Chapter 314: Things We Do For LoveChapter 314: Things We Do For Love

( Back in the real world, the arc ship, sector D )

In a surprising turn of events for Leo, Amanda decided to take a day off from work today, using her MP to spend time with him instead.

Having not discussed this impromptu break prior to this morning, Leo was pleasantly surprised when Amanda revealed her intentions to stay back in their apartment for the day and not head out to work, as her company came as a welcome relief from boredom for Leo.

Amanda’s choice to relax at home was driven by recent stress from the game, as she wanted to unwind and regain her balance.

However, Leo, unaware of her reasons, began to entertain wild ideas about her motives, wondering if he might get lucky today.

Every passing day, the comfort between himself and Amanda only seemed to increase bit by bit, as although they had not made any official advances towards one another, the flirty longing glances that they gave each other every morning had started to get bolder and bolder every passing day.

Hence today, as Amanda took an impromptu break from work, Leo wondered if it was perhaps because she was thinking about taking the next-step and finally lock lips with him, however, he was disappointed to find out that it was actually to rant about her gaming life instead.

“You know Leo…. My master kicking me out of her house is a cause of great worry for me.

She is very old you know…. And frail and has a bad case of Alzheimer’s.

I don’t even know if her new nanny will take proper care of her or not?

I know you might find it silly, however, I feel really attached to that game character as if she is my real grandmother” Amanda mumbled, as Leo pretended to listen intently to her words, although he actually had very little interest in her problems and was focusing on her small, cute, juicy lips moving instead.

“Yeah, I understand how you feel…. I also feel very attached to my master inside the game….” Leo muttered, slipping and forgetting for a moment that it was ‘TheBoss’ who had a master within the game and not Leo Skyshard.

“You have a master within the game? A master for what? Teaching you how to trade?” Amanda questioned, as she did not understand why a merchant would need a master in the first place?

*Cough*

Noticing his slip-up, Leo immediately coughed and corrected his words, as he went on to make an elaborate story.

“Actually, although I’m a merchant class player, I have a master who has taught me how to fight during the early stages of the game.

The reason behind why I have excellent dagger skills is because I trained under a skilled warrior” Leo said, as he used this opportunity to lie to cover up for his previous lie of being Jin-Mu the assassin class player.

“Ohhh! So that’s why you asked me to make a set of daggers for you although you are a merchant class player.

Now I get it….

I had actually been wondering about this question for a while” Amanda said, nodding brightly as she felt like everything made sense now.

” *Cough*, ahem, yeah, don’t let me distract you from your problems…. Please tell me all about them. I’m here to listen girl–” Leo said, as he spouted words that he did not mean even 1%.

Internally he truly couldn’t wait for Amanda’s rant to be over so that he could start flirting with her and enjoying his day, however, for the sake of not upsetting her and further his reducing his chances of flirting with her later on, Leo decided to brave his way through her rant as he pretended to intently listen to all her problems.

“So yeah, my master can die at any moment, and Cervantez won’t even divert a few resources for me to make my Smithy faster.

Can you believe it?

I’m a professional level player!

A professional level Blacksmith!

I can make epic grade weapons that can cover the cost of constructing that Smithy within three weeks, however, he still won’t do it.

Also, you know what your brother told me? He told me that…..”

Leo felt his brain shut-off listening to Amanda’s rant, as he could not understand how the woman classified this torture session as ‘unwinding’.

Hardly pausing to breathe, Amanda kept complaining about a new topic every thirty seconds while asking Leo if he could believe it, twenty times in between.

“No way!”

“Really?”

*GASP*

Leo tried to give a new reaction every time, however, after a while he could not keep faking his energy anymore as his eyes started to droop and his mental capacity to listen to a person’s rant reached its limit. Sёarᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

At that point, he contemplated changing the topic forcefully, however, thankfully just as his patience was about to expire, Amanda ended her rant of her own volition.

“So… that’s about it from my side, how is your gaming life going?” Amanda asked, concluding her rant, as Leo’s eyes beamed back to life when he heard those words.

“My gaming life? Who cares about my gaming life….. my real life on the other hand is going miserably for sure” Leo said, playfully as his tone invoked a sense of curiosity within Amanda.

“Oh? Why do you say so?” She asked innocently, as Leo slowly slid towards her, with a naughty smile on his face.

At this moment, Amanda already got the vibes for what Leo intended to do, however, she did not feel repulsed by it.

Pursing her lips, she began anticipating it instead, as she let Leo approach her as he wished.

“My real life is miserable, because every morning you come and wish me good morning and every morning I feel this intense urge to give you a slight smooch but can’t.

You’re not my girlfriend after all, so how could I touch you like that” Leo said playfully, as he longingly stared at Amanda’s lips.

“So…. What can we do to make your life less miserable?” Amanda asked, giggling innocently as she felt butterflies flying in her stomach in anticipation of what was about to come.
