After Reincarnating, My System Quit!

(A/N I got #1 in Hackers, I guess that is something, right?)

Chapter 75  Marvel At Aunt May! by Harem-Fan

     Velvet Tower, 39th floor, inside a dark office with many monitors...

     May Lee is grinning at some monitors keeping one eye on her nephew and her bosses developments.

     She is drinking some alcoholic beverages while also working for Central Government work remotely.

     May watching an interesting scene somewhere else smiles as she sees the challenger and rival to her nephew hitting on yet another trophy wife candidate.

     "Alex Renaldo and Hope Song? Oh and you two are near... Well their date would be lame and boring without some stimulation, right? Little Vicky and Ricky won't make any progress without some challenge.... and lets see... Oh that will work."

     Tap Tap Tap... And the gossipy aunt plays as a demented Cupid, while the monitor lights reflect off her glasses...

-

     Alex Renaldo just pulled up to the apartment of his latest crush. Yes, Alex, a good looking man is a self proclaimed Playboy and takes pride in his skills to charm women.

     He lowered the mirror in his sun-visor and made sure his hair and looks were in order. He then takes his mint-spray and shoots two blasts into his mouth and says to the mirror.

     "Alex, just remember, you're handsome, rich, well hung, a successful CEO, and gosh-darn-it people like you! Remember my man, you won't stay handsome forever so live a life of the finest women while you can!"

     Then he sees the hot woman coming to his car and sighs.

     "But every hot woman you can get, lacks a good personality, sigh..."

     The car door opens and a sexy figure Hope Song gets into his luxury car. Closing the door Hope asks.

     "Well my Alex, tell me how I look..."

     Alex with his charming Playboy smile tells her his signature lines.

     "Love at first sight. And your sexy black dress is breathtaking and makes me love you more."

     Hope with a man eating grin says to her date.

     "Not bad, I think I might let you stay over tonight. You're looking yummy, fufu. where are we going?"

     "I made reservations at-"

      Ding Ding! As he was going to tell his latest conquest, he looked at the notice on his smartphone. One of his workers sent him a text saying...

     [Employee xxx: Just saw Victoria Long enter the BBQ House across from Star University, thats all.]

     Thinking of that cold and sexy business woman he smiles thinking of how amazing her soft body would feel underneath him, hell he will try and knock her up the first chance he can.

     "I made reservations at The BBQ House. I have to eat at my favorite low-class eatery before a big fight, but they have an event tonight called ladies night, so you can drink more, my lover."

     She sneered and said.

     "Long is Wrong! You expect this Song young miss to eat at a Long owned restaurant? I would rather eat with pigs."

     Alex, desperate to see his crush, said to entice her.

     "I did not want to say it but... I wanted to flaunt your beauty in front of Victoria Long."

     Hope smiled like the villainous noble woman she is and said.

     "Oh? That cocky proud azure-lizard my rival is eating there? Hmmm, Yes, let's show her that my man is good. Fine, Long might be Wrong, but seeing her stuck up face grown will be a delectable appetizer, hohoho."

     Inwardly Alex is facepalming at his bad luck with hot women, even that tight-ass Ana Zi is a bitch that won't let him score, sigh, but he smiles and tells her.

     "Just remember my Hope, I am keeping my 1st spot open just for you, now let's eat."

     Then his Ford Mustang takes off heading for his destined rival in love...

-

     James and his date gave their drink order, then my good buddy started the night off with a bang...

     "Wow, I am surprised we are on a double date!"

     Victoria and I are speechless at his excited face!

     I then shook my head and pointed to Victoria and explained to my misguided wing-man.

     "Teacher Long and I are not on a date. She is only treating me to a meal after I helped to go over students' workload. We only came to eat with you guys to help your first date feel less awkward, and it's close to the University. So don't go spreading rumors in school Jimbo."

     James gives me eyes that say he does not believe me as he looks at what Victoria is wearing and myself. The fact she touched up her makeup more than class did not escape his Perv-Vision.

     Yes James is a nerd, but unlike me, he has more love-life experience in terms of years and can tell if a woman is putting in effort, so he only puts on a grin I know all too well.

     "No, I won't say a thing about it, in fact we never even saw you two tonight, right Ashley?"

     Ashley, all new to boy and girl interactions only found her aunts guilty-eyes funny to look at, and unknowingly partnered with Jim.

     "I understand and won't tell anyone we saw you two tonight. Oh, Jimbo, what will we get as an appetizer should we share some?"

     James looked at me like he wanted to punch me for teaching her that old nickname, but he only smiled at her and said.

     "I love your idea, we can try different foods that way!"

     I turned my head to look at Victoria and gave her an apologetic smile that she kindly returned. We almost have a language with our expressions, like a gift. For some reason I just got her... That is strange. right?

     Soon we put in our appetizer orders...

-

     About 20 minutes later we are served the appetizers, with a variety of selections including... Buffalo-wings, a deep-fried-onion flower, stuffed-mushrooms, and mini veggie egg-rolls and dips.

     Both Ashley and Jim started to share and try a bit of everything. I noticed they even shared the same sauce containers without care.

     While I was entertained in a daze watching this obviously blooming-couple, I was interrupted by Victoria putting a mini egg-roll on my appetizer plate. She explained.

     "Student Lee, this recipe was brought by my Long clan 2000 years ago, and I tailored it to modern tastes for this restaurant, so try some and let me know what you think?"

     Knowing about food, I tried some without sauce first, and found it to be light and not at all greasy like egg-rolls normally are. I realized it has some light grill marks and can tell its half fried and half grilled. Then I dip it in two different sauces and nodded to her.

     "Good call as an appetizer, it lets you eat a no meat option so when your main-dish of heavy meat comes, you're not overly meat filled, ha-ha. No this is really good, so Teacher Long you're actually a cook?"

     She explains her background a bit.

     "All noblewomen are trained in the arts of running a kitchen, but I as a young child truly enjoyed the art of cooking. That is why one-third of my Victoria Long inc businesses are food related."

     I point at her and say with a grin.

     "You capitalize on things humans can't live without, I noticed your businesses sold food, homes, and entertainment. Your products are things the common-folk can't live without, thus guaranteeing your successful rise, even more than your other Long members."

     She smiles and asks me.

     "So you researched my businesses? I am surprised you looked all that up."

     I feel a bit shameful here because her businesses are in articles important for business, so her Victoria Long inc was part of the Business Skill shoved into my poor brain. So I only smile and blame it on...

     "As the teacher, I expected you to throw in your personal experiences into your test, so I needed to know how you think about business."

     Who the fuck knew those stupid words are like a romantic poem to a businesswoman?!

     Till our main dishes arrived, our table had unknowingly turned into two separate worlds, one turning pink, while ours remains ambiguous but involved.

-

     James, going for the expensive dishes, had a grilled Salmon, Ashley had a rack of pork-ribs, Victoria made me order her favorite dish, the BBQ Pork sandwich with coleslaw on it with seasoned steak-fries.

     I didn't mind ordering it but she was really insistent I try it. She ate this last time as well. I was unaware this was one of her rare finger foods she personally enjoys.

     Naturally she wanted my thoughts and I told her, and I could tell how much my critique meant to her about her food and businesses, so I always put the best spin on it I could.

     Her excitement level was like a geek at a comic-con. She was so engrossed in our talk, she had not noticed we were shoulder to shoulder so she could more easily talk into my ear due to the ambient music.

     Then it really hit me all of a sudden, her smell, voice, charm, and beauty. I found myself unintentionally drawn to Victoria Long...

     I was reminded of that first time I met her, and that feeling of meeting that person I had always been waiting for to enter my life. That feeling of wanting to grow old together. Yup, I have been drawn into her very presence, till...

     A melodious and sinfully alluring voice I have heard before, and the sexy succubus I saw last Sunday night... Hope Song.

     "Hohoho, If it isn't the prideful Victoria Long, slumming it with peasants. I see your tastes are as crude as ever."

     Fuck, five glasses of wine, and my entrancement with Victoria, made me not notice my Cat and Mouse App notify me of the one mile mark for these two, and apparently Victoria was also too distracted to notice. Well it is loud in here and our phones are in our jacket pockets.

     But if trouble would have come, Mei would have done something. (cough, she currently is, grin)

     Sitting at the four top table to my left, not a booth, is Hope with her covering her mouth with the back of her hand, like an iconic villainous noblewoman in movies. Across from her sits Alex who is ordering wine for them with his handsome smile. Fuck, why are all of my foes better looking than me?!

     Victoria's building joy just shattered like glass when she heard the annoying woman she went to University with.

     This woman has been a pain in her ass for years as a self proclaimed rival in everything. She smiled and said.

     "I never thought I would see the day you of all people would come to a Long business? I thought you only supported the Tang and White State factions?"

     Alex not wanting his stupid date to piss-off his conquer target says.

     "Hello Vicky, I am actually glad we ran into you. Tomorrow night I have a match, and I would love it if you would come to support me, as a business partner. What do you say? I have tickets here for you."

     He pulled out two VIP seating for his personal guest the contender received...

     I and my other two classmates just chill and watch the drama unfold.

     Victoria only smiles at him with business etiquette knowing he is not a bad man but a bit of a Playboy. She then tactfully shoots him down by... Throwing me under the bus!

     "Sorry Alex, but my student Rick Lee had offered his second ticket to me to go and see real fighting for the first time, so I will accompany him to the event."

     I look at Victoria funny, because she knows I have no tickets, and James is looking at me with scorn, giving me eyes saying... And you're NOT on a date?

     Acting Basic kicks in and I don't look surprised at all. But Alex said in confusion.

     "How? Rick was not on the tickets list, the Deng's released it, and his name was not on it?"

     Oh! So Tony's dad decided to not send me tickets because of what I did to his kid, now I understand.

     Victoria figuring Alex pulled strings to not invite me only said.

     "Mr Lee already gave me the VIP ticket, see?"

     She holds up one official ticket that I have never seen before and is just laying it on thick. Then her rival speaks up.

     "Oh my, you could not get a date and needed to have pity from your student Lee, hoho. Hey Rick Lee, want to go with me to the match?"

     I mess with her a bit and ask.

     "Wait? Are you the cousin Scott spoke of? No, I would not be caught with anyone associating with that trash, sorry."

     Her eyes twitched hearing me dis her and she started sounding like Scott...

     "You're only a Tang bastard and you dare be rude to me?"

     "Hmmm? Sorry lady, if that's the best you got, I am not impressed. Frankly I won't go with you because I can faintly smell sewer coming off your body, actually, Scott has smelled like that all week. Have you two been riding horses a lot?"

     James, like an idiotic-genius, starts to sniff the air from her direction, actually thinking my words are true! Oh my god I want to laugh seeing him play along accidentally.

     Hope stands in shame and anger and says to Alex.

     "We are leaving! I won't eat in this disgusting restaurant owned by the Long, let's go..."

     And her sexy-ass just left him behind going down to exit the place. Well she has style at least.

     Alex looked embarrassed and told Victoria.

     "Sorry Vicky, my date is on her period and is cramping, well cheer for me so I will win, see you tomorrow night, bye."

     The four of us look dumbly at the event passing just like that. James said.

     "Don't know why she was pissed, I could not smell horses on her at all?"

     Victoria handed me the single ticket and said.

     "I was going to invite you before when we talked about it, but would you like to see the fight with me? I would not like to be alone there with all of those men?"

     Well it is the only way to get in and she is nice so sure. I take it and say.

     "Sure, just text me with the plans and time."

     James with a gossipy face points and asks.

     "Is that a date? OUCH!"

     It was evident the smiling Ashley must have stepped on his foot or pinched his leg for being insensitive, so with his goofy look said.

     "Ah! No, it's bodyguard work, right, ha-ha!"

     Victoria, happy with her niece said.

     "Correct, Mr Lee will keep those unwanted men away for me, thanks for guarding me."

     I just say. If this story is on any-other site than Scribble Hub, then it was stolen without permission!

     "Sure thing Miss Long, and I think my maid has come to pick me up, so let me walk you to your car first. Jimbo and Ashley keep having fun on the rest of your date and see you two in class on Monday."

     Vicky paid the bill and the two of us left for the parking-lot.

-

     As Victoria and I made it to her black-car, we noticed the two angry nobles looking at his sports car's four flat-slashed-tires and they were calling for a tow and pick up. Victoria said.

     "Seems those two pissed off some angry person and Karma came to them, well not our problem. Anyway, who will drive tomorrow?"

     I am brought out of my confusion and say to her.

     "Probably me, but let's figure it out tomorrow, I still need to ask my wives if I can go or not, sorry."

     As Mei pulled up behind me opening the door for me, Vicky said.

     "I am impressed you like to ask your wives, but don't worry, I will see them at the spa tomorrow, and I will explain how I pulled you in, well I am off, goodbye Rick Lee."

     After she pulled off I climbed in our car, when Mei got in she smiled at me.

     "Did my master~ have a fun date?"

     "Sigh, Lets just go home Mei."

     She starts to drive slowly past the two stranded idiots, while she grins and tells me.

     "I am a lucky Bunny, the master goes out on dates, but I still get to go home with him, Ufufu!"

     Facepalm! I hate whoever sent this idiot to me! All night, my  Spidey-senses have been tingling!
