"Jacob! Jacob!"
Julia looked at the dazed Jacob, stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, pulling him back to reality from his fantasy.
"Are you too tired recently? You have to train Pokémon and do scientific research. You must pay more attention to rest." Julia looked at Jacob with concern. She examined him carefully and noticed that he had heavy dark circles under his eyes and his complexion wasn't very good. It was obvious that he had been lacking sleep for a long ti.
This made Julia admire Jacob even more, but she also felt a little worried for him. It seed that behind every success was hard work. At the age of 18 when many people were enjoying themselves, Jacob had already learned to endure hardships.
"It's okay. I was just thinking about sothing and my mind wandered," Jacob explained. "You haven't told
yet, what did you want to talk to
about?"
"Actually, there's nothing much. I just wanted to chat with Dr. Jacob. I hope that when Dr. Jacob becos successful, he won't forget his little sparring partner." Julia had beco quite familiar with Jacob, and they often joked with each other.
"Okay, okay. Don't worry, when I beco rich, I'll buy you a Heavy Ball and let you catch a big, strong Pokémon. I'll keep the good ones and you can have the leftovers." After getting to know each other better, Jacob was no longer as reserved as when they first t. He joked with Julia, "Alas, my shoulders are suddenly a little sore. It would be great if soone could rub them for ."
"Dr. Jacob, please sit down. I'll give you a massage." Julia looked around with a blushing face. The two of them were now in the battle room. There was no one around. They were the only ones in the entire training area.
Julia glanced around a few tis with concern. After making sure that there was no one else, she asked Jacob to sit on a nearby chair and walked behind him to rub his shoulders. "Is the pressure okay?"
"Not quite. Setting aside your looks and figure, your technique is quite unprofessional. I can only offer you 15 PokéDollars an hour at most." It was clear that Julia, the pampered young lady, had never given anyone a massage before. In just a short while, Jacob felt that his shoulders were about to bruise, and as he finished speaking, the pressure on his shoulders increased: "Ah! Ah! Be gentle! If you're being this attentive, you're either setting
up or after sothing. Tell
what you really want to say."
"Dr. Jacob, you're very perceptive. My mother said she wants to treat you to lunch tomorrow at noon," Julia said suddenly.
Julia's mother?
Jacob imdiately thought of the elegant Raya, that beautiful, wealthy woman who was still charming despite having a daughter as old as Julia. Why did she suddenly want to invite him to dinner? It seed that people who were overly attentive to others without reason were indeed after sothing.
Well, it must be related to the exclusive Z-Move. It seed that Raya had a Mimikyu, and Mimikyu had an exclusive Z-Move called Let's Snuggle Forever, but it hadn't been announced yet.
Should he agree to it? Or could he refuse?
Jacob frowned and thought. Raya was not only one of the Four Heavenly Kings in East China but also a famous wealthy woman in the country. With her figure, appearance, status, and wealth, she was definitely a high-quality socialite ranked on the first page of the national elite's directory. It was unfortunate for her admirers that she lived a happy and fulfilling life with her husband.
In addition to this, considering his relationship with Julia, who was now giving him a massage and inviting him to a al, it was really difficult for him to refuse.
"I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to co. I may not be free tomorrow."
Jacob could only find an excuse to delay it temporarily. He didn't know if he would be free tomorrow, so he could only wait until tonight to ask his grandfather before making a decision.
When Julia heard Jacob's noncommittal response, she felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. When had she ever given soone a shoulder massage like this? Not only did Jacob not appreciate it, he also complained that her technique wasn't good. The most irritating thing was that he actually said she was only worth 15 PokéDollars an hour, and now he was politely rejecting her.
But Julia wasn't angry. While rubbing Jacob's shoulders, she lowered her head, leaned close to Jacob's ear, and whispered softly, "Jacob, you have to co, because my mother knows that you teased ."
"Ms. Julia, please don't make accusations. When did I ever tease you?" Jacob was startled and wanted to stand up, but Julia held down his shoulders with both hands. Jacob was also afraid that his sudden movent would hurt Julia, so he could only ask while sitting on the chair.
"You...you told
not to call you Dr. Jacob, and asked
how I knew you were older. You told
to keep a low profile and then asked
to call you Dr. Jacob." Julia blushed and said, "I went back and asked my mom about it."
"..."
Jacob suddenly felt that there was no justice in the world. His glorious image seed to have completely collapsed. The key point was that Raya knew about this. It was generous enough that she didn't confront him. She even invited him to dinner. This was clearly a setup, and he was walking right into it like a fool.
"I was just kidding," Julia looked at Jacob's expression and was quite satisfied with his reaction. She was already grinning from ear to ear.
"Hmm?" Looking up and seeing Julia's smiling face, Jacob knew that he had been fooled by this young woman.
He had spent the whole day trying to be clever, only to be outsmarted in the end.
At this mont, Julia suddenly lowered her head, gently put her mouth close to Jacob's ear, and said softly: "Dr. Jacob, you must co tomorrow. I promised my mother that I would definitely invite you. Don't let
down."
"If I don't co, you won't tell your mother about this, right?" Jacob couldn't help but ask.
Jacob's words made Julia's smile disappear. She stared at him with a serious look and said in a firm tone: "Jacob, I will not threaten you or force you. If you don't want to co, you can tell
directly. Although I will be sad, I will not tell my mother about this. Whether you believe it or not, I would never threaten you."
Sitting on the chair, Jacob raised his head and looked at the serious expression of the young woman. He knew that he had said sothing inappropriate and quickly responded, "Okay, okay, I said sothing wrong. I will call my grandfather tonight and let you know if I'm free tomorrow morning. The exclusive Z-Move announcent has been made, and there may be interviews. I can't guarantee whether I can make ti."
"Thank you, Jacob, you're so nice. Co, let
rub your shoulders again."
"No thanks, I still want to keep my arms."
At that mont, Jacob suddenly saw two figures walking into the laboratory. He looked closely and found that they were Instructor Nina and Harper. Nina looked at him coldly, and then at Julia who was rubbing his shoulders.
This frightened Jacob so much that he quickly stood up from his chair. Wait, wasn't there an energy training class in the afternoon? Shouldn't Instructor Nina be training in the restricted area? Why was she here? And what was Harper doing beside her?
"Jacob, Instructor Nina is looking for you. I told her that you and Julia were having a practice battle, so I brought her here to find you." Harper's face also looked uncomfortable.
Julia's neck and face turned red. She silently withdrew her hand, stood aside, lowered her head, and remained silent.
"Instructor Nina, why are you here? If you have anything to say, you could just tell
directly. Why did you have to co here in person?" Jacob quickly stood up and said with an awkward smile.
"Jacob, co outside. I have sothing to talk to you about." Instructor Nina's voice was calm and cold, as if she hadn't seen what had just happened.
