Chapter 86 A Couple in the Game
Calvin felt that with Jocelyn there, his work would be greatly affected.
Seeing Jocelyn keep playing with her cell phone with her head down, Calvin was curious about what she was playing with. He peeked in and saw her playing a game developed by MS, his game company, so he asked, "Do you also play Super King?"
"Yes, I am a loyal player of this game."
Jocelyn's gaze was fixed on the screen, and her hands were neatly manipulating the game interface. She said without looking up, "Hey, Mr. Austin, based on our relationship, can you open the back door to give me some top-notch equipment? I want Fire Soul and Dragon Tattoo, but I haven't got them. I suspect there may not be such things in the game."
Jocelyn chattered nonstop, while Calvin remained silent, but he had quietly logged onto the game.
As soon as he logged into it, he found that he had a spouse in his account, named "Twinkle Star".
He felt very confused and thought, "Why would I suddenly have a couple in the game?
Usually, Sean is using my account, so I speculate that it is he who has built such a 'couple relationship'."
Calvin didn't pay any more attention to this and asked Jocelyn, "What is your name in the game?"
"Twinkle Star!"
Calvin was stunned for a moment.
He hadn't expected her to be the Twinkle Star in the game.
He thought in speechlessness, "In reality, she's my spouse, but I didn't expect her to be a couple with me in the game as well. What else can I say?"
Jocelyn was immersed in killing monsters in the game when she suddenly received a message on the world map reminding her that she had received three pieces of Fire Soul from "Night Sky".
Jocelyn screamed in surprise and then shouted, "Mr. Austin! You don't need to give me the equipment! My son Sean has already given me that. How sweet he is!"
Jocelyn recently discovered that Sean was good at not only drawing but also playing games. Their relationship got a lot closer as they played games together.
Calvin fell silent.
He was so angry that he didn't even know what to say for a moment.
When playing Super King with Jocelyn, Sean always used an account called "Night Sky". Therefore, she thought it was Sean's account and had no idea that it was Calvin's main account.
She had just said she wanted some top-notch equipment, and Sean immediately gave it to her. As a result, she was instantly cured.
Jocelyn was so happy that she didn't notice that Calvin's face had turned extremely dark.
Calvin couldn't help but think in anger, "When did I become her son?
Why can she be so stupid?"
He could only explain angrily, "That's not your son. Night Sky is my account!"
"What? Was it you who gave me that?"
Jocelyn looked up in surprise at Calvin's handsome face and found it very gloomy. She couldn't help but chuckle, "Well, since it's yours, then give me a few more rare equipment. Anyway, you can't use them all!"
Calvin then gifted her several pieces of Dragon Tattoo and other top-notch equipment.
Suddenly receiving so much equipment, Jocelyn smiled happily. She thought, "I'm so lucky to be here today. With all this valuable equipment, I can show off in the game for quite a while.
If I'm short of money one day, I can sell all the equipment to make a big fortune."
Jocelyn was in a good mood, and, for the sake of Calvin's generous gift-giving, she took the initiative to say, "Mr. Austin, are you busy now? Do you want to team up with me and play Super King?"
Calvin didn't want to team up with a rookie. "I like to play games alone."
Jocelyn knew that every game guru liked to be a lone ranger, and she really envied his game rank. After all, Calvin ranked first in the game.
The last time she teamed up with Sean, she felt like they were the tiger and the fox, which had brought her great fun.
"Mr. Austin, now that we are a couple in the game, just team up with me this time, okay?"
Jocelyn, regardless of whether he was willing or not, directly sent him a team invitation. Although Calvin had firmly rejected her, he did not hesitate at all to accept the invitation.
Then Jocelyn finally knew what it was like to follow a game guru.
Twinkle Star barely did anything after they formed a team. As long as the monsters approached her, they would instantly be turned into debris by Night Sky.
When doing tasks, she didn't need to do anything at all. She just needed to be a quiet rookie who picked up treasures.
"Oh my god! Mr. Austin, you're really amazing!"
"What a strike! Excellent! You deserve the top rank!"
As Calvin neatly killed the monsters, Jocelyn chattered incessantly.
She had thought that Sean played the game well enough, but now she realized that there was always someone better. Calvin was indeed superb in the game.
"No wonder he's a boss who made his fortune by founding a game company!" she thought. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
A sense of pride suddenly rose in Jocelyn's heart, and she felt quite happy to have a husband like Calvin.
The two of them played the game as a team for quite a while. As Calvin listened to Jocelyn's incessant praise of his operations, his vanity was greatly gratified. For the first time, he felt that the game he had developed was quite interesting. He had always found it rather dull when he played it alone in the past.
Happy times were always short, and an afternoon had already passed. After work, Calvin left the company with Jocelyn.
However, on the way, Jocelyn noticed that they were not going back to Tundra, so she curiously asked, "Mr. Austin, are we not going back to Tundra? Where are we going?"
"You will know when we get there."
Calvin did not tell her, and Jocelyn asked no further questions.
Suddenly, Jocelyn's phone rang. She answered it and recognized Glenna's voice. She felt a bit depressed and thought, "How did Glenna get my phone number?"
She could only greet, "Hello?"
Glenna's soft voice sounded at the other end of the phone, "Is Jocelyn speaking? I'm Glenna."
"What's up? If you don't have anything to say, I'll hang up!"
"Wait, don't hang up!" Glenna hurriedly shouted, then explained, "No matter what, you are still my sister. Today is our birthday. You have not forgotten it, have you? Dad booked us a room at the Empire Hotel to celebrate our birthday. I will send you the room number. You must come tonight!"
"Don't count me in. Just celebrate it yourselves!"
Jocelyn hung up directly, but within a minute, she got Glenna's text message.
[Glenna: Jocelyn, I won't blame you anymore. I will always treat you as my sister! I hope you will come! I will send you the address.]
After reading the text message, Jocelyn rolled her eyes and ignored it.
Shortly after, Jocelyn received another text message from Glenna. It was an address.
She knew that the Empire Hotel was the best hotel in Glebey and that the Diamond Room was the most luxurious room in the hotel. Usually, anyone who wanted the Diamond Room had to book it several months in advance.
Jocelyn couldn't help but think, "Well, Leonard must have spent a lot on booking the Diamond Room.
They said they were going to celebrate our birthday, but I know better than anyone else that Glenna invited me only to show off how nice Leonard is to her. She invited me there simply because she wanted me to be her foil.
I remember that in the past, whenever our birthday came, Leonard would hold a party in the name of the two of us. Glenna, however, was always the only one surrounded and flattered by our family and friends.
She has always been a princess loved by people around us. However, I was always isolated and excluded whenever I was present.
All the people attending the party would flatter Glenna for the sake of Natalia. No one cared that it was also my birthday, and no one had ever said happy birthday to me.
Never!"
[Jocelyn: I won't go!]
In the end, Jocelyn sent a message back to Glenna and refused her invitation.
Meanwhile, Glenna was sitting in the dressing room making up. When she saw Jocelyn's text message, she smiled smugly.
She thought, "It's best if she doesn't come!
I don't want her to steal my limelight!
The reason I invited her to the birthday party is to tell her how much our dad loves me.
Moreover, I've already invited Todd by her name. If she doesn't come, I will have the opportunity to spend time alone with Todd, will I not?"
...
Soon after Jocelyn had rejected Glenna, the car stopped at the gate of the Empire Hotel.
Looking at the tall, glittering gold doorplate of the hotel, Jocelyn really felt as if she had been slapped in the face, for she had just told Glenna that she would not come to the Empire Hotel.
Jocelyn didn't know why Calvin came here, so she asked, "Mr. Austin, why are we here?"
Calvin had already put on his mask and ordered her, "Get out of the car."
"Okay."
Jocelyn thought, "Maybe he wants to treat me to dinner outside. After all, I had been playing games with him all afternoon, which was rather tiring. Therefore, it does make sense that he wants to treat me to dinner."
As usual, black-clad bodyguards led the way, and Calvin's presence was always as imposing as a big shot in a TV drama.
Craig had already informed the hotel in advance, so as soon as they arrived there, a waiter respectfully ushered them into a private room.
Jocelyn followed Calvin in, but when she saw the waiter leading them to the Diamond Room, Jocelyn stopped and grabbed Calvin's clothes. Meanwhile, she asked in shock, "Mr. Austin, what are we doing here?"
"Isn't today your birthday?" Calvin asked.
Hearing that, Jocelyn thought, "It's indeed my birthday!
But I had already rejected Glenna and said I would not come. If she sees me here, how embarrassing will it be?
Besides, I'm with Calvin, so how should I introduce him to those people?
Most importantly, I really don't want to meet the Murray family, let alone celebrate my birthday with Glenna. I don't want to make myself unhappy."
Therefore, Jocelyn anxiously said, "Forget it, Mr. Austin. Let's not go in. Let's go to another hotel, okay?"
"Everything is ready. Why do you want to leave?"
Calvin didn't know why she had so many worries. He thought, "Everything is ready for her. If she doesn't go in, Tammy will be very sad.
After all, I have already promised Tammy to bring her here!"
"Well, I think it's better to keep a low profile. The Diamond Room is too luxurious. We are here only for dinner, and there is no need for such extravagance. How about going back to Tundra? I'll personally cook a meal for you, okay?"
