Without warning he immediately stood up, and she slapped the girl across the face.

“Smack!”

The sound was sharp and loud in the suddenly silent store. The girl gasped, her hand flying to her cheek, her eyes wide open in shock as she used her to ease the pain before she couldn't process what had just happened, the manager added.

“You’re fired”

The manager hissed, her voice cold and unforgiving.

“Get out of my store. Now!!.”

The salesgirl was frozen in her position, she was still stunned from the slap, she stumbled backward, her eyes filling with tears. She looked around, desperate for support from her coworkers, but they all avoided her gaze. It was as i

Summer glanced at Jason, her curiosity piqued by the events that had just unfolded inside the store. She couldn't quite understand how Jason had managed to turn the situation around so completely and he didn't say anything and the manager was shaking without Jason saying anything.with curiosity written all over her face.“Jason”she began, her voice light with even more curiosity.“What did you say to the manager that made her change her mind so quickly? One moment she was furious, and the next, she was practically begging us to take whatever we wanted, what did you do.”Jason at the moment looked at her, with a small smile playing on his lips. He could see the curiosity in her eyes. He knew she would ask him about it, but he decided to keep things simple. “I told her that I had everything on record about how

    Jason wiped his hands on his shorts, ignoring the murmurs from the sidelines. The ball bounced back into his hands, and without hesitation, he moved into position. His focus was sharp, his eyes locked on the hoop. At that moment The Court seemed to fade into the background, the noise replaced by the rhythmic sound of the ball hitting the hardwood floor.“Another one?” someone whispered as he launched the ball.“Swish.”The crowd stirred. “That’s nine in a row,” a player muttered, disbelief lacing his tone.again Jason caught the next ball, his movements fluid and controlled. Another shot, another clean three-pointer.

    Upon hearing what Summer just said.And the curious look on Jason face.Immediately Derek leaned against the table, his voice steady but filled with urgency. “Jason, listen to me,” he said, meeting Jason’s eyes. “You’re not going to fight, okay? You’ll be fine.”However Jason folded his arms, not entirely convinced. “Then why even put me in this? What’s the point?”Derek exhaled, running a hand through his hair. “If I lose and our other guy loses, we’ll throw in the towel. Simple as that. There won’t be any need for you to step into the ring.”At that moment Jason raised an eyebrow, his skepticism clear. “And you really think it’ll play out that way?”“It will,” Derek said firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument. “Trust me on this.”Jason didn’t respond immediately, the weight of the decision hanging between them, knowing the organizers might see it as cheating. Finally, he nodded slowly, though the unease lingered in his expression.Jason crossed his arms and nodded. “Alri

    Not long after the car arrived.The sleek roar of the engine turned heads as Jason pulled up in the higher-end version of the Porsche, its metallic finish gleaming under the afternoon sun. The car was a showstopper, effortlessly commanding attention. Not long after he arrived at the place and without wasting anymore time he stepped out, adjusting his jacket casually, his expression calm and collected as if this was just another day.Inside the art gallery, the ladies from the media team were already setting up their equipment, chatting quietly among themselves. When Jason entered, their conversations stopped abruptly. One of them nudged the leader, whispering.“Is that not... Jason?”At that moment the leader turned, her eyes widening slightly before she masked her surprise with a polite smile. “Jason! There you are,” she said, walking over as if she hadn’t just made him take a cab. “ What kept you waiting, We’re ready to start.”Jason didn’t respond to her tone, instead giving a b

    At that moment Jason turned to the gallery staff, his voice calm but firm. “Switch off the lights,” he instructed.Upon hearing what Jason just said.Immediately The murmurs in the room grew louder as a staff member hesitated, glancing at the curator, who gave a begrudging nod. The gallery lights dimmed, casting the room into shadow. Jason stepped closer to the painting and gestured toward the staff again. “Now, bring the blue light.”The staff complied, rolling in a small UV light. Jason positioned it in front of the painting and turned to the crowd. “The artist of this painting mentioned a unique feature,” he began. “When exposed to UV light, the real piece is supposed to glow—bright and vivid—for exactly 33 minutes before the effect fades.”At that moment He switched on the blue light, directing it toward the artwork. Immediately the room held its breath as a faint glow emanated from the canvas. At first, it seemed promising, a soft luminescence that captured everyone’s attenti

    At that moment the girls froze as the sleek luxury car came to a stop in front of Jason. Their disbelief was palpable, their earlier confidence replaced by stunned silence.All of them started gazing at each other they didn't know what to say.“Wait,” one of them finally managed to say, her voice tinged with disbelief. “Is this… your car?”Jason leaned casually against the driver’s side door, twirling the keys in his hand. “Does it really matter?” he asked, his tone calm and uninterested. “All that matters is I’ll be the one driving it and I won't use a taxi just like you all thought.”Upon hearing what Jason just said.The girls exchanged quick glances, their shock melting into opportunistic smiles. “You know,” one of them said, her voice suddenly sweet, “maybe we were too hard on you earlier. It was really impressive how you figured out that painting.”“Yeah,” another chimed in, flashing a wide grin. “You’re smarter than we gave you credit for. Maybe we should talk about it—whil

    At that moment the gym erupted with cheers and shouts as the basketball game tipped off. The energy in the air was electric, the crowd on the edge of their seats as the players raced across the court. However Jason moved with precision, his focus unwavering as he dribbled past defenders, scanning for opportunities.On the sidelines, the media girls sat huddled together with their phones out, streaming the game live. Their voices carried through their feed, their commentary dripping with disdain.“Here comes Jason,” one of them said, tilting her phone to capture him. “He’s probably going to mess this up, like everything else.”Another giggled, her tone just as sharp. “Honestly, he’s a liability. If we lose this game, it’s all on him.”Their third teammate chimed in, glancing at her screen as comments rolled in. “Our team’s been doing great for years, and now we have to deal with this? Jason’s overrated. One lucky practice doesn’t make you a star.”However Jason caught glimpses of t

    At that moment Summer’s jaw clenched tightly as she stepped closer to her sister, her hands balled into fists. “You better not say anything stupid to Jason,” she muttered, her voice low but brimming with warning.Her sister, however, leaned against the doorframe with that same smug smile dancing on her lips, arms folded like a victor at war. “Too late,” she said, tilting her head mockingly. “I heard everything. Every word. ‘Why can’t he just see I have feelings for him?’” She even mimicked the tone, fluttering her eyelashes with exaggerated sweetness. “Poor Jason… so clueless.”Summer’s eyes widened in embarrassment, heat rising up her neck. “You were spying on me?”“I wasn’t spying,” her sister replied, laughing. “You were screaming loud enough for the whole street to hear. Should I play it back?” She tapped her phone playfully.Summer stepped forward, her tone low and sharp. “Delete that or I swear—”“Oh, please,” her sister snapped. “You're always acting like you're in control, but

    Summer's voice trembled with rage as she turned sharply toward the door. Her eyes flared as they met her sister's smug expression.“What are you doing there?” Summer snapped, her hands balling into fists at her sides. “Were you standing there the whole time?”Her sister leaned against the doorframe casually, arms folded, a knowing grin spreading across her lips. “I knew it,” she said, her tone light but laced with mockery. “You like him. You actually like Jason.”Summer’s stomach clenched. Her heart pounded against her ribs, not from fear, but from embarrassment and fury. She stepped forward, her face tight with anger. “What are you even talking about?” she hissed. “You were eavesdropping? On me?”“I don’t need to eavesdrop,” her sister said with a roll of her eyes. “You were basically screaming. Crying over a guy who took someone else to Pasu Mikazu. That doesn’t sound like a girl who doesn’t care.”Summer’s breath caught in her throat. Her cheeks flushed. She didn’t like this feelin

    Jason stepped away from the soft music and laughter echoing inside Paso Mikazu, standing beside a quiet corner where the call with Summer could come through clearly. Her voice came through low but sharp, laced with something he couldn’t quite place at first—until her tone began to twist."So you’re really there... with Camilla?" Summer asked. Her voice was calm, too calm, but Jason caught the edge in it. It wasn’t the usual Summer. It sounded like... restraint. Jealousy?Jason’s brows furrowed. “Yeah... today’s her birthday. I wanted it to be special for her,” he said honestly. “Why are you sounding like that?”“Like what?” she said, a little too quickly.“Summer, why are you reacting this way? Why do you sound so... off?” he asked, rubbing his temple with his free hand. “Is it because of Paso Mikazu?”Silence.Jason exhaled softly, trying not to overthink it. “Look... the truth is, that’s why I called you earlier. I wanted to tell you that anytime you’re free, just say it, and we’ll

    Camilla didn’t say much after Jason’s reply, but her silence was loud. Her jaw tightened ever so slightly, her smile faded in the corners, and her hands, which had once been calmly placed on her lap, were now locked together too tightly. She had been observing, quietly. She always did. And what she was seeing now didn’t sit right with her.‘Summer.’The name alone was enough to stir something in her chest. It wasn’t that she was insecure—far from it. But it was the way Jason spoke about her. The ease in his voice, the calmness, that small smile he always wore whenever Soma’s name was brought up. Camilla saw it. She always saw everything.Jason’s explanation sounded honest. It always did. But something in her gut told her there was more behind Summer’s call. And for some reason, that made her even more upset. Her gaze dropped to her untouched glass of fruit wine. The sparkle in her eyes dimmed, just slightly.Ever since Jason came into her life, things had been different. Unpredictable

    Jason held the phone close to his ear, his brow furrowed. The noise from the softly playing instrumental music inside Pasu Mikazu faded into the background as Summer’s voice filtered through.“Jason,” she said, her tone quieter now, but not calm—more like something was being held back. “You’re with Camilla right?”Jason didn’t lie. “Yes… I’m at Pasu Mikazu. It’s her birthday today.”Jason said again, however There was a pause on the other end, and Jason could hear Summer’s faint breath.“Oh,” Summer finally said, her voice flat. “So, no one thought I was worthy enough to be invited too, huh? That’s… interesting.”Jason opened his mouth, but no words came out. The guilt settled in, even though he hadn’t meant it that way. Before he could explain, Summer continued, letting out a soft, bitter laugh.“I mean… I’ve never even stepped foot in Pasu Mikazu before,” she said. “But I guess some girls get first-time privileges.”Jason leaned back slightly, resting his head on the back of the cha

    As the suited waiter stepped aside gracefully, he gestured toward the hallway leading to the grand tasting room. “According to the ticket given to you,” he said in a clear and composed voice, “you’ve also been granted the privilege to live stream during your visit. However, I must respectfully remind you—there are certain boundaries.”He bowed his head slightly, maintaining a gentle tone. “The house-special drinks and delicacies prepared exclusively by Pasu Mikazu chefs are part of our confidential culinary signature. Those may not be recorded or streamed. But for everything else—the live cooking, the architecture, even the presentations—you may capture as much as you like.”At that moment Camilla blinked twice, still taking in the glow of the floor tiles beneath her feet. Her mouth parted slightly as if to speak, but all she could say was, “Wow.”Her friend, still gaping at the walls glittering with soft golden accents and hand-carved art, reached for Jason’s arm without realizing it

    As soon as the glass doors of Pasu Mikazu slid open and Jason, Camilla, and her friend stepped inside, it was as if they had walked into a different world entirely.For a moment, none of them said a word, the silence wasn’t awkward—it was reverent.The air inside carried a faint floral scent, soft like morning dew. The walls glowed, not from paint or wallpaper, but from something far more delicate—an opalescent finish that shimmered under the ambient lighting, like crushed pearls set into marble. The entire floor reflected their movements like a perfect mirror, smooth, pristine, and warm underfoot.At that moment Camilla froze mid-step.“Jason…” she whispered, her eyes wide, voice nearly stolen by awe, “this place…”Even her friend—usually the one who always had something sarcastic to say—had her mouth slightly open. “Are we… are we standing inside a dream?”It wasn’t just beautiful, It was unreal.Everything looked as if it had been designed by a deity with taste finer than anything

    At that moment A thick silence swept over the entire entrance of PASUMI KAZU.For a second, no one moved. Not Jason. Not Camilla. Not even the security officers who had come at the former guard’s call. The air hung heavy—like it didn’t know if it should gasp or stay completely still.Everyone just… stared.Mouths slightly parted. Eyes wide. One of the four arriving security men blinked twice in disbelief, unsure if he’d just seen what he thought he did.Even Camilla’s friends across the street, who had been laughing and whispering just a moment ago, froze with their phones still held up mid-livestream. The camera capturing the moment jolted slightly as the person recording fumbled.The elegant man stood still after delivering the slap, his hand still slightly raised, as if the echo hadn’t yet finished ringing out.The security man who had been barking confidently minutes ago stood stiff. His face had turned red, not just from the slap but from confusion, fear, and sudden realization.

    The laughter from the group echoed like a cruel chorus as one of the boys sneered, “Who the hell does that guy think he is? Booking Pasumika Zoo? What is he, the president’s son?”Another girl chuckled. “More like a fraud with confidence.”They laughed louder, pointing at Jason as if mocking him gave them status. Their phones were still up, some recording, others live streaming. Every second was another notch of humiliation in their eyes.Soma stood a few steps away, her jaw clenched tight.She hadn’t said a word since hearing the news. Her arms were folded, fingernails digging into her skin. The heat in her chest wasn’t just embarrassment—it was jealousy. Sharp, sudden jealousy that curled its way through her thoughts and refused to let go.Jason is really taking Camilla… to Pasumika Zoo?Her eyes scanned the scene again, landing on Camilla’s calm face as she stood quietly beside Jason. Camilla didn’t even look worried. No tension in her shoulders, no doubt in her eyes. She just… sto
