356 The Sin of Envy
Alex’s date with Mimi came to an end when he brought her back to her apartment, and spend the night alone with her. By the time the sun rose on the next day, the young idol had a content smile on her flawless face.
Any sense of loneliness which she had previously been suffering from had been temporarily batted away by Alex’s presence, and the date which he took her on. Of course, the moment Alex crawled out of bed, and dressed himself for the day, he came down the stairs to find Ji-An in a slightly sour mood over the fact that he had gone out with Mimi before her.
Not letting this as a chance for Ji-An’s bitterness to sour into something far more malicious, Alex slapped the woman’s eyes, before taking her into her arm, and assailing her lips with his tongue. This was an act which caused her to blush, and struggle at first, before accepting the man’s gesture of affection.
Once Alex had ceased his attack, he whispered into her ears with a seductive tone in his voice, scolding her for the clear envy which she was displaying.
“You know I don’t like it when my women are jealous of one another… Can you not be a little more patient? Today is all about you, after all!”
With such shameless words, and his ability [Siren’s Call] passively influencing the woman, how could she possibly stay mad at Alex? As a result she bashfully turned her head, and spoke in a voice so low, it was almost as if she did not intend for Alex to hear her words.
“I’m sorry…”
Still, Alex’s exceptional hearing quickly picked up on the details of what the woman had said causing him to smirk as he grabbed hold of the fresh plate of breakfast that Ji-An had prepared for herself, and herself alone, before taking it over to the table where he ate it with a shameless smirk on his face.
Ji-An gawked at Alex’s actions. He knew damn well that she had unusually only prepared breakfast for herself as a means of silently protesting his date with Mimi, and yet he stole it for himself, and ate it in front of her. Not only that, he had the gall to demand she cook up two more sets of breakfast for herself and Mimi. f
It was utterly infuriating, and yet, she could not be mad at the man. She subconsciously thought that Alex must have cast some kind of spell on her, not realizing that such an absurd statement was more truth than fantasy.
Eventually Mimi did come down the stairs where she sat across from Alex and Ji-An while asking the two of them what they had planned for their date today, as if she were utterly immune to the sin of envy.
“So? What are the two of you going to do on your date? Don’t hide it from me! I want to know!”
As a simple manager for idols, Ji-An had no contractual obligation to stay single for the sake of public appearances. And because of this, she could openly date Alex in public, unlike Mimi. But unlike Mimi, Ji-An was so swarming with managing her that she had no time to even dream about what a date between her and Alex would be.
Because of this, Alex smirked. He knew Ji-An pretty well. No doubt thanks to the system which outlined many of her likes and dislikes for him. And while Mimi may be more interested in going to the zoo to see land based animals. Ji-An was more of an aquarium type of girl.
Since this was the case, Alex spoke of where he intended to take Ji-An for their date.
“Isn’t it obvious? I’m going to take her to the local aquarium. I mean, she does have a season pass, doesn’t she?”
Ji-An stared at Alex in disbelief. She had no idea that the ma knew so much about her interests. And was quick to stumble over her words, not being able to find the proper way to express her feelings.
“I um.. That is… You see!”
Alex took a bite out of his breakfast before continuing on with the knowledge he had regarding the woman’s interests, further shocking her, and causing Mimi to become delighted with joy.
“What? You don’t want to see the Orcas? They are your favorite, aren’t they?”
Ji-An’s brain was completely fried when she heard this, causing her to just stare at Alex with her mouth agape. Meanwhile, Mimi expressed her own surprise at how much Alex knew about her manager and best friend.
“Wow! Alex, I had no idea that you knew so much about Ji-An!”
Alex nodded his head slightly, while confirming he knew a lot not only about Ji-An but also about most of the women he was romantically and sexually involved with.
“It’s not just Jiji, I know a lot about you too Mimi, and pretty much all the others, that is. I just don’t reveal it very often. So keep it a secret, will you?”
Ever being a beacon of innocence, Mimi quickly agreed to Alex’s request without thinking why he would make it. Which was obvious because he liked teasing certain members of his harem, like Ji-An for example.
As for Ji-An, she remained completely and utterly silent, but her face was still flushed red. And though she averted her gaze, she kept glancing back at Alex in between bites of her breakfast. Thinking to herself, questioning just how much this guy really knew about her.
If she was remotely capable of gaining more affection for Alex, then she would have indeed done so then and there. But she was maxed out, and because of this Alex was not alerted by the system just how much he had made the woman happy with his slight gesture.
