Supreme Casanova: Ultimate Harem System-Chapter 220: You Must Have A Boyfriend, Right?
Hugo stood off to the side, pretending to admire the party decorations while secretly stealing glances at Ariana.
His eyes were hooded and his hands was placed on a flower pot as if admiring the beauty of the fake plant, but his pupils were completely focused on her wonderful figure.
She was standing a few feet away, giving sharp, precise instructions to one of her workers.
The cute smile on her face from earlier was completely gone, replaced with a stern and focused expression on her small face.
"That’s not right," she said, pointing at the neon LED lights.
It had been arranged to form a majestic LED art of Collins’ nickname in glowing blue neon lights. It was placed right at the centre of the spacious wall and looked quite cool.
"The calligraphy of the writing isn’t good enough. I need the letters to be smoother, more refined. The name C-Ray has to pop, not look like a squiggly kindergarten doodle!"
Hugo raised an eyebrow. Calligraphy of the writing? What was she, a poet?
It already looked perfect to him, what was still wrong with it? And how was it meant to pop?!
Still, even with her being super serious and focused and muttering decoration garbage, he couldn’t help but admire how gorgeous she looked.
There was just something about the way she took charge, her expressive face lighting up as she worked.
It was completely obvious that she was very passionate about her job and loved doing what she did.
In short, she was a workaholic.
She was a workaholic, sure, but damn, she was an adorable one. Hugo would have loved to spend time getting to know more about her and he still did.
But there was a big problem.
The problem?
She hadn’t paid him any attention since Collins introduced them.
Hugo sighed dramatically in his head. ’This woman is a boss lady through and through. No distractions, no small talk. Just pure business.’
Heck, she didn’t even spare him another glance the moment she got into the zone. Hugo had walked by her 11 times already and she hadn’t even batted her long lashes!
But he, Hugo, was not a man who accepted defeat easily. He was a very determined man.
Especially when it came to getting sexy chicks, he was as focused and determined as an old general. But he was missing something a good general always had...
He needed a strategy. A masterplan.
He crossed his arms, eyes narrowing as his mind kicked into overdrive. ’How do I get her attention without looking clingy or annoying?’
Hugo was no longer a complete amateur. He knew that interrupting a woman when she was so focused and concentrated on her work was very risky.
If he didn’t pull it off properly, he would become a distraction instead and would be promptly shut down by her.
He had to come in in a way that took her attention away from the job and on him, but not too much to be considered a distraction.
So how to do that? At first his mind came up with 3 plans.
Plan A: Walk up to her and compliment her work? Too generic. It is quite difficult to start a string conversation that way. She might just say "thanks" and move on.
That would be disastrous.
Plan B: "Accidentally" trip near her and have a dramatic fall so she has to catch him? No. Too risky.
Not only would it be weird for a lady to catch him which would mess up the chemistry, he might actually break something.
Besides, she was so small her hands probably wouldn’t make it around his waist in time.
Plan C: Pretend to be interested in decorations and ask her a bunch of questions? No way. She’d see through that in a second.
She was a beautiful woman. She had a lot of toasters and was in he know. Such baby tricks wouldn’t work.
One plan after another, he formulated and discarded. Nothing felt right.
But just as he was about to give up, fate smiled upon him.

Ariana was trying to hang a golden balloon on a hook. And the hook… was way too high for her.
She was standing on her tiptoes, stretching as much as she could, her arms flailing as she tried to reach. But it was hopeless. She was just too short.

There was no ladder around and her workers were busy in the other room.
Hugo’s lips curled into a slow, victorious grin.
’Oh. My. God.’
’The heavens have blessed me with a divine opportunity!’
He moved in.
Silently, smoothly, he stepped up beside her. His timing? Impeccable. His presence? Undeniable.
Modelling Mastery at it’s peak made his movements extremely fluid and even cinematic!
"Let me help you," he said in a deep, confident voice, reaching out and effortlessly plucking the balloon from her small hands.
Ariana blinked in surprise, stepping back as he smoothly attached the balloon to the hook without breaking a sweat.
Hugo stepped down and turned to her with a teasing smirk. "You know, this would’ve been impossible for me a few months ago."
Ariana raised an eyebrow, amused. "Oh? And why’s that?"
Hugo chuckled, crossing his arms. "Because back then, I was just a tiny little man—barely taller than you."
Ariana gasped dramatically. "No way!"
"Yep. I had to wear four-inch heels just to reach the top shelf in the grocery store."
She burst into laughter, and Hugo felt his ego swell. Yes! Progress!
"Well," Ariana said, placing a hand on her hip. "I guess it’s a good thing you grew. Otherwise, you’d still be struggling with those shelves."
Hugo winked. "Exactly. And now? I can help short queens like yourself reach the impossible."
Ariana giggled again, clearly enjoying the playful banter.
Hugo decided to push his luck.
"So," he said, tilting his head slightly, "a gorgeous, talented decorator like you… you must have a boyfriend, right?"
