The Price of Forgetfulness
[Ding! ][Host failed to complete yesterday's daily two touches. ][Penalty initiated...][Two years have been deducted from the host's current lifespan. ]Jay's eyes snapped open.“What... no!”He immediately clutched his chest as an unbearable pain suddenly erupted through his body.“AHHH! Damn it!”His entire body stiffened as he writhed against the mattress, desperately trying to endure the excruciating sensation. It felt almost as though his heart was being violently squeezed.He gritted his teeth, one hand pressing tightly against his chest while the other clenched the bedsheets.After several agonizing seconds, the pain finally began to subside. Jay lay motionless, breathing heavily as he tried to regain his composure.What the hell just happened?Then, remembering the notification he'd seen moments earlier, his expression immediately darkened.Yesterday.He hadn't used his daily two touches!With everything that had happened involving Officer Mark and the mysterious maniac who
What Did Cassie Find?
Meanwhile... While Jay was making his way towards the exit, he immediately caught sight of someone watching him.George.The man stood a short distance away, his brows furrowed as he watched Jay with an expression that was difficult to interpret.In fact, Jay had noticed George's lingering attention earlier while he and Stacy were enjoying each other's company at the bar. The man had been watching them intermittently, seemingly unable to take his eyes off the two.However, Jay had been too caught up in the moment to pay much attention to him.Now, their eyes briefly met.Jay frowned inwardly.Geez, what's up with this guy?He couldn't understand what George's problem was. Nevertheless, he had no intention of finding out.Without giving him another glance, Jay casually walked past him and continued towards the exit.A few minutes later, he finally reached his G-Wagon, unlocked the doors, and settled into the driver's seat.As soon as he closed the door, he let out a long, satisfying br
It's a Date!
“OH! MY GOD!”The sudden exclamation erupted from somewhere behind them, shattering the quiet moment.Jay and Stacy immediately pulled apart, the unexpected interruption catching them both off guard. Jay turned towards the voice, while Stacy briefly squeezed her eyes shut, a faint flush creeping across her cheeks.She already knew who it was.Elena.Standing a few steps away, Elena held a glass in one hand, her cheeks slightly flushed and a mischievous smile spreading across her face. Her gaze flickered between Jay and Stacy, and the delighted expression on her face only grew as she pieced together what she had just witnessed.“Oh, my goodness!” she exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger between the two of them. “Was I interrupting something?”Stacy immediately brought one hand to her face, wishing, if only for a moment, that the floor would open up and swallow her.“Elena!”“What?” Elena asked, putting on an exaggeratedly innocent expression. Yet the playful glint in her eyes betraye
Just a Little Closer
One of the elderly gentlemen eventually shifted his attention towards Jay, who had been quietly listening to their discussion.Seeing an opportunity to satisfy his curiosity, he took a sip of his whisky before offering a friendly smile.“By the way, Jay, what line of business are you involved in?”Jay briefly turned towards him.“Me?”The elderly man nodded. “Yes. I don't believe we've had the chance to discuss that yet.”Jay hesitated for a moment before giving a casual smile.“I'm involved in a few investments, along with some business ventures. I also hold shares in a couple of companies.”It was more or less the same explanation he'd given Mr. Mattina earlier.“Oh, really?” the man remarked, visibly intrigued.The second elderly gentleman, who had been listening attentively, couldn't resist joining in.“That's quite interesting. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of investments do you actually make? I mean, judging by the gift you presented to Mrs. Mattina, you must have quite
The Billionaire Standing Beside Them
“Really?” Jay asked with a hint of surprise.Elena nodded enthusiastically. “Of course! I'm very sure you're going to love it. I put a lot of effort and inspiration into making sure it's perfect.”She paused, then added, “Actually, I'll have it delivered to your place by tomorrow.”“That's great. I'm looking forward to seeing it,” Jay replied with a smile.“Trust me, you won't be disappointed.”Elena was about to say something else when her gaze suddenly shifted towards the other side of the ballroom. She spotted a familiar figure standing with her parents and two elderly gentlemen.“Oh! There she is!”Before Jay could ask who she was talking about, Elena grabbed his arm excitedly.“Come on! Let's go say hello.”“Wait, where are we—”But Elena was already pulling him along.As they approached the small gathering, Jay could hear bits of the conversation taking place between Stacy, her parents, and the two elderly men.“...which is why I believe the recent development could create an en
An Unexpected Apology
Jay briefly considered finding another place to get his drink, but before he could make up his mind, Hale lifted his head and their eyes met.For a moment, Hale simply stared at him before slowly lowering his gaze towards the counter.“Jay,” he called out.Jay turned slightly. “Yeah?”'Come on, man. Is he about to ask me to invest fifty million in his father's bankrupt company again? Jay wondered, already assuming he knew what Hale wanted.Hale hesitated for a few seconds, swirling the whisky in his glass before finally speaking again.“Can I talk to you for a moment?”Jay studied him for a few seconds before giving a slight nod.“Sure.”Hale let out a slow breath and took another sip of his drink as Jay approached.“I'm sorry, man,” he suddenly said.The unexpected apology made Jay's eyebrows rise slightly. Before he could respond, Hale finally turned to face him.“No, it's fine. I mean, if I were in your shoes, I would've done whatever it took to save my father's company,” Jay repli
