Chapter 134: New Items on ‘Trillion Subsidies’_1
Upon entering, he saw Niamh, who was dressed in Chef's attire as she learned how to cook from a maid.
"Huh? You are here, Niamh?" Bright looked at Niamh in surprise.
"Yeah! The maid is teaching me how to cook a new dish today, I will cook it for you later, okay?" A hint of a smile appeared on Niamh's face.
There was some cream smeared on her cheek.
Frowning slightly, Bright stretched out his hand subconsciously. He wiped off the cream and put it in his mouth.
Suddenly, the atmosphere started to heat up a bit.
...….
The ambiance between Niamh and Bright began growing slightly ambiguous…
"You…"
She stared at Bright, surprised.
Niamh's was red as a ripe apple.
Bright went stiff as well.
He was utterly dumbfounded at the situation! His actions and responses were purely subconscious.
At that moment, Bright's expression was completely frozen.
Then, he began to speak awkwardly, "Ha… haha… That was a subconscious reaction, Niamh. Uh, don't think too much about it…"
"Uh…"
At that, Niamh's face turned even redder.
She then blurted, "I will get going now. Madam Maria, I will learn how to cook this another time."
After saying that, Niamh quickly took off her apron and left.
Seeing that, Bright instantly reacted as well.
The corners of his mouth began twitching violently as he cursed inwardly.
"What did I just say?"
A subconscious response?
Did he ask Niamh to not think too much about it?
Saying that just made Niamh even more likely to overthink!
At that moment, Bright was somewhat dazed.
"Damn it…" He muttered inwardly.
Bright felt a sudden sense of distress.
Beside him, Elaine and a few other maids were observing Bright's expression.
They seemed to be acting out of the ordinary as well.
Bright coughed awkwardly.
"Enough! Hurry up and cook."
After saying that, Bright sat on the sofa, looking despondent.
"Sigh… how could I mend my relationship with Niamh?" Bright sighed to himself.
At the same time, he began to recall the first time he met Niamh's grandfather and the night he had spent with her.
He never knew what to make of him and Niamh's relationship.
Now, however, things had gotten even more complicated.
"What a headache!"
As he was complaining, Bright's cellphone suddenly buzzed.
Upon looking at the screen, Bright was stunned for a moment to see that it was a message from Niamh.
Niamh said: "I forgot to ask you something before I left. Are you free tomorrow? I wanted to ask if you are interested in going to an art exhibition."
An art exhibition?
Seeing the message that Niamh had sent him, Bright's mouth curved up into a smile as he replied: "Should I take that as you asking me out on a date?"
As soon as he sent that, Niamh, who was already red-faced on the other end of the phone, felt her heart flutter anxiously like a frightened deer.
For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
She could only reply: "Whatever! If you are free, then come look for me tomorrow morning at eight, if not, we can go in a few days, too."
As he read her reply, a grin spread across Bright's face.
He typed: "Alright, I will look for you tomorrow morning at exactly eight."
Once he said that, Niamh felt indescribably joyful.
Inside villa no. 2, Niamh was acting nothing like the powerful woman she was known to be in the business world.
Right then, she seemed like a young girl.
If others saw Niamh in that state, they would probably be dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, Kelvin, who had just prepared tea and was about to serve it, happened to see Niamh in such a state.
His hands halted for a moment and his expression was one of shock! His expression filled quite a bit.
Wait…
Could this really be the same domineering young lady he knew?
She never backed down, not even in the face of the oppression from the titans of Cartmel.
Was she the same fearless young lady?
No! Instead she seemed like a smitten young woman, her brain filled with nothing but love.
At that moment, Kelvin couldn't help but feel that everything was utterly surreal.
It was then that Niamh noticed Kelvin out of the corner of her eye.
Suddenly, her aura shifted.
She slowly asked, "What is it, Kelvin?"
Kelvin trembled and snapped himself back to reality.
Feeling her stare, he hurriedly called out, "Here's your tea, Miss Robinson."
After placing the cup of tea in front of Niamh, Kelvin quickly prepare to leave.
However, it was then that Niamh spoke up in a leisurely tone.
"Kelvin, didn't you see anything earlier, did you?" Niamh's voice was rather icy.
The moment she said that, Kelvin, who was standing there, felt a sudden shiver run through his body.
"Haha! What are you talking about, Miss Robinson? I only came to serve you tea, I didn't see anything."
Niamh then replied in a calm voice, "I would hope so."
Right then, Kelvin paused in his steps."
He said, "However, Miss Robinson, I would like to remind you that if you can't win that bet-"
Looking up, Niamh's eyes turned cold, she retorted, "I don't need you to remind me."
"Excuse me for crossing the line."
Kelvin quickly departed.
As for Niamh, she sighed softly.
Her expression filled with a hint of worry. "8 billion in four months…"
On the other hand, Bright had finished his dinner in Villa no. 1.
Then, he worked out in the underground gym until 11:30 at night.
After that, he finally got in bed and checked his phone.
Soon it was midnight.
At that moment, the 'Trillion Subsidies' App refreshed.
With that, new products appeared.
(Stock Market Prediction Card:$999)
(Supreme Painting Skill:$99.9)
After successfully refreshing, the two items suddenly showed up on his screen.
"Oh? There are two new items today." The look on Bright's face was somewhat baffled right then.
After all, the probability of two items refreshing on the App was quite low.
"It's the first time an item of this price has shown up, though." Bright murmured to himself.
