System at One End and Harem at the Other End

Chapter 27 [Bonus ] New Skill: Status Analyzer

?Late into the night, the system message once again appeared, but David's exhaustion consumed him, and he succumbed to sleep beside Jessica.

When the morning light permeated the room, he gradually awakened to find Jessica still peacefully nestled beside him. With a gentle yawn, he decided to indulge in a few more moments of rest, surrendering to the comfort.

As the sun ascended higher in the sky, its warm rays casting a gentle glow, David stirred awake to the faint sound of the TV emanating from the main hall. Stretching his tired limbs, he arose from the bed, his eyes drawn to the softly playing images on the screen.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Jessica was engrossed in the task of preparing a midday meal, her rhythmic movements filling the air.

Feeling the need to rejuvenate, David ventured into the bathroom, the water cascading over his body, reviving his senses. Upon emerging, he approached the sofa where Jessica sat, her presence comforting.

His gaze swept across the room, taking in the sight of the once cluttered with discarded clothes, now clean, the remnants of yesterday's chaos erased by Jessica's diligent efforts.

A smile crept onto David's face as he admired Jessica's efforts to tidy up the room leaving no trace of yesterday's mess.

"What happened? Why are laughing there?" asked Jessica, curious.

David chuckled and shared, "I just noticed how you've cleared all the mess from the sofa."

Jessica blushed and replied, "Oh, you caught me. It's embarrassing."

David reassured her, "Don't worry, it's still better than the state of my room before."

As their hunger pangs intensified, Jessica exclaimed, "Okay, that's enough for now. Let's dig into our meal. I'm absolutely famished."

She eagerly reached for the noodles she had hastily prepared, their steam wafting upwards. Seated at the table, they indulged in their lunchtime feast.

With a satisfied expression, David commented, "These noodles are pretty good." He savored each mouthful, relishing the flavors.

Jessica chuckled and revealed, "Well, I have to confess, they're just a quick mix pack I bought from the store. I'm not exactly a culinary expert."

"Well, it's still pretty good" David chuckled.

Their laughter echoed through the room as they continued to enjoy their meal.

Once their appetites were sated, David broached the topic that lingered from the previous day. "Do you remember what happened yesterday?" he inquired, curiosity tinging his voice. "Or were you too intoxicated to recall anything?"

Jessica's eyes sparkled with amusement as she responded, "Oh, you mean Tanya. Well, luckily, I wasn't that drunk, so I do remember what transpired."

Their laughter cascaded forth as they reminisced about Tanya's comical antics, Engrossed in their conversation, David and Jessica continued to exchange thoughts.

Curiosity sparked within David as he inquired, "When will the advertisements featuring my modeling work be displayed?"

Jessica took a moment to ponder before responding, "Well, after the photo shoot, there's a lot of backend work involved, such as editing and other processes. So, it might take another one or two months."

Astonishment colored David's reply, "Oh my god! I had no idea it would take that long. I thought it would be a matter of 2-3 days."

Jessica's laughter filled the air as she retorted, "Are you kidding? It's a standard procedure, David. They can't just release something half-baked, you know."

Realizing his own naivety, David joined in the laughter, acknowledging his previous misconception that a photoshoot simply meant taking a picture and applying minor edits.

As they finished their lunch, David broke the news to Jessica that he had to leave. Jessica walked with him towards the door as David made his way to the elevator.

Just as he was about to step inside, Jessica playfully quipped, "So, how did my panties taste from the sofa yesterday?".

David's face flushed with embarrassment, realizing he had been caught red-handed sniffing her panties.

He gathered his composure and replied, "Well, not as good as your own pussy... you know.!!"

"Ha Ha Ha Haa" laughed Jessica on the comment David just passed.

David raised an eyebrow still waiting for the lift to show up, and curiously asks. "How did you figure it out?"

Jessica replies, "Um... it had a hint of alcohol scent while I was cleaning."

"Well, that was a good one, You caught me" David chuckled awkwardly.

He quickly said his goodbyes to Jessica and hurriedly stepped into the elevator, feeling both embarrassed and amused by the exchange.

As David settled into the cab he had booked, he took a moment to check the notification that had arrived the previous night, but he hadn't seen it because he was too tired to bother.

"Show notifications," he thought to himself, prompting the system message to appear before his eyes.
