat down to eat. With the current money in my account I could continue living a luxurious life without being afraid that I would go bankrupt. "So...what level are you as an Enigmatic player?" Paulina asked me as she dug her fork into the chicken before slicing a small proportion of it away with her knife. "My level?" I raised my eyebrows. "I'm a level three player." "You became a level three player and it hasn't been up to three weeks since you got the Enigmatic System?" "Yeah," I replied. Was it something to be shocked about? The missions I took were dangerous so was the quest which I had last taken. In fact it was the most dangerous thing I'd ever agreed to. I still remembered being almost killed by t
As I saw the men in black hop out of their cars, I couldn't help but wonder why the Wade family was always sending their men to hunt me. I shielded Paulina who didn't have any player skill yet as the men aimed their guns at me. "Long time no see," Darwin said as he walked towards me. "It hasn't been up to hours and you're already enjoying yourself." "What do you want?!" I immediately yelled at him as I clenched my fists. "What do I want?" Darwin asked in a very cold voice. "Of course you know what I really want from you but are you willing to give it to me?" As I stood facing them I couldn't help but wonder how to get myself from this situation. Darwin didn't know that I was the person from last night who had stolen Dominic's criminal record. This was because if he knew, he would have attacked me a long time ago without engaging in small talks with me. "Who is he
When we got to the house Paulina was still shivering from the whole incident. I would have been scared if this had been the first time witnessing something like this but I was already experienced. I have taken different types of missions and gained experience from them all. "Who the hell was that really?!" Paulina was screaming when we got to the sitting room. Her entire body was covered in cold sweat and she was already panting. "Easy, Paulina," I tried to calm her down. "We didn't get hurt so why are you still scared?" "Aren't you scared?" she asked me in surprise. "Yes," I replied. "I'm really scared of that guy and it's because I can't fight him yet. But I can always find a way to escape since I already know five of his players' skills and can guard against them." "No wonder you reacted quickly to the lightning strike," Paulina said thoughtfully.
