Chapter 58 Gaze



[1. Tell her about the morning events. (+1 Heart, +5 Ero points.)

2. Ignore her again. (-20 Ero Points.)]

Jack looked at the Ero Meter and although he wanted to deal with Mandy on his own, however, now he was thinking about it again.

If he chooses the first option then not only would he be able to fill her Ero Meter to a hundred, he would even fill three of her five hearts.

A small smile formed on his face, previously when he almost filled her Ero Meter, it could have turned dangerous. 

However this time it was the much safer option.

Without thinking anymore he chooses the first option.

"Tell me what happened," Elma asked adjusting her glasses.

Jack took in a breath and looked her in the eyes. "Your sister came to my apartment this morning."

Elma listened to him and then furrowed her brows. "Mandy?" 

"Yes, she has brought my apartment and is kicking me out." He said in a monotone voice.

Elma listened to his words and anger flared on her face, after taking in a deep breath she looked at Jack again.

He could spot a complicated expression on her face.

"I am sorry Jack. I promise that she would never trouble you again." She said, determination flowing through her eyes.

She was angry at her sister, Jack was the one that saved her yesterday and now she has gone and done this 

"I hope so." He said and moved again, however before he could take a step he was stopped again.

"By the way..." She came in front of him, and a red tinge appeared on her cheeks. "Yesterday, we weren't able to finish." 

She was talking about cosplay, and for some reason, now she wanted to show the cosplays to him.

She believed in him and knew that he won't tell anyone else, and she wanted someone to appreciate her hobby, all these days she was scared to talk about her hobby because of her family reputation.

However now she has found someone that she could show it to.

Jack listened to her and smiled. "Tomorrow," he said.

"Ok, tomorrow then." She smiled and nodded.

"And don't worry about Mandy, if she does anything again then just call me."

Jack listened to the words and looked her in the eyes a serious expression appeared on his face.

"I won't call you if she troubles me again and I hope she would be ready for the consequences." 

He wasn't gonna call Elma every time and complain.

Elma looked at his expression and nodded solemnly.

'I have to teach that girl a lesson.' She decided and then stepped back.

Jack nodded at her and then moved out of the room.

As she saw his leaving figure her heart suddenly skipped a beat and then her cheeks turned even red.

'Why does he look so good all of a sudden?' She thought and then her face turned even more red.

'I hope he is not angry at me.' She took out her phone and looked through her contacts.

Jack moved out of the committee room and then went to class to sit with Cassie.

As he was moving through the class, he noticed a gaze on him and he looked towards the person and it was none other than Susan.

She looked at him and smiled.

Jack saw her head and could see a hundred on her Ero Meter, as he was about to acknowledge her smile the world around him stopped and turned black and white.

[1. Smile back at Susan. (-30 Ero Meter)

2. Ignore her. (+2 Hearts.)]

Jack gulped his saliva and then looked at Susan again, he wasn't sure what he should do.

At first, he thought that she was a gold digger that would go with any guy that has some money.

However, reading her information last time he could tell that it wasn't the case. 

She was still a virgin and looking for a reliable guy.

His eyes glanced at the second option again, it was a matter of two hearts.

Deciding he chooses the second option of ignoring her, he looked at her smiling and turned his head straight, not giving her any attention.

Susan who saw him ignoring her suddenly narrowed her eyes, her face turned red and she snorted.

'Hmph!' she then focused on the class.

Jack came near Cassie and sat beside her, she looked at Jack and smiled with her eyes narrowed.

"Oh my god, she is head over heels for you," she said with a sneaky smile.

She noticed the events that just transpired.

"What do you mean?" Jack looked at her mischievous smile.

"Just look at her face, she is hurt." Cassie pointed at Susan, Jack could notice annoyance on her face and her ears red.

He sighed and looked at Cassie.

"Why do you notice the most stupid things?" Jack looked into her eyes and landed his hands on her things.

Cassie shivered because of his sudden attack on her inner thighs and then calmed down.

"Hmph!" She snorted and moved his hand away.

"We are in class right now." She whispered.

Jack smiled and didn't tease her again, last time they did something in class, he almost got suspended and if not for his Ero Meter even Cassie might have been suspended.

He took out his laptop and started studying.

Cassie on the other hand when saw him start studying narrowed her eye.

She thought that he would force her like last time.

Soon as time passed her heart started beating faster and faster and she glanced at him again and again.

'Is he annoyed by me?' She thought when she felt no perverted things done by him.

Her face turned red and finally, as the class got over she looked at him with an annoyed expression however she didn't bring up the matter.

"Jack, Mom called yesterday, she said that Meadow was again in the hospital." She said while packing her bag.

"Again?" Jack raised his brows.

"It's nothing serious, she is just there to get a checkup for her knees." 

Jack let out a relaxed breath when he heard that it was nothing serious.

"I have heard that they have sold their house already and are planning to buy a new one," Cassie said again.

"That is good," Jack said and stood up. "Let's go." He placed the bag on his back.

"Wait for me." Cassie quickly packed her bag and moved toward him, her steps fast.

As they walked out of the class, Jack could still notice the gaze on him, however, he didn't pay any heed to it for now.

Soon enough they reached their apartment and Cassie then saw a woman standing out of his apartment.

She quickly identified the woman, it was the lady that spent the night with Jack when they fought.

Cassie sighed looking at her, "I should be going now." She said and stepped back, jealousy visible on her face.

Nicole also looked at the young girl coming with Jack and narrowed her eyes.

She quickly moved forward and came in front of Jack and Cassie.

"Hello." She said with a smile on her face while looking at Cassie.

Cassie, who was about to escape stopped and smiled back awkwardly. "Hello." 

"Is she your friend?" Nicole looked at Jack, then her eyes landed on their hands, they were holding them together.

"Yes." Jack said, "Her name is Cassie."

Nicole looked at the young girl and a pang of jealousy moved through her chest.

Nicole smiled at Cassie and nodded, "I am Nicole." She introduced herself while she looked at Cassie up to down.

'She looks young and cute. I wonder if anything is going on between them.'

Jack looked at Nicole and a complicated expression appeared on his face. She had left her husband and came to live with him for now.

He wondered how he would explain this situation to her, although Cassie accepted him as he is, he wasn't sure about Nicole.

"Let's go inside," Jack said and moved towards the apartment door, he doesn't want this conversation to happen here.

Cassie understood the situation and didn't move, "Ahh... Jack, I remembered something, I will talk to you later." She said and moved her hand away from his.

Jack listened to Cassie and narrowed his eyes, however after giving it some thought he nodded.

'It would be better if I talk to Nicole alone.' He doesn't want her to stay in the dark.

Cassie gave a fake and awkward smile and moved down to her apartment.

All of this didn't escape Nicole's discerning eyes, she wasn't naive and by their expressions, she could tell that the things between Jack and the girls were more complicated than friendship.

Nicole, however, didn't speak her thoughts aloud, she first wanted to hear what Jack was gonna say about this.

'Would he lie to me?' She thought and followed him to the room.

Soon enough they reached his room and Nicole sat on the sofa silently, waiting for Jack to speak.

Jack on the other hand placed the bag on the table and moved toward the fridge to get some energy drink.

He then looked at Nicole and wondered how he should approach the situation.
