c.l.o.s.e.r

“Hey, eat slower. Or you might get choked” Jay reminded, handing Jolin a couple of napkins. She was sitting beside him, burying her face on her plate and gobbling up her spaghetti.

“I’m starving.” Jolin mumbled, her mouth full of food. She then helped herself with a drumstick and cheesecakes. Jay looked at her, who resembled a kid occupying herself with heaps of food. He chuckled with delight.

“What’s so funny?” she frowned, looking at him.

“Don’t you ever care about your image?” he asked with a cocky grin.

“Come on, I’m dying of starvation! Images aside!” she exclaimed in a denigrating tone. “I never know your maids cook such great food.” Ignoring his naughty smirk, she continued tucking in her food.

“I will ask them to prepare more if these aren’t enough.” Jay added. The table was full with plates of dishes.

“Oh, no.” Jolin held up her hand like a traffic cop, “Its more than enough. My figure is not to be tampered with.” Jokingly, she patted her tummy with her other hand.

“You can stay in my house until you’ve found a place.” Jay said.

She sighed, lifting her dazzling eyes to his, “You trust me?”

“I don’t.” he declared almost immediately. “I trust no one. But a girl like you can’t do much harm to me.” He locked her eyes with his coldest, impassive stare. Jolin flinched at the sudden change in his mood.

“I guess I will leave after this.” she blurted out, glancing away from him. “I don’t want to trouble you.” After cleaning her lips with a wet tissue, Jolin stood up, ready to leave. He was silent all the while, observing her.

“I want you to stay.” Jay declared candidly. Before Jolin could make the first step to leave, he grabbed her hand and pulled her down to his seat, making her fall right onto his lap.

“What do you want?” she demanded with her nerves building up. But she bear no intention to let her uneasiness show.

“You’re penniless now.” he began, “How about I offer you a job and you’ll be paid an attractive sum of money?”

“Be your woman?” Jolin challenged, able to read his mind instantly.

“Bingo.” He replied. He put his thumb beneath her chin and nudged it upwards, so that she was looking into his eyes, “Deal?” he brought his face closer to hers. That pair of his electrifying eyes send coldness all over her, making her heart jumped.

“Deal.” Jolin swallowed hard, at the same time trying to stay cool. By agreeing, she was a step closer to the success of her mission. Moreover, Jay’s tone of voice had made it clear this wasn’t a quest. But an order. No silly person would reject him.

“Find her at once!” Shawn commanded his subordinates, throwing an empty glass at their direction. The glass smashed itself against the wall and landed into pieces of fragments. He was overwhelmed with rage at the knowledge that Jolin had moved out of her house without informing anyone in the clan.

“Yes boss.” The three men standing in front of him nodded obediently. Without further ado, they left his office quietly.

Shawn crumpled a piece of paper and aimed it into a waste basket. “I will find you no matter what.” he clasped his fists and gritted his teeth hard.
