“Wow, Moro, have you seen anything different while hunting?”
Jennifer looked at Moro with anticipation, eager to see if he would give her an unexpected answer.
Over the past few days, she had been working part-time at a bar and had heard some unusual things.
For instance, the other night, a few demon hunters in the tavern, upon seeing the beautiful and sexy Jennifer, thought to share their thrilling hunting experiences to pique her curiosity.
After all, in other places, this approach had always worked wonders; there were always some naive yet thrill-seeking girls willing to follow them.
In the end, not only could they take those girls hunting, but even just showing off the spoils from their previous hunts could easily win those girls over.
That night, Jennifer was indeed intrigued, but she felt that those older men were too old and seemed neither reliable nor wealthy, so she chose not to go with them.
However, a few of her classmates excitedly followed the hunters.
When those girls returned, they proudly showed off photos of vampire fangs, werewolf claws, and some specimens of low-level goblins.
Even though they had been taken advantage of for a night, they didn't regret it; instead, they felt it was worth it.
This was also why Jennifer was now looking at Moro with such anticipation.
She wanted to experience extraordinary things with this handsome guy; even if she ended up being taken advantage of, it would be better than being taken advantage of by a man in his forties!
Unaware of these convoluted thoughts, Moro smiled and handed her his glass.
“If you buy me a drink, I can tell you my story!”
“Haha, Moro, even if you don’t say anything, I would still buy you a drink. After all, a handsome guy like you will always have girls willing to spend money to make you happy,”
Jennifer said with a bright smile, half-jokingly expressing her inner thoughts, as she poured Moro another glass of tequila.
Taking the glass, Moro chuckled.
“You do have a sweet tongue, but I generally don’t drink drinks bought by girls unless it’s from someone as beautiful as you, Jennifer.”
Upon hearing this, Jennifer's cheeks flushed slightly, and the joy on her face never faded.
Moro then raised his glass, took a sip, and began recounting one of his previous demon-hunting experiences with a deep, captivating voice.
Under the vibrant lights of the bar, Moro's handsome profile, combined with his magnetic voice and the thrilling story, deeply captivated Jennifer.
Although Jennifer appeared mature and independent, she was still just a high school girl who hadn’t graduated.
At this youthful and naive age, how could she resist a mysterious, handsome, and wealthy man like Moro?
With her own psychological influences and the “playboy” label attached to Moro, Jennifer was probably already imagining names for their future children.
Her gaze towards Moro was almost starry-eyed.
But she didn’t even notice this herself.
Maintaining that gaze, after listening to Moro's story, Jennifer finally realized her own loss of composure. She turned her head and discreetly adjusted her work uniform to prevent it from sticking to her.
After doing this, Jennifer picked up the bottle and looked at Moro with soft, affectionate eyes.
“Moro, you’re really amazing. I just wonder if I’ll ever get the chance to witness your greatness.”
As she spoke, she once again handed the filled glass to Moro, playfully scratching his palm in the process.
Noticing Jennifer's little gesture, Moro didn’t mind; instead, he curiously asked her,
“Jennifer, there can’t be many people your age working part-time, right? Would you mind sharing your experience with me?”
Though he knew about Jennifer's situation, it was merely from movies; the reality depended on how Jennifer described it herself.
Upon hearing Moro's question, Jennifer had no hesitation and straightforwardly began to share her situation.
“My family situation is like this: my mother…”
She talked for a few minutes before stopping.
Taking a sip of the cocktail she had just poured, she moistened her dry mouth and throat, looking at Moro with anticipation as she asked,
“So, Moro, my goal is to go to New York or Los Angeles to chase my dream of becoming a star!”
Moro fell silent for a moment, not directly answering Jennifer's question.
After listening to Jennifer's story, he concluded that her situation was that her family wasn’t well-off, but due to her looks, she harbored a dream of becoming a star and wanted to find a wealthy guy to give her a push.
The main reason for Jennifer's poor family background was that she came from a single-parent family.
When she was young, Jennifer's mother was a well-known beauty at the local high school, the prettiest girl in the entire school.
Now, Jennifer is so beautiful and has such a great figure, thanks to her mother's excellent genes.
However, her mother was a complete romantic, easily deceived by Jennifer's father because of a movie.
This ultimately led to her being pregnant before marriage and giving birth to Jennifer.
Later, due to poor postpartum recovery and the need to work often, Jennifer's mother’s once fiery and voluptuous figure became misshapen, and her fair and beautiful face lost its luster.
When Jennifer was four years old, her father, who was somewhat handsome, cruelly abandoned Jennifer and her mother to run off with a wealthy old widow.
After that, Jennifer and her mother began a frugal life, relying on each other.
This is also the main reason why Jennifer, still in her senior year of high school, already has three years of part-time work experience.
Having gone through so much from a young age, combined with her mother’s experiences, is why Jennifer longs to escape this small town, with her distant dream of stardom being a secondary reason.
If she doesn’t leave the town, she will never have a chance to shine.
However, due to the harsh realities and her last shred of dignity, she doesn’t want to sell her body just to leave the town.
Moreover, she doesn’t want to accompany those old, frail men just to become famous, nor does she want to sacrifice her dignity to engage in those sordid industries to accumulate resources step by step.
In summary, she wants it all but also wants to be principled—she is practically a modern version of wanting to have her cake and eat it too!
But if you say Jennifer is bad, she hasn’t done anything heinous, nor has she used her looks to deceive her male classmates; sometimes, she even feeds stray animals.
…………
You could say that Jennifer is a reflection of the beautiful women among the majority of American commoners in this era.
These young, beautiful women want to reap the benefits of being stars but don’t want to be toyed with by those capital-rich older men, nor do they want to leave behind a dark history by engaging in the sex industry to earn money before becoming famous.
After all, these dark histories won’t disappear just because you become famous; instead, they will become points of attack and ridicule from your rivals and haters.
This is why only a few stars manage to rise to fame, while many other prettier and more talented girls don’t make any significant waves in the entertainment industry, and even lack the qualifications to enter.
These convoluted matters can be summed up in a simple phrase.
Having capital support and lacking capital support are two different concepts; if you want to be famous, you must pay the price!
…………
Now, Jennifer had essentially laid bare her family situation and her specific goals to Moro.
Although she could tell that Moro's clothes and shoes were custom-made, she was genuinely uncertain about whether he was truly wealthy.
But even so, she wanted to try to connect with Moro, even to engage in deeper conversations.
Even if Moro didn’t have the ability to help her become a star, the worst-case scenario would be living a life as ordinary as her mother’s.
However, if she encountered someone she genuinely liked but didn’t dare to approach, only to regret it later, that was not Jennifer’s style.
She was beginning to understand her mother a bit; perhaps her mother had thought the same way she did back then!
Looking at Jennifer, who dared to express her intentions, Moro didn’t look down on her; instead, he admired her straightforward character and actions.
A woman who has a purpose but doesn’t hide it, and even dares to tell you, is someone who truly wants to be with you.
Otherwise, why would a young and beautiful girl approach you? Is it to let you take advantage of her, or because you haven’t washed your hair in three days and your feet in five?
Don’t be ridiculous!
We’re all adults here; I’m attracted to your looks, you’re attracted to my wealth—everyone knows what’s going on, and isn’t that better than starting with feelings and then talking about money?
At least this way, everything is clear from the start, and there’s room for choice.
Looking at Jennifer’s exquisite and beautiful face and her figure that far surpassed her peers, Moro thought for a second before agreeing to the arrangement.
“If you want to be a star, I do have some connections.
But as for the specifics, let’s discuss it properly after you come with me to a place tomorrow.”
“Ah, where are we going?”
Jennifer blushed, unconsciously imagining some inappropriate scenarios.
