Infinite Wealth System: Crazy Tasks, Insane Rewards!-Chapter 38: Camilia Takes The First Set
Chapter 38: Camilia Takes The First Set
He might just have slightly expected Camilla to question him about what happened when she called, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have a plan to lie his way out.
Of course, Jayden was one of the best living liars in the world, and he acknowledged himself for that.
Jayden reacted to her question by smiling awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.
"Ah... that," he sighed softly. "Honestly, it’s not what it sounded like. That was Bella... She’s my cousin. She always calls me that to mess with me. It’s kind of an inside joke from a while back. My ex used to call me ’babe’ all the time, and Bella never let it go."
Jayden wrapped it up with a chuckle.
"Ohh," Camilla hesitated before nodding. "Never thought you had a cousin. But it’s cool... Trust me, I’m not being jealous or anything. It just got weird the way you reacted when she called you by that name. Was just curious," Camilla replied, her face softening.
Jayden nodded.
At least he had done the best thing to dilute the issue. Now he only had to raise her Affection to 60%. And with that, there would be almost nothing to worry about.
"I’m fed up with my father’s dominance in my life, Jayden. I’m just so tired," Camilla then switched the conversation.
Jayden flinched. "What’s wrong?"
Camilla hesitated, her face faint as she seemed to recollect something, spoiling her mood even more.
"Something crazy... I’m literally tired of staying in that villa. I need to give myself a break from my father, at least for a complete twenty-four hours. If not, I’m gonna go crazy," Camilla revealed, her tone pretty sincere.
Jayden understood her feelings, as much as he understood why she wasn’t revealing the exact cause of her problems.
But of course, he had the best of predictions.
After she was called over and informed that the Prince of Nortasia visited her, he surely knew what was up.
He knew there must be a connection with having to marry the Prince or something, since it was widely known that Heston Frost was a strong ally of the King of Nortasia.
And it was clear...
Camilla must have been declining it, but her father must have been forcing her, taking purpose for a more important factor than love.
Jayden knew the strict principles of wealthy families these days, and it wasn’t a surprise.
Even though he hadn’t heard a single word about it from Camilla, he wasn’t entirely clueless.
At one point, while she spat out every reason to run away from being a Frost, she snapped her fingers and a sudden thought flashed in.
"Jayden... How about we book a full apartment in a seven-star hotel? I’d love you to be there with me. I want to be out of sight from my father for a while, for the sake of my mental health," Camilla said, rendering a pleading look at Jayden.
"Uhmm... Actually," Jayden paused for a second.
Camilla’s face already turned dark, thinking Jayden would turn it down...
Little did she know that she had just made one of his tasks a little bit easier.
Jayden definitely remembered the penthouse task, where he would have to bring in three different women in one week.
Camilla would definitely be one, and now he would only be looking forward to two other ladies.
"Actually, I already decided to rent a penthouse for a week. Was planning to take a break from the outskirts for a while, and it’d be great if you’d come over with me," Jayden spoke.
Camilla’s face changed, this time bright.
He hadn’t just accepted the idea but had even brought up a better place.
"Though I would only be spending two days. I have a business trip to help my father with in four days, so..."
"It’s okay. You can leave whenever you want. Two days is okay," Jayden smiled.
’Smart! I would definitely get enough time to bring in the other two,’ Jayden thought.
"Okay. What place do you have in mind?" Camilla then asked.
"Lightboard Penthouse in Oregon Island. That’d be a perfect place," Jayden smiled, grabbed the cup, and sipped.
"Oh, yeah. True. The view is nothing less than magnificent. I heard it was built by Calvin Engineering; they are definitely one of the best in the country," Camilla commented.
They both had a long chat together in the café and then decided to meet up the next day by 12 PM. Jayden already promised that he would book the rent right away, so all that was to be done was almost set.
Jayden saw Camilla to her car and had her leave, with her two bodyguards taking the front seats.
One of the bodyguards stared at him in a way that looked like a threat, interpreting: "Stay away from the future queen of Nortasia!"
But Jayden was calm. These guys were so protective and alert, as they had always been with Camilla.
But tomorrow was going to be different.
"Tomorrow, no one would have to call her over and spit blah blah blah about some shitty thing! She’d be all mine," Jayden muttered, smiling as he watched her car dash away.
Just then, he received a call...
{Sabrina.}
It was the ambassador.
He hadn’t been at work for two days, so he hadn’t gotten any update about the new car construction work after funding them the 18 million dollars required.
He believed she must be calling to update him.
"Hello, boss. Mrs. Lynna Hartley is here. She has been here for the past five hours, waiting. I told her you already ordered for her name to be deleted, but she insists she wants to meet you. From her looks, it feels like she really needs the job. I’d advise you to hurry up, sir," Sabrina explained.
Jayden couldn’t help but laugh after that when the call ended, that sudden realization striking him.
’She must have discovered what happened to her precious princess,’ he thought.
He stood at the parking lot and thought for a while, thinking of what to do. Jayden hadn’t been sure of many things, but he definitely believed that Lynna would come back.
For someone deadly soaked in debt, he knew she would have no choice.
"System, what do we do with this problem of a woman?" Jayden casually asked.
> [I say we make use of the problem.]
"How?" Jayden asked.
> [She is troublesome, yet smart. Well qualified and still young... Make her very useful.]
"What are you saying? Are you telling me to employ her? After what she did?" Jayden questioned, dark glints appearing in his eyes.
> [Not only employ her, host...]
> [I say you add her to your Harem.]
