Tasked With Love [HTCS]

In California's laid-back streets, Alexander Wealth was the guy with a perpetual smile – warm, approachable, the kind people liked instantly. Except around Rita Wright. With her, he was guarded, his usual ease replaced by a cool distance. Rita was the 'don't-touch-me' type – tough, pry, and off-limits… but with Alex, she'd get this weirdly clingy. Childhood friend, always stepping into trouble trying to save him, and he'd play along, teasing her with a straight face.

Then the Cupid System dropped into his life, promising wealth if he played along. First task: take Rita out for lunch. To others, easy. To Alex, hard. He got her to agree… and it went okay. Now he's stuck: tell Rita the truth – he only got close because the System promised him wealth – or keep it a secret forever?
