BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76 Do You Have A Girlfriend?
It was already ten in the night when Jack got a room to stay in. It was inside a five-star hotel called Chida. Jack had checked into a presidential suite and it cost him a total $63,000 a night.
Just like always, there was income that came from the daily sales of the grocery department. Although the money that is earned from the sales weren\'t sent to his account, at the end of the day, it is still multiplied by the system.
After the money is multiplied by a hundred times, the system would leave the original amount that was earned in the grocery department accounts. As for the balance of the multiplied, it is all sent to his current account.
[Flyers\' Bank Savings Account Balance is $5,124,324,890.]
This was his current balance after paying the cost of staying in the suite for a whole week. Jack wanted to use this week to stabilize things here and expand if possible.
He had already taken a shower and was just looking through the posts in the internet when a pop up notification showed that he had received a message from TM (Text Me).
When he tapped it, he found that it was a text from Celine. Since they had parted the previous day, they hadn\'t talked again. Now that she texted him, he remembered that he could at least pass his time chatting before sleeping.
It won\'t be bad to create his mood for sleeping by chatting with a beautiful lady.
Celine: [Hello there, you sleep yet?]
Jack: \'Hello, I\'ve yet to sleep. But, it seems that I won\'t have a chance to sleep.\'
Celine: [You\'re busy with something?]
Jack: \'Yeah, I\'m busy chatting with a beautiful lady.\' After Jack replied, there was no reply for about a minute before a reply came through.
Celine: [You sure know how to tease girls.]
Jack: \'You\'re the only girl that I\'ve ever teased.\'
Back in Inchoate city, inside her room in the presidential suite in Glaze Hotel, Celine blushed the moment that she read the reply that Jack had sent.
\'Is he trying to tell me something?\' She asked herself. A smile subconsciously appeared on her face as she typed a reply.
Celine: [Well, that\'s what all men say.]
Seeing this reply, Jack raised his brows. Well, I\'m telling the truth. Anyway, it doesn\'t matter if they all say the same thing like I do. He then typed a reply.
Jack: \'You should know that I\'m not all men. I\'m me.\'
Celine chuckled upon the reply as she thought, \'Surely men don\'t lack a reply for every question.\' Then, she thought for a moment before replying.
Celine: [Anyway, I was busy today in that I didn\'t visit your office. Grace told me that you two have met, what do you think of her?]
Upon seeing that she had changed the topic, Jack moved with the flow.
Jack: \'From her academic qualifications and experience, she\'s good. As for the performance, that would need at least a week for the evaluation to begin.\'
Celine: [I\'m happy that you\'re satisfied with her for now. Oh, why is it that you\'re going to start evaluating her within just a week?\'
Jack: \'I think that a week should be enough for me to start seeing the changes. The grocery department is one that has sales on a daily basis. So, even if there\'s only a minimal change, it is a change nevertheless. So, it would only depend on whether or is a positive or negative one.\'
Celine had to agree with Jack on this. If he was thinking about seeing bigger positive changes within a week, he would need a large amount of capital. But upon seeing that Jack didn\'t seem to be looking forward to bigger changes, she nodded. Sometimes, it was good to take things slowly.
If Jack had known about her thoughts, he would have simply laughed it off and said, capital? A whole billion to boost the services, sales and other things in the department, that was enough to ensure that there were bigger changes within just a few days as long as the one that was handling things was decisive enough.
Celine: [Mmh, it\'s good that things are okay.]
Jack: \'How are you doing on your part? Considered moving to the building yet?\'
Celine thought for a moment and made a decision.
Celine: [In the future, if the company grows, I\'ll tell my friend to move it there. Currently, it\'s still small and there\'s no need for the whole floor. The building that we\'re occupying currently isn\'t bad.]
Seeing that Celine didn\'t seem to want to move the office to the building, Jack didn\'t pursue that. If she wanted to do that, she would. But now that she seemed to be having plans of her own, Jack wouldn\'t interrupt them.
Jack: \'You\'re welcome at any time. I\'ll reserve a floor for you as long as you tell me the number that you would like to occupy.\'
Celine: [Okay. You free tomorrow? I would like your help with something.]
At this moment, Celine was thinking about dealing with something in Inchoate city. Jack seemed to have formed a bond with the youngsters of inchoate city.
On the other hand, although her family was strong, it was mainly based in the capital. No matter how strong they were, their influence in Inchoate city was small and she was bound to face some problems.
Jack: \'That\'s going to be a problem for now as I\'m in Venture city at the moment.\'
Celine was surprised the moment that she found out that Jack was no longer in Inchoate city. She wondered if he had an emergency or had some business to do in Venture city.
Although she didn\'t ask what he was doing there, she felt a little disappointed that he didn\'t inform her before leaving.
When she noticed that her mood seemed to have dropped, she couldn\'t help but be surprised at herself. \'What\'s up with me? Why is it that I wanted him to tell me when he was leaving? It\'s not like we\'re that much familiar for him to tell things like that.\'
Celine: [Okay then, I won\'t disturb you. Goodnight!]
Jack was stunned the moment that he saw the reply. What\'s up with her? Does she think that I don\'t want to help her and she\'s angry with me?
Jack\'s heart tightened for a moment before he typed. He could see that she had yet to go offline. So, he was sure that she would see the text.
Jack: \'Wait a moment. What trouble are you facing? Maybe I can help you even if I\'m not there.\'
Celine was just about to exit the app when she saw Jack\'s text. She hesitated for a moment before reading it.
She had wanted to end the conversation at this moment because she had started feeling uneasy. It was as if something that was hers was about to get snatched from her grasp.
She didn\'t understand what was the reason behind this. But, at the end if it all, she just decided to stop chatting with Jack and calm herself down for a moment as at this time, there were several questions that were running in her mind.
What are you doing there? Is there a girl that you\'re seeing? Or do you already have a girlfriend? These questions were ringing in her mind again and again and she was getting an impulse to ask.
She was afraid that if she didn\'t stop now, she would end up asking such a question. And considering that they were just getting to know each other, Jack might feel that she was invading his personal issues. This might as well result in the relationship that they were having now to collapse.
After reading it for a moment, she replied.
Celine: [There are some gangsters that seem to be loitering around the building that the company is located. From the way that they are behaving, I can see that their target is the company. I\'m not sure why they\'re targeting the company or me. But, at the end of the day, they are a danger that might as well erupt in the next moment.]
[What\'s more is that, since my connections here are shallow, I can\'t find who sent them there. I can\'t call the police as long as they don\'t do something that breaks the law.]
Celine was really exasperated at the moment. The moment that she began typing, she suddenly felt like she could tell Jack all that was in her mind at the moment. At this moment, she suddenly forgot about the impulses as she laid out the troubles in her heart.
The moment that Jack read the words gangsters, he immediately felt something wasn\'t right. The moment that he found out that they seemed to be targeting Celine, instinctive anger began welling inside his heart and he almost got out of the suite to fly back to inchoate to deal with the mastermind.
It was only after a moment of taking a deep breath that Jack was finally able to keep his calm. He still had a mission to complete and a bet to win. There was still a company that he still needed to make changes to.
Jack: \'Can you make it possible for them not to attack during this week? I\'ll be there at the end of this week or earlier to deal with them for you.\'
Although Celine couldn\'t hear his words and could only read them, she could feel the confidence in these words. This made her heart calm.
But, it was also at this moment that the impulses came back. She had just typed thank you on the screen when she suddenly added a few more words. By the time that she realized it, she had already sent the text.
Celine: [Thank you. I\'ll try to stall them for a week.]
[If I may ask, do you have a girlfriend?]
