Chapter 12 A New Vitamins?
"Good job," Hugo grinned as he stared at Lilith's score on the test that he had made.
Lilith rolled her eyes. She placed both of her arms on the desk and bit her lips. "Did I do a very good job, Sir?" her lips twisted. "Shouldn't I receive a reward?"
She stood up from her seat and went closer to Hugo's direction. She ran her fingers through the man's hair as their eyes met each other.
Hugo quickly grabbed the woman's wrist and pulled Lilith closer to his body. "Do you know what will happen to you if you don't stop?" he whispered right through the woman's ears.
"What?" Lilith breathlessly answered. She didn't know, but she felt a little excited about what Hugo had said.
Hugo grinned and quickly shifted his and Lilith's position. He was now on top while the woman was below him. Hugo slowly moved his face closer to the woman, pressing her body.
"Guess," he uttered before standing up. 'Fuck, I need to leave now or else I will have a boner again,' He reminded himself.
Hugo reluctantly stood up. He went away with the woman's body when he felt that his sword twitched. "I will leave now."
"A-Alright..." Lilith was left alone, frozen in her spot. She slowly held her lips. 'I thought..." She was expecting that Hugo would kiss him!
"Here's your pay, young man." Mrs. Reyes handed Hugo a 100-dollar bill after the man went down.
Hugo accepted the payment. "Isn't this too much?" He uttered, knowing that he was only supposed to have 80 dollars as payment.
"That 20 dollars is a tip for working hard." Mrs. Reyes looked away when Hugo stared at her. She couldn't seem to look at Hugo without thinking about what she saw earlier.
Shrugging his shoulders, Hugo accepted the money. Who wouldn't want free money after all?
"I will go now then." He bid goodbye to Mrs. Reyes and Miss Marie. He didn't see Lilith when he came down. She must have been sulking in her room alone.
Hugo left the house calmly. Loreen was the one who took him outside the gate.
"Goodbye, Hugo," a smile rose on Loreen's lips as she opened the gate for the man.
"Bye," Hugo bid goodbye. He left the house with a wide smile on his face. But when he remembered that he needed to take a cab to go back to his house, his mood instantly shifted.
'It's not even an hour, and I needed to spend some money already. I should buy a bike or something.' The man tilted his head.
However, bikes are quite costly these days. It would take him 2 weeks' worth of his full salary just to afford the cheapest one available on the market.
After riding a cab, Hugo told his address to the driver. He took out a couple of 1 dollar bills in his wallet and count them out. He didn't want to pay the $100 bill that he received earlier.
"37 dollars… I hope the fair isn't high." Hugo whispered to himself.
Since it would take 10 minutes before he arrived at his destination, Hugo decided to surf the internet to kill time.
[Breaking News!]
[The CEO of ELO had given a statement to the public about their new vitamins that would be released to the market in 2 months.]
The headline of the news caught Hugo's attention. 'I didn't recall any events about this in my previous life,' he thought. He opened up the video that was attached to the very bottom.
'Why can't they just summarize the content of the video?' He irritatedly uttered in his mind. Hugo kept clicking the triangle button in the middle, but the video wouldn't even start.
'Fuck, I forgot I'm just connected to my neighbor's Wi-Fi!"
Tilting his head to the side. 'I'll just open this video later.'

"Brother, did you buy me a lollipop?!" Hailey welcomed Hugo at the door. The little girl was staring at his brother innocently.
Hugo scratched the back of his head. He shook his head. "I didn't, but I got you something more delicious!" he kneeled on the floor so that he could be at the same height as his sister.
The little girl's eyes widened in anticipation. "What is it, brother?"
Opening his bag, Hugo took out a small box of food. It was the same pie that he ate earlier at Lilith's house. Mrs. Reyes was kind enough to give him food to take home.
"Wow!" Hailey clapped her hands repeatedly. She took the box out of Hugo's hands and ran towards their kitchen to get some fork so she could already eat the food.
Hugo chuckled at her sister. He proceeded to go to his room to change his clothes. He lay on his bed after. He opened up his phone and connected it to their neighbor's Wi-Fi.
He went back to the same news and watched the video.
"Good morning everyone, this is Noah Willington, the CEO of ELO. We have a piece of good news to share with each one of you."
"These past few months, our company had conducted several experiments to produce the best quality vitamins that you will find on the market. Just recently, we were able to succeed with the help of my dear friend, Julius."
"This medicine will not only make you healthy. It will boost your stamina and would make you stronger. Just as we planned, we would push this to the market in 2 months"
The man standing in the middle smiled widely as the applause from people around followed.
Hugo stared at the video for a few seconds. "A vitamin?" his forehead creased. He looked at the calendar near his bed when he noticed something.
2 months… that was the same time when the virus was discovered in his past life. "Don't tell me…" Hugo quickly shook his head.
'I'm in a new world. With the new events that I am currently experiencing, maybe the virus in the past wouldn't surface here.'
A loud sigh escaped from his lips. His eyes glanced over at the man behind the CEO of ELO. He saw a familiar face, wearing the same smile that he had gotten when he agreed to join the experiment.
'This motherfucker…' his eyes turned in a cold glare.
'Just wait, and I shall take my revenge for what you did to me.'
