In his daily life, Trevor quite often deactivates the navigator watch. It happened when he needed to focus on real life or was too tired from doing a mission.
Even so, sometimes missions still appear even when he is not in play mode. Since getting involved in the BE KIND TO GET RICH system, he always felt like many people around him needed his help.
Trevor sometimes will take the time to help. Then when he turned the watch back on, he would automatically get notifications about receiving rewards for his good deeds.
It happened today. On the way to the restaurant where he had dinner with Melanie Victor, he saw a bunch of teenagers ganging up on their friend. He decided to take the time to come down and help.
It took enough time to oust the perpetrators and secure the victim. So when it finished, he just remembered that he was a little late for the meet-up. Not to mention his clothes were a little dirty because of that.
"I am sorry, Mel. I really didn't mean to make you wait. Something unexpected happened on the way," the man said in regret to the woman.
Melanie Victor looked a little angry. She was sullen and did not look as friendly as usual.
"I am the one who wants to thank you through this meeting. So I have no right to be angry." Her facial expression was serious while saying that. "Sit down, Trev. We need to order now because I am hungry."
Trevor took his seat awkwardly. "You don't need to talk like that, Mel. I was wrong and I regret it. Sorry to keep you waiting."
It was then that Melanie finally smiled at him. "All right. Forget it. We better have some dinner first."
"Thanks."
Luckily the mood got better with time. Trevor did try hard to make her not angry anymore by giving silly jokes. So gradually, the woman finally forgave him.
"But I am really grateful to you, Trev. You saved my life. I don't know what would have happened if I lost all the data in my notebook," Melanie said as she sliced the steak on the table.
"Is it that bad? Why? Do you have a bad boss or something?" Trevor chuckled.
"You guessed it right. My boss is literally the worst in the world. I am not kidding. Just for you know, that one small mistake will make me suffer." Melanie grumbled in disgust. "He is a toxic boss type. No wonder almost no one likes being his secretary. I heard before me, for this year alone, he has changed it 7 times already."
"Really? That bad?" Trevor raised his eyebrows. "But you still want to work there even after knowing all of that and putting up with the bad treatment from him?"
"Of course, there is only one reason -- the salary is simply huge. The amount is ten times that of equivalent positions in other companies. After all, having a boss like that is also a challenge for me. I want to prove that I am not the same as his ex-secretaries who gave up easily. Well, I survived until now."
Trevor nodded as he kept hearing her story while eating.
"Everything was going well during these five months, until yesterday it almost ended because of that ugly laptop. But luckily you saved me, Trev," said the woman with a big smile at him.
Trevor smiled back at her. "That's because you are amazing yourself, Mel. I did nothing."
Melanie suddenly stopped eating. She put down her fork and knife. She stared deeply into Trevor's eyes.
"This is me, Trev. I am a woman who always honest and clear about whatever I do, whether it's work or my daily life. It also happens when I like someone." The woman moved one of her hands to touch Trevor's hand which was still holding the wine glass. That made Trevor freeze instantly. "Trevor, do you have a girlfriend?"
Trevor looked a little confused to answer. Even though he did not have one anymore, he felt that his relationship with Anne had not completely ended. They might meet again. He also still liked her.
However, how to put it, he admitted that he was also starting to be attracted to Melanie. A woman full of confidence like her was so attractive in his eyes.
"About that--"
"I am asking about a formal relationship, Trev. I don't want to know if you have feelings for another woman who isn't yours yet or if you have an unfinished past. What makes me curious is that you are right at this moment. This night." Melanie smirked seductively.
"I, um, I mean, no," Trevor answered with an awkward giggle.
"Good then." Her caress on his hand softened. "Because I don't have anyone either -- at this moment. I would be very pleased if you would stay with me tonight."

Just as the door opened, the two adults kissed each other again. They moved carelessly; taking off their shoes haphazardly, throwing bags and car keys aimlessly, while unbuttoning each other's clothes impatiently. In the end, they finally end up on the couch.
"Wow, Trevor Scott. You surprised me. Not only do you have an super expensive car, you also have a nice apartment. I didn't know you are not just hot but also rich," Melanie said a moment after the kiss. She looked around the room as she sat on the man's lap.
He got another compliment that boosted his ego. Moreover, it happened at a time like this, issued by a woman who was about to spend a passionate night with him. This was something he had always desired.
"Yes. I don't really show it, but I am rich, Mel. I will be even richer in the future," he said while stroking the woman's hair.
"Really? It's a good thing..." Melanie wrapped her arms around his neck. She pulled him closer. "Because I really like rich men, especially rich men who are hot like you."
Their lips were eating each other again after that. They started undressing themselves and kept kissing passionately while moving into the bedroom. Their sinful voices echoed throughout the room in the luxury apartment unit.
'Finally, after a month, I am going to turn on my automatic shutdown function. I am out for now, sir. See you tomorrow morning, when you are ready to get back to the game."
[Automatic shutdown function ON.]
He heard AI T's voice in his head for the last time, before it was falling into complete silence. For the next few hours, all that would be heard in his ears was Melanie Victor's sexy voice.
Until the morning comes.
