The notification sound prompted me to turn my head up to look at her head.
"....." I silently stood there, staring at the panel for a few moments before heaving out a tired sigh. "We won't do it here. Although I don't clearly remember what I've promised to you, I'll still make sure to fulfill it. So there's no need to worry. I'm not going to run away."
Without eyeing down to her face-to-face, I gently grabbed both of her hands and removed them from my clothes. "I-I better get going. I'll head out of the bathroom so that you can do whatever you want like take a shower or something, without worrying that I'll try and do something to you." Saying this, I went out the bathroom while trying my hardest to get out without committing a crime.
When I'm finally out, I began looking around the place.
Since I'm already done checking out my room, I went out to go to the spacious living room. It was big, more modern and advance than my room back in my previous life.
Soon after I'm done checking the living room, I began looking around the kitchen. Like in the living room, there are few patterns and designs placed in the walls. Instead of making the kitchen turned ugly, the patterns made the kitchen look more advanced. Not just that, the appliances here, too, are advanced.
I didn't know why, but I'm kind of feeling a little bit envious after seeing the whole place.

A few minutes after Athan left the bathroom, he looked around the room. Thus, eventually, he decided to open the window to get a proper look outside.
"What in the..." His eyes widened in surprise from what he saw. Huge buildings, streets, cars, and many more! This city was more futuristic than his previous life.
In amidst of his surprise, the door of the bathroom opened as the girl from earlier got out.
"I'm... done bathing." She said, without looking at him in the eyes.
Athan nodded hearing this. Soon after, he took the towel from the table excitedly and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
*Shhhh-*
Taking a step forward to the shower and turning on the shower by halve, water soon dropping towards his body.
Taking a shampoo that was resting to the right side of the shower room, Athan began to wash his hair.
"Hmm... This thing doesn't seem to need magic stones or mana to work. Does it perhaps work similar from my previous life." He unexpectedly got excited. Even though he's not the type of person to get interested over these kinds of thing, but after he got reincarnated, he changed.
Even one simple tool that works according to science makes him excited. To get transported into his memories that was more modern than his previous life is like a dream come true for the current him.
"Gosh, I miss these kind of thing," He said to himself.
After a couple of minutes, taking out the towel on the right side that was hanging in the room, Athan exited the shower.
Tying the towel onto his waist, droplets of water trickled down to his body.
Walking out of the bathroom, he truffled his hair and changed onto his comfortable clothes that was hanging beside the towel earlier.
Soon after he finishes putting it on, Athan walked out of the room. There, he saw the girl, sitting silently on an expensive couch.
"I'm here." He closed the door to his room without turning around, and walked towards her before taking the seat onto the couch in front of her.
"Let's get back to business."
"Yes."
...
....
.....
"Let me get this straight. So, you're saying that you wanted me to help the business that your father made before he died, and take care of the huge amount of debt he has in some shady loan shark?" Covering my face with my hands, I continued, "That's going to be a tough job, you know?"
Hearing me say this, she anxiously nodded. She avoided making an eye-to-eye contact with me by turning her head down.
"Hmm... Okay, then." Placing my hands on the table, I sighed. "Can you give me some details and information about your father's assets, business partners, brokers, lawyers, accountants, and if he had some people who handles the real estate, you can include them." I spoke. These information is crucial. If his father was working with some pesky snake, I'll just have to get rid of them now.
"...Assets? You mean my house?" She tilted her head to the side in confusion.

Sighing deeply, I spoke, "Your house is not an asset, it is an liability. It will remain as your liability until you turn it an asset. To explain things more easily, 'Assets' is the one giving money 'in' to your pockets, while the 'Liabilities' are the ones that was taking the money 'out' of your pockets."
When she heard my explanation, she nodded.
She was about to take her phone on the table when I called out to her.
"Hey... What's your name?"
"My name?" She tilted her head in confusion. "Don't you remember it?"
"No... I don't know." I answered truthfully.
Blinking a few times, she nodded. "Eleanor... Eleanor Roosevelt."
Quickly after she answered my question, she made a call from her phone and left me alone in the room.

After receiving the notifications, I nodded my head deeply.
"Now, then... Time for work." Saying this, I stood up from the couch, stretched my stiff body before heading back to 'my' room, or the room of the person's body I'm current in, to open the computer that was on the corner of the room.
Soon after I sat down to the chair, I opened the computer while hoping that this person is lazy enough to not change the password and dumb, too, that he can't even remember the password and has the password written in a sticky note that was up on his computer.
Well, it seems that my luck was by my side today. This person didn't actually changed his password for such a long time... Actually, it seems to me that he just bought this computer not too long ago after noticing that it looked quite brand-new.
"This fuck..." Opening Coogle, my jaw opened widely in surprised, all while staring at the browsing history in disgusted.
Taking the empty trashcan, I just vomited after seeing it.
Take note, it was still just his browsing history. I didn't even try to open even one of them. It look like this guy has some extreme fetish... No, it was more than extreme. Even I was frightened just by looking at it.
"This guy seriously need to see a therapy..."
Although I'm not the type of person to say this often, I totally, seriously(!) meant what I said right now.
"Fuck... now I, too, need a therapy." I cursed, clicking the button that popped out and deleted all of his browsing history, downloaded files, and many more. Literally everything!
After restarting the computer, I took a long deep breath to calm all my nerves down.
When the computer was finally up, I once again opened Coogle and began searching for informations about this world, Eleanor's family, and most importantly, about this 'asshole'.
While searching I noticed the date today. "Today's June 6, 3632..." I said to myself.
Well... Can't see why that's important. I shook my head as I continued on searching for more informations.
Few hours zipped by. It was finally night. I finally finished searching for information about the owner of this body. I found out that this person full name was Lucius Granhart. He was the second son of the owner of the infamous Grandelvil Company, Robin Granhart. His mother died when he was still a child, so his father took care of him. Typically, he was a spoiled child like his big brother and had a shit-like personality. Though, Lucius wasn't actually always like this. After some deep research, I was somehow able to find some videos of his brother beating him half-death. The video was old. I accidentally found this video out from the black market online. His big brother probably paid huge amount of money just to not make the videos public. He was probably worried that his name would get tainted after the video got out, which will surely happen, and threatened Lucius to not say anything about their father.
Anyway, because of Zander Granhart, his big brother, Lucius developed a trait, where he enjoys seeing other people suffer. Everytime he see someone get beaten up, raped, harassed, and many more, his trait will take over and... It's not worth mentioning.
"Huaa...." I stretched my arms as I stood up.
After I was done with everything, I decided to head back to my room to sleep.
Without noticing it, a new notification popped out while I was asleep.
