Building The Perfect Harem With My Heavenly Desire System-Chapter 19: I Want You To Pretend To Be My Boyfriend

Chapter 19

"Yeah! I’m done, you can come in now."

The door pushed open, and Nyx walked in, looking enchanting as always. She paused the moment her eyes landed on Alex. For a couple of seconds, she stood there slightly stunned, before regaining herself, and gave a small approving nod.

"Not bad. At least now you look more presentable. But do make sure not to attract too much female attention when we are at the gathering. I don’t want to deal with a lot of jealous women tonight."

’Look who’s talking. If I were to accompany you, I know that a lot of men there would literally wish to kill me.’ he thought to himself sarcastically while resisting the urge to roll his eyes.

"Alright enough of that, let’s go."

They walked down the hallway, entered the elevator and went straight down. After a while, they finally arrived at the red Lamborghini Aventador sports car parked in front of the villa. As Alex stared at the car, he couldn’t help but feel slightly melancholic.

He had always wanted to own a Lamborghini in his past life, but due to his low salary that could barely cover his expenses, and most of it that was spent on his so-called family—he couldn’t achieve that dream. But now? He was really about to ride in one, though just not as the owner. Looks like life really had a twisted sense of humor.

Nyx, who had already taken her seat inside the car, turned back when she noticed he hadn’t gotten in. She found him looking at the car in a daze and snapped her fingers to pull him out of his thoughts.

"What is running through that pretty mind of yours? I hope you’re not planning on stealing my car," She said with an amused look in her eyes.

"No no. I was just admiring the car, and noticed that it looks pretty nice."

"Yes, it is nice... You know what? Maybe if you win later, I’ll give you the keys to the car, and make you its new owner."

"Wait, really?!"

"Yes... But there will be no need for me to give you your money. So what do you think about that?"

"That sounds like a bad idea. Sorry I don’t want the car anymore, infact now that I look at it more, it kind of looks icky."

"That’s what I thought, now get your butt on the seat, so that we can leave."

"Hmmm."

...The drive was a one hour journey before they finally arrived at a massive luxurious building, lined with well uniformed huge, bulky guards.

Each guard looked like a person who could at least handle two to three people with ease. A much higher upgrade than the ones he fought at the casino last time. At the entrance sat various expensive cars, ranging from Maybach to Rolls-Royces.

Alex felt the urge to look around with awe, but a sharp glance from Nyx told him not to embarrass her. As Nyx stepped out with a calm demeanor, the guards at the entrance instantly bowed respectfully the moment they saw her. Without a word, she handed the keys to an attendant, who bowed slightly before driving the Lamborghini away.

Alex followed behind her, adjusting his cuffs subtly as he took in the towering building before him. The glass exterior reflected the warm sunlight, making the entire structure glow with quiet extravagance.

A guard moved forward and politely opened the grand door for them.

"Welcome, Miss Nyx."

She gave a small nod and walked in. Alex followed behind her, while trying to act calm and indifferent to the wealth surrounding him. It wasn’t easy, but he refused to look like a country bumpkin, who was seeing luxury for the first time.

Inside, the lobby was even more luxurious than the exterior. A beautiful diamond studded chandelier hung from high above, casting a warm glow across the polished marble floor. Groups of well dressed young men and women stood in small circles with a glass of champagne in their hands, while chatting and laughing with one another. They were likely the children of powerful figures, who attended with their parents to learn the art of socializing.

The moment Nyx entered, their gazes shifted towards her. The men’s eyes shone with a lustful, predatory gleam, while the women shot her gazes filled with jealousy.

Then their attention shifted to the handsome young man walking beside her. Immediately the women’s eyes lit up with curiosity and interest while the men’s expression turned cold and wary.

Alex raised his eyebrow up, slightly surprised but then he smirked. Nyx noticed his expression and leaned slightly closer to him as they walked and whispered.

"Remember, you are here to represent me, so stay close and do not make a fool of yourself or embarrass me."

"Ok I’ll try to keep that in mind."

As they moved deeper into the hall, various important looking figures nodded respectfully at her. Then he caught faint whispers.

"That should be Nyx. So she actually showed up."

"Wow, she’s even more beautiful in person. But who’s the guy besides her? Because as far as I can remember, she usually likes to bring that babyfaced bodyguard."

"Maybe she decided to bring a male escort today. Still, why him? She could have taken me. I would have been more than happy to be her escort."

"Ohh please Harold. Everyone knows you as a lustful man whose greed knows no bound. Do you expect one of the most powerful women around to even know who you are, let alone invite you? Besides, look at the kid and yourself, you should know who’s more handsome."

"Screw you, John. Don’t think I don’t know that you’re supporting the kid because he fits your type. After all, everyone knows that you’re into good-looking boys."

"Hahaha. Guilty as charged."

Alex felt a chill run through his spine. What kind of shameless bastards were these? Sorry but he was only interested in women, and not just any women, but beautiful ones.

Soon they reached a massive round table designed with gold inlays and a glass surface reflecting the chandelier light near the center of the room. It was surrounded by plush, expensive looking seats, where several old powerful bigshots were already seated with their attractive female partners.

The moment Nyx approached, a few of them straightened up, while others openly let their eyes wander over her breathtaking curves. Their female partners glared at her with jealousy but didn’t dare to protest against the underworld queen with unimaginable power.

One of the men, a silver haired man with an ugly face and a lewd smile decided to try his luck.

"Well, well, well. So the underworld queen finally decided to grace us with her presence... I must say you sure do look lovely tonight."

But Nyx ignored him and took her seat, causing the silver haired man’s smile to twitch as his face turned a bright shade of red. He wanted to continue but later decided not to embarrass himself any further.

Alex hovered awkwardly behind her.

"Uh... where do I sit?"

Nyx glanced at the empty chair beside her and pointed at it. The moment Alex sat down, the door immediately swung open. Then a tall, slightly good-looking young man with golden hair and blue eyes, dressed in a white designer suit and wearing a gold Rolex watch on his right hand, walked in. He was surrounded by various influential people and celebrities who were all trying to flatter him, but he didn’t pay them any attention, instead his gaze was locked entirely on Nyx.

Nyx’s face instantly changed. She leaned slightly toward Alex and whispered.

"I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend."
