Here's the rundown: Tessa, now "Ivy," was an influencer raking in cash from adult streams. Me? I was probably some loyal viewer—or maybe a guy who'd shelled out big for her videos. No clue how much I'd spent, but it must've been enough to prop her up. And now, here we were, face-to-face in real life.
"What a wild mess," I said to myself, shaking my head. In all my quests so far, unless I was stuck at F-rank, the setup was never this smooth. All I had to do was rinse off and chill. Too easy.
Splash. The shower kicked on, water blasting from the hose and hitting my skin. A goofy grin spread across my face—I couldn't help it. The idea of breezing through an A-rank quest, plus getting with Tessa soon? That had me buzzing. The second part especially.
