Juliet bounced up and down on the balls of her feet as she waited for the kettle to heat up. A terrible incident should have taken place the night before however she had, had yet to hear any news. For the past couple of years she'd been waiting for the true Female Lead to be transmigrated. She was eager to get on with the story and was even a little exited to see Xiang Long.

'A little?!" You've spent the past hour deciding what to wear!!'

"Opal. I am a celebrity, it is perfectly normal for me to pay extra attention to how I look even if I'm just having a casual hang out with a good friend"

'A candle lit dinner at one of the most expensive and ROMANTIC restaurants in the city, doesn't sound very casual to me'

"What would you know about casual hangouts, Opal?" Juliet waves her hand dismissively.

'I'll have you know that I am very well liked among the other systems!'

Juliet felt a retort on her lips but instead she took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry for jabbing at you. You're right, I do like her as more than a friend."

Opal felt a little taken a back. Was they're good for nothing host actually communicating their thoughts and feelings with Opal???? Did that couples therapy session actually work?!?!?

"But I don't know if she feels the same way. And I can't risk failing the mission just because of my personal feelings getting in the way."

Juliets eyes narrowed.

"Because if I fail, than she dies."

Opal wasn't sure what to say after that. They didn't know their host could be so serious and professional. Opal even felt a little bad for their host who had effectively friend zoned herself.

The kettle began to beep loudly at the same time as a new message appeared on her phone screen. Hastily she poured herself a cup of tea while looking down at her phone.

'Hey, just making sure we are still on for this tonight?'

'Yes! Totally!'

Juliet replied, she was in fact going on a date (well friendly hangout, but she wished it was a date) with the Villainess this evening.
