She’s my drug

dropped. If none of the company hired him, who did then? Those are top notch companies that she piled up with hopes that he would get hired. She has even talked to the managers of some of the companies.

”Then how did you get a job? ”

Jasper felt he needed to tell her the truth. After all, shes more than a friend already. She could keep his secret even if he wanted her not to.

”I got hired as Raina Williams personal bodyguard. ” He blurted out.

Bellas brows furrowed in a deep frown. Raina Williams? The same popular Raina Williams?

”Is this who I think it is? ” She asked again unable to believe it.

”Yes, she is. ” He nodded with a reply.

Bella felt annoyed inside thinking about the fact that he just got a job with the devils advocate. She has come across Raina a few times before and nothing good has been said about her. They once had an encounter where Raina drained her with red wine. She has hated Raina ever since, the rumors about her are very true.

”What?! ” She finally managed to say. ”Why would you accept a job for that woman? ”

”She made a good offer, so I accepted it. ” Jasper shrugged understanding Bellas concern.

”Still, that woman is a live snake. She is rude and has no regards for anyone. Shes gonna frustrated you and make you suffer, why would you want to work for someone like that? ” She fumed.

”Don make worry about me. I know who she is and what she can do. I want to assure you that I can handle women like her. She will get frustrated rather than make me. ” He assured her.

Bella still felt uneasy.

”How much did she offer you that you accepted the offer without thinking about it? ”

Jasper knew where she was going. He still told her the truth anyway.

”Half a million dollars. ”

Bellas eyes widened in shock.

”That bitch! She wants to use money to entice him and treat him like trash! ” She thought.

”Why don you work for me instead, Ill make sure I pay more than what she is offering you. I don want you to be treated like a nobody. ” She suggested, more like a plea.

Bella knows Raina is richer and more powerful, yet she is willing to do anything to have Jasper by her side.

Jasper sighed, ”Bella, I appreciate your concern for me. But you have to let me do things on my own. You have helped me so many times already. You deserve to be very happy, I would gladly do it for free. ”

”But then, you know how badly I need to get back on my feet. I have been trying for years. Please Bella, respect my decision and don make things hard for me. ”

Bella gave a fake smile, she still wasn happy. She has been working so hard to get Jasper by her side and all that witch needed to do was ruin it. Jasper may no longer have time to be with her, since he will now be her personal bodyguard.

She decided to accept his decision to make him happy.

”Well, I don have a choice right? Just tell her to be careful or Ill break her bones if she does anything to hurt you. ” She frowned.

”Thanks beautiful. One more thing, please don tell my mom or sister the nature of my job. ” He begged her.

”Relax. Your secret is always safe with me. You have nothing to worry about. ” She assured him.

He smiled knowing he could count on her to keep his secret safe.

”Lets watch a movie before going for dinner later. ” He said.

”You didn forget. ” Bella smiled.

”I didn . ” He returned the smile.

•••••

They both sat at the fast food restaurant having dinner and discussing happily. Jasper always finds a way to make Bella laugh. They looked like a happy couple to other customers and passersby.

Just when Bella thought she would have him for the night, his phone rang. Jasper checked the caller ID and saw an unfamiliar number. He decided to pick it up.

”Whos this? ” Jasper asked rudely.

”Your new boss Mr Smith. Thats my number. ” Rainas voice came from the other side.

He scoffed, why would she be calling him by this time just to tell him her number?

”Okay. Ill save it. Can I do anything else for you? ” He asked.

”Yeah. Im about to leave work and I need you here right now to drive me home. ” She said.

”What? You never said I was going to start my job tonight. ” He protested.

This woman was just too much. Bella frowned upon hearing that, that witch is already ruining things for her.

”The contract states that you will start whenever I want. And I want you to start now, you have twenty minutes to get here. ” She hung up right after that not giving him a chance to protest further.

He looked at Bella apologetically.

”Im sorry. ”

”Theres no need to apologise. Your job should be more important than me. ” She replied obviously upset.

”I will make this up to you next time I promise. I didn mean for us to part this way. ” He begged.

Bella nodded trying to suppress her anger.

”I don think there will be a next time with her around. If there is, do let me know. ” She said getting up.

”Bella… ”

”Good night Jasper. ” She walked away quickly.

Jasper felt really guilty and at the same time mad at Raina for calling at the wrong time. He knows how important spending time with him was for Bella. He took a cab to the corporation and met Raina waiting for him with a deep frown.

”I gave you twenty minutes, you arrived in twenty five, how hard are you of hearing? ” She scolded rudely.

”You should check your eyes and the time. I am ten minutes early, I got here in fifteen minutes. ” He replied.

She fumed, ”I am your boss now! You should accord me with respect or Ill show you what I can do to disobedient workers. ”

”You
e welcome to try. ” He dared her.
