Chapter 020 Jessica is a tough character
"Wh...what? How is it possible? How could Jessica bring breakfast to Charles? This can't be real. This must be a damn hallucination!"
"Jessica is like a goddess to me. How could she do something like this to this guy? No! I don't believe it!"
"What kind of magic did Charles use? Why are Lisa, Pamela, and Jessica all trying to please him? He's not even that handsome, and he doesn't have much money either. I saw him delivering packages just last week."
Most of the guys couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Robert, Tom, and Jesse were completely dumbfounded.
The goddess they had secretly admired for three years, Jessica, was actually bringing breakfast to Charles?
Was he still their roomate?
"Are you sure you're Charles?"
"Did you somehow get Cupid's powers?"
"How else could you be so impressive?"
Compared to the other guys, Lisa and Pamela truly understood why Jessica was being nice to Charles.
It was obvious—Charles had given Jessica so many gifts which value $150,000 in total.
Bringing him breakfast for a month wouldn’t even begin to cover it.
As long as she could maintain a good relationship with Charles and get his support, Jessica's career in live streaming would skyrocket.
It wouldn't be long before she became a major influencer.
Just this morning, Jessica made it to the trending list on Twitter.
And the reason why she was trending was the same as Mia a few days ago—being given gifts which value a large amount of money by the mysterious wealthy user 'LonelySmoke,' causing her popularity to explode!
In just two days, she gained millions of followers.
On TikTok, many users were frequently discussing what happened that day.
Some even took screenshots and made videos about it.
And those videos went viral.
TikTok is a magical platform.
Sometimes, someone becomes famous just like that, out of the blue.
For some unknown reason, their popularity suddenly explodes.
Other users then frantically follow the trend.
Jessica's topic was gaining more and more traction.
Under this magical effect, she was on the verge of becoming a sensation.
Of course, Jessica was beautiful, had a good temperament, and was multi-talented.
She possessed favorable personal attributes, and Charles' appearance was just the spark that lit the fuse.
Even without Charles' lavish gifts, Jessica's development in the live streaming and short video industry wouldn't have been bad.
It just might not have happened as quickly.
"By the way, Charles, I have another gift for you. I saw your phone was old and still in use, so I bought you a new one. Hope you like it!"
With that, Jessica pulled out a brand new, unopened phone from her bag.
"Jessica is giving Charles a phone! What on earth has that annoying Charles done to deserve such treatment from Jessica?"
"Why? I don't understand what I lost to. What's so great about Charles?"
"No way, I can't stand it. I'm going to expose Charles' shameless behavior on our campus forum. He not only relies on women financially but also wants to be in relationships with three women."
As a group of guys looked on in frustration, Charles casually accepted the new phone Jessica gave him without any hint of embarrassment.
Charles took a bite of his waffle and sipped his coffee.
The feeling of receiving gifts from Jessica was just so cool!
It confirmed the old saying: It's not that beautiful women aren't proactive; it's that you've never seen them being proactive!
Jessica: Favorability +5
After accepting the gift, Jessica's favorability above her head increased by 5 points, bringing it to 45.
Charles was a bit surprised.
He didn't expect that receiving gifts could also increase favorability, not just giving them.
For Jessica, Charles had not eaten the delicate breakfasts prepared by Lisa and Pamela; he even gave their breakfasts to his roommates.
But he took several bites of the waffle Jessica casually bought.
And he happily accepted the gift she gave.
This showed that, in Charles' mind, her status was unmatched by Pamela and Lisa.
A phone worth a few thousand dollars.
There's no way he couldn't afford it.
He was so happy not because he received an iphone, but because the person who gave it made him feel good and cared about, which made him happy.
He valued the love and the thought behind it.
That's how Jessica believed!
Clearly, she misunderstood Charles.
Charles wasn't that noble; he wasn't thinking that much. He was actually quite shallow.
A phone worth over a thousand dollars was a luxury for him!
'You give me such an expensive gift, how could I not be excited?' Charles thought.
"Jessica, thank you for the gift. I really like it!"
"As long as you like it. I have to go now. I have a live streaming event tonight; it's my first time doing a sales in live stream. I hope you can come and support me then!" Jessica said.
At this point, Charles understood why Jessica suddenly gave him an Apple phone.
She wanted his support!
That made sense.
Jessica's favorability towards him wasn't high enough for her to pursue him actively.
She was giving him breakfast and a iphone, seemingly ambiguous.
But in reality, she was just using Charles to create more buzz.
This woman was very calculating.
She wasn't a young girl who would be blinded by love.
Today, her sudden appearance not only suppressed Lisa and Pamela, making the two women back off, but also created an illusion for Charles.
If Charles hadn't seen her favorability was only 45 points, he might have thought Jessica really fell for him.
But in reality, she hadn't invested real feelings.
She was just flirting with Charles.
If Charles got carried away and pursued Jessica recklessly, he would lose control and be manipulated.
Jessica was a tough character!
Charles suddenly came to his senses.
The so-called Prom Queen, once the goddess aura was gone, was just an ordinary woman.
At most, she was just prettier; that's all.
Prom Queens weren't as noble or pure as imagined.
They were human too, with the same emotions and desires, and the same vanity.
Seeing Jessica's favorability at 45 points, Charles's originally passionate heart seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water.
This woman was shrewd and hard to deal with!
Judging by her behavior alone, you couldn't tell how much she really liked you.
"Don't worry, Jessica. I'll definitely support you then!"
After saying that, Charles took a bite of the breakfasts prepared by Lisa and Pamela.
"Hmm, this tastes pretty good too. Here, I don't want the sausage. Anyone want it?"
Charles said, handing the sausage Jessica gave him to Jesse.
"Charles, this was from Jessica..." Jesse said.
"It's fine, it's just breakfast. I can eat a bit of everything!"
Charles acted nonchalantly.
As if the breakfast from goddess Jessica wasn't anything special to him.
"Jesse, I actually like sausages. How about give it to me?" Tom immediately said.
"Get lost. I can't even bear to eat it myself!"
