JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 367
As they headed to the restaurant, Shiney asked, “Why do you still want to work as a chef, Jim? With your skills, you could easily become a tutor and earn a lot of money, right?” “I’m not good enough to teach others, Shiney,” he replied. “Stop kidding. You’ve been cooking with Uncle Marcus since you could walk,” she retorted. “If you are not good enough to teach others, then no chef in this world is good enough to teach others.” “I’ve always watched my dad cook with care,” Jim said. “Even when cutting onions, he’d use different techniques for different dishes to bring out different flavors out of onions. Everyone I see him putting in so much effort for every single dish, it’s like a slap in my face, you know. It tells me to work hard every single day and never take anything in cooking for granted. My dad could tell if the salt and spices were perfect just from seeing the color of the dish, or by sniffing it, but I still have to taste it every single time. I’m nowhere near as good as

The moment Jim agreed with her idea, Shiney looked at Elisha, “You approve of what? Do you think your approval matters? When was the last time you looked at yourself in the mirror? I bet you think you’re a ten, but I tell you’re not even one. A thief thinks everyone steals. And you’re worse than any thief out there because all you think is about ruining others’ lives instead of living your own. Now, do you want me to keep talking about you, or is that enough?”Elisha’s mouth stayed open for a little bit. “I was trying to be friendly, and you treated me like I’m a bad person. Do you know that I’m recording this whole conversation? I will post this online and ruin your image!”“Good luck with that, Auntie,” Shiney said.Elisha gnashed her teeth. “How dare you call me Auntie! I’m not that older than you!” she picked up her cappuccino and threw it at Shiney.Shiney raised the window just in time. Nevertheless, a few drops fell inside the car.“This woman is crazy,” Jim opined. “She has a

At Draknor Finance.“This is your office now,” Steve Millman, the CEO of Draknor Finance, put keys to the chamber in Lola’s hand.“Thank you, Mr. Millman,” Lola spoke very respectfully. She didn’t show her excitement and was highly professional.“I’ll see you later then,” Steve said and left.It was a 1000 sqft chamber, with multiple subrooms in it. The main part of the chamber, the hall itself, was over 600 sq ft in area. There were refrigerators, coffeemakers, wine shelves, book shelves, magazine and newspaper holders, sofas that could be converted into beds and many more.But that wasn’t all.Lola walked to her majestic glass table where every item implicitly screamed quality.There was a holder for coupons from big stores, both offline and online. It was full of valid coupons which had at least fifty percent discount for everything.“Yeah, this is what is luxury,” Lola couldn’t help but smile as she felt like she was finally beginning to attain the power and freedom she had always

Lola came home with the divorce documents. “Rena, where are you? I brought the documents. You just need to sign them, and then go and get Jim to sign them. And it’ll all be over.”As she looked for Rena, she found her in the first floor’s living room, talking with a big man who was so huge Lola was startled by his sheer size.“W-Who is this man?” Lola asked, thinking for a second if this man was an intruder and was holding Rena hostage.“Hello, ma’am,” this big man introduced himself. “I’m Ronny. I’ve come to meet you.”“Meet me?”“Yes, Rena told me about you, and so I want to give you money for 20% interest rate,” Ronny said.“How much are we talking about?” Lola asked.“1 million dollars,” Ronny said.“What?” Lola’s eyes slightly widened.“Is that not enough?”“No, no, it’s much more than I expected, Mr. Ronny,” Lola smiled and looked at her daughter. “Rena, you didn’t ever tell me that you had such a precious friend.”“He’s a man of few words, Mom,” Rena said. “So I didn’t want to

After Marc called, Lola told Marc she’d come right away, but at the same time, she had to deal with Ronny, an important guest, as well.So she told him, “Mr. Ronny, I’m going to buy a restaurant right now. If you are interested, you can come and take a look. Maybe, you might like the restaurant and want to invest in it.”“Restaurant?” Ronny was very excited to hear that. “I would love to come with you.”“That’s great. What about you, Rena?” Lola looked at her daughter.“Of course, I’m coming, too, Mom,” she replied with a smile.Lola wondered how Rena was going to react when she would later realize that this restaurant was none other than Jim’s. Not wanting Rena to react crazily in front of others, she decided to tell the details right now. “The thing is… I’m going to buy Drake’s restaurant right now.”Rena looked only a little surprised.At this point, it wasn’t Rena speaking but a demon was speaking in her stead. The same was the case with Ronny, but his case was worse, in the sense

“It’s been so long since I came here,” Shiney was saying as she entered the restaurant with Jim.Jim was also conversing with her, so he didn’t recognize Lola’s car park outside the restaurant, either.So, it came as a big surprise to him when he walked into the restaurant and saw Bertha and Lola shaking hands.On top of that, Rena was sitting at the table. And then there’s Ronny among them? What the hell was going on?His feet stopped at the door. He couldn’t even take a step forward.“Mom, what are you doing here?” Shiney, however, was able to approach them rather easily. But after seeing the documents, she couldn’t help but brown. “What are you up to?”“Shiney…” Lola was happy to see her daughter once again. “I have good news for you. I bought this restaurant.”Her words exploded like thunder in Jim’s heart. Even Shiney was wide-eyed to hear that.“Y-You bought it? For what?” Shiney couldn’t help but ask.“How much longer do you want me to solely rely on finance business?” Lola rep

The people could only tell if the ground beneath them was rising or if the sky itself was falling, but the clouds were literally passing through the buildings, and some small clouds passed by the people as well.They were all only heavy clouds but thin clouds through which even the moonlight could pass through, though only those with sharp eyes could notice that.This phenomenon happened just after night has arrived which only made it much scarier to the people outside, though, some children were having fun by catching the clouds and trying to grab chunks of them.Shiney, who was still standing at the door, could see what was happening outside and was unnerved by it. But at the same time, she was worried about what was happening inside. She still did not think that it was due to Jim and Gabe that this unnatural phenomenon was happening because they did not even release their energies out yet.It was just their intent that clashed.At the same time, Enron was watching this scene throug

After twenty long seconds of torture, Jim stopped the rays of light that kept hitting Ronny and Rena.“Just tell us what you want, Hero of Hornlok,” the demons in Ronny cried out quickly. “We didn’t enter this man so could torture us. Tell us what you want.”“The name of the one that’s controlling these two,” Jim uttered. “Tell me everything you know.”“Enron Nimo,” the demon in Rena spoke. “He’s part of the Nimo tribe that uses blood ritual magic to communicate with us and use our powers to do great wonders.”“Enron Nimo… Where is he right now?” Jim asked.“He’s a master of black magic arts. You won’t be able to find him, Hero of Hornlok,” the demons said, cackling.Hornlok was what the Beast Dungeon was called many decades ago, and its name was erased from history for some reason. But the demons still very much knew and used this name even to this day.Jim’s countenance turned rageful, even though he was very much keeping it under control. “Get out of their bodies.”“But where can w
