"None."Bella's smile dropped. If none of the company hired him, who did then? Those are top notch companies that she piled up with hopes that he would get hired. She has even talked to the managers of some of the companies. "Then how did you get a job?"Jasper felt he needed to tell her the truth. After all, she's more than a friend already. She could keep his secret even if he wanted her not to. "I got hired as Raina William's personal bodyguard." He blurted out. Bella's brows furrowed in a deep frown. Raina Williams? The same popular Raina Williams?"Is this who I think it is?" She asked again unable to believe it. "Yes, she is." He nodded with a reply. Bella felt annoyed inside thinking about the fact that he just got a job with the devil's advocate. She has come across Raina a few times before and nothing good has been said about her. They once had an encounter where Raina drained her with red wine. She has hated Raina ever since, the rumors about her are very true. "What?!
The fact that he was too daring made her more angry. He wasn't scared of her at all. She checked out his dressing and frowned. "You're not dressed officially for work. You're now working for a very respectful and prestigious figure, you should know better than dress like this."Jasper narrowed his eyes, this woman was making him mad seriously. She didn't inform him beforehand and now she's complaining about his dressing? She just loves to nag for no reason doesn't she?"You don't expect me to dress like a clown everytime because of you. I was having dinner when you called me. Besides it's evening, why are you complaining?" He replied. "That's not for you to decide. I will not accept any useless behavior from you starting tonight." "And I won't work with someone as arrogant as you. You're too proud, you can have your job back. Get someone else to control." He fired at her. Raina was taken aback, she stared at him in shock. "You! How dare you talk to me that way?!" She fired back.
He remembered that he quitted working with her. He always plays his cards right, he felt like she would call him back. Though he didn't give himself very high hopes. "Get along? You should dump her ass while you still can. She will make your life a living hell, you don't want to get into trouble again do you?" "Steph that's enough. It's your brother's decision to work with her and I will respect it. As long as he is careful and doesn't get himself too involved with her, there is nothing to worry about." Miranda stopped her. "But mom, they don't know about his background yet. What if someone frames him after finding out his background, what will we do then?" Jasper glared at Stephanie. "You should mind your business Steph. That's my problem so let me deal with it.""You...""That's enough Stephanie. We should be happy for your brother and pray this job lasts for him. We should celebrate this." Miranda suggested. Stephanie rolled her eyes and walked into the kitchen. She is happy
~The next morning~He woke up early and got dressed in his suit. He dressed like a normal person working in a big company, secretly hoping his looks will please Raina this time around. He stared at himself in the mirror. He had good looks and a great feature, his blue eyes and brown hair match together. He knows the reason why a lot of girls drool over him. Girls except Raina, that girl is like a rock. She has never even acted like he has good looks or anything at all. He walked out of his room into the dining room. Stephanie already set the table, she smiled at how handsome her brother looked. "Why are you smiling Stephanie?" Jasper asked noticing his sister's mood. "I am imagining how your boss would drool when she see you." She replied. Ptff. That's impossible. Raina Williams won't even look at him as human, and now she will be drooling? Too impossible. "Nah. She's not interested in things like that. She is a very busy woman and would find it hard to check me out." He informe
"I'm going to make sure I uncover everything fishy about you. I know something is not right about you and I will find out what that is."Jasper bowed, "Be my guest."Jasper was confident in himself that he doesn't care if the world knows the truth about him anymore. If Raina finds out and refused to continue the contract, he will look for another job elsewhere. Life can't be that hard for a person. Kelvin felt something was fishy about Jasper. He didn't want to raise the question yet until his suspicions are correct. He wanted to tell Raina about it when he has gathered enough evidence to back up his claim. For some reason, he did feel like Jasper was right. He does have a crush on Raina but he has never let it show because it won't yield to anything. Raina seems to want no man in her life, and especially not her employee. Raina would only see him as a lowlife, so he is discouraged. However seeing Jasper made him feel inferior. He wanted to send Jasper away because of his gut feeli
Bella slept on Jasper's bed with him. She kept looking at his face till she fell asleep. The storm made things easier for her. Jasper hugged her due to her fear, she felt very happy about it. They didn't talk much after dinner as Jasper was very tired. Bella's main goal was to spend the night beside him even if they do nothing together. And Jasper being a gentleman did nothing to her, or perhaps he doesn't find her attractive?Morning came and Jasper woke up when his alarm rang. He stretched his hands opening his eyes only to find Bella gone. He thought that perhaps she was in the bathroom but she wasn't. He decided to take his bath and go out. He met his mother and sister getting ready for breakfast as usual. There was no sign of Bella. He went back to his room to properly dress up, he found a note under his pillow finally. ~If you found this, I already went home. I didn't want to wake you up. Thanks for the hospitality, I'll see you later. Bella~He smiled in satisfaction, at lea
"He is my new bodyguard and not whatever you are thinking he is. That can never happen and you know that." Raina told them. "I don't mind that happening. That man is to die for." Freida emphasized. "I will force a full chicken into your mouth if you don't stop talking Freida!" Madam Diane threatened making her shut up immediately. "Why didn't you tell us about your new driver or whatever he is. You could have told your dad you needed one and he'll get you one." "There is no need to tell you anything since I already hired him. Besides he's saved my life twice between two days." "Yeah, but you are never considerate and you disregard people's feelings. How come you gave him a job just because of that?" Sam asked. Raina had gotten enough breakfast. She got up and headed outside ignoring her brother's question. She used that as an opportunity to escape their numerous questions. She met Jasper already waiting for her in front of the car. She felt moved instantly, but she did well in
Jasper's expression changed when he heard about his private life. "Let's go." He said to Kelvin. Kelvin took Jasper to his own personal office and began. "What are your motives in working for President Raina. I know all about you and what you can do. Someone like you shouldn't be working with people like the president." Jasper folded his arms, "Can you be specific? What did you find out about me?"Kelvin laughed in mockery, "Is there more shady things for me to find out about you than what I already did? Are you saying I haven't seen anything at all?""You're still not answering my question."Kelvin stopped laughing and gave him a cold stare. "That you Jasper Smith has a very powerful criminal record in the past. That's why you hardly get a good job or last long in your other jobs.""So? Is that all or is there more?" Jasper asked again. Kelvin's anger rose up. Raina was right when she said Jasper is rude and arrogant. How can he not care about what he just said. He's acting lik
