Rejection
Rejection
"You! I couldn't help it you know! I already tri..." Suddenly, he stopped and looked at the entrance.
Davis turned his head and looked at the beautiful figure who was searching for someone.
Davis smiled and was about to call her when he suddenly got a Soul Transmission.
"Invite her to the 5th VIP room."
He turned around and saw Haus leaving away stealthily.
Davis had the urge to laugh but held it back and waved his hand towards Sasha.
Sasha's eyes lit up when she saw Davis.
She wore a black corset entwined with a red skirt. Her breasts were partly visible and her hair was tied up in a ponytail.
It was clear that she dressed up for this occasion and looked mesmerising, to say the least.
The moment she came close, Davis stood up and sized her up with his eyes, nodding his head in admiration of her beauty.
"The one who invited you is waiting in the 5th VIP room." Davis went straight to the matter.
"Oh..." Sasha blinked as if she expected something else from his mouth as she saw him sizing her up.
"Then, I'll take my leave..." Feeling her gaze, he felt awkward.
If he complimented her, it would seem like hitting on her, so he said something else and left.
"Wait! You're the one who invited me to this dinner, so you take responsibility and accompany me to whoever who wants to meet me!" Sasha helplessly said.
The reason she accepted it that easily was because of Davis, a kid. She felt that he would in no way harm her and besides, this was the headquarters.
Davis thought for a moment, then nodded. He was feeling reluctant since he felt like a matchmaker now.
As silent as he was in his previous life, there was still some interest in observing people's life so he could understand what kind of existence he was in the world.
Searching for the meaning of life, that habit of his still remained, except he was oblivious to it.
Sasha sighed in relief and followed him to the 5th VIP room.
After two minutes, they arrived in front of the door.
Davis pushed the door open and went inside, followed by her.
Inside the room, it was spacious and looked clean.
The was a round table in the middle of the room with four seats, and beside it were two rooms.
On the round table, Haus grinned and stood up, "Thank you for accepting my invite, Miss Sasha."
"It's you!" A screech echoed in the room causing Davis to blink.
The next moment, he shook his head, 'Of course, they knew each other...'
"How many times do I have to reject you till you feel like giving up!? Hmph! I'm leaving!" Sasha pointed at Haus as she spoke, then turned around to leave.
Haus went pale before dashing towards the door to block her path.
"What are you doing Haus?" Sasha scowled as grew angry.
"Sasha, why won't you understand me? Even though I love you so much..." Haus had a sad and an aggrieved expression on his face.
"Huh? You expect me to love you back just because you love me so much? Many have confessed to me before but I have politely rejected them all, leaving only some of you who just won't give up, being persistent and annoying all the time."
"But... I truly love you!"
"Truly love me? I bet if it weren't for this place's safety, I'm pretty sure you or those people would have done something to me already!"
Haus's face went even more pale by the second. He wanted her to understand that it was not true but he couldn't come up with a good explanation for it.
Both of them understood that in this world, strength prevails.
If you had enough strength, you can even treat a woman as a human cauldron and no one would bat an eye although they would detest it.
And vice versa, plus, worst of all, you could treat men as slaves, and the bystanders wouldn't even care.
Although Davis knew how worse the world could get, if he personally witnessed it, then he might understand how perverse this 'Strong rules Weak' world truly is... If he did, then he could probably even understand Lily's wish to die and unite with her husband in the afterlife.
Seeing that there was no reply, Sasha passed by him and left.
Davis blinked a little, feeling pity for Haus. Thankfully, his Evelynn wasn't like Sasha and gave him a chance to be together with her.
A few moments passed before Haus came out of his thoughts, "Haha, I made an embarrassment of myself, don't worry about it."
'I'm not worried about you though...' Davis thought but didn't voice out, "Actually, you look good and suave, middle-aged... wait! How old are you?"
Haus was taken aback, "Me? I'm 137 years old..."
Davis looked at him in wonder, "You're around hundred years older than her? And you want to marry her?"
"Hmm? Is it wrong?" Haus looked confused.
"..."
"Eh... but I've seen many people getting married with an age difference of hundreds of years..." Haus shot back with a red face.
"You're a virgin, aren't you?" Davis grinned as his lips curved.
Haus shut his mouth and didn't say anything but his face was bright red, probably from the resulting embarrassment.
Finally, he couldn't hold it in and growled, "What's wrong with being a virgin until finding the right person in your life and getting married!?"
"You're only a kid! These are all adult problems, and a kid like you shouldn't butt in!" Haus pointed at him as he found his way out.
Haus suddenly calmed down and thought to himself, 'Yeah, why am I talking to a child seriously!?'
Davis got a good laugh but he was holding it in his heart, "No one told it was wrong. It's just... leave it. Don't you feel awkward for marrying someone with an age difference of 100 years?"
"No... I know many people who aren't..." Haus shook his head.
