“Have you seen enough? Hurry up and help me up.” Just as Jack Carter glanced over, couldn’t help but look again, and then once more, a woman’s teasing voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

Jack Carter was startled, only then realizing that the woman was looking at him with a playful reproach.

Seeing this, Jack Carter couldn’t help but cough awkwardly twice, hurriedly reaching out to help the woman up, saying, “Are you alright? Do you need me to take a look?”

“Still haven’t seen enough?” The woman rolled her eyes at Jack Carter as she stood up with his help.

Chapter 2: You Have a Good Image

Jack Carter’s original intention was to help treat the woman’s sprain, but after her comment, he felt even more embarrassed. He coughed twice, just about to explain, when the woman, seeing his awkward and shy expression, giggled and rolled her eyes at Jack Carter, saying sweetly, “Handsome, I was just joking with you. Thank you for getting my bag back.”

Although Jack Carter was secretly a wizard, he had just graduated from technical school this year at the age of twenty, and had never even been in a relationship, let alone joked so boldly with a woman face to face. Hearing this, he became even more embarrassed and shy, quickly replying modestly, “It was nothing, just a small favor.”

“A small favor? This was a huge help! Otherwise, my whole month’s work would have been for nothing.” The woman retorted.

Jack Carter smiled a little shyly at her words, not daring to be modest any further.

“There’s a KFC up ahead, handsome. How about I treat you to a meal to thank you? It’s lunchtime anyway.” The woman smiled.

“No need, really, it was just a small favor.” Jack Carter thought to himself that not only did he casually toss a bag and earn a “huge sum” of fifty yuan from a black market deal, but now a beautiful and sexy young woman wanted to treat him to KFC. He really felt a bit embarrassed.

“Are you really going to turn me down? Besides, are you just going to leave an injured person like me to roast in the sun?” The woman, seeing Jack Carter refuse, flashed a look of surprise in her eyes, then pouted her sexy red lips and looked at him with a hint of grievance.

After all, she was a beauty!

Only then did Jack Carter remember that the woman’s foot was injured, and if he left, it would really be inconvenient for her. Of course, such a minor injury was nothing to Jack Carter, but after being teased by her earlier, he felt too embarrassed to bring it up again. So he just nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go to KFC together.”

With that, Jack Carter held up the sun umbrella with one hand and supported the woman’s arm with the other.

When he helped her up from the ground just now, Jack Carter didn’t feel anything, but now, with his hand supporting her bare arm and occasionally brushing against her soft, fragrant body through the thin summer clothes, he could clearly feel the smoothness of her skin. Jack Carter couldn’t help but get a little nervous—this was the first time in his life he had been so physically close to a stranger of the opposite sex.

The woman noticed Jack Carter seemed a bit nervous and couldn’t help but find it amusing. She hadn’t seen such a pure young man in years.

“By the way, handsome, my name is Grace Bennett. What’s yours?”

“Jack Carter.” Jack Carter replied simply.

“I saw you holding what looked like job application materials just now. Did you just graduate this year and are looking for a job?” Grace Bennett noticed Jack Carter was sparing with words and didn’t try to impress her just because she was pretty, which made her even more interested. She looked up at him curiously and asked.

“Yeah.” Jack Carter nodded, a bit wistful.

When he first left school, Jack Carter thought it would be easy to make a living like an ordinary person. But after more than a month, he truly realized that making a living as an ordinary person was not easy at all. Just like that thief earlier—his talk about “having elders and children to support” was probably nonsense, but when he said “it’s this damn life that forced me,” Jack Carter believed that was from the heart.

“So? Any luck?” Grace Bennett saw she had guessed right and couldn’t help but ask further.

“There are so many college graduates now, and I’m just a technical school graduate. It’s tough!” Jack Carter shook his head with a bitter smile.

“That’s true. These days, a lot of companies only care about diplomas, not ability.” Grace Bennett seemed to relate.

“Heh, it’s understandable. There are so many college graduates now—why would they hire a technical school grad for the same salary?” Jack Carter laughed at himself.

“You’re even making excuses for them. Oh, right, our bar is hiring right now. How about I recommend you? The only downside is the night shifts and the noisy environment, but the pay is as good as most companies.” As Grace Bennett spoke, she suddenly remembered that the BLUENIGHT bar where she worked had just lost a waiter and needed a replacement. Her eyes lit up.
