"Is that a beard that I see growing on your face?" Claudia asked him with her hand trailing down his jawline. The dinner ended and her parents left for the hotel where they had books to stay at night, leaving just Tristan and Claudia alone.They both sat in the living room and watched a movie together and at the end of it, Claudia looked at his face with a smile only to notice his facial hair becoming more profound."How did I not notice this earlier?" she asked herself."Beard?" Tristan asked, using his hand to feel his face."Yes, beard, you are getting old, like how old were you again? sixty?" she asked jokingly.Pretending to be annoyed, Tristan pulled her close to his chest and said,"Can a sixty-year-old do this?" he leaned over and kissed her cheek so softly and passionately that he sent Claudia dreaming about stars."So, can a sixty-year-old do that? " he asked again, ceasing his action and waiting for her to reply."You tell me?" Claudia said trying to hold herself together,
Claudia couldn't believe her eyes, the necklace before her was one of a kind and he knew it, her mother had a similar necklace which her father gave to her on their wedding anniversary, but now receiving it from Tristan as a first gift gave he a feeling that was out of this world."Tristan!" she exclaimed, staring from the necklace to Tristan and back,"You got to be "A heritage in bloom!" she exclaimed.A Heritage in Bloom as it was called, is one of the most expensive necklaces in the world, reaching over two hundred million dollars, not even Tristan knew about this, all he did was ask Max to purchase the most expensive necklace he could find, he didn't even know what it looked like before giving it to her. "That's what it's called?" Tristan asked but was cut off by Claudia's sudden embrace, she wrapped her hands around him like he was a pillow, and didn't want to let go."Thank you," she said."You are welcome." Tristan retorted with a smile and hugged her back, without resisting t
When his eyes opened, Tristan saw nothing but himself on the bed, he squinted several times and was delighted since he felt a lot better than last night, the last thing he remembered was talking with Claudia and she offered to sing to him."Did her song send me to sleep?" he thought,"And where is she by the way? " he asked, sitting up and resting his back on the bedframe.Just then, he remembered the systems notification which he had ignored last night."So what was the task you said?"/ loading...//New sub-quest// Show Claudia's mate how rich you are and make them pay for the things they said to her// System will reward you with 30 exp points and 5 gift points/"Oh, that's why I am here haha, well it's good to get rewarded for it nonetheless_" Oh, you are up! " Claudia's voice disrupted his thoughts, she walked into the room with a tray balanced on her palm. She placed the steaming hot breakfast on the side." Good morning, "Tristan greeted, " You get ready for class this early
Claudia saw him approaching , and she quickly took out her phone to call Tristan, only to see that he had already left her a message less than two minutes ago."Good," she uttered with a sigh of relief."This a**hole is going to get what he deserves," she added and quickly sent her location to Tristan and went further to ask him to get there quickly.Tristan on the other end reacted with a thumbs-up emoji, and Claudia smiled menacingly." Hey," the young man said to her, his name is Tony Watson, son of Gabriel Watson, a prominent name in the music industry. Tony's father had collaborated with Claudia's father in the past when their hit album "Street Brat" was released.During this period, both Claudia and Tony were little, and had seen each other once, but were never aware of it. Since Claudia's entrance into the college, Tony has been torn in her flesh, and it got worse after they both found out that the their fathers knew each other, and Tony couldn't help but keep falling for the
"How much did she pay you?" Tony asked Tristan with a menacing grin, but Tristan was quick to silence him with a punch to the face, drawing the attention of all the students who were present in the cafeteria.Tony's bodyguards acted forward to capture Tristan, but Tony held up his hand and asked them not to."Don't worry, I'd take care of this fool by myself," he added and proceeded to retaliate by punching Tristan, but his fist was caught midway and twisted by Tristan causing him to wince in pain.This time, Tony's bodyguard didn't wait for instructions, they immediately held Tristan's hand and tried to pull him down, before they could go too far in their actions, Max's hand grabbed them both from behind and slammed their heads together.They both staggered like drunkards before falling to the ground."Who the fuck are you?" Tony asked Max."You don't touch my boss or I'll rip your head off your neck..." Max, " Tristan stopped him and then faced Tony who was holding onto his wrist t
[The system has rewarded you with 30 exp points and 5 gift points][6 points have been deducted in place of the points borrowed by the host]"I wonder how the director knows you," Claudia asked while they were not seated in the car, she couldn't help but recall the incident that would save her a lot of trouble probably till she left college."I don't know either, he's probably heard the news about Project PI I suppose," Tristan answered."At least no one will bother you again after today," he added with a smile."Exactly, especially Tony," Claudia said. They both went back home later in the afternoon and afterward, Tristan got ready to travel back home, he had a wonderful stay with his girlfriend but that had come to an end, he still had the system to face.~~~~~~With the falling leaves and cold weather, marking the beginning of autumn, Tristan did not want to get out of bed.Wrapped in his sheet and wishing the night would start all over again, Tristan received a phone call from the
"Thank you very much, sir, we'll see to it, now that you have approved it, we will get set for production," the production manager thanked Tristan as they both walked out of the meeting room."Very well then, let me know when you are ready, I wish you well," Tristan answered and shook hands with the manager before heading back to his office.He couldn't stop thinking about the game, about how good it'd feel to live a video game, and not just that, but feel everything as if it were real. And since it was related to the Halloween theme, he couldn't think of a better time to launch the game other than October, but that depends on what year the production is completed.Taking his seat, he placed the document that the clerk had given to him on the desk and stared at it for a while still wondering what its content would be.He opened it and took out the note to see a computer-typed and printed letter from Marie.{Thank you once again for everything senior, I've been processing my admission
The car was parked outside the restaurant, but Marie was having a hard time getting out of the car, her body language gave off fear with a mix of anger and anxiety.She kept on looking at every side as if someone was haunting her to be killed. As soon as she stepped out, she hastened her footsteps until she was inside the restaurant. The guards found it strange, but didn't act too much on it, instead, they took her to the seat reserved for just Tristan and herself.She took her seat still uncomfortable, she swallowed hard as she held onto the necklace she was wearing, she was about to take it off when someone walked into the restaurant as well and gave her a sinister sneer.As soon as she made eye contact with him, she took her hand off the necklace and acted composed, even though her facial expression showed how nervous she was.She stole a glance at the man who had walked in constantly, even when he took a seat at the far end of the restaurant, and this man was none other than one o
