Chapter 5 - 5. Temptation

"Sir, did you like the house?" Stella, the beautiful lady assistant, asked Kent after giving him a brief tour of the place. As the manager, Rosie had instructed her to take good care of Kent, so Stella was being especially attentive. She even undid the top collar button of her blouse to catch Kent's eyes.

Kent was really impressed by the place. As the name suggests, the entire structure was shaped like a giant pearl, suspended from above with the help of magic inscriptions. Inside, everything was neat and polished with a touch of luxury. There is a separate pet space that could accommodate more than four large pets at once. 

"Yeah… I really liked everything. When can I move in?" Kent asked with a satisfied smile.

"I will prepare the property document papers by tomorrow and call you for a signature. However, I suggest giving us two days to fully decorate the house and furnish it," Stella replied with a charming smile as she led him from one room to the other.

"This means that I need to stay outside for two more days. I can spend these two days at Angel Plaza. I heard they have a good meditation chamber and a private spa," Kent thought, planning what he had to do in the next two days. 

"Sir, is that okay for you?" Stella asked again as she opened the bedroom door to show the special features. (Of Room, not what you think.) 

"Yeah… Yeah, here is my ORB. Please add your contact information," Kent said while passing a brand new Sky Orb gifted by his aunt. 

'Wah…' Stella's mouth dropped wide open at the sight of the smooth orb with advanced features. Until now, she had doubts about Kent thinking that he was buying the house for someone else. But after seeing the orb, her fingers trembled in excitement. 

She immediately connected the two orbs together, and in the second, their contact information was exchanged. With more enthusiasm, she showed Kent the bedroom, highlighting the Pure Aura feature of the room, and an advanced spa bath. The training room, which is designed for combat training, was also attached to the main bedroom.

"Sir, if you don't mind, your clothes seem a little dirty. Why don't you take a bath?" Stella suggested meekly with a submissive gesture, her cheeks reddening with shyness.

Although her colleagues often talked about sharing rooms with wealthy customers, Stella had never been in such a situation. But she thought that today was the day of her submission.

"Oh, about that, I don't have another pair of clothes," Kent replied with an awkward smile. 

"That's not a problem, sir. Hanging Pearl Palace has an advanced feature for cleaning your clothes. A special inscription cleans your clothes in five minutes. Why don't you try it?" Stella suggested hurriedly without a second thought. 

"That's really helpful. But…" Kent stuttered as he tried to point out her presence. However, Stella didn't want to lose this opportunity. She would receive a 5% commission if this transaction was completed. This one commission would be then equivalent to a year's salary. That's why Stella did not hesitate to grab the chance before her.

"Sir, you don't need to worry. This place is completely safe. I will prepare the bathtub for you. Please change into a bath towel," Stella replied as she opened the washroom's mosaic glass doors and began filling the marble tub with water, skillfully adding different fragrances and a milk potion, which helps smooth the skin. 

Despite feeling somewhat awkward, Kent removed his dirty clothes and wrapped a bath towel around his waist. 

"Mr. Kent, please come in," Stella called out with a smile, though it looked a bit different to Kent, who stood before the bathtub, which is the size of his classroom.

Stella's heart was trembling with anticipation as she imagined what was going to happen next. Meanwhile, she also loosened her robes, imagining the next sequence of events.

After a prolonged silence, Kent finally opened his mouth as Stella stood there motionless. "Ms. Stella, thank you for your service. Why don't you wait outside? As a girl, it should be uncomfortable for you." Kent smiled innocently, unaware of her thoughts.

"Sir, please don't mind me. I'm here to guide you on how to use the features of this spa unit." Stella smiled awkwardly, still standing nervously, wondering why Kent was not pulling her into the bathtub or asking her to wash his back.

"Ohh…" Kent sighed in despair and stepped into the spa unit without removing the towel around his waist. 

After submerging himself in a milky white solution and feeling that his little brother was secure from anyone's gaze, Kent finally removed the towel. Stella approached the bathtub, explaining one feature at a time while pointing at different outlets placed at the head of the spa tub.

"Also, Mr. Kent, after washing your body in the first milky white solution, you need to open this outlet and release half of the solution. After draining, you need to push this button, which will add hot water to relax your muscles," Stella explained as she opened the outlet to drain the milky-white solution. 

Since Stella's robes were a little loose, every time she bent down to point out the spa feature, they would reveal glimpses of her snow-white breast would be pushed out, attracting Kent's gaze. His little brother had already raised a red flag. Kent swallowed hard, trying to avoid looking at her mountains. 

But on the other hand, Stella was getting impatient. She got all prepared to jump in with Kent whenever he gave a small hint, but he was acting all innocent and avoiding her with a little nod. 

Impatiently, she opened the water outlet to drain more water, hoping to create a scenario where Kent's pet could meet its slot.

Kent's heart raced as he stared at the draining water, which was leaving at great speed. Stella bent down more to take a closer look at things, but Kent lowered himself into the water with an awkward gaze. 

"Miss, you should stop the drainage; more than half the water has left the tub," Kent said meekly, trying to avoid staring at her snow-white, perky mounts. 

After letting out a disappointed sigh, Stella stopped the outlet and clicked on the hot water inlet. She finally understood that Kent didn't have any thought of doing anything intimate with her. 

"Sir, please push this button after you finish the bath. Fresh towels were in this compartment. I will go and clean your clothes in the meantime. I hope you like these spa facilities," Stella said, her tone neutral and left the room before Kent could say anything.

As she closed the glass door, tears welled up in Stella's eyes. "It seems like he isn't interested in me. I should try harder next time," Stella affirmed, picking up Kent's clothes.

Kent quickly finished his bath, keeping his little brother in check to not let poke its head out. By the time he came out, Stella had already placed his clothes on the bed and stood outside. 

Within five minutes, Kent and Stella exited out of the Hanging Pearl Palace. Kent paid the remaining 1,500 gold as promised. But Stella didn't smile like before. She just thanked Kent and handed the master key to him. 

"Mr. Kent, I'll personally prepare the property documents in two days. Do you want to go anywhere now? I can drop you," Stella asked humbly as they approached the Fire Raka beast. 

"Oh, that's really helpful. Can you take me to a pet store?" Kent asked, remembering that he didn't have any pets to freely travel from one place to another.
