Rino lay back on his bed, with his phone in hand, and the cool air that grew from the screen illuminated his face.
He was trying to focus his attention on the decision that could change everything for him. He needed to select the perfect company to start his investnt with.
As Rino Ikenna, he had spent the past few days of his life studying the landscape of digital startups, but he wondered if carrying out the knowledge he had gathered would be easier as Rino Carter.
He called upon his digital AI assistant, the system that he now relied on for stock analysis and market trends.
The soft chi from the system, in his mind inford him that the system had co to suppress his need.
Future Analysis on my Inherited Properties.
Yes, he wanted to understand future information, since the system can try to predict that as well.
Focusing on the present, won't help him go further since he won't have the notion enough to fix already existing problems in either of the businesses to help boost their economic performances for future purposes.

"Well, well, well." Rino retorted. "Guess I will have to start early investnt."
Then, he returned his attention to his phone.
As the system worked, Rino was busy scribbling down notes on the draft interface of his phone.
But, making the decision felt impossible to him as each number, and each opportunity seed to overlap with each other.
He rubbed his forehead in frustration, trying to clear the growing confusion in his mind.
That was when his attention was diverted, distracted.
He heard the soft rustle of fabric, and so, raised his eyes to et Zaria stepping into the room, wearing the oversized shirt he had given her.
The shirt hung loosely on her, brushing past her thighs. She seed to have rolled the sleeves to reveal her delicate wrists.
Her hair, frad her face in dazzling waves, still slightly damp from the shower. And her gaze, shifted to the ground as she walked in, feigning ignorance as she approached Rino.
Rino adamantly stared at her, his eyes skimming over her as she appeared sexier than he thought she could be.
He had to admit, she was distracting.
"What are you doing?" Zaira asked, curious as she stood by the edge of his bed, taking a glance at the notes in his phone.
Rino's gaze flickered to the open draft book app in his phone, thinking hard about whether to tell this Zaira girl what he was actually doing. The decision weighed on him like a stone tied around his neck.
He sat straight up, rubbing his eyes carefully before responding with a cold, detached tone.
"Was just trying to figure out which location is best to start my investnt with," he muttered, careful not to make ntion of the properties.
Zaira leaned over slightly, taking note of the different locations Rino had jotted in his notes.
"And, can I ask?" Rino mumbled.
"Sure," Zaira replied, her fingers brushing against the phone screen as she scrolled up.
Good enough, Rino hadn't jotted down any of the company's nas, just the locations and their predicted developnt.
"If Es is our country, does it an we are existent in no continent?" Rino asked.
"Okay, I did say this way an unexpected question from a citizen. But, is it not common knowledge that our continent is called Esling? Having only one existential country in it."
"Es, Esling, then?" he still asked.
But the girl ignored the question, as she supposed he understood her clearly. She, however, returned her focus to the draft she was going through.
"So, you're a business young man too?" she asked, her voice teasingly low. "I thought you were just a guy with a lot of ti to play on his hand. How old are you?"
Rino chuckled, his lips curling into a smirk as he looked up at her.
"Can't you tell my age by rely looking at ?"
"Uhm... I did guess you're 22," the girl said. "I'm 21 by the way."
Rino's resolve not to let her know his real age grew stronger.
"Let's keep your thoughts at bay, then," he said, shifting the phone from the girl's sight.
Zaira's chin spread to a wide smile, as she she slowly lowered herself to sit beside him on the bed.
Even though she was close enough that Rino could feel the heat radiating off her skin, he seed to be at peace with it.
"I understand you must be acting to prevent so vital growth information for your business from getting leaked," Zaria said. "I an that's how businessn act, right?"
Rino didn't react to her words.
He only paid attention to her voice, which now beca casual, as if carrying sothing deeper that made Rino's pulse quicken.
"I will go for dar. At the least, environntal developnt is a great boost to business," the girl affird, clarifying to Rino that she had seen so information already.
dar... Nova Nexus Tower.
Rino thought.

"Nice, two more goals to go," he unknowingly murmured.
"Huh?" Zaria turned sharply, to hear what Rino had said.
But before Rino could find words to either hide the truth or tell the truth, he realized Zaria had more motives for staying closer to him.
And he wasn't going to revolt anyway.
He was letting Rino Carter take over.
He froze, as Zaria slid closer to him, intently brushing her leg against his as she leaned in.
His breath caught in his throat, his thoughts scattering once again.
He was going insane now, yes, but not because of the decision he was supposed to make. This lady sitting beside him has this enveloping presence, like a heavy scent.
He turned his head to et her face, and his eyes locked with hers.
Lost in the mont, they stared at each other, letting tension between them rise. The space between them becos narrow, and narrower.
Zaira's hand reached up to rest on his chest, as she pressed her fingers lightly against the pajamas shirt he wore. Her hands, changed course as she began to loose his buttons.
"I didn't know you were this... intense," she murmured, her voice almost a whisper.
Rino didn't think twice, as Zaria had already crossed the line of romance. He leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a brief but electric kiss.
After their lips parted, next was their eyes. They t each others', their breath coming heavy, caught in the intensity of the mont.
"Rino..." Zaira whispered. "Has anyone ever told you that you're a darling?"
"Huh."
"You are not just a pretty face, are you?"
Rino, for the first ti, didn't seem to have an answer to these questions.
All he wanted, all he did was to pull her closer.
