Magician Online

Chapter 17: Kidding

"Why do you keep looking at me?" In the middle of eating, Aldric couldn't help but ask.

He had not seen her stare in any other direction, only continue to stare at him.

"Why?" The woman smiled as she responded.

"Isn't it natural for one to keep staring at something that is pleasant to look at."

Aldric, "..."

"I didn't know that I was pleasant to look at," he said with a wry smile.

Unexpectedly, she was really teasing him here.

Of course, this was quite a surprise to him because she used to not be the type of woman who was blatant like this when saying something.

It couldn't be said that she changed or anything like that, it was probably just self-development as she grew older. Most of those who lived in the city were like that, unlike him who lived in the village.

While stuffing a small piece of meat into her mouth, the woman said, "I think I need to take a picture of you, so I can see this fun thing more often."

Fortunately, her voice was quite low since she started talking weird or else the people around them wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

"Jenny, did you take the wrong medicine before coming here?" Aldric asked.

"Ohhh, maybe!" The woman suddenly tapped her own forehead.

"Sigh, I've been taking too much sleeping pills lately, is it affecting my brain?" She wondered with an expression that even looked serious.

Even if Aldric tended not to be very familiar with the problems in the city, he still realized that this woman was just pretending.

'This woman doesn't want me too, does she?' Aldric also wondered.

'No, I don't think so, she's a famous woman, how could she want an ordinary man like me.'

Even if they did get along in the past, the difference in their status was so great for now. He couldn't believe it.

It was likely that she just wanted to make him feel flowery.

Only, she still hadn't taken her eyes off him.

Something then made him knit his brows.

She was apparently pointing her cell phone camera at him.

It was like she was shooting a video.

"What are you doing, Jenny?" Aldric didn't like being recorded.

He quickly blocked the camera with his hand.

"Hehehe..." The woman laughed softly before putting her cell phone in her bag.

"What do you want to do with it?"

"Anything, probably."

"..."

"By the way, Aldric, living in the city is not easy, do you want to work?" The woman suddenly asked, finally looking a little serious but still more relaxed.

Speaking of working, Aldric was immediately interested because since arriving in London, he had indeed had a desire to work so that he could have some extra money.

That desire only turned into hesitation now that he already had a way to make money easily.

"What job?"

Although he thought it was better to play Magician Online, he still asked to find out.

"With you still in college, you can only get part time jobs. Those jobs are mostly waitressing or washing dishes at restaurants, but if you do those kinds of jobs, you're just wasting yourself," Jenny said.

"What do you mean?" Aldric couldn't help but ask again.

"Anyway, as a man, you have above-average good looks plus your physique is very nice and ideal. You are very suitable for modeling and you can definitely become famous. If you want, I can help you get into a modeling agency that can be famous and can boost your career. It's a relaxing job, and if you succeed, you'll make a lot of money."

Aldric did not expect that Jenny would give him an offer to become a model.

It was actually unthinkable for him.

It wasn't that he couldn't think, but a job like modeling was too foreign to him before he came to London.

When it came to celebrities, he only knew that it consisted of singers and movie players.

He only knew details about models recently because at university there were some students who worked as models.

"How is it, are you interested?" Jenny gave him a question while he was thinking.

Unfortunately, a job where he had to be seen by many people was something he didn't want.

He shook his head.

"I guessed it, you're really an introvert," Jenny said seeing him shake his head.

She wasn't surprised at all.

"I can't pose in front of cameras like that. What if they ask me to pose strangely or ask me to take a picture in just my underwear? Doesn't that happen a lot?" Aldric said, which made Jenny laugh again.

"It makes even more money and you will be favored by many women."

"That's crazy, I don't want my body to become an object of women's lust."

"But your body is like that, the kind that can increase women's lust. It's not like they will use you as an object of lust, at most, they will just fantasize about you so that they can serve their partners better."

Aldric, "..."

"You seem to have taken the wrong medicine," he said.

"Come on, can't we joke around a bit, don't we usually like to joke around."

"I'm not sure if this can be called joking."

Aldric didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

When they were children, they joked about cartoons or jokes circulating in the village, not talking about something like this.

"Anyway, we're adults, our jokes are naturally different," the woman replied, putting down the fork in her hand.

"I think I've had my fill," she added with a chuckle.

"By the way, do you live in the university dormitory?" she asked afterwards.

"Yes..." Aldric replied, feeling strange that she was asking about that.

"That's unfortunate, doesn't that mean you're at least sleeping in the same room with one guy? You know, there are a lot of contagious diseases in the dorms. How about you stay with me in my apartment, there are two empty rooms there. I rarely stay there either because my work often requires me to stay in hotels."
