"That sounds romantic and very magical," Joanna added. For some reason, she didn\'t want to let go of the necklace in her hand.

"A first date can not be complete without a special gift and flowers, and that is my special gift to you," Kayden said. He pushed out the chair at her right-hand side and sank into the black chair.

After sitting down he bent and stretched his hands into the under of the table.

"And where are the flowers…," Joanna\'s mouth dropped open when he pulled out a bouquet of roses from under the table and stretched it toward her direction.

"I was supposed to give it to you earlier but I can\'t get carried away. Sorry it came late," said Kayden as he handed the bouquet of roses to her.

Joanna collected the bouquet and sniffed the sweet fragrance it a bit before she dropped it on her legs.

"Ever since the beginning of today, I have been the one receiving things from you. I feel kinda guilty that I didn\'t give you anything…,"

"If you can give me your heart in exchange for these gifts, then it will be worth more than any gift you can ever offer me," Kayden said while looking into her eyes.

Even though it hasn\'t been up to an hour since she rejected him, Kayden the persistent guy began to see a glimmer of hope.

But seeing her scoop a side dish into her plate instead of replying to his question crushed his hope once again.

"It\'s ok if you don\'t have a response now. I will wait until you are ready to reciprocate my love," Kayden faked a smile despite that his heart and hope were crushed twice within the space of an hour.

He stretched his hand and picked up the glass of whiskey on the table.

In a mouthful, he gulped down the remaining whiskey down his throat.

Instead of drinking the blood, he brought from the refrigerator like he had wanted to, he drowned himself in alcohol.

[Am I really heartless for doing this to him after how well he has been treating me?]

Seeing how he was drinking so much, Joanna\'s resolve got swayed.

Watching him in secret, her chest tightened. She was about to open her mouth and tell him something when the notification came.

<Main Mission: Seduce and make your mate hard and say I LOVE YOU>

<Deadline: Remaining 14 days>

Joanna clutched her fist when she saw the white notification screen.

At that moment she had the urge to punch the table and ripped it into pieces.

[Joanna, you have got to calm down… Don\'t forget that all your abilities and your over six months of sleepless nights to build up these stats to where it is on the line now. Failing to accomplish this mission is equivalent to losing all]

Joanna reminded herself as she dazed at the plate of food in her hands.

She started eating in silence since he wouldn\'t talk to her.

After eating in silence for fifteen minutes Joanna couldn\'t handle the awkwardness anymore so she struck up a conversation with him.

"Did you rent the apartment from the landlady?" Joanna asked as she abandoned the food to look at his face.

"What did you say to convince her to leave here…,"

"I didn\'t rent the apartment from her but I bought the entire building…,"

"What!" Joanna remarked with widened eyes.

Kayden diverted his attention to her face when he noticed her reaction. "It was bought under your name…,"

"But why?" Joanna asked, sounding a little composed compared to earlier.

"Because my love for you is worth more than all the treasures in the world," Kayden said as he avoided looking in her direction.

She was eager to know what he was doing at the landlady\'s house earlier but now that she knows his reason for being here, she didn\'t know what to say anymore.

[Am I doing the right thing by treating him indifferently? Is using his love for me just to accomplish my mission right…]

Joanna shook her head to get the thoughts off her mind when she noticed that she was getting swayed once again.

[Using him to accomplish my mission is equivalent to saving him the troubles of always having to save me if I lose my powers so I am sure he wouldn\'t be mad at me if he later discovers the truth]

Joanna strengthened her resolve again with these few thoughts.

She lifted her hand to pick up the cutlery but only for her to let out a painful cry.

"Ouch!" Joanna shouted for the second time. She tried to reach her back but only for her to realise that her hand was dirty.

"What is it?" The alarmed Kayden jumped to his feet.

"Ouch, my back!" Joanna cried out as she hit the table.

The way she acted made the always composed Kayden panicked and confused.

"What is on your back?" Kayden asked after examining her back and seeing nothing on her.

"There is a bug on my back. Can\'t you see it," Joanna asked as she wrinkled her body repeatedly?

Kayden took another look at her bare back in case he had missed something due to panic.

He even resorted to rubbing her back when she wouldn\'t stop crying out in pain.

"Darn it, it hurts," Joanna remarked, grabbing his left hand resting on her left shoulder.

"But nothing is…,"

"Move your hand a little downwards," Joanna instructed, her flexible back moving along with her frantic body movements.

"Is it here?" Kayden asked as he brought his hand to the middle of her back.

"No. Go a bit downwards," Joanna said, not letting go of his left hand.

The worried Kayden moved his hand down just as she told him. Even though his hand was almost at the end of her clothes she still demanded him to go even further.

"Move your hands even more…,"

"But I am already at the end of the dress and I haven\'t seen anything," Kayden said, sounding a bit frustrated.

"It\'s there. You can\'t possibly be thinking that I am lying right?" Joanna questioned. She tilted her head so that she was looking at his face.
