Jason paused for a few seconds, and after staring at the door for a short while, he continued with a whisper. “I need you to do something for me, Harry. Something very important, and I need your help to do it discreetly, no one must know about it.” “What is it, Young Master?” Harry retorted at once, staring at Jason who cleared his throat softly before he continued. “Dalton Creed wants me to help him and his group with their next shipment, I think it’s the biggest shipment for them. I need you to make arrangements for that shipment to be brought in safely from wherever they want, and then we can decide whatever we want to do with it.” Harry was silent for a few seconds, while he gave Jason’s demand a quick thought. The look on his face was able to provide the answer that Jason needed when he realized that the Butler was silent. “This is going to be a little bit difficult, Young Master.” Harry sighed softly, and Jason did the same almost immediately. “Difficult but not impo
Brenda thought about the words Jason said, but she couldn’t understand them, and she had to ask questions. “What do you mean, Jay? What do you mean by no one said I was not going to see her?” Brenda continued staring at Jason who sighed heavily with a smile on his face, adjusted himself, and then cleared his throat.“What I meant was that she could come here…”“Really? Are you sure?” Brenda asked at once, her brows were lifted, and she grabbed his hands quickly while anticipating his response. “Yes, why not? I mean you said she is your best friend, right?” “Mmh-hmm!” Brenda nodded with a smile. “Good! I don’t want you going out there, Brenda. It’s not safe. Just tell her to come over. Besides, I would really love to meet her.” “Yes! Thank you so much, Jay!” Brenda dragged Jason into a warm embrace, and kissed him immediately after she pulled him away from her body. “I will just inform her right away!” She stood up from the couch at once and dialed her best friend’s numbe
That same afternoon, Jason was seated in the living room with Kelvin, and after they were done with the main reason he was there, a thought crept into Jason’s mind, and he decided to follow it up at once. “Young Master? I think that’s all for now. Everything you need is here, and I will keep a close eye on the rest.” Kelvin handed over a flash drive to Jason who held onto it carefully. “Thank you, Kelvin. One more thing…” Jason grabbed his phone from his pocket, and clicked on the hidden number that had been calling him. “Someone has been calling me with a hidden number for a while now, and I want to know who the caller is. Can you do something about this?” He showed the screen of the phone to Kelvin who looked at it closely. “May I?”“Yeah, sure! You can have it.” Jason handed over the phone to Kelvin who plugged it into his laptop and began to do his work at once while he watched with keen interest. “I just need to find the IP address on the phone, let’s just hope that t
While they ate quietly, Tricia couldn’t stop staring at Jason who constantly tried to avoid having any eye contact with her. Her eye gestures and her smile were a bit awkward, and she didn’t mind gawking at him while holding onto her cutleries. “Jay? Are you okay?” Brenda broke the silence in the hall, realizing that Jason had suddenly stopped eating while he bent his face to the table. Tricia stopped looking at him as soon as she saw that Brenda was turning to look at her. “I am fine.” “Don’t you like the food?”“Of course, I do! Annie is a wonderful chef!”“Then what’s the problem? You were enjoying the food a while ago.” “I am fine, maybe I just need some water.” Jason attempted to grab the the jug of water in front of him, but Brenda grabbed it before him because it was closer to him. “Let me help you.” Brenda poured some water into Jason’s glass and handed it over to him. “Thank you.” Jason said calmly after returning the glass to her. “Are you okay, now?”“Yeah.
With his mind still unrest, Jason paced around the living room from one corner to the other. He had just gotten off the phone with James who assured him that everything was going well in the hospital, but he still wasn’t comfortable with the fact that Brenda had gone to work after everything he told her. Later on, Tricia joined him in the living room, and it was as if she was looking for another opportunity to get closer to him. “Mr. Walker? You seem disturbed. Do you care to share what the problem could be?” She said as she catwalked toward him, making sure that he noticed her with the sound of her heels clanking on the marble tiles. “I am fine, Tricia. It’s nothing.” Jason looked away from him at once, avoiding eye contact no matter how hard she tried to get him to look at her. “It doesn’t look like it’s nothing, Mr. Walker. Just know that you can talk to me, whatever it is I am here for you. Is my friend stressing you? I wouldn’t be shocked if that was the case. Brenda does
Amidst the panic that crept into Jason’s nerves, he tried to remain calm, but it didn’t seem like the words he heard from Brenda were going to let him. “Brenda? Are you there? What’s going on? Where is James?” He waited, but there was no response. “Hello? Can you hear me? Babe?” He looked at the screen of the phone, and that was when he realized that the call had dropped. “Young Master? What's happening?” “We need to go to the hospital, Harry! Now!” Jason stormed out of the house, and Harry followed him at once, gesturing to the two guards standing by the corner of the building who followed them into the car at once.“Drive! Be fast about it!” Jason ordered at once while he continued dialing Brenda’s number, but she wasn’t answering. “Why isn’t she taking her calls? She should take her calls!” Jason grunted loudly, trying to reach Brenda for the umpteenth time. “Maybe you should call James, Young Master. He should be in the position to say what’s going on.” Harry suggeste
It was a long period of wait for everyone, laced with a lot of tension and silence. Brenda seemed more frightened than the rest of them, pacing from one end the the other while she struggled with her breath and tromping heartbeat. “Do you need that cleaned?” Asked one of the nurses from her hospital, and she shook her head, indicating that she was more concerned about James than the blood all over her. Seeing that she was not going to stop moving around in worry, Jason was forced to get up from the seat where he sat with Harry who also had his eyes on her. He walked up to her gently and grabbed her shoulders from the back. She was startled, turning abruptly to look at him with her eyes wide open. Everything seemed to be giving her anxiety. “It’s okay! It’s me! It’s just me, okay?” Jason lifted his hands until he was sure that she was calm before he gently pulled her closer to himself with a smile on his face. “You should come take a seat, Brenda. Pacing around will do you no
Clad in a black suit, Jason got ready for his meeting with Dalton and Stiles. Brenda was done making the chicken soup and freshly squeezed orange juice for James, and she packed it nicely, ready to be taken to him. “Do you really think I shouldn't take this to him myself, Jay? He literally saved my life!”“I know, Brenda. But it’s not safe out there, I can’t risk you getting hurt. The last one was a mistake that I shouldn't have made, and I am not about to repeat it.” Jason said calmly to Brenda who was carrying the basket containing the items for James. She sighed heavily and nodded reluctantly. “I am just glad that he is okay. I can't wait to see him back on his feet again.” “You will get to see him, Brenda. I need you to stay here and have enough rest, okay? You do not need to stress yourself. I will make sure this gets to him on my way out.” “Okay, if you say so. Tricia is here to be with me, I guess she came at the right time.” Brenda looked at Tricia who was standing cl
