Chương 44: Break That Contract
Jack came back to Shin Tower after visiting Sue. He can't believed how shameless she become asking for a hefty money for her own purposes that's a total scheme.
'My money is only for me, my wife and my future child. Whoever will dare to steal from me will suffer a thousand folds'. He swear it to himself.
His phone suddenly received a text message. ( pick up, its me Azalea) that's what is written. Then his phone rings.
"You called?". He tried to sound calm.
"Errrr,.....am I calling in a bad time?". She feels he sounds cold and don't want to be disturbed.
Jack tried to calm his self, his heart is beating fast. "No it's okay, do you need anything?".
"Well". She dont really know what she wants to say and why did she call him all she knows is she wants to hear his voice.
"Hello, are you still there?". Jack breaks her silence.
"Ah, yes... I called to say....." She's thinking for a good reason. "Save this number its my personal phone number, in case you need me or something and I will save yours".
Jack is grinning ear to ear, he really loves talking to this woman he never cease to amazed her.
"Okay if that's what you want". He said in his casual tone. "By the way do you want to eat luch?". He ask her casually again.
"Oh, I already had lunch but Ken invites me to have another one". She reluctantly said to him.
Jack's face in grimace. He can't say anything. This dumb guy dare to ask his wife out. He is starting to breath heavily his jaw is moving he is really angry.
This scene was witnessed again by Corbin and Trey when they come back. They heard his already in his office and so they came to check on him and this is what they see. A bomb waiting to explode.
"Hey, are you still there?". She is now breaking his silence.
"Still here, are you only going to eat lunch with him". He wants to know if they are also going somewhere else after lunch.
"Maybe, he didn't say anything more". She candidly answered him.
"Can you come here after your lunch?". He dont know why he ask her to come all of a sudden, all he knows is he wants to see her.
"Okay". She answered without thinking twice. Then she bid him goodbye and hang up.
Jack slammed the table. He is furious.
"Send someone to follow my wife and Ken and report everything to me, now!". He's in rage.
The two men in his office pick up their phone in a snap and call some people and instructed them what to do.
"tell susan to inform all departments..... meeting at 1". He needs a place to vent out all his anger.
Another day of chaos in Jack's Kingdom.
....
Azalea found the restaurant and went in. She likes the ambiance and the employees are quite polite.
She saw Ken waving his hands calling her. She smiled at him
"This place is nice how did you find this?". She's overwhelmed by the coziness of the place.
"Do you like it?". He wants to assure if she's comfortable coming here.
"Very much!". She's ecstatic.
"I'm glad, my friend owned this place, it's not a five star restaurant but I love the treatment and the food". There's a hint of pride in his voice.
"Really!?....can you recommend any food you love here". She wants to know those foods that he loves to eat here.
"Actually, I already ordered before you came in". He's saying this while smiling at her.
Azalea was surprised he really does expect her to come.
"You really are so sure that I will come, do you?". Her face is in disbelief.
"I trust your word". For him anything she will say is true, even if she told him she's a mermaid he will believe her.
Azalea chuckles she can't believed he will say that to her.
A minute later the food arrived one by one and her eyes gets bigger and bigger in surprise. Ken was so delighted seeing her reaction he never seen any woman so happy to see a lot of food except for kids.
She said grace first and thank him for the treat before she digs in. He was amazed by her gesture she really is different from all the women he'd been with she's a breath of fresh air.
Azalea tasted each and every delicacies served to them she was very fond of having different flavors and textures of meats and veggies in her mouth and she chooses those she loves the most.
Ken watched her eat her fill she eats with full of gusto and not shy of showing her emotions while eating.
When Azalea is full she lean on her chair and pat her stomach.
"I don't think I can eat anymore". She had two lunch today.
"You don't have to eat everything". Ken was so amazed she can actually eat more than him.
"But I have to, its your treat and I don't want to waste it".
"I can treat you some other time but I think I shouldn't order a lot of food next time you look exhausted by eating to much". He pity her.
"Yeah don't do that next time, its very hard to finish them all". She's still patting her stomach, she really did eat a lot.
"Hey, I didn't tell you to eat them all, if you can't eat them, just leave them, the crew will take care of it". He explains to her.
"But you pay for them". She said in a disagreement tone.
"I know I did that's why I said It's okay to not eat everything. Besides I have lots of money I can buy them over and over again". He chuckles after saying that like it was a joke.
"Yes I know you have lots and lots of money but I also know that you worked hard for it, that's why I don't want to waste every food that you bought for me". She explains to him.
Ken's smiles become thin and the amused look in his eyes glint. She is right he did work hard to earned the money he has today.
"This meal is a privilege and I should be honored that you let me share your hard earned money by treating me. At least let me be grateful to every cent that you earned". As she continued her speech.
He is in silence and contemplating on Azalea's words. In his life he never had a woman who appreciated the value of his hard earned money. All they know is his rich and can burn money like paper. They approach him to cling onto his family's name and fortune. All the women he had sees him like a fat piggy bank but never really saw who he was.
"That's a great outlook in life, where did you learned that?". His feels like his admiration to her reach its peak.
"My mom, she reminds me everyday to be grateful to everything even the littlest thing". She speaks with a thankful hint on it.
"She's probably a great mom". He feels sad for her. She sounds like she adored her mother more than anything.
"Yup, she's the best and I want to live by her words". She smiled with contentment even without her by her side she thought her a lot.
While staring at her, he can't almost contain what he feels inside his heart. He wants to grab and hug her and make sure that he will always be here for her but he can't do that right now, she still belongs to someone else and that's by law, he can't just snatched her away.
Ken made a decision, he will help Jack to find a way to break that contract.
