Chapter 71 Fat
Jack and Cassie sat on the sofa, watching TV after eating food.
"Where did Nicole go?" Cassie asked as she looked at Jack.
"She told me that she was gonna open a business so she is out for some market research."
Jack remembered giving Nicole ten million dollars and five of those for Nicole to start a business.
Although, with the help of Ero Meter, none of them has to work, however, Jack knew that Idling around was not the thing to do.
It wound only cause more problems if a person is Idle.
One has to put in work if he wants to be content in life.
Boredom could kill any relationship.
"Oh..." Cassie nodded at him in understanding.
Soon enough Cassie stood up and went toward her room.
Jack looked at her departing back and then took his phone out. He then called Sophie.
"Hey." He said.
"Hmph!" A snort came from the other side.
"What happened." Jack raised his brows with a smile on his face, he could somewhat tell why she was annoyed by him.
"You don't even miss me anymore." She said in an annoyed tone.
Jack smiled.
"Where are you?"
"I am home, we are in the process of vacating the place and finding a new one near the college."
"You will be living near me then."
"Yes." Sophie finally let out a smile at the thought, she wanted to stay with Jack some more.
"Wanna go on a date?" Jack asked suddenly.
Sophie on the other hand listened to his words and her heart increased its pace.
"When?" She asked while twirling her finger around her hair.
"Get ready, I am coming."
"Now?!" She was surprised and flushed.
"Yes, in an hour."
"Wait, I haven't even taken a bath yet."
"You don't need to." Jack chuckled.
"Shut up, I need some time to get ready."
"One hour," Jack said again.
"Hmph!" She snorted and hung up the phone.
Jack smiled and stood up from the sofa, taking a bath and wearing new clothes he moved out of the house.
"Where are you going?" Just as he was about to exit the place a voice came from behind.
"On a date," Jack said looking at Cassie.
Cassie listened to him and narrowed her eyes.
"No, you are not, you will be coming with me today." She got down the stairs.
"Where?" Jack furrowed his brows.
"I need to do some shopping." She held his hand.
"How about tomorrow?"
"No, I we will go today, there is a sale going on."
"I can't go today."
"Why?" Cassie furrowed her brows.
"I told you that I am going on a date," Jack said again.
Cassie raised her nose and snorting, she turned around.
"Ok, go then." She moved towards her room again.
Jack furrowed his brows at her action, she didn't use to act like this when he had some things to do.
Although previously they teased each other, she never interfered with things he was doing.
"I will ask her later." Jack sighed and moved out of the mansion.
In about an hour, he was standing in the street where Sophie and he met before.
She was standing in front of a coffee shop, with a green one-piece and a handbag, she also had a blush on her face as she kept looking at her phone adjusting her makeup.
Soon she spot the car and sat inside it.
"What took you so long?" She asked with an annoyed expression.
"Someone told me that they needed to bathe." Jack smiled.
Her blush deepened at his words, she didn't realize that she came to the place so quickly as she was excited to meet Jack.
"Whatever, where are we going?" She asked.
"Where do you wanna go?" Jack looked into her eyes.
Sophie stayed silent for a bit, thinking of someplace, however, she couldn't decide in the end.
"Wherever you take me." She looked at him.
Jack smiled and nodded, "Ok."
As they were moving in the car, soon salience enveloped the cabin.
After some fiddling Sophie opened her mouth.
"I need to tell you something." She looked at his face.
"What?" Jack asked while still focusing on driving.
"You changed my life." A tinge of red appeared on her face.
"Haven't you already thanked me enough? And by the way, I am the lucky one to have you." He sighed.
"No, you don't understand. I don't know how I can say it but for the past few days, I think of you daily."
"Really?" Jack asked with a mischievous smile on his face.
"I need to find a house near you."
"I can help you with that." Jack placed a hand on her thighs.
"Thanks." A blush formed on her cheeks and then she looked at his face.
'He looks so handsome.' She kept looking at his face for a few seconds and after that with a cough, looked out of the car, ashamed.
'I wish I could stay with him forever.' She took in a deep breath.
Soon enough Jack reached a luxury restaurant, getting out of his car, he moved quickly and opened the door for her.
His hand moved forwards and a smile formed on his face.
"Let's go."
Sophie smiled at his actions and holding his hand moved out of the car.
They then moved inside the restaurant.
...
At the corner of the parking spot, another car was parked there.
Inside it sat a middle-aged man, he looked at both Jack and Sophie and clenched his fist.
His eyes narrowed and he took out his phone from his pocket and called someone.
"Hello, I need your help." The man said.
.
.
.
After talking on the phone for a few minutes he hung up and leaned his seat back. He then took out a cigarette and started smoking, his eyes fixated on the restaurant where Jack and Sophie has entered.
Meanwhile, Jack booked a table and both of them sat.
It was a sushi place.
This time Sophie took the menu and ordered with excitement gleaming in her eyes.
Although at first, she was hesitant to spend big money on food and unnecessary pleasure, however, Jack has pampered her so much that she was slowly getting used to it.
After ordering the food she put down the menu and leaned in to look at Jack in the eyes.
"How is Meadow?" Jack asked.
"She is better, thanks to you." Sophie moved her hand and placed it on his.
"I heard that she was again in the hospital."
"Don't worry, it was just for a regular checkup, she can even walk again." Sophie had a grateful smile as she talked about Meadow.
They then started talking about the miscellaneous stuff and soon enough the food arrived.
"The food is good here." Sophie ate a lot more than she used to as she was feeling happy.
"You can eat as much as you want." Jack chuckled.
"I will get fat."
"You will become cute." Jack smiled again.
"Will you still like me if I got fat?" She asked suddenly with genuine interest.
Jack listened to her words and stayed silent for a few moments and then an evil glint flashed in his eyes.
"No." He replied with a single word and with a small smirk.
Sophie pouted at his words.
"I will not like you too if you get fat." She looked sideways.
"You are so shallow." He said with a smile.
Sophie listened to him and widened her eyes.
"Shallow? Me?" She looked at him dumbfounded, however seeing the mischievous smile on his face, she understood that he was playing with her.
She took in a deep breath and a glint flashed in her eyes.
"If I was shallow, then I wouldn't be in love with someone ugly like you." She said and then a blush formed her on face.
This time it was Jack who was dumbfounded and even hurt a little.
He looked at his face on the phone and sighed.
"Am I really that ugly?" He asked looking at her.
Sophie's heart skipped a beat, thinking that she hurt his feelings. In reality, she was just joking with him.
"I am sorry." She looked at the table ashamed.
"What sorry? You are supposed to say that I look handsome."
"Why do you talk like girls?" Sophie furrowed her brows. She was annoyed by him, he always makes her fall into a trap that she can't seem to get out of.
"Girls?" Jack smiled at her.
"Yes, only girls are as clever as you."
"Then are you a guy?" Jack asked with a chuckle.
"Hmph, I don't wanna talk to you anymore, let's go back." She stood up from the table.
Jack looked at the food and could see that the plates were empty, he also stood up and paid the bill.
Sophie on the other hand waited at the door for him.
Soon he reached towards the door and held Sophie's waits in his grip and moved towards the parking.
"Let's go." He said.
Sophie nodded and moved with him and soon enough they reached the parking.
Sophie looked at the car and then her eyes widened.
"Jack..." She murmured in a distressed voice as she pointed at the car.
Jack followed her hand and also looked at his Tesla.
His heart skipped a beat.
