Making A Strategy

I leaned back in my chair, tapping my fingers against the desk.

My approach had to be different. If I simply walked up to Hailey right now and blurted out, "Leave your boyfriend and be with me," I would fail instantly. That much was obvious.

I needed a plan. Something smarter. Something foolproof.

Swish—

I pushed back my chair and stood up.

I had to step out of the office and think things through. Besides, I still had the quest item—Hailey's boyfriend's phone.

"If I hadn't chosen this item, I'd be doomed," I muttered under my breath.

It had cost me a ridiculous amount—Six thousand points in-game currency. An absurd price for something as simple as a phone. But now that the quest had officially started, I could already tell—without it, I would've been in serious trouble.

I slipped the phone into my pocket and left the office.

"Ah, good morning, sir~" A cheerful voice called out.
