Chapter 019 Dumbfounded
Pamela: Favorability +1

Pamela: Favorability +1
...
After Charles transferred eight hundred thousand dollars, Pamela's favorability towards Charles started to increase again.
Even without meeting face-to-face, it kept rising.
Pamela's initial favorability towards Charles had already reached 88 points.
Now, with a steady increase, the favorability had reached 94 points.
Just one more point to break the critical threshold and successfully turn the tables!
But just when it was one point away, the favorability stopped increasing!
"Damn it, can you not ruin my good mood? I was so close to success."
Charles looked at the system interface, seeing Pamela's favorability progress, and almost swore.
Should he continue transferring money?
No way.
Too much of anything is bad.
If he kept transferring money, she might just see him as a ATM, and it wouldn't necessarily increase favorability.
Money + sweet talk = unbeatable.
Now he had the money, but he hadn't said enough sweet words.
Moreover, Charles wasn't good at sweet-talking.
Of course, Charles would never confess his feelings to Pamela.
Because he had a painful lesson from the past.
Back then, he got into a passive situation because he confessed too early to Lisa.
Later, he summarized his experience.
The most correct way to pursue a girl is to never confess.
Just ask her for dating directly!
If she agrees to go out, it means she has some interest in you, and you can continue to develop it.
If she doesn't agree, then end it early and cut your losses, to avoid getting deeper and becoming someone else's slave.
Once you confess, your neediness is exposed, and the girl will instinctively dodge.
She might even distance herself from you!
Chasing her at that point would be hellishly difficult.
Initially, Charles never planned to really pursue Pamela.
He always saw Pamela as a money-making tool.
So in front of Pamela, he was very casual and relaxed, even deliberately losing his temper in front of her a couple of days ago.
Because he didn't care, he seemed particularly suave!
After thinking for a moment, Charles: [If you ever have any difficulties, let me know. I'll help you with anything.]
No, he couldn't be too flattering to Pamela!
He had lent her eight hundred thousand dollars, not the other way around, so why should he flatter her?
Charles thought about how he used to flatter Lisa and felt disgusted.
He quickly deleted the message.
He typed again: [Pamela, you are not allowed to flirt with other guys anymore, got it?]
Still no good!
The words were too harsh and uncomfortable to hear.
Besides, he didn't intend to make Pamela his girlfriend anyway.
He deleted it again.
Finally, Charles simply sent Pamela two words: [Good night!]
That's right.
'Good night' is the most appropriate polite term at this moment.
Charles thought he shouldn't guess Pamela's inner thoughts.
Instead, he should let Pamela be unsure of his true attitude.
Only then could he remain invincible!
Turning passive into active, that's the highest realm of a love guru!
Pamela: [Good night, Charles!]
Pamela immediately replied.
But the favorability still didn't increase.
'Forget it, let it be. The more anxious I am, the easier it is to make mistakes. Let's deal with it tomorrow.'
Charles sighed.
...
Early the next morning, at the boys' dormitory of the second phase apartment, a good-looking girl, holding a delicate breakfast, had been waiting for over ten minutes.
"Damn, this girl is hot. She's holding breakfast! I wonder which lucky guy got her to bring him breakfast?"
"I've seen plenty of guys bringing breakfast to girls, but this is the first time I've seen a girl bringing breakfast to a guy!"
"Why won't any good girls date me? I've been single for over twenty years despite being so handsome!"
As a group of guys pointed and commented.
Charles and his three roommates, Tom, Jesse, and Robert, came downstairs.
As soon as he walked out of the boys' dormitory, Lisa, who had been waiting for a long time, ran up to Charles.
"Charles, I brought you breakfast. Let's go to class together!" Lisa said flatteringly.
"No, you eat it yourself. We should keep some distance to avoid misunderstandings."
Charles said seriously, decisively rejecting Lisa.
As soon as he said that, several guys who had been watching Lisa for a long time almost burst into angry!
"Damn, who is this guy? Why is he so heartless?"
"Damn it, such a hot girl brought him breakfast, and Why he looks disgusted? He's not even that handsome, not as handsome as me. Could Lisa be coerced?"
As two bespectacled guys fumed, another hot, high-value girl walked over.
She glanced at Lisa, her eyes showing strong hostility.
"Charles, I brought you breakfast, and it's still warm, hurry up and eat it!"
Pamela said in a sweet voice.
Her soft and flirtatious voice almost made several nerds' bones turn to jelly.
"Damn! Another top-tier girl brought him breakfast. Who the hell is this guy?"
"He must be super rich!"
"Amazing! This is a love guru, making two such hot girls fight over him. His skills are top-notch!"
At this moment, Robert, Tom, and Jesse were almost stunned!
They had always thought Charles was just bragging in the dorm!
But who would have thought he was actually this amazing!
Lisa and Pamela were fighting to bring him breakfast.
And even though they saw each other, neither backed down.
What the hell is going on?
At this moment, the atmosphere was a bit weird.
These two attractive girls held a breakfast, both handing it to Charles.
Just waiting to see which one he would choose.
More and more boys came downstairs, gathering to watch.
"Isn't this the loser Charles? When did he become so amazing?"
"It seemed that I'm on the right track. Look, even Charles succeeded. If I persist in confessing to Snow Green, maybe one day I'll succeed too?"
"Snow? Lacus Magnus University's number one Prom Queen? You must be dreaming, right?"
"Bro, are you drunk?"
"Charles, we haven't had breakfast yet. If you don't eat, let us have it!"
Tom saw the awkward atmosphere and spoke up to ease the tension.
"Alright, you guys can have it!"
Charles took both Pamela and Lisa's breakfasts and handed them to Tom and Robert.
The move made both Pamela and Lisa a bit unhappy.
But while they were unhappy, they also felt relieved.
At least Charles didn't eat the other girl's breakfast, saving some face.
The atmosphere eased a bit.
But just then, the School of Arts' number one beauty, Prom Queen Jessica, walked over with a packed breakfast of coffee, waffles, sausages, and bacon.
She walked gracefully to Charles.
"Here's your breakfast!"
For a moment, all the boys stood frozen, dumbfounded.
