Chapter 4: The Variance

"I don't know you. Who are you?"

"Hi, Talia. You can call me Miranda.” The girl smiled with a very monstrous face, “Oh my god! You are so pretty."

"I... Thank you."

Talia turned to look at Daniel with a pleading look, but he was nowhere to be found. This man is really like a ghost, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

"Don't be scared! Come on. Follow me!"

After saying that, the girl turned around and walked away.

Talia felt afraid. She did not know what was going on. But she knew that she had to follow them. So she tried to run after them, but she was too slow.

Unexpectedly, the deeper she went inside, the more beautiful scenery appeared. This is not a park. Turns out, this is the road leading to an old restaurant.

Talia saw the restaurant and started to run towards it.

"You are here. Please come inside." Miranda said.

"Wait! Where is he?"

When Talia asked where Daniel was, the girl only smiled and said that he was waiting for her inside.

"How about you?"

"I am not allowed. Please come inside."

Talia was so confused. She did not know what to do. Finally, she decided to go inside the restaurant.

When she entered the restaurant, she saw that it was very cozy and romantic. There were candles on the table, and the smell of food made her stomach growl.

"Do you want Western or Asian food?"

"Hmm... Asian."

"Okay."

"Where did you go? And the girl named Miranda. Oh my god! But why be so mysterious? I was so scared."

"Well, you should be used to that."

The waiter came quickly. Daniel chose the dishes for both of them.

When the waiter put the last dish on the table, Talia quickly picked up the fork and ate it.

Sitting opposite her, Daniel saw this situation and couldn't help but frown.

"Why do you eat so fast? Talia, how many days have you not eaten? You look like a hungry demon. Slow down!"

"I woke up with a bit of a stomach ache in the morning, so I didn't have breakfast. It was almost the day of the test, so I spent the whole afternoon in the library studying. I didn't have time to eat."

It seems that filling her stomach is more important than questioning him.

"Who sees you now will think that I treated you badly."

Talia didn't say anything more. She still tried to stuff food into her mouth.

"Eat slowly! Be careful!"

"Don't mind me!"

Seeing that Talia's mouth was dirty, Daniel handed her a towel.

After eating, Daniel and Talia sat in silence.

"Talia, I know that you're angry with me, but please understand. I can't just come home and spend the whole day with you. I work too hard."

Talia was so surprised that she stopped eating.

"What did you say?"

Just now, he also said that she had no right to interfere in his affairs. After all, she is nothing more than a toy, she is something he bought with money. She really has no right. But... Why did he explain it to her again?

“Nothing.”

“Okay! Thank you for dinner.”

After that, Daniel immediately took Talia to the hospital to visit her mom.

There for a while, Talia told the nurse to take care of her mom, and then she left. When she went out, Daniel was still waiting there.

On the way home.

As they sat in the car, Talia asked him about Miranda. But he didn't say a word.

Her heart was filled with worries about a girl named Marinda. But he didn't tell her who Marinda was.

In fact, she wouldn't have paid any attention to him if she hadn't owed him a large sum of money. What she was afraid of was not that he would have another woman, she was afraid that he would get his money back if their relationship ended.

As soon as he got home, Daniel quickly entered the bathroom. After relieving himself, Daniel turned on the shower and got in.

As the hot water cascaded over him, Daniel thought about the day. He had just finished his big project and now it was time for the big party.

His body is extremely strong. Tanned skin, firm shoulders. He's got a huge thing that satisfies uncountless women.

Why would this perfect man ask Talia to be his woman? This is really confusing. He can have any woman he wants. After all, what does he really want from her? Friendship? He doesn't need that. He's got plenty of those.

Talia is sweet, and she is very smart. Plus, she's really pretty. But what's the point? There are thousands of women like her, even better than her.

Suddenly, Daniel's mind was filled with images of Talia naked. Her perfect body, all soft and curvy. Her beautiful brown eyes, staring up at him with trust and thanks. He could feel himself getting hard, and he quickly turned off the shower.

As soon as we arrived home, Daniel swiftly made his way to the bathroom, seeking a moment of solitude. After attending to his immediate needs, he turned on the shower, the warm water enveloping him in its embrace.

As the droplets cascaded over his sculpted form, Daniel's mind drifted back to the events of the day. The completion of his ambitious project had culminated in a grand celebration—a lavish party awaited him.

His physique was a testament to his dedication, his tanned skin and well-defined shoulders exuding strength. He possessed an undeniable magnetism, a presence that captivated countless women.

The questions lingered in my thoughts: why did this seemingly perfect man choose me to be his partner? It was a puzzle that left me bewildered, for he could have anyone he desired. What was it that he truly sought from our relationship? Friendship? He had no shortage of companions. What was the purpose? After all, there were countless women like me, perhaps even better.

...

As Daniel emerged from the bathroom, his chiseled physique accentuated by the towel wrapped around his waist, a flush of embarrassment stained my cheeks. He must have noticed the change in my demeanor, for he inquired about my well-being.

"Nothing," I hurriedly responded, attempting to dismiss my scattered thoughts. "I was simply lost in my own musings."

"Well, let's talk about it," he encouraged, drawing nearer to envelop me in a comforting embrace. "Share your worries with me. Anything that troubles you, let me know."

Daniel remained an enigma, like the grandest iceberg that revealed only its surface while concealing a submerged depth. He exuded an aura of coldness and captivating mystery, at times distant and unapproachable. Yet, on occasion, he would soften, transforming me into a penguin, unable to escape the captivating allure of his presence.

I struggled to find the right words, torn between my fears about our relationship and the weight of my debt. I hesitated, afraid that voicing these concerns would evoke his anger. Nevertheless, the image of Miranda continued to occupy my thoughts.

"I'm sorry," I finally uttered, a hint of vulnerability in my voice. "I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Could we discuss something else?"

"How is your mother doing?" Daniel redirected the conversation, his gaze fixated on my visage, his fingers tenderly weaving through my hair. In that moment, his touch and the intensity of his gaze ignited a fire within me.

"She's doing well," I replied, my voice tinged with warmth. "My mother is in good health."

"Great!" he exclaimed, his gaze lingering on my lips, a subtle desire evident in his actions. Slowly, he caressed my lips, a gentle exploration that set my heart ablaze. Succumbing to the moment, I parted my lips, inviting him closer, surrendering to the magnetic pull between us.

We kissed, deeply and passionately. Daniel's deep voice, sinewy hands, and super sexy body make me feel like I want to melt. His skill is very well. He brought my feelings to a climax. My body felt electric, and I could feel my panties getting wet. Finally, we broke apart, gasping for air.

"Wow," Daniel said, "I didn't expect that."

I was trembling. I didn't know what to say. I was overwhelmed with feelings. Was I really going to be with Daniel? Was this actually happening?

"Thank you, Daniel. For everything," I finally said. "This was really incredible for me. I'm not sure what I would have done if you hadn't shown up."

This is really different. I have never felt like this before. I am happy and excited, and I doesn't want the kiss to end. But at the same time, I am also worried about what Daniel will think about my debt. I was conflicted.

But then...

"Talia, take your clothes off!"
