Regression - Second Chance At Life

Chapter 72: What Do I Get?

Adam arrives at his workplace and parks his car in his usual spot. Like always, he is here before everyone else, but not Ellie. Ellie will always be here first as she cares about this restaurant the most.

As he is about to get out, his phone buzzes. He looks at the message and sees that the seven million four hundred and twenty thousand dollars has been transferred to his bank, bringing a smile to his face.

But Amon won’t keep all this money in his bank. He already plans to invest more of it

Adam gets out of his car and walks into the restaurant through the back door, and sees Ellie as always working. She is probably the hardest-working woman Adam has ever seen.

”Good morning,” Adam greets her like always with a smile. ”Good morning to you, too,” Ellie says, smiling back.

Adam then goes into the men’s locker room and puts on his uniform before starting the day.

He opens the restaurant and starts greeting customers as they slowly start coming in.

Leila and Cassie also soon arrive and begin assisting Adam around. Just like that, a few hours fly by in an instant, and Adam, Leila, and Cassie sit down to eat their lunch.

Ellie’s food always tastes great, so they have no complaints about it.

As they sit down to eat, Cassie makes sure to sit beside Adam while Leila sits in front of him.

They eat their lunch and talk about small stuff and what’s going on in their life.

Leila seems to be working on her art piece for her finals. ”What are you doing?” Adam couldn’t help but get curious about what Leila was planning to do.

”Ugh, I don’t know. My professor is a sucker for realism. She wants us to stick to what she has taught us. I hate it when people tell me what I can or can’t do,” Leila says, annoyed.

”I am not surprised,” Adam says with a smirk as Leila is a full-blown goth.

Leila gives him the side eye but continues expressing her annoyance about her art piece.

”She wants us to imagine and capture human beauty or some shit. I can’t even imagine a face, let alone an entire human,” Leila says

”Why don’t you just hire a model and do a detailed sketch? I am sure that’s enough to please your art teacher. You can draw people, right? What’s better than capturing a human in all their beauty,” Adam suggests.

He has no idea how art gets graded, but Adam has always been impressed by artists who can paint a human in such a way that the picture doesn’t need anything to tell its story.

Adam never understood how some simple patches of paint on a canvas outsell those beautiful portraits.

”I would if I could afford to hire a model, but finding a good-looking model who is cheap is very hard,” Leila says, sighing. But then her eyes lock onto Adam’s face.

”Why are you staring at me?” Adam asks as Leila has been staring at him intensely for a few seconds now.

”Why don’t you be my model?” Leila asks excitedly.

”Hahaha, nice joke,” Adam says.

”No, I am being serious. Be my model. You are clearly the most handsome man I know, so I don’t think it would be hard for me to capture you on a canvas. Of course, I can’t pay you a penny because I am broke,” Leila says.

”Oh, you do sound serious, and what do I get in return?” Adam asks.

”A kiss on the cheek from me,” Leila says, smiling innocently. Adam smirks and turns to look at Cassie, who has been listening to them.

”Cassie, can you give me a kiss on the cheek?” Adam asks with his signature charming smile.

Cassie’s eyes widen with surprise, then she immediately blushes, but before she could even say anything, Adam is already bringing his cheek closer to her lips.

Cassie’s heart starts racing rapidly, as this is her chance to kiss Adam. Even though it is still a kiss on the cheek, it’s still a kiss.

So she leans in and plants her lips on his cheek.

Adam smirks, looking at Leila.

”See, I can get a kiss on the cheek any time I want. Your offer’s worth nothing,” Adam says.

Leila squints her eyes, annoyed. She can tell that Adam clearly wants something more from her.

”Okay fine, I will let you see my boobs,” Leila says.

Hearing her offer brings Cassie great shock. She didn’t think Leila would up the stake so far.

”Hahaha, do you think I am a little kid? I have already seen plenty of breasts, how’s yours any special?” Adam asks with a smirk.

Cassie looks at Adam, hearing his statement. She doesn’t find it surprising to hear him say that he has seen many breasts. Adam is too handsome not to have any experience with women.

”They are pierced,” Leila says, dropping a bomb with a sly smile on her face.

Cassie’s eyes widen again. She never expected Leila to actually have piercings there. Of course, they are not showing, as Leila wears a bra.

Even Adam gets a little swayed hearing that Leila’s nipples are pierced. His curiosity skyrockets as he wants to see them. He has never encountered a pierced nipple before, so it would be a waste for him to pass on this chance. But Adam believes he can get much more out of this deal.

”It’s a very tempting offer, but I will have to pass. Like I said, I am not a kid anymore. They are just breasts with piercings at the end of the day,” Adam says.

Leila frowns, seeing Adam not budging. She thought showing her breasts would be enough as it would work on most men, but Adam is clearly much more greedy.

Now it’s up to her if she wants to entertain Adam’s greed a little more or pull away from it.

As she stares at Adam’s handsome face and charming smile, she realizes that she will have an extremely hard time finding someone as handsome as Adam, even if she pays top dollar.

She realizes she needs to sweeten the deal a little more.

”I... I will let you touch them...” Leila says with her eyes shut into a frown and an annoyed look on her face, but she is also blushing really hard, turning her pale skin red with embarrassment.

Cassie’s eyes widen with shock once again hearing Leila’s proposal. She never expected Leila to be so desperate for a model.

But Leila is not desperate. It’s just that she is more comfortable with Adam and finds him attractive. So she doesn’t think it’s a bad idea to let him touch her breasts once so that he would model for her.

”Leila!” Cassie exclaims. But before she could say anything further, Adam agreed to it immediately. Even though simply grabbing Leila’s breast won’t satisfy him, it’s a cracked door, and Adam knows how to slip through such a crack.

”Deal!” He immediately says, extending his hand for a handshake.

Leila opens her eyes and sees Adam’s hand before her. She grabs it and they shake on it. Cassie watches with shock as the two come to a deal.

”Leila, that’s like... prostitution!” Cassie says, trying to back Leila out of this deal, and also because she is jealous.

”Don’t worry, Cassie, it’s an equal trade. Since I am modeling for her, I am assuming I will be completely naked, meaning she will see everything about me, so in return, I get to see her breasts and touch them as she profits off my looks.

It’s an equal trade in my eyes,” Adam says, smiling.

”Yes, it’s an equal trade, and you don’t need to worry about it, Cassie. It’s a deal between Adam and me,” Leila says.

Cassie shuts up, but her thoughts are in even more turmoil as she realizes that Adam would be completely naked before Leila as she sketches him.

Her jealousy flares up even more, but she can’t do anything about it as Adam and Leila have already come to an agreement.

After their agreement, the conversation moves to something else.

It’s Cassie’s turn to talk about the things happening around her.

Cassie starts getting a little more touchy with Adam, putting her hands around his arm and acting like it’s a very normal thing to do, clearly trying to show that she, too, wants a piece of Adam after the agreement between him and Leila, which Leila notices and rolls her eyes.

She can understand why Cassie is doing this. Adam is clearly very handsome, and any girl around him would start falling for him, especially because he also has a very nice personality, aura, and charm that go along with his handsomeness.

Her offer to allow him to touch her breast would make any woman jealous, especially someone like Cassie, who seems to have a liking for Adam from day one.

Adam notices Leila’s reaction and stares into her eyes as she looks back at him. He smirks, seeing how hard Leila is trying to act indifferent, but he can see that she, too, is jealous, seeing Cassie now getting a little more touchy with him.

Leila doesn’t like to show it, but she is also very attracted to Adam, as he is not like most guys that have been in her life.

Not only is he handsome, but he is also very fun to be around and banter with. Leila always has fun when Adam is around.

She just tries to bury her feelings and desires a little more than others.
