JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 78
Alarm bells rang in the sniper’s mind as Jim looked straight up at him. “What the fuck? Why is he…” He immediately aborted the mission and ran away with all possible haste.He climbed down the building, taking the stairs and then jumped over the back wall before getting into his rented car. However, just as turned the key on, a gun was pointing toward him from the other side of the window.“Show me your hands, or I’ll shoot you in three, two…” Jim stepped to his left and revealed himself as the sniper lifted both his hands.“Who told you that I was coming?” the sniper coming.“You don’t get to ask questions,” Jim said. “Why don’t you tell me everything you know, and then let me decide if it’s worth sparing you or not?”The sniper frowned and then told him what he knew.“So, you are telling me, the current deputy chief of police has sent you a message, telling you to deal with me?” Jim couldn’t help but frown. “Why would someone at such a high position want to kill me?”“Isn’t it obvio
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 79
Jim didn’t sleep that night. Thanks to the cloud wine he had consumed, he was able to stay awake till morning without feeling very tired. There were times when he exercised, watched comedy shows or bits of movies on his mobile.Nevertheless, he ended up falling asleep at some point.In the morning, Rena came to his room to get her dose of the mysterious liquid, but Jim was snoring like a pig while squatting on the couch. Knowing how difficult it’d be to wake him up when he’s in this state and get away from him, she went to work.Moments after Rena left, Shiney came to his room. Her jaw slackened when she saw him sleeping in a squatted position, with his neck resting on the top part of the couch. “H-How did he fall asleep in that tiring position? This gym-freak! He remembers telling me that he had a surprise for me this morning, didn’t he? How could he be sleeping like this then?”A part of her didn’t want to disturb his sleep, but another part of her couldn’t wait to see what he prepa

Rena showed Austin one of the designs she thought for the main hall on the top floor, where the top financiers of Draknor Finance often meet.“So, you want to turn the pillars into elephant legs and use the dome structure above to build an elephant head at the top,” Austin could clearly see everything because she had drawn her imagination vividly on the paper. The elephant head was lifting up the Draknor Finance symbol with its trunk. It was wonderful to see, but Austin didn’t smile. “It seems like a nice idea. People roaming inside the hall will not think of the pillars as elephant legs, but it makes sense when they look at the full picture. However, isn't an elephant too simple of a symbol? The word Draknor sounds close to a dragon, so why don’t you turn it into a dragon head?”“Dragon would have a negative impact on many people because of the religious reasons,” Rena opined. “But if it's an elephant, it’s a kind and benevolent creature, but if you mess with it, it will destroy you.

“Can you please give me your number?” the receptionist with her pretty round eyes asked expectantly.“I’ll ask my wife and then give you the answer,” Jim said and kept walking.She didn’t follow him anymore. “Hmph, just because he looks ‘a little’ pretty, he thinks so highly of himself.” She went back to her desk. “I couldn’t stop him. I hope he won’t bother Mr. Austin too much. I’ll definitely trouble him when he’s exiting the building.”On the top floor, Jim stepped out of the elevator, and he caught many eyes.Many people kept looking at him without even blinking, especially women. As he walked past them, they began to gossip, wondering who he was. They thought he came to talk with the boss, but Jim eventually stopped by Rena’s room.“Why did he stop at her room?”“That workaholic has been on a luck streak lately, hasn’t she?”“Maybe he’s got the wrong room?”“I hope so.”While most eyes were still locked to Jim, he knocked a couple of times before entering the room.Rena, who was

Jim and Rena entered the elevator. The two of them were alone inside, so Jim said, “Do you feel bad?”Rena didn’t say anything.“I don’t,” Jim’s words surprised her. “When I used to work at Drake’s, there were customers who mocked my dad for not cooking foods how they preferred. They called him a useless chef, when I think he’s one of the best chefs that ever walked the earth. When someone like him receives insults and does not fight back, why should I, who's not even a tenth as skillful as him, feel hurt by how others perceive of me when I told them the truth? There will always be those who’ll laugh at me whether I tell them I’m a house-husband or a chef at some restaurant. So, I think the best thing to do is to not let others validate our life.” He gently curled his arm around her shoulder. “As long as we both understand each other, nothing will come in between us. Not even air.” He turned her and pressed her body against his body.“There’s a camera here, Jim,” Rena uttered almost e
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 83
As Jim and Rena exited the company building, the guard saluted to them. It was his way of apologizing for trying to stop Jim. The guard also had great respect for Rena because she once stopped Austin from removing from his job because he was chewing a bubble gum while standing guard.Jim was very happy right now, not because the guard saluted him but because he was going to sit in the Lamborghini with his wife. How wonderful and cool will this journey be? Just thinking about it made butterflies do hip-hop dance in his heart.As expected, Rena went to her car, and he quickly opened the door for her.“You want to drive?” Rena asked.“Me?” Jim was very surprised. “I… I never drove a luxury car. I don’t know how to…”“It’s no big deal,” Rena said. She was also in a very happy mood. “I will tell you, so you just have to follow my words.”“If you say so,” Jim nodded. While sitting on the side when his wife was driving may give him a good feeling, this option felt much more exciting. Jim wan
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 84
When was the last time Jim had suffered a stomach ache and had to rush for the toilet? He didn’t remember. It probably never happened after he reached his adolescence because he stopped eating junk food before he even grew a mustache.However, right now, there was no bathroom around, and Jim had to run into nature. He didn’t care if there was a beer or an elk in the woods. He had to release the pressure cooking in his lower abdomen, or he was afraid of doing the worst possible thing a grown man could do.Jim went a bit far from the car so that nobody would be able to see or hear his noises. And his bottom blasted everything out like a water pump, and the noise was uncontrollable. The flow was unstoppable. For two whole minutes, it was like a one-sided show. All Jim could do was let his intestines do the work.Just when he thought it was over, and he should start wiping his ass, his stomach would growl again, forcing him to keep in his squatting position. The problem wasn’t that he cou
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 85
Jim's intestines weren’t cutting him any slack. Neither did his stomach. Both hurt quite a bit, making it impossible for him to finish the dreadful job in the bushes and return to his car so that he could go home and drink something and rest for the rest of the day. After all, he didn’t believe he could converse with Carsen given how terribly he was feeling at the moment. Suddenly, he heard the sound of something crashing in the distance. He couldn’t see anything, but he definitely heard it. Even after Joe had taken his powers away, the noise was still clearly audible. That little shock he received was able to stop the pain in his stomach. He wanted to make sure if Rena was safe or not. Forcing bearing all the pain in his gut, he immediately plucked as much grass and leaves he could find and wiped his ass. He couldn’t wipe hard because that little stimulation was stirring his intestines again. Nevertheless, he did his best to finish his job and then put his pants back on before scut
