Ethan’s heart skipped a beat just by looking at her, the way she said she was there for him, made it all worse for Ethan. It wasn't that he was falling in love with her but it was because of the system’s instruction.
“How do you feel? Do you feel pain?” She asked, with a worried look making Ethan come back to his senses. “I… I...” Ethan stuttered, finding the right words to say while she looked at him with a questionable look. At this point, he almost cursed the system for making him look stupid and giving a mission so abruptly. “What are you saying, Mr. Ethan?” She asked while she placed her hand on his chest. He knew it was his time to make a move, he couldn't continue to look stupid. He placed his hand slowly on hers and then looked straight at her. “I… I… am just too stunned by your beauty.” He muttered, with an intense look in his eyes. His words caused the doctor to gasp a bit, surprised because she never expected it. But then her pale and stressed face blushed slightly, regaining color. “Oh, wow…” She let out a shaky voice and then slowly slipped her hand away from Ethan’s chest while she placed a lock of hair behind her ear. “You must be joking. I look so stressed.” She said, looking the other way to control the smile creeping on her lips. It had been a long and tiring day for her, embarrassed by her tired looks but her patient was making her smile effortlessly. “Of course, not,” Ethan said instantly, letting out the most sexy smile he could pull off. “Alright, thank you.” The doctor replied as she tried to suppress her smile and regain her composure. Ethan thought of saying something more beautiful to her but then he realized he would come off as too pushy. It might even seem creepy to her, so he took a step back and that was for her to take a step forward to him. He let her examine him while his eyes followed every one of her moves. He wasn't trying to monitor her but then he had this hot gaze. At the same time, his fingers brushed over her slightly making her shiver a bit. “Is this making a real impact?” He asked, inwardly and he smirked, wickedly and that made the doctor raise her brows in question. “Why are you looking at me that way?” She asked, as she touched his chest slightly and the way she did it, she was trying to feel his chest muscles and she discreetly traced his muscles down to his abdomen while waiting for an answer from Ethan. “How? What do you see in my eyes?” He asked, as his eyes turned dimmer and hotter while his smirk grew into a proud one since he knew his flirting skills were working. He looked more confident now and that was the greatest appeal. “You look like you could devour me…” She bent down slightly, to whisper those words and some locks of her hair fell off. Ethan took the opportunity to take them in his hands, twisting them softly. He tugged on her hair slightly and she bent lower. “Would you want me to? Trust me, you won't regret it…” He said while he sniffed her hair. Her scent was intoxicating and he closed his eyes, inhaling more. By his actions, he showed just how intoxicated he was with her and this made the doctor feel good. Slowly, he let go of her hair, causing her to straighten up because the other patients had started to look at them, weirdly. There was only a curtain hiding them from other patients and it wasn't completely drawn closed. “We could swipe this curtain and you could tell me whatever you want me to do to you. Your wish is my command, lady.” Ethan proposed and then winked at her. His wink wasn't obnoxious but it was just right, blowing her away. At this point, he had scored himself a few points with the doctor. Her face was red as she started to think of different things he could do for her, right on that bed. But then she composed herself, knowing she couldn't do that to her patient. “I don't think we could do that here…” The doctor replied with a slight blush. Ethan was about to speak up but she cut him off. “Just relax, please, let me examine you calmly.” She ordered and Ethan nodded. But all through, he looked at her intensely and she could not keep herself from smiling and glancing at Ethan from time to time. “Alright, I'm done.” She said, slightly bent toward him and Ethan nodded. He didn't hesitate to brush his fingers on her cheek, trailing them to her neck. He then took his hand off. “Bye…” He said, waving at her with a sexy smirk. His actions caused the doctor’s face and body to turn hotter. While she left the hospital ward, she couldn't stop glancing at Ethan with a shy smile. As soon as she was gone, that robotic voice resounded in his head. [Mission completed!] Ethan was a bit elated to hear that he wondered what his reward to be. [You have been rewarded with $1 million and a 5-star hotel in the center of the city, The Star Hotel. You can stop by to claim your reward.] The system displayed details of the hotel on the screen and he made sure to take note of them. [You made a female attracted to you. Your new skill points are: Women picking skills: 2 Charm: 2 Looks: 3 Fighting skills: Level 1 Account balance: $1000000] “Holy fuck!” Those words exploded in Ethan’s head, seeing his reward. His looks had even increased. Was this just the beginning?Ethan's head almost exploded just by seeing the words on the screen. A million dollars in his account was a dream come true and now he knew this shit was real! With that money, he could clear all his debts and do whatever he wanted but above all, The Star Hotel reward was still shocking. At the same time, his phone dinged and he took it from the bedside and saw that he had just received an alert. Truly, a million dollars had been deposited into his account and he sat up. All forms of pain disappeared from his body and he started to grin from ear to ear. He became a bit anxious and he just wanted to get out of the hospital so fast. Two days passed and the doctor discharged him, although he didn't get to see the doctor who he flirted with, he didn't mind. Ethan was dressed in shabby clothes as he took a cab to the city center. Before being rewarded, he would always board buses to save cost and now he didn't care about the cost of a cab. Soon, he got to the entrance of The Star Hote
There was a silent stand-off between Ethan and Becca, alongside the men and women by her side. Ethan took a glance at them, his mouth twitching slightly, after a while, she turned around facing the receptionist. “How dare you ignore me?” Becca’s angry voice came just as Ethan turned around. “And what do you expect me to do?” Ethan’s mouth curled up into a smirk as he looked at Becca. “Kneel and greet you? Cause I don’t know what you are expecting from me.” He continued, and the smile on his face widened. “How dare you…” Becca gritted her teeth pointing at Ethan. Her face turned green from embarrassment. “Let me let you know something you don’t know.” Becca sneered, continuing after a while as it seemed like she regained her confidence. “You are at the bottom of the food chain while I am at the top. It's only right that you do what is due because you are not supposed to be here in the first place.” She said with a sneer and then folded her hands as if waiting on the said due.
All eyes turned in the direction of the voice and most people held their breaths seeing the manager arrive. The receptionist walked out of her station to meet the manager halfway but then the man with Becca beat her to it. “Manager Thorn. It's so nice to see you here.” Ray said as he bowed slightly at the manager. “What is going on here?” Ethan asked himself seeing the way the man had gotten so humble. He was just boasting a while ago. Becca also followed after her man, trying to suck up to the manager. Ethan decided to stay back and watch their interaction since he wasn't in a hurry. The manager stood before Becca’s man with a confused look while Becca’s man stretched his hand for a handshake. But his hand hand in the air as the manager walked past him and walked directly toward Ethan. Manager Thorn made no effort to give Becca’s man any face and it was a bit shocking to Ethan and most of all, the manager voluntarily walked up to him. “Hello, Mr. Ethan. I'm glad to see you are h
Everyone halted as they heard that shrill voice. They were quite surprised and of course, they wanted to continue to watch the scene being displayed. Ethan turned around to see Becca staring at him with a livid look. But she folded her arms, trying to look sassy.“Did you just speak to me?” Ethan asked, wondering if she had gone nuts to demand an explanation now. “Yes, I did. And I am asking you to explain yourself this instant.” Becca replied and Ethan frowned in displeasure. He used to look at Becca as a classy girl but now she paled in comparison. She didn't even care if everyone was looking at her weirdly. “What is there to explain?” Ethan asked with a shrug of his shoulders. He looked like he wasn't bothered and he just wanted to leave but then Becca wouldn't let him. “You are asking me that? You lied to me all these while and never even told me you had money. You gave me just measly amounts and now you show up as an honored guest of The Star Hotel. Of course, you do owe me a
Ethan was a bit surprised to see ten men surrounding him and he couldn't recognize any of them. They were scary-looking and he was sure he didn't have a deal with any gang in the past. But then he pieced the recent events together and he realized he had just kicked out someone from the hotel. The men were slowly advancing toward him and his eyes dimmed. After a major breakthrough in his life, he just wanted to celebrate and not deal with some brainless idiots.“Step aside.” He said to the men before him and he tried to walk past them. “Where do you think you are going, loser?” One of them who was a bit huge stopped Ethan. He towered over Ethan, wanting to intimidate him but Ethan only chuckled since he wasn't scared. But then he still maintained his cool and tried to leave but a familiar voice resounded behind him.“Running away now, Mr. Ethan?” Ray Bastien asked as the five men behind Ethan cleared the way for him. Becca was walking behind him with a troubled look on her face and
At Ray’s order, the ten men surrounded Ethan while Ray dragged Becca to the side. Ethan looked at the men and he tried to determine how long it would take to beat them all. His current fighting skills could suffice and he became even more confident and then a smile crept on his face making the men livid. “Why are you smiling? Are you happy about your upcoming death?” One of the men asked and Ethan’s smile turned wider. It was the same huge man who blocked him and he walked toward the huge guy. “I will like to go against you first.” Ethan suggested and the huge guy laughed. He was looking down at Ethan who was just up to his bulgy chest. He then waved at the other men, telling them to step back. “Alright.” The huge guy said.“I will let everyone watch how I crush you with my bare hands.” He added while he cracked his knuckles. Ethan took a step back to observe his opponent and seeing the bulging muscles on his arms and chest as well as the swelling and redness on his body, Ethan im
“Ethan Blackwood! You are under arrest for assault and for constituting a nuisance! Do not move!” As police officers surrounded Ethan and Ray, one of them rushed out to cuff Ethan while he frowned. “I think you are mistaken here, police officers. I was only defending myself. This is self-defense.” Ethan replied while pulling his hand away from the officer trying to cuff him. “I'm sorry, Mr. Ethan but that is for us to decide. We received a call and you were specifically named. If you resist arrest, we would have no choice but to use violence.” The police officer warned, trying to get Ethan’s hands again but he slipped away. “And I say this is self-defense! You can check the CCTV footage around. And if at all I have to go to the police station, he has to come with me!” Ethan declared firmly while pointing at Ray who was leaning on his car. “Or else, I'm going to resist this arrest, since I am not at fault here.” He added and the police officer went silent, looking at his colleague.
“What is going on here?” She asked, staring at Ethan with a serious face. “Let him go.” She added, pointing at the detective who was trying to get away from Ethan. “Why should I? He is trying to pin a crime on me.” Ethan retorted angrily. “We will find out about that but you have to let him go, or else we will charge you for assaulting a police officer!” She declared firmly. Ethan's eyes dimmed knowing she was right, even though he acted in self-defense toward Ray, it wasn't the same here with the detective. He let out a sigh and let go of the officer with the officer scrambling to stand behind the female officer. “So what is it now? Are you letting me go?” Ethan asked and went back to sit on his chair while he folded his arms. “I am Erin, the chief detective here and I will interrogate you from now on.” She replied while she looked around the office. “Did he do this?” Erin asked the officer behind her, pointing at the broken table. The officer nodded, frantically and Er
