Jack walked with steady steps, overcoming the obstacles he tried to face. Jamie's bodyguard tried to stand in his way, but with one signal from Jamie, he relented. The two of them stood tall amidst the deafening cheers of the nightclub. Colored lights bounced off the surface of their skin, creating sharp silhouettes among the swaying neon highlights.Jack's gaze was piercing, there was no room for regret or doubt. This is a serious meeting, important things to deal with."Jamie, we need to talk," Jack whispered, his voice containing a firm edge that couldn't be argued with.Jamie met Jack's gaze with a cold gaze. "Jack Ashworth, what are you looking for here?""We need to talk alone," Jack replied, his voice firm and sure.Jamie's gaze changed slightly, there was doubt in his eyes. After a few seconds of consideration, he nodded, giving permission. "Okay, talk about it here. My friends have no problem listening to what you have to say."In another corner of the room, the derisive laug
Gordon's face, previously filled with ridicule and displeasure, now wore a pale and helpless expression. Blood flowed from the corners of his lips, mixing with the teeth that had been knocked loose by Jack's blow. He felt a sharp pain in his oral cavity and tried to suppress the trembling throughout his body.Unlike before, this time Gordon showed no bravado or arrogance. He understood, at least now, that he was no match for Jack. Jack's bodyguard who suddenly appeared added additional pressure. They stood at attention around Jack, looking ready to act if things escalated.Jack looked at Jamie and Gordon with sharp eyes, making sure that every word he was about to say was felt in their hearts. "I give you a final warning. If you are still spreading slander about me, I will not hesitate to take legal action. Don't think I don't have the proof."This time, both Jamie and Gordon fell silent. Jack recognized Jamie's cowardice from a long time ago. Without the help of Gordon and his other
Jack drove his car while turning on the GPS on his car screen. He looked for the nearest club from here. Jack had never spent the night at any club before, so he would just choose one of the nearest luxury clubs, certainly not the club that Gordon and his friends usually went to.Arriving at the club with a somewhat weak body due to his genetic disease, Jack remained strong. He realized that this was the only temporary way to reduce his physical pain. Jack had never done this before, but he had no other choice. He had to order a woman to accompany him tonight.Arriving at the club, Jack headed towards the reception desk firmly. His charismatic and determined face ensures that the club staff provides the best service for him. Jack booked the VIP room with a sharp look, implying that tonight was a night not to be taken lightly.When the key to the VIP room was given, Jack advanced steadily towards it. He paused for a moment before the door to the room opened in front of him. The room wa
"Maybe," said Jack, putting his shirt back on.With his energy increasing a lot, Jack felt the pain disappear completely. It would probably be another week or two before he felt sick again. Jack expressed his gratitude to Missy with a warm smile before leaving the room. His steps were steady and confident, not waiting for a moment. However, in his heart, there was a small desire that perhaps this meeting would pave the way for the next meeting.Coming out of the club which was still busy, Jack walked towards his car. The cool night air greeted his face, giving him a sense of freshness after the adrenaline-filled encounter. With his heart still filled with thoughts about the second mission, Jack looked up at the night sky full of stars. There's something that doesn't add up in this whole story. Why does he feel connected to that rich family? These questions kept running through his mind.Back at the mansion, Jack finds the comfort of his abode. He took off his shoes and lay down on the
Jack and Ashley finished the journey in silence. The tense atmosphere still surrounded them. When they arrived at the office, their footsteps sounded heavy in the quiet corridor.When he entered his office, Jack immediately sat in his chair. His hand supported his forehead which felt throbbing violently. Ashley, smartly, offered to make coffee."Thank you," Jack said, his voice still sounding tired.Ashley nodded and immediately went to the pantry to prepare coffee. Meanwhile, Jack let his thoughts wander. The fact that the fire occurred due to a gas leak in an area that wasn't even operational yet seemed strange. However, he knew there was no reason for the firefighters to make this any bigger than it was. The situation is getting more complicated.A moment later, Ashley returned with two cups of coffee. His face reflected the same tiredness as Jack's.“They said the fire was probably the result of a gas leak. But it doesn't make sense. "The part that burned isn't even operational ye
After Jack finished several tasks in his office, he felt the need to immediately meet Alice Thompson at the land agency office. Luckily, Alice agreed to meet Jack immediately, showing the urgency of the situation. Jack immediately moved, directing his steps towards the land body that afternoon.A few moments later, Jack's car arrived at the land agency. Alice's room exuded the distinctive aroma of document paper and printer ink that filled the air. The round table in the center of the room was already filled with key documents that would form the basis of their discussions.Jack maintains a firm demeanor, trying to give the impression that even in the face of uncertainty, he maintains control and a well-thought-out plan. He realized that a new strategy needed to be adopted immediately.“I can still fix everything, Ms. Thompson," said Jack.“It's hard to believe something just based on talk alone, Mr. Ashworth,” Alice answered.However, seeing the anxious expression on Alice's face, Ja
After ending the meeting with Brandon, Jack went back to his office with thoughts full of worry. The sky looked cloudy as if reflecting the situation in his heart. He quickened his steps, hoping to soon get a clearer picture of the losses suffered due to the fire at Green Diamond Village.When we arrived at the office, the atmosphere felt different. Full of tension and worry, like a cold breeze before a storm. Ashley was waiting in her room."Jack, I have collected preliminary data. Losses from this fire reached around 2 million dollars," Ashley said in a worried tone. "Redevelopment is expected to cost around $10 million."Jack nodded, but his expression showed deep concern. Those numbers were huge, even for him. He knew that this was the time he had to show his resilience and find a way to overcome this challenge."Thank you, Ashley. I know this won't be easy, but we must immediately start taking the necessary steps," Jack said with determination.Ashley nodded, understanding how im
Jack looked at Suzzane firmly. "Your chance has ended, Suzzane. I have to continue my life without you."Jack walked quickly towards his car, ignoring the beautiful sunset that painted the sky a blush orange. Vehicles passed by with the typical urban hustle and bustle around them.However, in the silence of his feelings, he heard a pleading cry from behind him. Jack heard the voice, recognizing the tension in the tone, and immediately made him turn around.Suzzane, running breathlessly, approached him with regret shining in her pale eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears, expressing her longing for the last chance."Jack, wait a minute!" Suzzane's voice was broken by her labored breathing. "I know I've made a big mistake. Please, give me one more chance, Jack."Jack stopped for a moment, his eyes looking at Suzzane coldly. Time stopped for a moment between the two of them, allowing Jack to grasp his ambivalence. Jack then looked away and continued walking.When Jack reached the side of
