Chapter 149 A mission
Jack placed a hand over Nicole's shoulder and sighed. "I am sorry, I promise I will come back in a few minutes." He said while looking into her eyes.
Nicole listened to him and stayed silent for a few seconds, she wanted to know what he was gonna do for a few minutes and she could tell by his expression that it was a serious matter.
It could even be at the level of the shadow puppets because it was rare for Jack to lose his cool.
He was calm even facing the puppets.
"Promise me that you won't do anything dangerous." She looked at him with her breath stuck in her throat, she didn't want any harm to befall him.
She wanted him to be safe and not do anything dangerous.
Previously Jack has been shot once and even fought some supernatural puppets. She could tell that his life was more than normal and more dangerous than normal people.
"Yes, I promise," Jack said to relax her nerves, he wasn't too sure when Vieva's mood would change and she would decide to end his life.
However he didn't want Nicole to worry too much, as she wouldn't be able to do anything against Vieva, and if she intruded then she might escalate the problem even more than it already is.
That was the reason why he wanted to send her inside early and not cause any problems for him and herself.
Nicole looked at him for a few more seconds and then nodded with a worried expression on her face.
She then turned around and left for the shop, while moving she kept glancing back again and again at Jack and only after she entered did she remove her gaze from him.
Jack could tell that she was worried for him.
He sighed and then moved his head towards Vieva, her smile wider than before, her white teeth sparkling like diamonds in the sunny atmosphere.
She waved at Jack again, indicating for him to come to her.
Jack contemplated for a moment and moved towards her cautiously, he looked around his vicinity for any other people, however, strangely he found none.
Soon enough he stood in front of her and looked at her Ero Meter and Love meter.
Her Ero Meter was ninety-eight and her heart was zero better than before, where her heart was blue.
Jack sighed looking at her.
"You don't like seeing me?" Vieva asked with a teasing smile on her face.
"Yes, I don't," Jack said bluntly. He knew that his Ero Meter would interrupt in a dangerous situation, so till then telling the truth would be the best option for him.
As Vieva was not a normal human and lying to her would only get him in more trouble if not for his Ero Meter.
"Hahaha..." Vieva laughed seductively and she looked at him from up to down and then licked her lips as if she wanted to eat him alive.
"I want to taste you so bad, but first I need to test you." She said while placing a finger on his lips and drawing out some blood.
She then licked the red blood on her finger. "Mm... You are tasty in a weird way." She said.
"I am not interested in letting you taste me," Jack said while taking a step back.
When Vieva saw him stepping back she tilted her head slightly in amusement. "You are the first person that can say such ridiculous things and stay alive. For some reason, I don't want to kill you." Jack said and giggled.
"You are so lucky..." She said again.
Jack could feel the threatening tone behind her words.
"I know I am." He said and stood calm, he didn't wanna show her the emotional stir he was going through.
"I need you to do something for me," Vieva said suddenly as the smile disappeared from her face and a serious expression appeared.
She looked at Jack with a sharp gaze that could pierce into his soul.
"What made you think that I will do anything for you?" Jack asked, he didn't wanna do anything for Vieva.
He knew that Vieva was not a normal person and a job handed by her would also not be normal, there would be danger involved in the situation.
And Jack has just gotten out of a dangerous situation with Mr Wang, now he wanted to relax some with his girls and not just run around being tired in the end.
"You have to do it, I don't have time for this work or I would have never troubled you." She said as the smile on her face returned slowly.
She looked at Jack as if she was sure that Jack would do whatever she said, it was as if he had no option but to deny her request.
"I won't do it." Jack refused blatantly, he was not interested in any sort of work until his Ero Meter said so, and till now there was no prompt from the Ero Meter.
Vieva just chuckled at her words and looked around, she then looked at him again.
"There is this man, I want him dead." She flicked her finger and a paper appeared in her hand.
She moved the paper in front of Jack.
The paper was folded so Jack couldn't see the contents, however, her words were enough for him.
"I said I won't do it..." Before Jack could finish his words, Vivea stuffed the paper in his pants and then kissed him on the lips.
A giggle then moved out of her mouth. "Finish the work and I will give you another kiss." She said and then disappeared from the plain sight.
Jack stood at his pace bewildered, he didn't know what to say or what to do, he denied her request many times, however, she didn't care.
"This bitch..." He cursed and took out the paper from his pocket.
He opened it and saw an image of a young guy and information about him, the guy looked to be younger than Jack, he looked like a college student.
"Rick Styles." Jack read out the name and it didn't ring any bells.
He didn't know or have heard about this guy before, he then looked at the information below.
"Works at a construction site as a construction worker."
Jack furrowed his brows at the information, it was only one line and only said that Rick was a construction worker.
He then looked below and found nothing, there was just one line of info on him. "How the fuck am I supposed to find this guy?" He folded the paper again in anger and shoved it in his pocket.
First, he didn't wanna finish any mission from Vieva Especially if it involved killing someone. And even if wanted to he can't as he doesn't have enough information on the target.
"I have to ask my truth meter later if I should complete this task or not." Although he didn't wanna do it he still wanted to confirm from his truth meter.
He wants to ask if not completing this mission would put him or his girls in any sort of danger.
He would be rather safe than sorry.
"Who does she think she is? Ordering me around like a slave, I will teach her a lesson one day." He spat on the ground and took in some deep breaths to calm himself down.
He then looked at the big clothing stone and knew that Nicole must be waiting for him, without thinking much he stepped forward towards the clothing store.
Soon enough he opened the glass door and entered the shop and just as he did so he felt the cool sensation of AC hit his body and he calmed down a little.
After taking another relaxing breath he removed all the tension from his brain and looked around for Nicole in the store.
He first moved towards the counter where a female staff was checking out clothes for other customers and there were racks of clothing in the big shop.
It was a multi-brand shop with lots of luxury clothing sold in a single place, it was some kind of reseller.
Jack moved between the racks to look for Nicole however even after searching for a few minutes through the whole shop he couldn't find her.
Suddenly a frown appeared on his face and he looked some more, however, he still couldn't find her.
"Where did she go?" He thought and took out his phone to call her.
After the call rang for few times no one picked up.
"Why isn't she picking up the call?" Jack's heart started increasing its pace as a sense of urgency washed over his body.
He called again and the results were the same this time too.
He gulped his saliva and moved towards the counter while pulling out her photo from his phone.
He looked at the lady staff behind the counter.
"Hey, excuse me, have you seen her?" He showed her the photo of Nicole.
The busy staff lady suddenly moved her head up and looked at Jack and a subconscious smile formed on her face.
She looked down at the phone and started at the image for a few seconds.
"No sir, I haven't seen her, you can ask the other staff around, they might have seen her." The lady said the previous smile appeared on her face again.
"She came here just a few minutes ago," Jack said again with his frown getting deep and his heart starting to increase in pace.
When the staff lady saw his expression she stood up from her seat.
"Can I take the phone?" She asked.
Jack nodded and handed her the mobile.
