Chapter 10 A Pervert, First Ultimate Choice.
Chapter 10 A Pervert, First Ultimate Choice.
Parker Black strolled up to the reception desk, ready to check into his penthouse, at the reception table, there were a few people there, but Parker barely payed any attention to them, he stood there waiting for the receptionist to finish the lady she was working on. Meanwhile, he looked through his phone scrolling through the things that would give him the first rebate rewards, he was holding his anticipation for what was coming next after the waited checking into the penthouse for the first time in his life and using the Aphrodite Elixir!
The receptionist finished flashing a little smile to Parker to come forward, when out of nowhere, a girl nearby screamed at the top of her lungs, "You pervert!" Before he could process what was happening, she slapped him across the cheek with enough force to leave a red mark.
Not just his cheek, but his ears hurt too from her shout. Out of surprise his phone dropped down clacking even further.
The entire lobby froze. Wealthy guests, who normally wouldn't care about such a commotion, stared at him like he'd just admitted to robbing a candy store. Confused, Parker glanced down and saw the problem—her butt had been pressing against his crotch.
"Are you out of your damn mind?" the girl yelled, her voice loud enough to wake the dead.
She pointed an accusing finger at him as if he'd committed a federal crime. "Do you go around rubbing yourself on every girl you see?"
Parker opened his mouth to explain, but before he could, she raised her hand to slap him again.
And then...
[Ding!
The system's voice chimed in like his favourite TV program.

...Parker caught her hand in a firm grip. She yanked at it, trying to break free, but there was no chance. Despite his frail build, Parker Black was deceptively strong—stronger than most girls his age, and this one was no exception.
"Option 1," he muttered under his breath, committing to the choice as he pushed her hand away.
Her arm swung back sharply, almost colliding with the reception desk.
Her eyes widened in shock, and for a fleeting moment, narrowed into suspicion.
The contrast was striking, like she couldn't decide if she should be angry or impressed.
The bystanders, though, were quick to pick their side.
Parker's lips curled into a dangerous smile, an edge of cold amusement playing on his face.
"You might be some kind of masochist," he began, his voice low but sharp enough to cut through the tension, causing a blusg on her cheeks, "someone who finds pleasure in pain... or maybe you're a hidden pervert who enjoys public humiliation..."
The entire lobby gasped as Parker leaned in further, his hand darting up to tilt her chin. His fingers didn't tremble, and his audacity was unmistakable.
"...But I am not like you, lady."
His words hung in the air, heavy and unyielding, silencing the murmurs of the crowd. Parker's piercing gaze met hers, and for a moment, neither moved.
Then he released her chin abruptly, enough for her to stagger slightly but not enough for anyone to see it as more than a dramatic flair.
[+5 affection points from Tessa Wilder!]
Parker scoffed internally, muttering, 'This pervert.'
Stepping back from Tessa's space, he turned his attention to the stunned receptionist.
Unlike the rest of the crowd, she hadn't joined the chorus of murmurs. Her wide-eyed expression suggested she'd seen everything that had just happened—too fast to process, too bold to interrupt.
"Get us the CCTV footage," Parker commanded, his tone sharp and leaving no room for argument. His voice carried an air of authority, crisp and cool, making it clear this wasn't a request.
The receptionist flinched slightly, then scrambled to comply.
[+2 affection points from Tessa Wilder!]
[+5 affection points from Vanessa!]
Parker frowned slightly as he caught the system notification. 'What's with women these days?' he thought in exasperation.
'One seemed to have a thing for public humiliation and she's a masochist, and now the receptionist—Vanessa—seemed to enjoy being ordered around?'
His mind briefly lingered on Vanessa's flushed expression before brushing it off.
'Vanessa, huh?' he noted silently. 'I'll remember your name.'
She was already rushing off to retrieve the footage, leaving the rest of the crowd frozen in stunned silence.
"Right here," the Front Office Manager, this sharp-dressed guy in a crisp blue suit, pointed to the screen. His voice was all business. "You can see it clearly—Ms. Tessa Wilder..." He paused for dramatic effect as if Tessa needed reminding of what she'd already seen. She bit her lip, her face heating up like a neon sign.
Parker's eyes flashed a dangerous glint. It was time to deliver his wrath.
