"Why do you keep looking at me?" In the middle of eating, Aldric couldn't help but ask.
He had not seen her stare in any other direction, only continue to stare at him.
"Why?" The woman smiled as she responded.
"Isn't it natural for one to keep staring at something that is pleasant to look at."
Aldric, "..."
"I didn't know that I was pleasant to look at," he said with a wry smile.
Unexpectedly, she was really teasing him here.
Of course, this was quite a surprise to him because she used to not be the type of woman who was blatant like this when saying something.
It couldn't be said that she changed or anything like that, it was probably just self-development as she grew older. Most of those who lived in the city were like that, unlike him who lived in the village.
While stuffing a small piece of meat into her mouth, the woman said, "I think I need to take a picture of you, so I can see this fun thing more often."
Fortunately, her voice was quite low since she started talking weird or else the people around them wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully tonight.
"Jenny, did you take the wrong medicine before coming here?" Aldric asked.
"Ohhh, maybe!" The woman suddenly tapped her own forehead.
"Sigh, I've been taking too much sleeping pills lately, is it affecting my brain?" She wondered with an expression that even looked serious.
Even if Aldric tended not to be very familiar with the problems in the city, he still realized that this woman was just pretending.
'This woman doesn't want me too, does she?' Aldric also wondered.
'No, I don't think so, she's a famous woman, how could she want an ordinary man like me.'
Even if they did get along in the past, the difference in their status was so great for now. He couldn't believe it.
It was likely that she just wanted to make him feel flowery.
Only, she still hadn't taken her eyes off him.
Something then made him knit his brows.
She was apparently pointing her cell phone camera at him.
It was like she was shooting a video.
"What are you doing, Jenny?" Aldric didn't like being recorded.
He quickly blocked the camera with his hand.
"Hehehe..." The woman laughed softly before putting her cell phone in her bag.
"What do you want to do with it?"
"Anything, probably."
"..."
"By the way, Aldric, living in the city is not easy, do you want to work?" The woman suddenly asked, finally looking a little serious but still more relaxed.
Speaking of working, Aldric was immediately interested because since arriving in London, he had indeed had a desire to work so that he could have some extra money.
That desire only turned into hesitation now that he already had a way to make money easily.
"What job?"
Although he thought it was better to play Magician Online, he still asked to find out.
"With you still in college, you can only get part time jobs. Those jobs are mostly waitressing or washing dishes at restaurants, but if you do those kinds of jobs, you're just wasting yourself," Jenny said.
"What do you mean?" Aldric couldn't help but ask again.
"Anyway, as a man, you have above-average good looks plus your physique is very nice and ideal. You are very suitable for modeling and you can definitely become famous. If you want, I can help you get into a modeling agency that can be famous and can boost your career. It's a relaxing job, and if you succeed, you'll make a lot of money."
Aldric did not expect that Jenny would give him an offer to become a model.
It was actually unthinkable for him.
It wasn't that he couldn't think, but a job like modeling was too foreign to him before he came to London.
When it came to celebrities, he only knew that it consisted of singers and movie players.
He only knew details about models recently because at university there were some students who worked as models.
"How is it, are you interested?" Jenny gave him a question while he was thinking.
Unfortunately, a job where he had to be seen by many people was something he didn't want.
He shook his head.
"I guessed it, you're really an introvert," Jenny said seeing him shake his head.
She wasn't surprised at all.
"I can't pose in front of cameras like that. What if they ask me to pose strangely or ask me to take a picture in just my underwear? Doesn't that happen a lot?" Aldric said, which made Jenny laugh again.
"It makes even more money and you will be favored by many women."
"That's crazy, I don't want my body to become an object of women's lust."
"But your body is like that, the kind that can increase women's lust. It's not like they will use you as an object of lust, at most, they will just fantasize about you so that they can serve their partners better."
Aldric, "..."
"You seem to have taken the wrong medicine," he said.
"Come on, can't we joke around a bit, don't we usually like to joke around."
"I'm not sure if this can be called joking."
Aldric didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
When they were children, they joked about cartoons or jokes circulating in the village, not talking about something like this.
"Anyway, we're adults, our jokes are naturally different," the woman replied, putting down the fork in her hand.
"I think I've had my fill," she added with a chuckle.
"By the way, do you live in the university dormitory?" she asked afterwards.
"Yes..." Aldric replied, feeling strange that she was asking about that.
"That's unfortunate, doesn't that mean you're at least sleeping in the same room with one guy? You know, there are a lot of contagious diseases in the dorms. How about you stay with me in my apartment, there are two empty rooms there. I rarely stay there either because my work often requires me to stay in hotels."
Jenny didn't just speak, she took out an electronic key, placing it directly in front of Aldric before he could even say anything.
"The address is written on that key, not far from here," she added.
"Jenny, what's wrong with you?" Aldric almost flinched as he heard her offer him to stay in her apartment.
Had she gone mad to bring a man into her apartment?
In the village at that time, it was very rare that he could enter her house because she said it was dangerous to bring other people into the house even if they were familiar with her.
Now, she actually dared to do something like this.
Unfortunately, the woman just smiled, forcing him to take the key to the apartment.
"I won't take the key, if you don't keep it, someone else might take it and break into my apartment. Aldric, I'm sure you don't want your most beautiful friend to suffer because someone broke into my apartment," she said.
"Well, when do you want to move in, how about tonight so I can help carry your things. Honestly, it pains me to see my childhood friend living in that cramped dormitory with a man," she added.
The more Aldric heard her words, the more he felt like his head would explode.
He really did not understand what was going through her mind.
Actually the fact that she was so friendly to him after not seeing each other for a long time already surprised him.
After all, it wasn't like he was meeting an old friend for the first time who had left the village long ago. They usually tend to be indifferent and even arrogant.
"Jenny, I can't be like this," Aldric said.
If Jenny was a man, Aldric would be fine, but she was a very beautiful woman.
He might be a bit innocent, but he was still a normal man with a savage side.
What if his savage side awakened?
He could go crazy and prey on this woman.
Of course, he didn't want to do that to his friend.
For once, Jenny rolled her eyes after she heard his words.
Pa!
She suddenly kicked his feet under the table.
"You!" He was stunned to have his leg kicked.
"Aldric, oh, Aldric, I didn't expect you to still be like a child, but well, anyway, you've been in the village too long and only arrived in the city in a few days," Jenny said, letting out a soft sigh.
"How about we take a walk outside," she added.
It just so happened that by this time Aldric's food had run out.
Although he ate slowly, he didn't stop putting food in his mouth, so he was able to finish the meal after quite a while.
Since the food was gone, he couldn't keep sitting there, especially with so many people looking at him, he really wanted to go.
"Okay!" He nodded to Jenny.
After being treated by her, he couldn't refuse her invitation.
Jenny then brought the food she ordered before heading out of the restaurant with Aldric.
Of course, Aldric was carrying the electronic key that Jenny had given him.
She really would have left it at the restaurant if he hadn't taken it.
Unlike inside the restaurant, when she arrived outside, the woman was wearing a mask.
"The people inside the restaurant are more educated, they naturally won't make a scene to chase after a celebrity, but outside, there are all kinds of people. Some might chase me if they see me, forcing me to take pictures with them." Jenny explained why she was wearing a mask.
"Come on!"
She then invited him to walk with her.
Unfortunately, only her face was covered, her dazzling figure coupled with her blonde hair still attracted the attention of many people.
The good thing was that when she appeared, she often alternated her hair color with hair dye that disappeared after a while, so her blonde hair did not make people suspicious that it was her.
"What did you use to come here?" Aldric couldn't help but ask the woman.
As a celebrity, she was actually just walking around by herself.
Wasn't she worried about being kidnapped?
"That's my car," the woman replied as she pointed to a very luxurious black sports car.
It was in the courtyard of the dress shop directly opposite the restaurant.
Aldric had no idea that she had such a luxurious car.
"As expected of a famous singer, you're so rich now," he said.
With several albums hitting the market plus sponsorships from various parties plus concerts, who knew how much money she made.
"Of course." Jenny seems proud of her accomplishments.
"However, who knows how many hardships I went through to achieve all this. I've been talented at singing for a long time, but I still had to practice desperately to really have decent skills. It wasn't an easy journey."
The woman seemed to recall her struggles in recent years, making her expression seem exhausted.
Other people indeed only saw one's success more often without seeing the struggle behind it.
Aldric felt sorry for talking about her wealth.
"Sorry, you must be tired all this time," he said.
Jenny didn't seem to expect him to say that, and it actually made her smile again even though it was visible because of her mask, but it could be felt.
"Although you are indeed too innocent as a man, I think you are very intelligent in understanding the struggles of others. Honestly, you're the only one who has ever said that, the others still only care about my success even after I said there was a hard struggle behind it," she said.
"Ummm, did I just say something?" Aldric was a bit awkward all of a sudden.
It was not just because of the woman's words, but because of her gaze which could be said to be very intense.
"You have always been a good man, Aldric. That's why I'm closest to you. It seems that you are indeed the best choice for me."
"What's the best choice?" Aldric was dumbfounded again, feeling his heart begin to beat incoherently.
At the same time, Jenny stopped her steps, facing him.
"I know all the kids in the village have a crush on me including you. Yeah, however, I've been very beautiful since I was young. What about now, Aldric, do you still have a crush on me?" She asked, shaking her hair violently so that it floated in the air for a few moments, revealing her long, clean neck.
