Chapter 161 - Letting it all hang out
Watching the frosty beauty across from him, Ben knew he only had one thing that could get her to open up now—a Divine Line!
[Divine Line Generator(Skill, Epic) - Generates a Divine Pick Up Line once per day]
He hadn’t used it in a little while because he’d been busy with school and girls he was already dating, but it could work on Laura, because it could work on anyone!
The only problem was choosing the correct line out of the three options it gave him, but if he succeeded, it would raise her attraction level to curious! That increase might change the dynamics of this interview!
With no time to waste, within Ben’s consciousness, he activated the skill!
A blue system screen popped up in front of him.
[Divine Line Generator Activated]
[Uses remaining: 0]
[Time till refresh: 23:59:57]
[Divine Pick Up Line Generated]
[Choose one of the following]
When the system messages came out, Ben swallowed because this was the tough part. In the following three options, he needed to choose the correct one. If he judged right, it would be the key to victory. If he judged wrong, the interview would be over!
As the system wrote out the text, he focused on the options one by one.
[A: Nice legs. I’d loved to see them wrapped around me]
Ben’s eye twitched. ’Next! Next one!’
[B: You’re so hot! I would suck your dad’s d*ck just to get a taste of the recipe]
...
’The f*ck?!?’ Ben eliminated it! This was a lose-lose proposition!
It was even worse now since her father sat in the room! Ben didn’t know Paul was Laura’s dad, but he didn’t need to know!
The source of the schlong wasn’t the issue!
...
He hoped the next one would be better because he hated his options so far...
[C: As a woman, do you feel your devotion to your job is sacrificing your youth and social life?]
Ben’s eyes glinted. Although he wasn’t certain, this was the only option he could choose in this situation. If he said A or B, even if Laura liked it, the other interviewers would riot!
With time running out, Ben gazed into Laura’s eyes. "As a female, do you feel your devotion to your work is sacrificing your youth and social life?"
...
He held his breath, hoping he wouldn’t have to suck her dad’s d*ck!
...
The first one to react wasn’t Laura but the managers.
Bob squinted at this question. ’A bit risky...’
Jacob’s eyebrows elevated. ’Oh? Interesting...’
Paul’s grip tightened on his interlaced hands, making his fingers turn paler. ’Where is he going with this?’
Ben noticed all these reactions, but focused more on Laura. When she heard the question, she froze for a moment. Then, she shuffled in her chair, showing her discomfort. That question hit a nerve!
When Ben saw this, he recognized what the signs meant thanks to his Elementary Body Language Reading skill, and his heart thumped. ’Was it right?’
Laura’s gaze at him changed, becoming serious, but no longer apathetic!
[Target’s current attraction level: curious(+2)]
The other two options disappeared, leaving only C--the correct one!
He succeeded! Even though she didn’t respond yet, Ben squeezed his fist in a mini-celebration as her attraction level rose. He poked the first hole in the dam!
Ben was eager to follow up and build a hit combo... ’Should I show her my chub now?’
...
Laura was still contemplating how to answer the question. In truth, her work costing her youth and social life was her biggest concern!
She got the job because of her father, but because of their relationship and his desire to not display favoritism, he treated her even harsher than the other employees. He was so demanding that she often worked nights and weekends just to keep up! She liked the job but it took its toll, leaving her full of doubts when she came home late at night, left with only time to sleep.
Before working here, she had a large social circle of friends, dated, and was generally happy. Now, it was rare for her to be available for social gatherings so her friends stopped contacting her as much. A boyfriend? She lacked the time or energy for one. As for her happiness...she didn’t want to think about it. People didn’t hop on the career track for happiness...
In New York, it was extremely common to sacrifice one’s personal life for their career, and even pushed as an agenda by feminists, but as a woman, it created an inner conflict in Laura!
It was one she tried to avoid thinking about...
Yet, now this young man brought it up, out in the open!
The question kept ringing in her mind. ’"Do you feel your devotion to your work is sacrificing your youth and social life?"’
Laura swallowed, then she responded on instinct. "Y-yes..."
When she said that, her eyes enlarged. ’What did I say?’ She couldn’t believe she admitted it out loud! It was as if the issue was building inside of her, and broke out to the surface!
She wasn’t the only one shocked! Paul stared at his daughter with narrowed eyes! ’Is she serious?’
Watching her admission and the discomfort that followed, Ben knew it was his chance. ’I need to strike while the h.y.m.e.n’s hot...’
He leaned in toward Laura. "Is the sacrifice worth it?"
When Ben saw her gaze down at her hands in her lap and massage her upper thighs, he understood he was on the right track. Those were body language signals of doubt!
"I-I don’t know..." Laura questioned it often but didn’t have a straightforward answer.
"Was this your dream job when you were younger?" Ben kept poking holes in her sh*t...
At this question, Laura glanced at her father, as if checking for permission, but he didn’t interfere in the interview. He was also interested in her thoughts. She was never this open with him...
Laura looked back at Ben. "When I was in high school...I wanted to be a veterinarian." The dam was cracking...
"Why didn’t you pursue that?" Ben was hammer-f*cking the dam’s cracks...
"I-I didn’t think it would make my father proud..." Laura made a hesitant glance toward her father again and her hands squeezed together in nervousness. ’Why am I saying all this?’ Ben’s original question caught her so off-guard, that all her repressed issues were coming out. She could no longer keep them hidden, but to her, despite the embarrassment, it felt liberating! That was the real reason she was saying these things, deep down--she wanted to!
Laura looked at Ben, and subconsciously, she was thankful...
[Target’s current attraction level: interested(+1)]
It was like a load was lifted off her chest, and seeing this, Ben hoped to drop a new one there.
...
He spread a smirk on the corner of his lips as he considered his next move. ’Should I try to bang?’
...
He glanced at the interviewers. When he saw they were staring at him with intensity, he decided against it, certain he would get caught. ’Damn peeping Toms...’
It was probably a good thing though. Ben didn’t notice his backup brain hijacked the entire body just now...
As the interview continued, he observed Laura look over multiple times at Paul, and his tense reactions. With that, Ben started to figure out their relationship. ’Is he her sugardaddy?’
Close enough.
...
Soon, Ben decided it was wise not to break the dam here, which would bring all Laura’s issues exploding to the surface. If that happened, he wasn’t sure what Paul’s attitude would be. Besides, Ben already achieved his goal. He’d lubed her up...
Changing topics, he shifted to more usual interview topics, asking about Laura’s life at the company. Now, she was no longer standoffish. You could even say, the ice queen warmed up to him!
Uncharacteristic of her, she sometimes even dragged out answers, making everyone in the room who watched this change...totally dumbfounded!
A short while later...the interview concluded. "I have no further questions..."
...
The room was so silent, you could hear a win drop... Ben had done it!
At least...that’s what he thought, but he wasn’t the one making the hiring decision. ’Will it be enough? Will they hire me?’ He needed this job!
With anxiety in his chest, he looked at Paul...and from his reaction, Ben knew the answer...and frowned...
