World Domination Begins With Getting a System in a Modern World-Chapter 32: Shocked And Proud Leslie

James was in his room, checking on the memecoin's progress and stats, when he heard Leslie's voice from downstairs.

"James! Some idiot parked a car outside our house. Do you know who it is?"

James didn't know how to respond when he heard her question. He understood that she and Patty would naturally be curious when they see the car parked outside, but he didn't expect Leslie's words.

Hilarious. Who is he kidding? Of course, he did expect it. James would had found it strange if she didn't react the way she did.

"Her tongue is as sharp as ever." James smiled, as he picked up his car key and stood up.

He put the car key into his pocket and walked to the door of his room, and opened it to find Leslie already standing there.

"Hey, Leslie," he said, smiling.

"James? Why do you have that creepy smile on your face?" Leslie asked suspiciously, when she saw James smiling at her.

"What do you mean creepy? Isn't this how I always smile?" James asked, with the smile on his face deepening.

"This isn't your normal smile. This smile of yours is your version of the infamous villainous smirk. And you always do it when you're up to something," Leslie replied, and quickly took a step back, making sure to put enough distance between her and James, in case he wants to try anything.

She doesn't want to be caught unaware and fall for any of his prank.

James saw Leslie's action and bursted out in laughter. He doesn't know why but he enjoys it every time he puts Leslie on edge.

After a couple of seconds of laughing heartily, he stopped and walked to Leslie, who immediately, started increasing the distance between them.

"Why are you running? I'm not playing any prank on you. Follow me, there's something I want to show you," James said, and started walking down the stairs.

He stopped halfway when he noticed that Leslie wasn't following him. He saw that she was still standing where she was and looking at him suspiciously.

"Come on. I want to show you something," James said, with a serious face, as he tried to stop smiling.

He knew that the reason why Leslie was looking at him suspiciously was because of the mischievous smile on his face, but he couldn't stop the smile from coming on. Maybe it was because he actually has some mischief he might want to pull on her.

Leslie was very suspicious of James. She felt that following him, would be her falling into whatever trap he's setting, but she was also very curious to know what he wants to show her.

She decided to bite the bullet and follow him. Even if he tries something, she would get back at him one way or the other. Leslie thought of this and smiled, as she started walking towards James.

James laughed internally when he saw Leslie's smile. He knew exactly what she was thinking but to him, her thoughts actually made things all the more interesting.

The two of them went down the stairs and to the door. James opened it and walked out of the house, followed closely behind by Leslie.

He walked towards the car, and before he got to it, he brought out the car key from his pocket and pressed one of the buttons on it, and the car beeped.

James turned to look at Leslie and he saw her standing behind him, in utter shock, with her eyes widened and her mouth, slightly open.

Leslie couldn't believe what she just saw. She shook her head lightly, as she tried to compose herself but she still couldn't recover completely from the shock.

"Did James just...?" she mumbled in disbelief.

She slowly looked at his hand and she saw the car key he had just pressed. The next moment, tears slowly started streaming down her cheeks as she slowly walked to James, and hugged him tightly.

James was a little taken aback by Leslie's reaction but he understood why, and he smiled as he hugged her back.

The two of them stayed like that a couple of minutes, before Leslie finally let go. She looked at him and smiled proudly.

"Have you told my mom?" She asked.

"No. She will find out when she come back," James replied.

"She will be very proud." Leslie laughed.

"Yeah but she would probably be worried that I used all of my money to buy the car," James said, laughing.

"She most definitely will but knowing you, there's no way that you will do something like that," Leslie said, and James nodded, causing her to smile.

"Ok. I want you to go inside and get ready. I'm taking you and Patty out for dinner. We are going to someplace fancy. And I also have a surprise for the both of you," James said with a smile.

"What's the surprise?" Leslie asked curiously, while looking at James strangely.

"Why do people always ask that? How would it still be a surprise if I tell you now?" James asked, giving Leslie his smile of mischief.

Leslie saw that James wasn't going to answer her and she decided to go and start getting ready for the celebration dinner.

She walked back into the house, with James following behind her.

When they got into the house, Leslie went up to her room, while James stayed in the living room.

He took his seat on one of the sofas and turned on the TV to watch something to pass the time.

A few minutes later, James heard a knock on the door and the voice of a surprised Patty.

"James, there's a car parked right outside our house. Do you know who it belongs to?" She asked curiously.

"Huh?" She said in surprise and confusion, when she walked into the house.

She looked around curiously and found James seated on the sofa, looking at her with a smile.

"Welcome home, Patty." James greeted her.

"James, sweetheart!" Patty called out slowly, as she put her hands on her waist and looked at him with an expression that says "really?".

"What?" James asked with a surprised smile.

"Sweetheart, I thought you said you were going to make dinner? Are you done making it? Or did you forget because I don't smell anything." She said, with a slightly disappointed and a tired expression on her face.
