After showering, she lay in bed, tossing and turning for a while, but couldn’t fall asleep. By some strange twist of fate, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Jacob: “The range hood at home seems to be broken again.”
In the rental apartment.
Macy was already fast asleep.
Jacob was browsing through the short video he had posted, which currently had 65 likes, and his account had gained 20 new followers.
However, the video views had almost stagnated; the traffic brought by the 300 dollars he spent was likely exhausted! He earned 105 dollars but lost 195 dollars! His first attempt at promoting a work had failed.
But it wasn’t a total loss. Jacob decided to heed the requests of those LSP fans and try to film more material featuring Layla or other well-endowed female coaches next time.
Oh, right, he could also film more of that girl named Mira; the LSP fans would probably enjoy watching her.
Thinking of this, he opened WhatsApp. In the afternoon, Mira had shared a video of herself and Layla being secretly filmed. At that time, he was too busy watching the video and later triggered a task without replying to her, which was somewhat impolite.
So, a few hours after receiving her message, Jacob replied: “I’ve been busy, thanks for sharing.”
At that moment, Mira was chatting with three admirers on her phone. These admirers needed to be fed some affection occasionally to keep their enthusiasm alive.
So when Jacob’s message came through, she saw it immediately.
Mira’s mood brightened instantly; she thought that Jacob would remain aloof forever.
However, she didn’t reply right away, as that would seem too cheap. Instead, she pondered what to say in response.
On the other hand, after replying to Mira, Jacob suddenly received a message from Vienna: “It seems the range hood at home is broken again.”
Seeing the message from this beautiful young woman, Jacob was momentarily stunned before he realized it.
Is it really the range hood that’s broken? It’s the drain that needs to be unclogged! However, Vienna sending such a message at this time gave Jacob the perfect opportunity to complete a task.
Vienna’s first task after coming online was [A Sweet Night], with a reward of a learning card *1 and attribute points *2.
Jacob was very interested in attribute points, but due to Rick’s presence, he thought he wouldn’t have a chance at this task. He never expected Vienna would proactively send him a message.
Ding! Just as Jacob was contemplating how to respond to the appointment, the other party retracted the message.
This made Jacob chuckle; clearly, this beautiful young woman was feeling quite conflicted inside.
“I saw it,” Jacob replied.
At that moment, Vienna, seeing Jacob’s reply, felt her entire body heat up. After sending the message, she regretted it; they had just had two encounters at noon, and now she was giving such hints again in the evening. What would he think of her? So, just seconds after sending the message, she quickly retracted it, thinking Jacob probably hadn’t seen it.
But he replied instantly, and the simple phrase “I saw it” felt like it stripped her bare. At this point, Vienna gritted her teeth and replied: “He went out to have fun, not at home.”
Upon receiving the message, Jacob’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a wave of heat surged in his lower abdomen. Any normal man would find it hard to remain calm upon receiving such information, especially since the other party had a buff! He turned to look at Macy, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, caught in a struggle.
Actually, knowing Macy, this girl would sleep until dawn; as long as he returned early, it shouldn’t be a problem.
But what if? What if Macy woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t find her dad? What if something happened to her at home? Forget it, his precious daughter was more important! For a daughter slave like Jacob, making this decision wasn’t difficult.
Just as he was about to reply to Vienna, he suddenly received a WhatsApp message from Lara: “Brother-in-law, I just finished an interview task and can’t return to the school dormitory. I can only stay at your place.”
Seeing this WhatsApp message, Jacob couldn’t help but smile; it was like someone offering a pillow just as he was dozing off.
He immediately replied: “Where are you now? It’s so late; I’ll come pick you up.”
“No need, I’m pretty close to your place. A taxi will do,” Lara replied.
“Okay, then send me the license plate number once you’re in the car.”
Jacob sent the message as a reminder and then replied to Vienna: “I’ll be there in an hour.”
Upon receiving the message, Vienna immediately became nervous; after all, she had never done anything like this before.
