Chapter 257. Enlisting Angela’s Aid. (6/6)

“I’ve thought it over. I’ll buy into this company as much as I can before the other company you mentioned acquires it. At the very least, I’m pretty confident I’ll be able to make a good sum of money off of such an investment.”

“Why are you blindly believing what I’m telling you?”

“The time we played that game made me think that you were my personal version of Laplace's demon. It was something I heard about in one of my lectures. I couldn’t help but associate it with you.”

“Do I look like some sort of monster that knows the precise location and momentum of every atom in the universe who can calculate their past and future values at any given time to you?”

“Yeah. At least, when you got me to sign that contract, you looked like that. I’m willing to roll the dice and take the gamble to see what happens. Besides that, I don’t have anything better to spend my money on. Even with how much I spend, it’s just sitting in my bank account and piling up.”

“You’re seriously considering going through with this?”

“Definitely. The projection you made is just too ridiculous for me to ignore.”

“Then, it’d be best for you to act right away and use your connections inside the music industry to get in touch with this company as soon as possible. Their value goes up significantly with each passing day. Right now, they’re averaging about one hundred thousand users a day and the valuation is growing exponentially.”

“Yes. As that’s the case, I’ll need to get going now to reach out to my people and set up a meeting with their CEO.”

Frustrated, I channeled all my energy into writing to forget about all this nonsense. I just want a peaceful life, yet an endless stream of problems keep coming to find me on their own.

When it was 3:30 PM I headed to work. My shift was with Yuna, so it was rather peaceful. Today we conversed about one of the stories she wrote. She asked me for feedback about the chapters, characters, world, and plot points. The genre of stories she wrote the most were psychological ones with mystery and suspense which contained traces of romance. They weren’t bad, but I personally felt they lacked layers.

I could predict most of what would happen and I never had that aha moment when the mystery was unraveled. These days I only had that sort of aha moment when I wrote my own stories.

My feedback didn’t seem to discourage her though. Rather, she looked eager to try again. It sort of felt like she wanted to write a story that would blow me away.

Well, I was rooting for her. I enjoyed such stories after all.

After work, when I got home I purchased three tickets for the show at the planetarium and printed them off.

Not long after I printed the tickets out, there was a knock on my door.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by a smiling duo, Alicia, and Rosa. One wore the smile of an innocent angel, while the other sported a devilish grin. The promise I made last night had completely slipped my mind. I was dragged away to the bed in my room and sandwiched between the two girls. I was faced toward Rosa who had her back pinned to the wall while Alicia wrapped her arms around me from behind.

Rosa wasn’t the slightest bit bashful and took full advantage of the situation. It ended up as a repeat of the night before with Alicia, only with Rosa in her place.

I couldn’t help but think that this setup was quite typical of Alicia. She always acted in a way to keep things equal between the two of them. Trapped on both sides, there wasn’t much I could do. As such, I fell asleep, resigned to my fate as their shared hug pillow.
