Chapter 31: Monkey Bar.



Jack then quietly walked forward, and Helen followed him.

Jack didn't know what he did to get Helen's anger. But seeing her puffing cheeks again, Jack wanted to just pinch her cheeks.

But he stopped his intrusive thoughts because he didn't know why he always managed to anger Helen.

Jack felt like he was playing with fire; when he's with Helen, she would just get angry at anything.

While in the elevator, Helen's puffed cheek diminished a lot. Jack sighed in relief, seeing her getting normal.

Elevator was fast compared to normal elevator; it didn't take long for them to arrive on the tenth floor.

The tenth floor of the 25-hour Bikini Hotel, a four-star hotel, had a lively atmosphere around the 'Monkey Bar'.

The atmosphere on the tenth floor was amazing, as Jack didn't talk with Helen and walked one step ahead of her.

Helen seeing Jack's intention of talking was actually fuming inside. She thought, Why don't he start the conversation?

Jack, who was ahead, was not talking because he didn't want to offend the angel anymore.

Both of them remained silent as they walked around the bar. Jack noticed numerous beautiful women sitting there, some of whom even flirtatiously waved at him.

Jack smiled as he looked at them. Helen, seeing such a thing, was fuming with rage; as an Asian woman, this kind of behavior is not acceptable. Helen's thought process was simple: she was a jealous woman.

Helen tapped on Jack's shoulder from behind. Jack, who was smiling, looked back, and seeing the frowned face of Helen, which was almost red with anger, Jack's smile vanished.

"Are you usually like this?" Helen asked Jack; she was actually mad.

"W...what do you mean?" Jack stammered a little when he saw her angry face.

"I mean, look at you; you're flirting with almost everyone." Helen now stepped forward and was walking beside Jack.

" Me? " Jack pointed at himself and denied the accusations, saying, "I am not flirting."

" Heh! I don't believe you." Helen didn't believe a thing, then seeing Jack being flirted with again, she gritted her teeth, gathered courage from her entire being, and grabbed Jack's hand.

Jack was surprised but didn't let go of such a precious opportunity. He just held her hands and took her to the bar.

The bar was very beautiful; the black marble top table and veining were colored golden.

Jack and Helen sat on the bar stool, which was leather-coated and super comfortable to sit on.

Helen, sitting beside Jack, was proud of herself; she held hands for the held hands for the first time today with an opposite gender, who was also the same age as her.

Jack didn't see the smugness in Helen's face; he sat straight at the bar counter and looked around the colorful alcohol bottles.

What intrigued most to the both of them is the glasses. There were people around and sipping their cocktails, and the glasses they were having were very pretty, somewhere animal-shaped, like a tropical fruit.

This was the first time Helen went to a bar; she was looking around more than Jack; she was like a 10-year-old who just stepped into Disney Land.

"Jack...Jack," Helen called out to Jack without even looking at him; she was actually focusing on the glass a lady was sipping a cocktail from.

The glass was shaped like a rabbit; it looked cute, but Jack was like : Meh, but he tried to look more enthusiastic.

"Let's order?" Jack asked Helen.

"Alright, but I don't know what to order," Helen looked confused.

"Alright, let's ask the bartender." Jack gestured a bartender to come near.

Bartender behind the counter was wearing a black shirt with a dark apron. Bartender looked at Jack, who looked like a prince. Bartender, who was gay, smiled sweetly at Jack.

Jack, seeing the bartender smile at him, didn't mind the weird smile from the bartender; he gestured for the bartender to come near.

The bartender, after finishing the work at hand, came near Jack and Helen.

"We want to order something. We don't want alcohol," Jack smilingly said.

The bartender gave Helen a disgusted look, then smiled at Jack and said, "Sir, you can try our mocktail."

"Alright, we also want that rabbit-shaped glass," Jack demanded.

"That's from the adorable animal series. Alright, I am going to make you both a light mocktail." The bartender smiled and flirtatiously winked at Jack as he moved towards the glass section.

Jack was bewildered but didn't mind it; as he was open-minded, he wouldn't just punch a guy just because of this.

Helen, who was furious when girls flirted with Jack, was now pressing her lips together, trying her best not to laugh.

As the bartender flirted with Jack, he could hear Helen's giggling from the side.

"Hoa Lan," Jack called out Helen's real name.

Helen immediately stopped laughing and pressed her lips together and said, "Sorry, ahahaha, sorry."

"Well, it's all right, so what will you do when you go back?" Jack asked. He was curious about Vietnam.

"Farming, then marry a farmer and settle down, I guess." Helen was very casual about it.

"What about us?" Jack asked.

"What do you mean, us?" Helen was confused.

"What if I were to accompany you on a visit to your homeland?" Jack was not trying to be too pushy.

"Hmm, I can guide you around and show you stuff," Helen said. Helen was imagining she and Jack touring around Vietnam.

"Sir, please enjoy these two light mocktails." The bartender arrived with two exquisite drinks, presented in a rabbit-shaped glass.

Helen was fascinated by the glass and the blue-colored drink inside; she has never been to such a high-class establishment before, and as a receptionist, she rarely gets the opportunity to go with the ambassador.

Jack, upon seeing her glowing eyes, thought she looked extremely cute. Helen was not drinking the mocktail; she was just observing the blue drink.

Jack tasted the drink; it was refreshing; there were many types of flavors in it; his eyes were fixed on Helen.

Helen was like a baby, curious and happy even if you showed her something cute.

Jack unconsciously patted her head. Helen looked at Jack, then smiled at him. Jack's heart just melted seeing her smile.

"Drink it. It's good. I'll order more if you like to look at it that much," Jack said to Helen.

Helen looked at the rabbit glass and, hearing Jack's voice, was still reluctant to drink it. Then she gestured for Jack to come closer, and she also leaned forward.

"Jack, I don't have that much money; I can maybe only afford this one drink," Helen whispered to Jack.

Jack looked at her, then laughed a little and said, "Why are you worried about money? I am paying, of course."

"That's not good. Why would you pay my share?" Helen looked confusedly at Jack.

"Trust me when I say this, but I've got a lot of money, and buying a drink for such a pretty girl would be my pleasure," Jack smilingly said.

"Well, if you insist," Helen didn't mind; she actually likes Jack anyway.

Helen then sipped the drink a little; her eyes glowed as she tasted the refreshing drink.

Jack, looking at her, smiled, and then in his mind he said, 'System.'

[One breath = 2€]

[Level 2: use 10,000.00€ to level up]

[Balance: 60,000€]

'Not bad,' Jack smiled, looking at the glassy panel in front of him.

"Bartender," Jack called out to the bartender, who was busy serving others. Seeing Jack call him, the bartender smiled and nodded his head.

It took approximately two minutes for the bartender to approach Jack.

In these two minutes, Helen couldn't stop herself from drinking the whole thing.

"I want this drink more, 4 more, then are there any special non-alcoholic drinks?" Jack asked.

"Well, the drink I gave you already is in our special segment, but there's one more, far more expensive," the bartender winked again.

"No problem, first serve us 4 of these, then we'll drink that special, expensive drink," Jack smiled and said. He got used to the winking bartender.

Soon, 4 glasses of blue drinks were served. This time, Helen no longer paid much attention to the drink; instead, she was captivated by its flavor.

Then came a double-colored drink; the bottom of the drink was orange and the top was red.

Looking at the drink, which came in a parrot-shaped glass, Helen was eager to try and taste it.

Jack was also looking forward to it; both of them took a sip. It was sweet and mellow—not that refreshing, but it was a taste that you'll just want to drink more and more of.

After taking the first sip, they both looked at each other with the same expression in their eyes: "Order more."

Jack ordered 4 more, and after drinking so much, they felt full. Helen's tummy, which was flat as a board, was swollen a little.

Jack was also very full; he wanted to go to take a piss, so when he excused himself to go to the toilet, Helen also stood up and went to the toilet.
