[Toxins Detected: Initiating Detoxification Process]
As David took a sip of his beer, system messages kept popping up, indicating the presence of toxins.
However, thanks to the system's enhancements to his body, he remained unaffected by the alcohol's intoxicating effects. His body swiftly initiated detoxifying processes to neutralize any potential harm.
While the others enjoyed their time and the buzz from their drinks, David sat at the end of the table, observing the lively atmosphere.
Jessica sat beside him, engaged in conversation with others, while Tanya persisted in her attempts to capture David's attention.
Despite the tempting advances, David maintained his composure, politely responding to Tanya's remarks and maintaining a friendly demeanor. He focused on enjoying the company of his friends and the vibrant ambiance of the rooftop restaurant.
Tanya's frustration simmered as she observed David engrossed in conversation with Jessica. Despite Tanya's position as the lead model and her undeniable beauty, David seemed oblivious to her presence.
Determination welled up within her, igniting a desire to capture his attention.
David's gaze remained fixed on Jessica, unaware of Tanya's growing discontent. Deep down, he longed wanted to have Sex with Tanya and bone her properly, desiring her inclusion in his Harem collection.
However, the lack of prompts and scenarios from the system left him feeling uncertain about how to proceed. He wondered why there were no updates yet.
David's reluctance to take risks in his social interactions was palpable. He had grown overly dependent on the system's prompts, lacking the confidence to engage with others on his own. His past experiences left him with limited skills in conversing with girls, amplifying his apprehension.
Jessica, on the other hand, was a different story. Having already added her to his harem collection, David felt a level of comfort in conversing with her.
Their 100 relation points provided a safety net, allowing him to engage with her without fear of consequences.
Unbeknownst to David, Tanya noticed his continued focus on Jessica. Fueled by the effects of alcohol, she summoned the courage to make her move.
Drawing closer to David, she reached out and gently took hold of his hand, her boobs inadvertently brushing against him as she leaned in.
As Tanya leaned in too closely, David felt the discomfort rising within him. Aware of the glances from others around them, he attempted to loosen her grip, hoping to create some distance. But Tanya's hold tightened, and she began to speak, her voice filled with frustration.
"Tanya," David said, his voice tinged with caution. "You know I have boundaries. I can't be involved in any complications."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTanya ignored his words and began to share her story instead. "David, do you know I have a boyfriend?" Tanya continued, "He's so mean. He goes to parties with other female coworkers and never invites me."
As she attempted to lean against David again, she added, "It's driving me crazy with jealousy."
"Why the hell you are telling me this?" David asked frustrated with the current situation.
David listened, conflicted by Tanya's words. Before he could respond, she surprised him by leaning in and kissing him on the lips. Startled, David pushed her away, his voice laced with both confusion and anger.
"What the fuck, Tanya?" he exclaimed, his voice loud enough for nearby diners to turn their heads. "What are you doing?"
Tanya, still fueled by alcohol and her desire to evoke jealousy, persisted. "David, let's take a picture together. We can go to the same Love Hotel that you went to yesterday with Jessica, It will make my boyfriend realize what he's missing."
David's frustration grew, and he made his boundaries clear. "Tanya, I'm not interested in being a pawn in your game," he stated firmly.
"If you want to make your boyfriend jealous, find another way. I won't be part of it," David continued, his tone resolute. He wanted to assert himself and ensure she understood his stance.
David firmly pushed Tanya away, breaking free from her strong grip. The onlookers' eyes fixated on the unfolding scene, capturing their reaction to the sudden turn of events. Sensing the tension, Tanya swiftly grabbed her purse and made a hasty exit from the restaurant.
"Sorry everyone for the scene," David's voice trembled with remorse as he sought forgiveness from those around the table.
Meanwhile, David's mind churned with contemplation. He began to connect the dots, understanding why the system hadn't presented any prompts or quests related to Tanya since she introduced herself.
If there was someone else, with the help of the system, He would have already had Sex and added it to her collection by now, David pondered over the thought of what just happened.
As the night drew to a close, the dramatic turn of events lingered in David's thoughts. He realized that his dependence on the system had hindered his ability to navigate real-life relationships.
