Chapter 15: Potential Workers
"I will drop my number, you can call me whenever you\'re ready or you can come meet at Premiere Villa," Silas said, as he wrote his contact on a piece of paper and dropped it on the counter.
He knew that the girls won\'t believe him, maybe the waitress would but definitely not the girl she was talking to.
"Yeah.. meet you at the Premiere Villa," The girl mockingly said and was about to stand up and leave, when she paused and looked at him in surprise, "Wait, by Premiere Villa, you mean the blueish-white villa close to the beach?," She asked and Silas nodded his head, shocking her.
"I don\'t understand. You live there or what?," She asked with a mocking smirk on her face.
"I own it," Silas said, and silence fell on the counter, as the two girls looked at him in deep shock.
It couldn\'t be helped as everyone in Newport and the surrounding city knows the building, Premiere Villa, as it\'s a something of a landmark for a small place like theirs and here in front of her, is a... kid not older than her younger sibling telling her that he owns the Premiere Villa.
The waitress and the girl couldn\'t help but look at Silas again and change their assessment of him. The waitress already knows that Silas is rich because of his car parked outside, so her hearing what Silas said didn\'t give her much of a shock.
The same couldn\'t be said for the girl, as her shock was bigger because she came in after Silas arrived and didn\'t see him coming down from his car.
Silas saw the expression on the girls\' face and smiled as he said to himself, "They definitely won\'t believe it."
Silas decided to leave when he saw their reaction. He knew that he would need to give the girl time to think about it, but he was not in a rush and it\'s not like she was the only option.
He will give her a week and if he still hasn\'t gotten a response from her, then he will go to a hiring agency.
Silas left the restaurant and walked towards his car, which still had some crowd around it but they gave way when they saw him coming.
Silas didn\'t pay attention to any of them, especially the ones who wanted to take a picture with him, as he got into the car and drove off.
...
Inside the restaurant, the waitress and the girl looked at each other and simultaneously looked back at the entrance of the restaurant.
"Serah, if he\'s the owner of that car, then it should be possible that he owns Premiere Villa, right?," The girl asked the waitress.
"I think so, Emma," The waitress called Serah replied and continued, "We can confirm it from that website. You know, that one that has a lot of properties listed on it. We will check and see if it has been bought."
Hearing this, Emma nodded and brought out her phone and opened the website that Serah was talking about.
Few seconds later, she looked at Serah and nodded, as she said, "It now has a sold stamp on it."
"I guess that answers our questions, but do you want to work for him? Considering your issue with men," Serah asked, when she saw the pondering expression on her friend\'s face.
"What do you mean by \'my issue with men\'? You make it sound like I hate men or something," Emma said, giving her friend a side-eye, "About the job, I don\'t know what to do yet. I mean.. I don\'t even know what type of work it is," she added.
"I guess there\'s only one way to find out then," Serah said, and picked up the piece of paper that Silas wrote his contact on.
.....
Meanwhile, Silas was back at the villa and was preparing to soak himself in the bathtub when something stopped him in his tracks.
[Ding!]
[New Mission Available.]
[Mission: Get Into A University.]
[Reward: A random item from the system store.]
[Time Limit: 7 Days]
"Huh? A new mission... and it has a time limit," Silas said in surprise when he saw the new mission he got from the system.
"Get into a university? This shouldn\'t be hard,.. right?"
Silas was surprised about the new mission he got, but he was even more curious as to what reward he would get.
Silas\' plan before he got the system was to work and save enough money for college. The thought of going to college or university was still in his mind even after getting the system, and this was the reason why he wanted to buy a house close to Stanford University.
"Now that I think of it, I haven\'t checked the system store\'s item section. Let\'s see what good stuff it has," Silas said, and was about to open the system store when he got a notification from the system.
[Note: Host will not be allowed access to the system store until the level up requirements are met.]
[Note: Host will not be allowed access to the system store until the mission is completed.]
"Ehh?! Will not be allowed access?," Silas said in surprise when he saw the system\'s notification.
"Ahhh... If I knew I would have taken a look at it earlier," He said with a sigh.
"Let\'s check other notifications and my status," He said, and called up his status screen.

"Looking at my stats makes me wonder when I\'m going to be able to raise all of them to ten and level up?," Silas said to himself, shaking his head.
After a few seconds of thoughts, he decided to raise his Agility stat to match his Charisma.
He exchanged $10 million for 1000 system points, and converted the system points to stat points, which gave him 1 stat points and he added it to his Agility.
After he was done with that, he got into the bathtub filled with water and soaked himself in it.
"Ahh.... This is the life."
