I started seeing a red holographic screen before me, floating. It had names of people around me. And a word "The Editor " written at the top I found a name. Sara. Clicking on her name I decided to edit the only thing I could. Her details. "I borrowed 1 million dollars from my colleague Damian three years ago. The last date to pay is nearing soon. " Obviously not believing it would have any effect. But surprisingly, Sara came to me after work and said, "Damian. I would pay you the money soon. I just need a little bit of time. " I was shocked, but still I decided to continue my play. "Three years is what you asked for. " "How about I pay you interest?" "Not interested. " "How about I pay you with my body??" That had my attention. Read the novel to know what is in the future for Damian, our MC. Want advanced chapters and other fanfics and originals?? Join my patreon.
