JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 39
Austin brought Lola and Rena to Shrimp’s Delight, a relatively small but great restaurant known for their seafood.Seeing Austin, a weekly customer, the manager quickly came over to greet him and escort him to one of the spacious tables with no other table nearby.“Women first,” Austin told them to order.“You’re the experienced customer, so we’ll trust your decision,” Lola said, and Rena agreed.Austin smiled with content and ordered just three dishes, excluding the desserts. After the manager noted the list and left, Lola said, “I have never seen restaurant managers work like a waiter. It just shows how much the manager of this restaurant respects you.”Austin pointed toward the painting on the wall. “I sold one of my dad’s paintings to them for a small price, so they treat me as a VIP customer.”“Oh…” Lola just nodded.“Isn’t your dad’s painting a bit too personal to be given away to others?” Rena asked a question which Lola felt was unnecessary.“Not really, because the owner of t

“Julia…” Marc’s expression turned slightly serious. “I know the reason you came here, but… there’s nothing I can do for you. I take every penny from her, so I’m afraid I can’t help you.” “It’s okay, Brother. I came here to talk with Lola anyway,” Julia smiled softly. Jim could see some stress on Julia’s forehead. He couldn’t help but pity her. About five years ago, Julia’s family was doing well. They weren’t rich, but they weren’t poor by any means. When Lola went to Julia’s home, she was short on money, so she asked for 2500 dollars from Julia so she could buy dresses for her daughters. Julia gave the money after Lola promised to return the money within a couple of months. However, Lola didn’t give the money back. Neither did she buy clothes for Rena or Shiney. Only Lola knew what she did with that money. Back then, Julia didn’t care that much because she wasn’t in an urgent need of money. She thought her sister-in-law would eventually pay her. She was willing to forget if Lola ne

The next morning.Bob Shriner woke up alone in his villa, and all the work was being taken care of by the butler and the maid. With millions of dollars sitting in his bank account, he could have everything he needed, except that he felt lonely.“Rena Adams…” he thought about her while reading a newspaper. “She’s also from the arts background. She’ll be a good company, but the problem is that she said she doesn’t want to divorce her husband. Her mother asked for some time, but she didn’t say how long I should wait.”Just then, a car stopped outside, and Lola stepped out.“Talk about the devil…” Bob acted like he was reading a newspaper to appear busy.Lola came in with a confident smile on her face and sat down on the couch. “Mr. Bob, how are you doing?”“Mm?” Bob pulled the newspaper down and looked at her. “Mrs. Lola. What a surprise. I was thinking about calling you to give you a time limit, but you came here yourself. Don’t tell me, you brought 500,000 dollars with you. Is the mone

After preparing breakfast, Jim went to his gym. To his surprise, Shiney was already there, doing exercises, while wearing skimpy clothes. Her boobs and butt were mostly showing.Jim, who was about to toss his cap away, put the cap back on, then turned back and left the room.“Tsk,” Shiney didn’t like that. “Was he disappointed to see me like this? What must I do for him to like me? What must I do for him to let go of my sister? She spends most of her time in the office, but I’m always here. Why doesn’t he take advantage of me, even though I give him signals so blatantly? I’m tired of planning on my own. I have to step up. I need to ask for tips from someone who knows how to seduce people.”She checked online and found someone. “Mm? Who’s this? A professional seducer? Is there such a job? Well, who cares, she seems to be popular. She has many online followers. And her clothing sense definitely piques my interest. Hehe. Veronica Sterling… I hope you’ll be my guiding light and change my

At Julia’s house. Julia was busy with her tailoring work. Her son was watching television while smoking a cigar. “Mom, I need some money.” “I don’t have a dime to give to you,” Julia blurted. “If you want money, then find a job. Until then, I’ll feed you and let you stay under this roof. That’s all I’m going to do for you. Don’t expect more from me because my health isn’t as good as it was. The overwork is slowly getting to me.” “Why do you waste your money on the court case?” her son, Daniel, snorted. “You won’t be able to bring Dad out with the little bit of money you are giving to the lawyer. All you’re doing is filling his pockets. When will you get that?” “Then what do you want me to do?” she howled. “Give YOU money so you can smoke and drink yourself to death?” “No, Mom. I was asking for money to buy some chocolates. Today is your birthday, right?” Daniel said, surprising her. “I will distribute the chocolates to the neighbors. I’m sure it’ll help you bring some clients.” “

Daniel came home about two hours later. He didn’t see Jim’s footwear outside, so he smiled and entered quickly. “Mom, where’s the cake?” he asked aloud, pulling the curtain aside.To his shock, Jim was right inside, watching the TV. “Welcome, Danny. We’ve been waiting for you.”“Eek!” Daniel saw that there was a stick on the couch. “W-What’s that stick for?”“Why would a man need a stick? You are smart enough to know that, don’t you?” Jim casually replied. “Your mother has told me all the things you’ve been doing. I thought I disciplined you enough last time, but it looks like you’ve grown the tail once again. So, I’m here to once again cut that tail, this time not through beating, of course.”“Bullshit. You have the stick, so what are you saying?”“You’ll know soon.”Soon, Julia brought a big wooden box from the basement. It was quite heavy for her, so Jim quickly helped her.“Mom, those are grandpa’s guns!” Daniel’s eyes widened. “Don’t tell me, you’re giving them to him?!”Julia w

Jim took Daniel to the gun range, and Daniel was very surprised to see that there really was a tennis court where there were rich boys and girls gathered.“I thought you were lying to get me to go with you, but I was wrong,” Daniel said. “Let us go into that stadium, so we can also play?”“I don’t have the money to get a pass into that place,” Jim said, sounding a little pitiful. “I never promised anything except teaching you how to use guns. And that’s what I’m going to do.”“But…” Daniel couldn’t take his eyes off the girls that were wearing skirts and were playing among themselves. “I’ve dreamed of rich girls falling for me. Help me make one of those girls fall for me, Jim.”“You don’t have a job, and worse, you have nasty habits. Knowing that, I can’t possibly waste a girl’s time by pairing her with you,” Jim’s blunt reply shocked Daniel.“I-If I impress you with my shooting skills, then will you introduce one of the girls to me?” Daniel asked.“Haha, do you think I’m a broker or
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 46
Jim returned home at around nine in the night. He put the big wooden box in the bushes before entering the house.Lola and Marc were having dinner. Seeing Jim, Lola quickly said, “Where the hell did you go, Jim? The day your wife leaves the country, you go out and have fun! How many women did you sleep with?”“Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?” Jim snorted. “Don’t talk rubbish without any proof.”“Then tell me where you went? You disappeared in the morning and are returning right now,” Lola blurted. “What does a man like you who has no friends or job do for twelve hours outside?”“That’s none of your business, Aunt,” Jim retorted. “Did you ever tell me what you do outside the house? No, you don’t have to tell me, but do you at least tell your own husband where you’re going?”Lola frowned. “Are you trying to put a wedge between me and my husband?” she slapped the table in anger. “Every time I step out of the house, I multiply our money before I come back into the house. I’m th
