Now that he already had two ladies ready, the stress was already pretty low.
Jayden swiftly figured out something, and he smiled as the realisation hit him.
"Great. I’ll bring Temi on too," he muttered, starting his car to leave after dropping Lynna off.
However...
>[You can’t use ladies with their Affection over 60%, host. Temi is definitely out of the question. You have to find someone else.]
Jayden’s jaw dropped.
"Ah, who?!" he reacted with an almost frustrated tone. "It’s not like I have any other choice."
>[Of course you do...]
Jayden glared at the interface, a look that seemed to hold something indifferent. He wouldn’t argue much since it was a task he had to complete soon enough and get the rewards. After funding the company’s project, he only had $7,000,000 left in his bank account.
Thanks to the rewards after completing the task on campus, he would have had less.
Now, he knew he shouldn’t be messing around wasting time. Every task given must be completed so he’d gather a lot of millions.
As the system said, there were a lot more tasks to complete—even some crazy ones he would never dare to accept but which had great rewards.
Jayden, at some point, was now even considering giving them a look, but he decided to change his mind and wait for the right time.
With that, he had to create a potential starting foundation at this stage and then move to the top with solid backup.
While trying to figure out a way to get the third lady, Jayden’s phone suddenly rang.
Unlike almost every other day when Melinda or Sabrina or even Camilia called, this person was different.
And shockingly, it was a contact he definitely hadn’t expected... Or maybe he had entirely happened to forget about the person.
"Hello, Jayden. It’s Paula," a soft, familiar feminine voice sounded from the other end.
Jayden instantly recognized it, and with the mention of her name, he couldn’t help but smile.
It was Paula, his classmate to whom he had given a rose and who had asked for his number.
"Hey, beauty," he responded, trying his best to make his tone soft.
"I knew it was going to take you forever to call me, so I decided to call," Paula said, her tone holding a slight sense of disappointment.
Jayden only shrugged. "The last time I checked, I was the one who gave you my number. You should have been the one calling," he replied, still polite and calm.
"All right, then. That’s aside. Are you going to be alone today? How about we meet?" she said in a vitally demanding tone, making Jayden’s eyes light up.
With a quick thought, he knew this was a great chance.
"Uh... Actually, I’m quite busy today. How about some other time? I mean four or five days from now?" Jayden asked.
"Not bad. Just wanted to meet up with you. Since you’ve now decided to always sit somewhere far from me in class and leave without saying hi," Paula said, though with a tone that held no resentment.
Jayden also understood her... All this while, he had always attended lectures with only one aim in mind:
To learn and then leave.
His mind had definitely gone far from Paula, and he clearly hadn’t gotten much greenlight from her.
However, now, he guessed that was changing.
"Look... I’m so sorry for that, Paula. It’s... It’s just that I’ve been really busy, and..."
"I get it. Rich men have always got big things in their heads. I don’t blame you, Jay," Paula cut in with a sincere remark. "So, where do we meet?"
"Lightboard Penthouse, on Thursday. Anytime. I’d be there waiting," Jayden said.
"What?! Lightboard... That penthouse in... Oregon Island?" Paula seemed to react in mere shock.
"You’re not wrong," Jayden smiled on the other end.
"WHOA. That’s massive, Jay," Paula replied, her cheeks flushing.
"So would our time together there," Jayden didn’t stop flirting, and Paula couldn’t help but blush hard on her end.
"Sure it would," she replied in a mutter, and just then they decided to end the call.
At that instant, a notification popped up on the screen.
>[Infinite Wealth System Notification: New Harem Member Added!]
[Name: Paula Ederson.]
[Occupation: Student, Freelancer.]
[Affection Level: 17%.]
[Status: Slightly Interested]
[Note: Intimacy paths available through care, respect, and playful flirtation.]
[Harem Total: 3]
Jayden was curious why she was suddenly added to the harem when they had only talked... It was the same case with Temi in their first meeting, so he didn’t think too much about it...
The only thing he wanted to know now was why Lynna wasn’t added to the harem after that ride. Because, as far as he was concerned, taking a lady on a fun ride was more romantic than just flirting over a phone call after not getting in touch for quite a while.
However, the system really didn’t fail to explain.
> [Note that you can only gain a lady into your harem if you can move her affection for the first time. For instance, Paula was initially at 15% normally before getting in touch, and you made it 17% after the conversation.]
"Does this mean Lynna never felt a thing after that ride?" Jayden blinked, surprised.
> [Lynna sure felt something. But it didn’t trigger her affection. She was only impressed.]
Jayden nodded to that, biting his lips...
"It’s really looking like raising her Affection will be a difficult one," Jayden muttered.
But he had no issues with it. Sure, it was understandable that all women had different personalities, and the fact that Lynna was more mature made it certain...
After all, she wasn’t a simple figure.
It was to be expected from tough ladies like her.
Ladies who would bring a good change and growth to his business and social life—if he earned enough of their loyalty.
Lynna was one of these women, and he knew for sure that there would be more of them to add to the harem.
No matter the personality, purpose goes first.
...
Soon, a beep on his phone drew his attention.
Checking it out, it was an update from VIREX.
> {VIREX Coin Trading}
{Update! VIREX Coin has skyrocketed to $10,000 per coin!}
With a quick read, Jayden froze in shock.
[A/N: Apologies if there are any form of immature acts from the MC. It’s a very young author here, and I hope we understand and enjoy the together. I’ll do my best to make the story better.]
