Supreme Casanova: Ultimate Harem System

Hugo sat across from Jessica, trying to stay calm, but inside, his mind was in complete chaos.

'It's been an hour. A WHOLE HOUR! What's wrong with her? What is this woman made of? Titanium? Most girls would've agreed to go somewhere private by now. She hasn't even hinted at leaving with me. Is this some kind of endurance test? She's still chatting like this is a book club meeting!'

Outwardly, Hugo kept his suave smile, nodding at Jessica's words as if everything was perfectly fine.

But inside? Inside, he was screaming.

'Sanchez said to use the perfect mix of charm and confidence. Well, I've done that. I've smiled. I've complimented her. I've even laughed at her weird tennis injury story. What more does she want?!'

'Okay, do I cut my losses and go talk to someone else? The redhead at the bar looks nice, plus she's been giving me glances for some time now.'

He glanced at Jessica, who was animatedly recounting a story about her tennis career.

'But if I leave now, I've wasted an hour! An hour of my prime charm! No... No! I've already invested an hour into Jessica. I'm not leaving until I get her to agree!'

Just as Hugo was about to double down, he caught sight of the bartender.

The man stood a few feet away, smirking in that infuriating, all-knowing way. Hugo tensed. 'Oh, great. What is this menace planning now?'

The bartender strolled over, leaning casually on the bar next to Jessica. "Miss, would you like a refill?" he asked, his voice smooth like melted butter.

Jessica perked up. "Sure! Why not?"

Then the bartender turned to Hugo, his smirk somehow growing even more evil. "And you, sir? Would you like to leave a tip for her drink?"

Hugo blinked. 'A tip? For what? This guy's trying to humiliate me in front of her. Unbelievable.'

The bartender raised his eyebrows, his expression shifting into something... odd. He started winking and twitching his eyes, like he was trying to send Hugo a message.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'What the heck is this? Is he possessed? Why is he blinking like that?'

The bartender raised his eyebrows, his expression shifting into something... odd. He started winking and twitching his eyes, like he was trying to send Hugo a message. 'What the heck is this? Why is he blinking like that? Is he having a stroke?'

At first, Hugo wanted to tell the man to buzz off. There was no way he was going to tip this bartender after he almost embarrassed him.

But something about the bartender's look made him pause. 'Wait... Is he trying to help me? Is this some kind of secret code?'

After an intense five seconds of deliberation, Hugo sighed. 'Fine. Let's see where this goes. He slapped a crisp $20 bill on the bar. Goodbye, my sweet lunch money. You shall be forever missed.'

The bartender snatched the cash with a grin so wide it could've split his face. "Excellent choice, sir," he said, then hurried off.

Hugo's inner voice went wild. 'Twenty bucks! TWENTY! This is daylight robbery. I should've walked away. Sanchez didn't prepare me for scams like this!'

Five minutes later, the bartender returned, holding a tall glass of something pink, fizzy, and suspiciously fancy. A tiny umbrella stuck out of the top, and the whole thing practically screamed trouble.

The bartender set the drink in front of Jessica. "Here you go, miss. Enjoy."

Jessica frowned, clearly confused. "Uh, I didn't order this. I just wanted the same drink as before."

"Ah, but this is our newest flavour," the bartender said, his voice dripping with charm. "Limited edition. A special treat for someone as lovely as you. Trust me, it's better than the last one."

Jessica hesitated for a moment, then shrugged. "Alright, I'll give it a try."

Hugo watched the scene unfold, his suspicion growing. 'What is this guy up to now? If this is another scam, I'm going to lose my mind.'

Jessica sipped the drink and smiled. "Oh, this is really good!"

Hugo blinked. 'Huh. That's it? No drama? No disaster? Did I just get swindled for no reason? My intuition was wrong?'

Still, Hugo didn't have much time to dwell on his confusion because Jessica continued talking to him, sipping her drink between sentences.

To his surprise, she was loosening up, even laughing more at his jokes. But then, fifteen minutes after, Hugo started noticing some... odd changes.

Jessica's posture shifted.

Her eyes became half-lidded, and her voice dropped an octave, taking on a softer, almost sultry tone. She leaned closer to him, her fingers twirling a strand of hair.

And then, just as Hugo was starting to think it was all in his head, Jessica's gaze locked onto his lips like they were the last slice of pizza on Earth.

Hugo froze. 'Wait. Is she... flirting with me? No, no, no, that's impossible. She's been stiff all night. What changed?'

He glanced at the pink drink, still half-full on the table. Suddenly, it clicked. 'Oh my God! It's the drink! That psycho bartender spiked it with some kind of... lust potion or something!

Jessica's hand casually brushed against his arm, and Hugo's heart skipped a beat. 'Oh, wow. Oh, wow, wow, wow. This is escalating fast. I wasn't ready for this!' Read new adventures at empire

Jessica smiled at him, her voice smooth as honey. "You're really something, Hugo."

Hugo gulped, his brain firing on all cylinders. 'Okay, okay, don't freak out. Play it cool. Whatever that guy put in her drink, it's working. Just roll with it. But also, what kind of dangerous lunatic is this bartender?'

He glanced toward the bar, where the man was casually wiping glasses and watching them with a grin.

Hugo's inner voice screamed. 'This guy is terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. But you know what? I might owe him one.'
