Crazy Rich Girl's
CH. 4 | Meet Again
Jessica stared blankly at the street in District X which was quite crowded this afternoon. He had just finished shopping for some items to decorate his study at the Mansion and was now waiting for Jaguar to pick him up. Jessica sat on one of the street chairs with Nathaniel standing next to her carrying Madame's bags of groceries.
"How long will he be there?" ask Jessica. His face showed a little annoyance. The reason, Jaguar is already late almost 15 minutes from the time that has been determined by Jessica to pick him up.
"Before a minute, Madame," Nathaniel replied still the same as five minutes ago.
Jessica squeaked in annoyance and then clasped her hands together in front of her chest. It's always like this. This time, what else is the reason?
In fact, Jessica is eager to find a new driver because Jaguar is often late like this, but he is lazy to re-select new people who will not necessarily keep the company secret as good as his personal driver who is now.
"You were the lady who gave me bread yesterday, right?" said a man passing in front of him. Jessica initially ignored the man, she was still too upset with her personal driver who never came while she had to immediately check some stock of building materials in West Warehouse as well as looking for The Fox.
"May I sit here?" said the man again who just sat beside him.
"No need to ask if you're sitting like that" Jessica said.
The man only chuckled while sucking the white twinkle in his hand. His breath mixed with the thin smoke, carrying a slight smell of nicotine and cloves into Jessica's nose which immediately grinned dislike. He never liked the smell of cigarette smoke like this, felt sore when entering his respiratory tract.
"You look moody, why?" asked the man who had now turned his head towards the woman with his long brunette hair.
"My driver is late" Jessica replied briefly.
"Far away, you made my Madame uncomfortable" Nathaniel said after the man walked in front of the man.
"Ey, wait! I just wanted to thank him, not do anything" he replied, raising his hands.
"Nath .." said Jessica and ordered Nathaniel to return to her place with the tip of her eye.
"Okay, Madame." Nathaniel returned to his place with his eyes watching the man who was still smoking next to his Madame.
"No problem, we have to help each other, right?" jessica said to the man.
A small smile rose on his lips. For some reason, the presence of this man slightly irritated the feeling he felt earlier disappeared. True what his father once said, talking to someone who is not concerned about the property in his life is much more fun than he had to chat with two faces who continue to boast about their property.
"Thanks to my Miss still alive now," he replied before extending his right hand.
"My name is Jey" he continued.
"Not to overdo it like that. Your own fault yesterday instead of buying food, instead of buying alcoholic drinks like that," Jessica said as she chuckled and greeted the hand of a man named Jey.
"My name is Jessica" she said kindly.
"Miss Jessica, a beautiful name like the owner," said Jey who suddenly made Jessica laugh loudly.
Oh my God, this is the first time someone has dared to speak this frontally to him. Usually, the people he met would have been pretentious to him for wanting him cooperation as well as cheaper items from his place.
"You're this, hahah!" Jessica covered her mouth with one of her hands, her eyes curved like a crescent moon that was smiling beautifully towards the slowly setting sun.
Is beautiful. Not only her body gesture, but also the way this woman who would shake Jey's hand who was just a vagrant. They were from different castes, but Jessica was courteously still willing to chat with him.
"Ah, my invitation has come. See you on another occasion, Jey. Nice to know you!" Jessica got up from her seat, waving her little hand towards Jey before she stepped towards her pickup car. Leaving Jey delighted with her warm heart.
Jey knows, Jessica's not a regular person. He must be the richest man in London right now. However, her humble nature and polite speech that always unraveled from her lips from the beginning of their meeting, has been able to make Jey judge if Jessica is a smart woman who was born from extraordinary parents.
......***......
"Have you tried to go to their place?" ask Jessica. His eyebrows swooped angrily making Lucas immediately lowered his head feeling guilty to the Madame.
"Already, Madame ... However, they stood up as we charged," he replied slowly.
Jessica scrunched up her own forehead. Things like this often occur in the warehouse of building goods, for some reason but who are often fooled by customers are mostly building goods that they sell.
"I don't want to know, you have to make them pay. This isn't the first case of the month, you'll have to take responsibility otherwise I'll replace you with my other men" Jessica finalized before walking away from the place.
His breathing sounded heavy when Jessica got to the front of her car. His head ached as he calculated the loss he would have had Lucas not succeeded in getting the man to pay off the item they had bought.
"Nath, I want to buy a secankir Macchiato before I go home" Jessica said before opening her car door and getting inside.
......***......
Jessica stared into her coffee cup with a puzzled look. His head was so full and messy. The team he was assigned to search for The Fox just published the daily report he requested and they said that the Fox position was completely untraceable. Not to mention the report from the electronic warehouse that says if for this month, one brand can not send goods to them because there are internal problems in the company.
This month was arguably Jessica's toughest point in her two years leading the Thimotheous. There are so many problems that make him lose tens of thousands of dollars.
His phone rang, a number with the contact name Joshua appearing on his screen. Jessica picked it up immediately and picked up the phone call.
"Yes, hello?"
"Have you met?"
"It's only been two days of searching, can you be patient?" Jessica frowned, not liking to hear Joshua's question, which was the beginning of their conversation.
"*We need it, don't you remember that?"
"If you need funds to find him, just say so. I'll send you the payment early*."
"It's not a matter of money, your brother is very difficult to trace because not many know what his real face looks like. Why don't you give me a clear photo to make my job easier?"
Yes, from the beginning Joshua asked him to look for The Fox, there was not a single photo that pointed to the clear appearance of the man's face. Making their search even more difficult because Joshua only gave his characteristics.
"I'm sorry, Jessy. I can't give you a picture of her because I don't have a picture of Josephine not wearing a mask."
Jessica snorted softly before her net caught the figure of Jey who was like being scared because of being chased by something. Shortly after, three men with tattoos that filled his entire body came swarming Jay and punching the man just like that made Jessica deflect her eyes in shock.
"I'll call you later."
Beep ...
Jessica put her phone in the bag before walking out of the cafe and immediately approached the commotion right in front of the cafe where she calmed down earlier.
"Hey! What's the matter?!"
Connect ...
