The Incubus Who Played Me First Chapter 03
The night breeze brushed past.
I stood by the window for a while, then decisively made an international call to wake up a fast-asleep Chloe.
“Chloe, who are you trying to fool?
“You said you spent all your money buying this incubus, but he turned out to be completely defective!
“What happened to the promised 5A-grade incubus?
“He’s clearly only a 4A!
“Tell me the truth, did you actually spend the money pulling cards in a game?”
The other end of the line went quiet for a few seconds before Chloe’s furious roar erupted.
“Sarah! I spent an entire half-year’s salary on this!
“And you dare to doubt me?
“From this day forth, our friendship is over, and we shall never see each other again for all eternity…”
I counted on my fingers to calculate Chloe’s salary and instantly calmed down.
“Stop, can we apply for a refund? Hurry up and call customer service to ask, maybe there’s still time.”
“Wait, tell me clearly first, which ‘A’ is he missing exactly?”
“Tsk, which ‘A’ could it be? The most important ‘A’, of course!” I was exasperated.
“Huh? That shouldn’t be. I specifically told the shop to give me the best in that aspect…” Chloe muttered over the phone.
I took a deep breath and turned around, planning to change my posture and continue venting, only to meet Julian’s gaze.
Without me noticing, Julian was already standing right behind me.
At this moment, his eyes were red, his gaze shattered, and his face was almost entirely drained of color.
Oh my God!
He heard it all!
“Um…” I started, feeling guilty.
As luck would have it, Chloe was still yelling loudly on the phone.
“Just how bad is he?
“Can he last ten minutes?
“What about five?
“Say something, don’t tell me he can’t even last a minute?
“How is that even possible?”
I abruptly hung up on Chloe and looked at Julian.
“If I said I didn’t mean it like that, would you believe me…”
Julian’s long eyelashes fluttered. He suddenly turned around in a panic and headed for the door, tripping over the clothes on the floor halfway there.
“Wait for me, I’ll be right back, really fast.”
I didn’t have time to stop him and could only stand frozen in place, watching him run out.
“Maybe it’s for the best. At least this way, we can both calm down a bit.”
I opened a can of soda, my feelings a bit complicated.
Originally, I was very determined to return him.
But he had a face like that, and he looked at me with those red eyes.
Sigh…
Is there any possibility that ten seconds is actually pretty impressive?
I thought about it and decided to turn to the internet for help.
As soon as I typed “ten seconds” into the search bar, three words automatically popped up—
Beyond all hope.
…?
If worse comes to worst, I’ll just take Julian to the hospital!
When the time comes, I’ll definitely make Chloe pay for half the medical bills.
I gritted my teeth, filled with the tragic resolve of a martyr.
After all, I was the one who initiated the kiss; I have to take responsibility for Julian.
“Ugh—stupid mouth, why are you so greedy!”
I thought to myself in frustration, raising a hand to give myself a light slap.
A few buzzing sounds suddenly came from the clothes scattered haphazardly across the floor.
It took some effort to dig out Julian’s jacket from the pile, and then I fished his phone out of the pocket.
The newest model of a compact flip phone.
The benefits at this incubus-selling company are actually pretty good.
I didn’t think too much about it and instinctively woke the screen.
The phone didn’t have a passcode, and Julian’s chat history flashed before my eyes, catching me completely off guard.
Oliver: I think I saw you in the group photo of outstanding graduates from the incubus training class. Was that you?
Julian: No.
Oliver: Heh, keep playing dumb! Tell me the truth. Going through all this trouble, which beauty is it for this time?
Julian: None of your damn business.
Two days later.
Oliver: I saw the box being carried out from the Vances. Tsk, you really have too much time on your hands. Is tricking a little girl really that fun?
Julian: Yeah, it’s fun!
The timestamp on this reply was exactly one minute before Julian was delivered to my house.
