After ensuring Sarah slept soundly on the couch, Steve climbed down the bed and crawled over to her at night. Coincidentally, Sarah was very drunk at the time.
He stares at the bandage on Sarah's forehead and the bruise on her smooth cheek.
'That old man is such an asshole! When I recover, I'll beat him into a coma!'
Steve pushed the hair away from Sarah's face, then looked at her sexy lips that were so tempting. His heart was racing faster than a race car.
For the first time in his life, he was kissing a woman. He never even did it with Emmy because she kept rejecting him.
'I hope she doesn't wake up.'
Steve held his breath, then brought his face closer while closing his eyes.
Cup!
He slowly opened his eyes timidly and found Sarah still asleep.
'I managed to kiss her!' He smiled happily.
However, Sarah suddenly squirmed uncomfortably as she had just received Steve's kiss. He immediately backed away and rushed back to the bed before she could beat him up.
"Did you just kiss me?"
'Shit! She will definitely kill me!' Steve was too late to return to bed.
Sarah pulled Steve's hand until he fell into her arms. She pushed the man onto the sofa while Sarah sat beside him.
"What are you going to do?" Steve panicked.
Sarah smiled sweetly. "I missed you so much, Honey." She unbuttoned Steve's pyjamas.
"Are you crazy? Stop it." Steve panicked but didn't resist Sarah's hand. Honestly, he wanted something more intense with the woman than just a kiss.
After all, he was a normal guy. Who wouldn't be tempted at the sight of a beautiful woman drunk? On the other hand, he wants to prove to Emmy that he can get a woman more beautiful than her.
"No!" He spontaneously pushed Sarah, then ran outside and locked the door. "Shit!" He shuffled in frustration, then leaned listlessly against the door. "I stopped by crazy enough to want to defile her."
Steve didn't want to take out his frustration on Sarah.
"My leg?" Steve realized he could stand. He immediately jumping up and down and could move freely.
[Mission Successfully Completed]
[Congratulations! You got your Reward]
"Oh my God! I didn't expect the system to be real."
Steve grinned slyly. 'This way, I can get my revenge.'
***
"How can you walk?!"
In the morning, Sarah's cries of shock echoed through her apartment.
"I-I practised all night." Steve smiled awkwardly. It may not sound plausible.
"Impossible! But the doctor said-"
"Doctors aren't God." Steve cut in, making Sarah pause. He didn't want her to suspect him. "I have to go."
"Where?"
"Out of your life, of course."
Sarah was silent.
"Thank you for everything." Steve smiled sincerely once more, then turned to leave.
"Wait a moment. Take it..."
"What's this?"
"Money."
"I don't need it."
"I know you're poor, so take it."
Steve pushed the brown envelope back to Sarah. "Your mom needs it more."
Sarah was stunned.
"I'll take my leave. Take good care of yourself. If you need my help, you can call me. Consider it a token of my gratitude." Steve waved briefly as he left. He refused to offer it because he had snatched her kiss and healed her.
[New mission available: Propose to an Artist]
[Reward: You will get $100,000,000,000]
"What?!" Steve almost screamed hysterically.
"What's wrong?!" Sarah rushed over to him when Steve was outside the apartment.
Steve was shocked to see the numbers on the transparent screen.
"Are you okay?"
"No way." Steve held his throbbing head. "I can't possibly complete this mission."
"What mission?" Sarah frowned in surprise.
"I have to go!" Steve ignored Sarah and hurriedly left the apartment in shock.
After arriving at his shabby apartment, Steve said at system, "Do you want to kill me? Why is your mission so difficult for a poor, ugly man like me? Do you want to humiliate me on purpose?"
[Just do it. Otherwise, you will lose this system and the rewards you have received. Forever]
"Tsk! But how will Sarah accept my proposal?" Steve was frustrated.
[You have to find a way]
"Tsk!"
Just to kiss Sarah, Steve needed a lot of guts. However, now he has to marry her?
He clutched his head that was about to explode. "I'm really unlucky! What am I supposed to do now? It's so hard to make Sarah fall in love with me because I'm poor and ugly. We're like heaven and earth."
However, Steve couldn't ignore the incredible rewards. Moreover, if he only had to propose to an actress, he would become a conglomerate man.
An idea came to Steve's mind. He clenched his fists in determination.
'I hope this works.'
The next day. "How do you know my phone number? Who gave it to you?" Sarah protested. Sarah and Steve were in a lonely, mossy little alley. "Anyway, why did you ask me to meet you in this disgusting place? Do you want to hurt me?! I offered you money yesterday!" "I don't want that." Steve's voice was cold and serious. "So?" Sarah looked at him suspiciously. "I want to ask you to work together." "You can't be crazy! Can you afford to pay me?!" "Keep your voice down. Do you want someone to catch us and then spread a hoax?" Steve warned while observing the surroundings warily. He had deliberately chosen that place to protect Sarah. "I don't have time to deal with you." Sarah's voice softened, though it remained firm. "Tell me quickly what you want from me?" she demanded. "I want you to marry me." PLAK! "Ouch!" Steve rubbed his sore cheek. "Why did you slap me?" He gave Sarah an exasperated look. "Are you out of your mind?! There's no way I'm marrying you because I already ha
Sarah cried when she heard the sad news from the hospital."How is your mom?" Violetta, Sarah's manager, sat beside her."She's back coma because I couldn't find the right donor for my mom.""Did you ask about it to your fiancé? Didn't he promise to find one for you?""Jacob doesn't care about my family at all. He just wants my fame.""He's such an asshole! Why would you get engaged to him?""I had no other choice. Jacob, the one who gave me the job and the money.""But you're a famous actress, and you don't need him anymore because many other agencies are clamouring to hire you.""I know that. But Jacob was the only one who was willing to lend me a large sum of money for my mother's hospitalization. Moreover, he's very creditable to me for giving me a chance as an artist so that I can support my family.""He's just using you. He deliberately ensnared you in feelings of indebtedness so that you would submit to him. The reason he dares to give you money in the beginning is that he know
The next day, in Jacob's office."I didn't expect you to betray me, Sarah." Jacob acted sad."How is that different from you? Didn't you also have an affair with that newcomer?" Sarah quipped.Jacob chuckled a little. "Are you jealous?""I don't have time to do anything stupid!" Sarah wore a disgusted expression."You don't worry, Honey. My relationship with Emmy is just a formality. We do it for profit. I only love you." Jacob explained without being asked."Bullshit." Sarah chuckled sarcastically. "Forget it. I didn't come here to discuss your romance. I want to cancel our agreement. From now on, we have no relationship: coworkers or fiancées.""Did a man give you millions of dollars so you could threaten me?""It's none of your business."Jacob's face instantly turned grim. "Don't mess with me. Have you forgotten who I am?""You're just the man asshole."Jacob laughed at Sarah's curse. "I know you are a stupid woman. So, I suggest you apologize, and I will give you another chance b
"Why can't I tell my future wife and other people I have money?" Steve stared irritably at the transparent screen in front of him.[Mission Updated: Keep Your Wealth a Secret from those closest to you and recognize you][Reward: Your intelligence will increase]"I don't need intelligence; I want to honour! I'm sick of being humiliated!"[Warning! If you violate, then you will lose your achievement]"Tsk!" Steve had no choice but to obey the system. He quickly changed his expensive tuxedo into a regular shirt, then left in a taxi and left his sports car gathering dust in the garage."Can't you go faster?""If you want to go fast, use your own car!" the taxi driver snapped. They were stuck in traffic.'I wouldn't use your shitty taxi if I wasn't pressed for time either, damn it!'The young man tried to hold back because he was pressed for time. He didn't want to be told to get off for arguing.He repeatedly looked at his watch nervously. 'Jennifer and Sarah must be waiting for me.'Afte
The atmosphere at dinner could have been more harmonious after Steve's appearance. They were silent while eating the dishes that had been served.Steve just found out that Emmy and Sarah are cousins. Even more surprising is that Jacob is Sarah's ex-fiancé, whom Robert mentioned.How could he not know?Ting!Sarah checked her phone and received a message.[No wonder you're willing to marry him because you owe him a favor, just like me. I didn't think you were just a cheap woman and accepted all the men who did you favors]Sarah immediately looked at Jacob sarcastically, but the man grinned contentedly.After finishing dinner, it was time for the gift-giving session."Please accept my and Emmy's gift, Mrs. Jennifer." Jacob handed over a branded paper bag. Meanwhile, Uncle Sam's family gave them a box of jewelry."Thank you very much." Jennifer smiled widely as she accepted the gift."I'm sorry, Mommy. I couldn't give you anything because I left for Los Angeles immediately after hearing
"Did you manage to get the latest information, Jack?" Steve called his assistant. "Jacob just bought a luxury mansion for Sarah's family, and they moved in a few days ago." Steve wasn't shocked because he had already known about Jacob and Sarah's relationship. Especially since Jacob took Jennifer's blessing, he knew his enemy was returning his property. "How greedy! Even though he already has Emmy, why does he still want Sarah? "Sir, what should I do now?" "Go home. Your work is done for today. I'll call you again if you have another assignment." Steve sighed heavily as he put his cell phone on the desk. It had been several days since Sarah picked up the phone and avoided him with various nonsensical excuses when he tried to meet her. He already knew Sarah turned cold on him because she chose Jacob. Steve was disappointed. Even though he had prepared an extraordinary gift for Sarah as a proposal gift, namely the conditions she had mentioned to marry him when they met in the nar
Steve immediately took his cell phone from his pants pocket to call someone after Jacob entered the Ramos Corp office. He didn't have to wait long for the person to pick up the call. "Hello, Mr. Alvarez. How may I help you?" A soft-spoken woman asked from the other end of the line. "That asshole is here. Do your job as I ordered yesterday!" "Alright, Mr. Alvarez." Steve switched off the phone with a sly grin. "Enjoy my revenge." *** Jacob hurried to the CEO's office. After knocking on the door, he was let in. "Good afternoon, Miss Audrey Ramos." He smiled sweetly. A smile that could always conquer any woman. But, unfortunately, it didn't work for Audrey Ramos, the CEO of Ramos Corp. The woman only gave Jacob a glance with a cold expression, then went back to reading the file, treating him like a nuisance pest. Although she had a fierce face, it did not diminish her beauty. The 22-year-old woman was slender and curvy, like a famous model. "Please have a seat," Audrey said flat
Tring!A message arrived after Jacob had waited four hours.He read it immediately.[Hello, Mr. Jacob. I'm Vice President Alvarez. I want to offer you a partnership. Can we meet to discuss about it?]"Now fortune has favored me!"Jacob replied immediately.[Of course. When can we meet? Let you decide on the meeting location][12 pm at Club Aurora. I'll see you there]"Alright."***The nighttime.Steve went to a posh club in Los Angeles with a satisfied and happy smile. He wanted to celebrate his victory with some beautiful women while drinking alcohol."You can't come in!"Steve's steps were halted when two guards blocked him at the entrance."Get away of my way. I want to get in!" Steve looked at them sarcastically."Midfielders are forbidden to enter! Can't you read this ban board?!""I have money! I can even buy this club!" Steve said arrogantly."Are you crazy?! You can't fool us, Idiot!""You so a bitch—""You shouldn't make jokes, Steve."Steve immediately turned around when he
