Chapter 82: She's My Future Wife
Chapter 82: She's My Future Wife
"It looks like you managed to get the girls to come with you." Marcus smiled, waved his hand to the ladies, and greeted them.
Brina, the one who kept asking questions during class waved back. "These two started to cry in front of us so it left us with no choice."
Pia nodded. "That's right."
Reno quickly turned his head to the lady who stood to his right. "You! We didn't even beg. Both of your families asked you to come so you decided to just come with us!"
Brina giggled.
Reno the virgin boy, blushed as he stared at her face.
Pia who stood beside Brina, locked arms with Nedo who stood to her right. "That's how they became our date for the night."
"Ye-yes, that's right." Nedo stuttered.
Marcus chuckled. He then saw that they wanted to ask something "I know what your question is. Save it for when we talk inside."
How could they not be curious about Emily?
He then walked towards Nexus and the others who were waiting for him in front of the building.
Nexus who was conversing with Eva turned his head towards the vermilion-haired teen. "Fucker! I thought you were going to make us wait for an hour."
"Shut up! I don't like this any more than you do." For Marcus, this wasn't the kind of atmosphere he wanted to be in. He hated crowds, something that would never change.
Marcus turned his head to Zoey, Leo, Maya, and Loo. He greeted them one by one and went to stand beside Emily.
The opening went smoothly, after the ribbon was cut, they went inside. Marcus didn't forget to tell a guard about Reno and the others. He told the guard to lead Reno to the VIP room beside theirs.
The guard complied.
Marcus and the board arrived inside. In the middle, there was a dance floor with a bar situated in the middle. To the sides, seats, and bars. The first floor had a huge area that could fit around 500 to 600 people.
The group made their way to the second floor.
"It's amazing," Emily commented as she looked around.
"They really did a great job," Marcus said.
Eva, Nexus, and the others really did a great job. He of course had no hand in this as he was busy cultivating so he too was surprised to see the place.
The group arrived on the second floor. To their right side, they could see the first floor. Railings were placed to prevent drunk people from falling. It would not kill them, but it would still hurt.
They continued to the VIP room, passing by guards that were lined up on the sides. None of them were below Preparation Stage. Though they were only at the early stages, it is still quite grand.
They went in, sat down, and ordered their drinks. Drinks don't have to be delivered by anyone in VIP rooms. One just needs to tap the table and a menu will pop up. All the available drinks will be shown there.
The drink chosen will then be traveled into a pipe and pop up on top of the table, something on the table will slide in the process when the drinks come out.
There were also couches on the side, tv on the wall, and a billiard table on the far side of the room.
"It's been one massive success!" Loo raised his beer.
"Let's just hope that this will continue". Leo, who sat beside Maya, downed his drink.
Maya's picture was on the side of every beer bottle. As for other drinks, they just placed their logo, but she is seen holding them on billboards and doing commercials for every single offered drink.
Leo and Maya's relationship was still unknown as none of them wanted to make a move. Leo was with her all throughout her shoots. Both late nights, and early mornings.
Zoey turned to Marcus who sat at the edge of the rectangular table. They all knew who the real boss here was. It was not Eva nor was it Nexus, but the vermilion-haired teen Marcus. They did wonder who Nexus was as he didn't like to talk much.
Zoey was about to say something but Marcus managed to speak first. "You look gorgeous as always."
Marcus still remembered every lesson Gary taught him. How could he not? Every time he's practiced his spear arts in the heavenly realm he had to recite Gary's teaching like a mantra. One of them was to always compliment a girl.
Although he retained his past memories, Gary's teachings were still extremely useful. Not the part about fighting, but the part about women.
Zoey unconsciously smiled when he heard his compliment.
Emily pinched Marcus' thigh which made him wince.
"A toast!" Loo raised his voice matching his drink. "To the prosperity of the company."
Marcus stayed there for a couple of minutes before he went out. Before he exited, he turned his head towards Zoey. "We can talk later, if you want."
Zoey shook her head. "It's fine, I just wanted to congratulate you."
"Alright then." Marcus nodded and made his way out. He proceeded to go to where Reno and his other classmates were.
He fixed his suit, knocked on the door, and opened it. Nedo, Reno, Brina, and Pia sat on the couch, conversing.
The four looked at the vermilion-haired teen.
"So? Come on, tell us." Reno intently stared at Marcus. The others did too.
They wanted to find out his relationship with Emily, their teacher.
"Ahem," Marcus coughed. "Can't we talk about something else and then build up to that?"
"Come on, why drag it? Tell!" Brina placed her elbows on Reno's lap and her hands under her chin.
Pia didn't say anything but her eyes said it all. She too wanted to know.
Nedo didn't say anything and had a look of 'if you tell us, okay, but if you don't, then it's fine.'. He thinks that bugging someone who they just met about their personal life is not proper.
'Kids.' Marcus sighed. "Alright, Emily is my future wife."
The room turned silent. Their mouths, agape.
"Wi-Wife?" Nedo stuttured.
"Future wife." Marcus corrected.
"Dude! That's amazing!" Reno was basically shouting, making Brina remove her elbows from his thigh.
"How did you two meet? Have you guys known each other before she was our teacher?" Pia asked.
"Long story short, she's my mother's sister and I like her. Let's leave it at that." Marcus didn't want to go into detail. It felt weird talking about it.
Reno stood up. "Holy shit! It's like one of those hen-."
Reno swallowed the word, he cleared his throat, and continued. "It's like one of those anime videos I used to watch."
Nedo chuckled.
"How are the drinks?" Marcus changed the topic.
"They are out of this world. It's nothing like the ones I tasted before, plus they're less expensive." Brina's eyes sparkled.
Pia nodded her head. "I agree with Brina. I could already feel the changes that are going on inside my body."
Nedo, who heard this, stared at her figure.
"Pervert!" Pia slapped Nedo's forehead.
"Hahaha, that's good to hear. We will be constantly releasing drinks that will aid in the cultivation of us young adults." Marcus calmly said.
