Chapter 26: Forever a jerk he is

Amelia Forbes

I could feel my legs about to give way any second as I tried to balance four Harry Potter sized books on my leg.

Jason had made it clear that everything I touched automatically became filthy. So he didn't want filth in his house.

I wasn't even allowed to touch the armrest of the chair.

Trying to take my mind off my leg, I focused on the project. So far, I'd gone considerably far in my work.

The fact that I'd started beforehand really helped. At this rate I might even finish before the week runs out.

I'd calculated that I'd be done in a week but at the rate I was going it'd probably be done in 4 to 5 days.

I screamed in joy.

In my head, of course.

Lest Jason find another reason to torment me.

A few minutes later, I was at the last page of the first chapter I'd been studying-which brought day one of my work to a close. I rounded up quickly and began to fill the pages of Jason's project manual.
