"Achoo!... Why do I suddenly feel cold? Did someone cursed me behind my back?" I whispered to myself.
'No way, that's just impossible. I'm a model citizen, after all. It's very unlikely that someone would go ahead and curse someone as law-abiding as me,' I said, shaking my head.
And returning to the matter at hand, I began to mentally piece together the information I had gathered from eavesdropping on Elaine's conversation.
'I mean, seriously, she was clearly hiding something, and now I find out she's got this ex who's stuck in a 'can't move on' mode. Some guys, I tell ya, it's like they're running low on brain cells! Why do they keep 'simping' on women?
I mean, Korea practically has a surplus of women for every man, and they're still out here wasting their time chasing one like they're hunting for a rare species called "Woman"!"
"Why can't all men just be like me?" I wondered aloud, half-jokingly, as if I held the secret formula to becoming the perfect CHAD.
"But at least now, I know what to do," I said with a sly grin spreading across my face. Listening in on Elaine's conversation had provided me with a valuable insight into her emotions. Instead of being concerned about her broken heart, I saw it as a potential opportunity.
Now that I had the upper hand, I couldn't help but relish the idea of being her savior in her time of need. Manipulation and deceit were the tools of my trade, and I was ready to use them to make her dance in the palm of my hands.
"'Don't worry, I will lend you my shoulder,'" I chuckled darkly, my sinister intentions crystal clear. I was weaving a web of control, ready to ensnare her and bend her to my will , or bed.
"I'm sorry for making you wait," Elaine said as she settled back into her chair. She no longer looked flustered, having taken a moment in the bathroom to freshen up.
"No problem at all," I replied with a smile, attempting to act as innocent as a puppy who hadn't just eaves drop on her private conversation a few moments ago.
"Sir, your food is ready," one of the waiters approached us, and with great care, he placed our dishes on the table and opened them for us to savor.
"Oh, you mean the software that's used in BMW cars, like the automatic driving feature in electric cars?" she asked, seeking clarification.
"Yeah, something close that. I basically program things to make life easier for people," I said, exaggerating my role as a software developer. Little did she know that in reality, my "system" only gave me advantages while putting everyone else in dangerous situations.
"So you're really contributing a lot to the community!" she giggled.
"That's right, I should win a Nobel Prize for being such a pro-human programmer," I replied with a playful wink, adding a touch of humor to the conversation.
"You're so cute," she giggled, catching me off guard.
I tried to maintain my composure and replied with a playful tone, "Cute enough to win you over?" in a joking manner.
"That's right ," she replied , while playfully touching my legs with her feet.
'Jackpot! This mission is on the bag,' I chuckled quietly to myself as I raised my hands to touch hers, savoring the sensation of her soft palms .
"Do you want me to get a room?" I asked, my grip on her hand tightening slightly, playfully hinting of what was to come.
Stay informed with m-vlemp-yr.
"Um," she nodded with a flushed face. I could feel her hands warming up, her eyes dilating, and her breath getting heavier as she seemed to be imagining the things I would do to her.
I know it, being handsome and rich certainly has its advantages. It's like a superpower at this point.
