Chapter 1: The Suit-Wearing Demon and the Lonely Bunny
"I hired you to work, not to stand there shaking like this!"
The deep, powerful voice boomed through the spacious office decorated in somber tones on the top floor of the skyscraper. 'Melda' or 'Mel,' the petite IT staff member, flinched so much that her thick-framed glasses almost slipped off her nose.
She looked down at the expensive carpet, her hands clenched tightly together, sweat pouring down her face.
"S...sorry, Sir, it's just... the server system..."
"I don't want excuses. I want results!"
'Alan,' the young man who owned the technology business empire she was standing in front of, rose from his black leather chair. His nearly 190-centimeter-tall frame strode around the desk towards her. Each step he took was intimidating and filled with a menacing aura that made every employee in the company shrink in fear.
Alan crossed his arms, looking at the female employee in front of him with a bored expression. The small woman in a worn-out oversized t-shirt and outdated jeans, with messy hair as if she had just woken up, was an image that irked someone as meticulous as him the most.
"In ten minutes, if you can't recover the data, get ready to pack your things and leave."
"Y-yes, sir! I'll handle it right away!"
Melda stammered her response before quickly ducking under the large desk to deal with the LAN cables and his personal server box. Her small hands trembled as she plugged in the power cord.
The smell of expensive perfume mixed with a faint scent of cigarettes lingered in the air. It was the signature scent of this demon boss, a scent that was chillingly fragrant yet made her knees weak with fear.
Alan looked down at the small figure huddled under his desk with an indifferent gaze. He saw only the small back trembling like a baby bird fallen into water.
'How annoying.' He thought to himself.
Women who lack confidence like this are the type he hates the most.
...
*9:30 PM at an old condominium located on the outskirts of the city*
"You demon! You bastard! You i***t! You lousy president!"
Melda threw her old backpack onto the sofa before sprawling out on it, venting her pent-up frustrations from the day by shouting at her boss.
That was close. She almost got fired today, but she thankfully managed to restore the system just in the nick of time.
"You can't get fired, Mel. You still have your mom's medical bills, rent, and groceries," she muttered to herself, placing a hand on her forehead.
As a junior IT employee, her salary barely covered her monthly expenses, but the mounting family responsibilities left her with no choice but to take on a side job. A side job that no one at the company knew about, and if they did, she wouldn't have a place in society.
Melda sighed deeply before getting up and walking to the mirror. Her slender hand removed the thick glasses, revealing the bright, large eyes hidden beneath. Beneath the oversized t-shirt, her skin was smooth and milky, and her figure surprisingly shapely.
She walked into the bathroom to wash away the exhaustion and awkwardness. When she emerged, the old Melda was gone.
She emerged as a woman in a black 'bunny girl' outfit trimmed with white lace. The shiny leather clung to her curves, accentuating her full bust that seemed on the verge of spilling out. Her fair legs, clad in fishnet stockings, looked enticing.
She wore a 'black lace mask' covering the upper half of her face, leaving only her full, rosy lips coated in glossy lipstick visible.
Melda styled her hair into beautiful curls, put on fluffy bunny ears, and sat in front of the computer, ready to go with dim pink lighting.
She took a deep breath, transforming her once shaky voice into a sweet, dreamy tone.
She clicked 'Go Live'.
"Hello, Daddy. Did you miss me?"
As soon as the video signal went live, the Velvet Live app's chat flooded like a torrent, with viewer numbers soaring into the thousands within seconds.
[Baby_Shark:] The bunny is here! Today's outfit is so tempting.
[Tony99:] Can I see some thigh, beautiful?
[LoveM:] Such a sweet voice. What will Mel show us tonight?
Melda, or under the alias 'Baby M', giggled playfully, leaning slightly towards the camera, pretending to adjust her shoulder strap.
"I'm so lonely today. Work's been so stressful. I wish Daddy could come and comfort me."
She spoke while imagining the erotic novel she had just finished reading last night, trying her best to mimic the seductive gestures of the heroine from the novel, even though she had zero real-life experience!
Ding!
A special notification sound chimed, accompanied by a golden firework effect bursting across the screen, with a golden banner scrolling across the username that made everyone in the room stop typing.
> The Emperor has entered the room.
'The Emperor' is a mysterious user who never revealed his identity but was the biggest spender in this app, and he... was her VVIP customer.
> The Emperor sent 'Super Castle' worth 50,000 Coins.
A gift worth over two thousand dollars was sent as soon as he entered. Melda's eyes widened, and she quickly clasped her hands in gratitude towards the camera.
"Th...thank you so much, Daddy Emperor! You're so generous to me, as always."
The chat room fell silent, awaiting the Emperor's command. Normally, he didn't ask for much, just for her to spin around or do cute gestures. But today... the message that appeared made Melda's skin crawl.
[The Emperor]: I'm annoyed today. My subordinates at work aren't meeting my expectations.
The message popped up again, in bold golden letters.
[The Emperor]: Moan my name now. Make me feel better... and I'll reward you tenfold.
