Card Apprentice Daily Log

Chapter 47: Misunderstanding

Date 21 Mar 2321

Time 15:55

Location Sky Blossom City, Fine Gold Resort, Hot Springs Bathhouse no.02

The soak in the hot spring was so soothing and relieving that I fell asleep in the pool. Thankfully I had previously equipped the mud frog skin card to breathe in the minerals of the hot spring water through my skin pores, allowing me to breathe underwater.

Right now I was very hungry as I had a good 6 hours of sleep in the hot spring skipping breakfast and lunch. Summoning my grimoire I call the resort service and ordered a fattening meal.

[Thank you, the estimated wait time is 11mins]

Climbing out of the pool I dry myself and put on a robe and sat on the poolside patio waiting for my meal.

I was yet to get comfortable on the couch but I heard footsteps walking into the bathhouse.

‘That was fast.’ I thought it was the resort service with my meal but to my astonishment it was Jaya.

“Hi, Mr Wyatt forgive my intrusion. Can we talk?” Asked Jaya giving me a charming look.

Even though Jaya is just 17 years old she had a very bumpy figure which I noticed at the training hall when she was in her gym tights. But right now she is wearing a grey brand name logo print gym pants under a camouflage hoodie.

The hoodie was large for her size and it was covering both her front and back bumps. But it could not cover her juicy thighs wrapped in gym tights.

Remembering her expression in the training hall earlier and seeing how she showed here unannounced and uninvited I had a slight guess of what she was up to.

But I was not interested, from the perspective of my mental age I considered her a little too young for my taste. Knowing the right thing to do I said, “Mrs Jaya let me stop you right there, I am flattered really! I am sorry to say this you are not my type and I am not a casual person.”

“What? No no… I am not here for that! I am not interested in you and you are also not my type.” Jaya denied hurriedly.

“Of course you would say that now that you know” I said stretching comfortably on the couch.

“..”

Hearing me put it that way Jaya was dumbfounded but soon her expression changed to that of anger and shame as she shouted, “No you creep I was here to ask your help in the creation of my origin card. And what do you mean by you are not casual are you implying that I am easy!”

Hearing her it dawned upon me that I had misunderstood her intentions. So I apologised, “Sorry It was all a misunderstanding.”

‘Humph’ Jaya snorted.

“I am waiting” I demanded.

“I want you to create an origin card for me. Of course not for free I will pay you handsomely.” Said Jaya arrogantly.

“Not that, Apologise!” I stressed.

“For what?”

“For calling me a creep.” I am not some pushover who could stand being called creep to his face by a pompous little girl.

“..” Jaya stared at me menacingly

“Well, you do want me to create a card for you right.” I threatened using my only leverage.

Well for someone as rich and powerful as Jaya, she does not require a high schooler to create a card for her still if she does then there has to be a critical reason behind it.

I will use this to my advantage and milk the cow that walked into my den. Hey, don’t blame me she can only blame herself for her ignorance and foolishness.

“You! … I am sorry.” Jaya was never this angry before in her life, nobody dared to be so disrespectful or threaten her to her face.

Not even her sister’s enemies dared to be disrespectful to her, she was the Fine Gold princess and everyone knew that touching her was equal to unleashing hell upon oneself.

If it was anybody else she would have given them a glimpse of the Fine Gold Princess’s prestige but since the boy in front of her was the only one who could help her she had to swallow her pride and anger just this once until her work was done of course.

“Ok, now please leave. My meal has arrived and I can’t enjoy it with someone watching me.”

A waiter walked into the bathhouse pushing a trolley, greeting me and Jaya he placed the trolley next to the patio furniture and left quietly as if he was never there.

Seeing the waiter leave, suppressing her anger Jaya said, “you agreed to create my card if I apologised.”

“I never did. I just asked if you wanted me to create a card for you. It’s not my fault if you don’t understand English.”

“Don’t play word games with me. Tell me how much? Everything has a price.”

‘Sigh’ I sighed, this right here was why I wanted to hide my skills in card creation. But this was the only way I could amass a large sum of money quickly.

I had my pride and blah blah but it was not worth making an enemy of Jaya, at least not right now.

Jaya was the Fine Gold princess, it would be smart to have her as a friend, then an enemy just over some misunderstanding.

I am not an MC from a third rate novel who could not swallow his pride or control his dick.

But right now things between me and Jaya were way past where I could be friends with her. Even though she was smiling on the surface I knew she was holding a grudge against me.

I had to solve this before I even considered helping her out because I would lose my only leverage on her by then.
