Chapter 216 Misunderstood Sylvie
"I gotta go," James muttered, gritting his teeth.
"James, seriously? I asked you to come over, and now you're bailing? Get over here, let's chat!" Sylvie called out, flashing a cheerful smile.
"What are we even gonna talk about? Can't we just chat like this?" James asked.
"I've got such a great figure. Don't you wanna come over and check it out?" Sylvie teased, showing off her fair, beautiful legs to tempt him.
Hooking up with a gorgeous internet celebrity was probably a dream for most guys, and James was no exception. But right now, looking at the stunning Sylvie, he felt a bit uneasy.
James wasn't a saint; he definitely wanted to get with such a beautiful woman. But a voice in his head kept telling him to stay cool. There was no such thing as a free lunch, especially when a beautiful woman was offering herself. There had to be a catch!
The misunderstanding between James and Laura was still unresolved. If he hooked up with Sylvie now and she used it against him, she could easily become the next Jennifer!
James took a deep breath to calm his racing heart, then looked at Sylvie with a blank expression and asked, "What's your game here?"
"Game?" Sylvie was caught off guard by the question. With her sharp, cunning eyes glaring, she shot back, "I don't have a game. I just want you to come over and chat with me. Is that so wrong?"
"Do you already know my identity? Are you trying to seduce me and then blackmail me?" James took a step forward, shouting with a very agitated expression.
If Sylvie didn't know his identity, James couldn't figure out why such a beautiful woman would be seducing him. To her, James was just a broke guy with no money and no status. If it was just because he helped her beat Victor today, that didn't add up.
So James figured Sylvie must have known who he really was, which was why she was doing this. The incident with Jennifer had already taught him a lesson, and he wasn't about to make the same mistake twice.
"Your identity?" Sylvie was puzzled by the question, then asked in a confused tone, "What identity?"
"Never mind that. What do you really want today? If you don't make it clear, I'm outta here!" James shouted, clearly frustrated.
Sylvie gave James a disdainful look, then chuckled and said, "How boring! Forget it, I won't mess with you anymore!"
After saying this, Sylvie yawned and turned to walk towards her bedroom.
"Mess with me? What do you mean by that?" James was confused by Sylvie's words and quickly asked.
"Honestly, I never planned to hook up with you. I just thought you looked so clueless, it was funny, so I wanted to mess with you. Otherwise, why do you think I was teasing you? I'm so good-looking, with a great figure, why would I want to hook up with a delivery guy like you?" Sylvie replied casually.
"If you didn't want to hook up, then why'd you seduce me and bring me to your place?" James asked, clearly puzzled.
"Didn't I already explain? I brought you here to crash for the night 'cause I was worried Victor would find you and beat you up. I'd feel bad if that happened!" Sylvie said casually, adjusting her nightgown.
"Then why are you dressed so sexy?" James quickly fired back.
"Dude, I just took a shower and threw on a nightgown. Besides, I'm not dressed like this for you. Why are you being so full of yourself?" Sylvie rolled her eyes at him.
"It's just the two of us here. If you're not dressed for me, then for whom, a ghost?" James retorted confidently.
Sylvie shook her head slightly, then said helplessly, "I'm gonna stream later. I'm dressed like this for my fans, okay?"
"You're gonna stream?" James was stunned.
"Yeah, I just signed with StreamVerse a few days ago. Otherwise, how would I have so much money to buy a car and a house?" Sylvie replied softly, then walked into her bedroom.
James hesitated for a moment but followed her inside.
Sylvie's bedroom was super cozy, mostly decked out in pink. The curtains, carpet, and bedspread were all pink.
There was also a computer by the bed, along with lighting and sound equipment.
James had seen Linda's streaming setup before, and it was similar to what Sylvie had now.
'Did I really misunderstand Sylvie? She's not dressed like this to seduce me but for her stream?'
James began to waver in his thoughts.
If Sylvie really didn't know his identity, then she had no reason to seduce him.
Sylvie stood in front of the camera and quickly adjusted the equipment. After making sure everything was set, she turned on the computer.
Then she turned to James and said, "When I'm streaming, don't talk randomly or appear on camera, or the viewers will get the wrong idea."
"Okay!" James nodded lightly.
Seeing James agree, Sylvie then opened StreamVerse, and her image appeared on the computer screen.
As soon as the stream started, a ton of viewers joined, and they began sending messages to greet Sylvie.
"Good evening, everyone. Sorry for starting the stream a bit late tonight. I hope you won't blame me!" Sylvie began interacting with her viewers.
[It's okay, better late than never. After all, Sylvie is so beautiful, like a goddess!]
[Yeah, even if Sylvie is late, we're willing to wait!]
[Sylvie, your nightgown is so sexy today!]
The viewers in the stream started sending flattering messages.
Meanwhile, James stood awkwardly to the side, realizing that Sylvie really didn't dress like this to seduce him. She did it for her stream.
James had overthought everything today.
Watching Sylvie chat with her viewers, James felt a sense of embarrassment. Today's situation was too awkward. Why would someone as beautiful as Sylvie want to seduce a poor delivery guy like him?
