The WealthTap System: Rising from Rags to Riches

"If you are angry about your hair, don't be," Chris said softly, "I like them like this, they show your real side."

"What do you mean by real side?" Aria scoffed lightly.

"This side, your cute side," Chris smiled charmingly.

"What?" Aria blushed a little after being cute once again by Chris.

"..." Chris didn't reply to her and kept looking into her emerald eyes with an attractive and flirty smile on his face.

Aria also gulped in anticipation for the next words that Chris was going to speak, but...

"Order please," the Waiter, just had to come over to their table and disturb them!

Chris looked at the waiter in annoyance, while the waiter was currently busy gaping out at Aria's charming presence.

"2 of your chef specials and a bottle of fine wine, thank you," Chris told his order while giving a glare to the waiter.

He didn't know why, but his possessive genes suddenly awakens in presence of Aria. He truly just want to make her his and only his woman.

"Sorry I ordered without asking, would you like anything else?" Chris apologized to Aria after he saw the waiter trotting back away in fear.

"Dessert?" Aria tilted her head cutely.

"I think the speciality is a 3-course meal, dessert is included," Chris answered back after a little thought.

"Ah, have you been here before?" Aria narrowed her eyes and questioned.

"Nope, but, I searched many things before choosing this hotel, I didn't want any issues tonight."Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

"Yet, you drove at your fastest speed and made it the worst day of my life?" Aria asked with a sarcastic, cold smile.

"You were just waiting to say this, huh?" Chris sighed and leaned closer to Aria, "Tell me the truth, did you really hate it that much?" he whispered in his seductive demonic voice.

"Yes," Aria answered without an ounce of hesitation.

"Peer deep in your heart, and answer me, did you really hate it that much? Do you never want me to drive that fast?" Chris smiled charmingly and asked, his face still very close to Arias.

Aria gulped seeing the distance between their faces, if she just leans a little more toward Chris she might even kiss him! Her heartbeats raced after thinking that Chris might really kiss her!

"Y-Yes," however, she still didn't back down on her commitment that it was the worst day of her life.

"And, you aren't lying?" Chris looked into her eyes and asked, his charm stabbing into the pure maiden's heart mercilessly.

"I-I..." Aria felt short of words when looking deep into his eyes and her heart urged her to just close her eyes and let the magic happen...

Aria listened to her heart's call and closed her eyes, waiting for her first kiss to happen, she would also experience the heavenly feeling she had heard about... but, it never came, and none of her fantasies came true...

Furious, Aria opened her eyes and saw that Chris was sitting back on his seat with his chin rested on his palm, looking at her with a smile.

"So, you didn't hate it after all." Chris chuckled acting like he didn't just break Aria's heart by not fulfilling her wish.

Chris wasn't dumb nor dense, he knew that Aria wanted to kiss him too, but, Max's advice was still fresh in his mind.

'Do not kiss her at the beginning of the date even if you get the chance to!' to some people, this advice may seem plain stupid.

Deny a kiss? Which idiot will do that? The wannabe online Sigma studs?

No, Max had a valid reason for his advice, 'Imagine that you are on a date and you aren't even a couple, you end up kissing her in the start, it may feel awesome but, what after that?'

'She will get embarrassed, and you will feel at a loss of what to do next. The date will get awkward and boom! You have failed!'

'Instead, you deny her the kiss, make her long for it, and make her regret not taking the opportunity she got. Hehe, that feels awesome~'

This was the whole advice that Max had given and Chris had learned this wholeheartedly to make his date with Aria the best!

Aria blushed in embarrassment and berated her heart for being so stupid and falling for Chris's tricks, her small lips formed a cute pout when she stared back at Chris.

"I hate it, and I hate you." Aria harrumphed in annoyance at getting played with, but, Chris also knew that she didn't really mean the 'I hate you' part.

Because, if she had meant it, Chris would have been facing a couple of glasses of wine and water on his face.

"Haha, alright, I apologize. I am sorry," Chris gave a gentle smile and just seeing that smile, all of Aria's anger vanished into thin air.

"Y-Yeah, you better be." Aria blushed with a sweet smile forming on her face, just with that, the whole mood of the date went back to normal and they kept chatting and joking until the food arrived.

"Sir, Ma'am, today's speciality is Cheese Lamb Lasagna, with a Creamy Risotto," this time the food was delivered by a female waitress, that gave some 'looks' to Chris. However, he completely ignored them.

The waitress pouted due to being ignored and left after serving the dishes, not without leaving an annoyed stomp for Chris.

"You broke the poor girl's heart," Aria giggled playfully, happy over the nonchalant reaction that Chris had given to the waitress.

"With a goddess eating with me, I would be stupid to play with mortals," Chris chuckled at Aria while passing her a flirty wink.

"I... really hate you," Aria blushed again and focused on the dish instead.

A subtle wisp of smoke emanated from the sizzling hot dish, carrying with it an enticing aroma consisting of myriads of delicious ingredients.

The dish was as if beckoning the customer to indulge in its tempting flavors and mouth-watering textures.

Its golden brown crust of melted cheese and the garnish of finely chopped parsley was a true feast for the eyes.

Unable to control herself in front of such an enticing dish, Aria picked up her fork and knife, cutting a small bite while Chris waited to see her reaction to the dish.

"Umm~" Aria moaned in delight as the tender layers of pasta, creamy ricotta cheese, and seasoned ground lamb melted in her mouth, assaulting her delicate taste buds mercilessly with their mesmerizing flavors.

The aroma and flavors were so intense that it was impossible for Aria to resist taking another bite. She closed her eyes, savoring every last moment of the dish.

Chris looked at Aria's reaction with a hint of surprise and took one bite himself to understand her cause of such delight...
