Chapter 173 How Much is This Piano?
After signing the papers, the crew made sure the piano was all good and then bounced.
Right then, Charles strolled out of the bathroom.
His hand was healing up fast.
Maybe it was 'cause of his supercharged body; the cut he got around midnight was already scabbing over by 2 PM, just a few hours later, and it barely hurt anymore.
Guessed having a jacked body also meant you heal like Wolverine!
Charles wasn't wearing anything except a towel wrapped around his waist as he walked out.
Ripped chest, eight-pack abs, and those killer V-lines!
All out in the open.
The room was practically buzzing with testosterone.
Jessica and Lori were totally floored when they saw him!
They never thought that Charles, who usually looked kinda scrawny, had such a killer bod.
Even better than a male model's!
"Pervert, can't you see there are two girls here? How dare you not wear clothes?" Lori covered her eyes with her hands.
But she left a big gap between her fingers, pretending to be shy while sneaking peeks!
"Jessica, my clothes are dirty. Can you grab me some new threads?"
"Wait a sec, I think we have some men's clothes at home. Sarah likes to wear men's stuff. Not sure if they'll fit you, but I'll go check. I'll let Sarah know later!"
Jessica also covered her face and dashed past Charles.
'His body is amazing! I really want to touch it! Ugh! Jessica, how can you be so thirsty? You're a girl, you need to chill!' Jessica couldn't help but think, her cheeks turning red.
Speaking of Sarah, this tomboy stood at 5'9". Pretty tall for a girl.
She usually rocked a unisex style and wore men's clothes.
Her wardrobe was always on point, trendy, and cool! Mostly loose-fitting stuff.
Charles usually dressed pretty laid-back, but when he put on Sarah's clothes, they fit like a glove!
Maybe girls just have a better eye for fashion than guys!
After Charles changed, he was dripping with style and swag, looking super handsome with a high-quality vibe.
No wonder when girls cut their hair short and dressed like dudes, they often looked even more handsome than guys.
Turned out guys had already lost the fashion game, 'cause they didn't really know how to pick clothes!
"I didn't expect you to look quite handsome with a new outfit!" Lori's eyes showed a hint of appreciation.
Though her words were still sharp.
After all, Charles had seen her naked, and that rogue image wasn't easy to shake off.
Her attitude softened a bit. Not the same as before, where she would threaten to call the cops at any moment!
Yep, girls could be shallow too.
When a creepy guy saw them naked, they felt disgusted, angry, and wanna kill him!
When a hot guy saw them naked, they felt it's kinda okay, not so gross, and even a bit shy!
Charles glanced at Lori. Lori was a cute girl.
She and Jessica were childhood friends, but she still looked like a minor.
"Hey, I'm Charles. There was a bit of a mix-up earlier, hope you don't hold it against me!"
'Ding! Simp action initiated!'

Sweet!
Another simp target locked and loaded.
'System, this is a mess, isn't it? This girl is Jessica's childhood friend. This is gonna be tricky!'
Charles felt a headache coming on.
He didn't really care about Lori at first, but when he checked out Lori's profile.
He paused for a moment.
This girl was actually a hacker?
That's badass!
Those skills are super useful!
Since he just bought Big Cat TV, having someone who’s a whiz at hacking and software programming would be perfect for Big Cat TV!
She could be a tech director or something!
"Um, hi, I'm Lori. There was indeed a misunderstanding earlier!" Lori smiled slightly.
She seemed to forgive Charles and wasn't hung up on the earlier incident, but she secretly decided she wouldn't let him get close to Jessica.
She wanted to make Charles understand the serious consequences of ticking off a woman.
Charles really thought Lori had let go of the earlier awkwardness, thinking Lori was pretty chill.
"By the way, Charles, how much did you drop on the piano you got for Jessica?"
"It wasn't much. Just a regular gift. As long as she likes it, it's cool!"
"What brand is this piano? Let me check!"
Lori was convinced it wasn't anything fancy.
The piano was just made of crystal, looking all flashy.
In reality, it might just be the price of a bag she would buy!
Right then, Charles's phone rang.
"Hello, Mr. Smoke, this is Billy Nguyen. We talked yesterday. I was wondering when you'd be free to check out the building?"
"Anytime works. Why don't you send me the location, and I'll head over now!"
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go for a walk and check out the building since he was feeling pretty pumped after the shower!
"Alright, Mr. Smoke, I'll send you the location right away!"
Charles hung up the phone.
Lori felt even more disdainful!
This piano really wasn't worth much.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have dodged the question when she mentioned checking the price.
"Jessica, I gotta run out for a bit. Wanna come with me?"
"I'd better not. Lori came all the way to visit me, so I'll stay with her!"
Jessica really wanted to go out with Charles, but she couldn't just ditch Lori, and Lori probably wouldn't want to tag along.
So after thinking it over, she decided to pass.
