Chương 68: What A Jerk
On the next day on Shin Tower.
"This are the reports you've requested for". Corbin is handing him a folder.
Jack took them and studied the information Corbin handed to him.
"This is the Re-Do?". Jack was holding a photo graph of a five floor building in his hand and showing it to him.
"Yes sir, that's Ms. Azalea's shop". Corbin didn't even take a second look at it.
"And where is it located?". He ask him again.
"It's located at West Fairland". He said directly.
"Isn't that a waste land?". He ask Corbin with a confusion on his face.
"Yes, three years ago, but three years later it was rehabilitated. Politicians got involved in their activities and gave them funds plus Non-government Organizations got involved too". Then he paused. Corbin looked at him.
"That's all starts when your wife move there". He continued.
Jack seems to sense something in Corbins report.
"Did my wife got something to do with all of this?". He ask with curiosity this time.
"In that neighborhood they call Ms. Azalea, Queen Midas, they said everything she touched turns to gold. The neighborhood are all grateful to her and overprotective as well, from the local government way down". Corbin explained in full details.
Jack falls into his deep thoughts. A lot of questions is running through his head.
'Why rehabilitate a slum area if she can wiped them out and build a new business with the influence and connections that she had?'.
'Is she planning something more with that area?'.
'And how did she convinced a lot of people to help her?'.
All this questions are only hanging in the air with no answers.
His wife looks very innocent but she seems to hide a dark side of her. With this thought his lips curved upward. How would he love to uncover them soon.
Jack continued flipping all the pictures one by one when he noticed a familiar figure.
"It's Ken, what is he doing there?". He ask him with a hint of irritation.
"It seems that he have a friend who knows Ms. Son and took him there without knowing they've been acquainted before". Corbin explains to him.
Jack's forehead wrinkled with animosity. He doesn't like him hovering around with his wife.
Corbin can sense the emitting anger in his Boss' aura. He is staring at the picture intensely as if he wants to strangle him.
"Find him". He ordered him while gritting his teeth.
"He's at the Country Club". Corbin already anticipated this order.
Jack rose from his seat and about to leave when his door suddenly opened. Trey came in followed by Susan.
"I tried to stop him, sir". Susan exclaimed.
He did remembered, he told her not to let anyone in. But Trey came rushing.
Jack is furrowing his eyebrows and looking straight to his cousin. His cousin is also looking at him while his hands are resting in his waist. He looks angry.
"What is it?". He ask him in a superior way.
Trey walks in front of his desk and put down a flash drive on top of it.
"I demand an explanation for that!". He said almost stammering.
Jack sit again to his swivel chair and took the flash drive. He connects it to his laptop then he played the video that stalled in it.
"What am I watching right now?". He wrinkled his forehead more.
"Just keep watching". Trey is agitated.
In the video there seems to be a commotion happening. He can see a woman is defending herself while some men tried to apprehend her. When the woman throws a roundhouse kick like taekwondo master her face shows up in the camera.
Jack halted his breath and his jaw almost dropped to the floor. The small woman he is seeing in the video is none other than his wife.
Corbin who is watching behind him was also shocked. He can't believed she can actually fight. Her moves shows that she's been trained for a long time. It's precise and disciplined.
'Who trained her and why?'. He becomes curious about her.
Jack played the rest of the video and saw an orange hair guy punch the face of his beloved Azalea. He pound his table in anger. But after that he saw another familiar face on the video, Riff DePinault. He played the heroine in the video and help her wife.
He stopped the video. He is heaving with anger. His eyes are squinted and shaped like a phoenix. He is so mad.
"That's Azalea in the video". He says this gritting his teeth.
"I know, that's Azalea my angelic driver". Trey gives emphasis to his last words.
Jack looked at him and he seemed to be snatched out of his boiling temper. He suddenly remembered his cousin's long infatuation to his wife.
"And?". That's all he said.
"And?..... And?..... That's all you'll going to say?". Trey is starting to raise his voice.
"Do I have to say something else?". He answered him coldly.
"Yes!..... Give her back to meeeeee...!". And he stumbled to the floor and cried without tears. "You stole her from me... waahhhhh..."
Susan who's still standing on one side of the office was dumbfounded with Trey's behaviour. He looks like a kid bullied and snatched his lunch from him. The only thing left is for him to roll all over the floor and he will going to look very pathetic.
"What a weird guy". She mumbled to herself.
"I didn't stole anything. She is my wife". He said coldly to him while trying to control himself for strangling him.
Corbin looks at Trey with disgust. He acts immaturely in front of their Boss. He is a total moron.
"Yes you did, I found her first and you know that!". He is jumping up and down like a rabbit now. "Give her back, give her back". Trey is screaming like a child.
Jack sigh deeply and tried to calm himself. He remembered when they were young. Trey always throw some tantrums when he can't get things that he thought supposed to be his.
Back then, he thought his cousin was cute because he's young but he didn't realize how pathetic he will look like using the same method today. 'Damn I want to kill him'. Jack is starting to get pissed.
"If you won't stop, I'll send you home and it's not a threat". He said calmly.
Trey stopped and looked at him. The words sending him home registered clearly to his brain.
If he sends him home his mother will never let him out until she marries him off to her friends daughter. 'No way!'. He's brain exclaimed.
He stands up and dust himself.
"Okay, I'm over her". He said as if nothing happened.
Jack feels like he wants to lift his table and throw it at him. He made such a fuss and then act as if nothing happens later.
'What a jerk'. Both Susan and Corbin's mind is in sync.
