"I figured that I should create another list. At least I'll be able to help with something."

Jasper nodded, "That is very thoughtful of you. I am grateful for your help, thank you Bella."

Bella smiled, "It's nothing compared to what I can do for you Jasper... Would you like me to accompany you to check some of those places out?" She suggested.

"There's no need Bella. You have done more than enough. Let me take it from here." He declined.

Bella felt a familiar feeling of disappointment. He always says that, even though he needs help, he rejects it.

"Okay. Let me drop you off on the way then. I'll be going to the mall." She offered again.

Seeing that he can't decline this offer again, he nodded in agreement and followed her to the car.

"Could we have dinner together later this evening?" She asked as she drove away.

"Are you asking me out?" He teased.

Bella laughed nervously, "You're funny Jasper. You're acting like we're strangers and this is our first time going out."

"I'm supposed to treat you to dinner."

"We're friends. There's no rule to that so let's have dinner together."

Jasper agreed later on. She dropped him along the way and he found his way to the job vacancies again. Folding the papers on his hand. He tried a lot of places till afternoon and still didn't get a good response. Everyone is either afraid of his last records or they say things that flare him up.

He stopped at a cafe to have lunch before going back to continue the job hunt. He is used to hunting for jobs and eventually getting one after a few days. It has only been a week since he left his last job.

After having lunch, he came out of the cafe checking the next place on the list. His eyes stumbled upon someone crossing the road engrossed with a phonecall that the person is not looking.

A fast moving truck was going that way. Like flash, he rushed to the road and pulled the person out of the way falling on each other. His eyes widened on seeing who it was.

"You?" They both said at the same time.

"Get off me!" She yelled at him.

He got up without helping her up. He straightened his shirt, how rude. She's still as rude as she was before, nothing ever changes. He doesn't understand why he keeps crossing paths with her.

"I actually just saved your face from being crushed and thks is how you thank me?" He asked her.

She got up dusting her dress and frowned.

"Thanks but you almost broke my back. How am I supposed to thank you then."

Her arrogance made him enraged. She still has the right to tell him that after he just ended up saving her life again.

"You're quite rude and very arrogant. If you had been crushed, I know we wouldn't be having this conversation now." He said.

She frowned, "Do you want me to compensate you? Since I now owe you my life. Name your price."

Jasper chuckled, "You think money is enough to solve everything?"

Raina looked at him from head to toe, "You do look like a good amount of money would be enough to help your life."

"I think I'd rather leave right away."

"Stop." She stopped him.

He stopped, "Now what?"

"What's that in your hand?" She asked him checking the paper in his hand.

"None of your business." He was being rude this time.

Raina scoffed, "You're looking for a job?"

He frowned in frustration, "What's it to you?"

"I am only trying to pay back the favor you did for me but it seems you don't need it. I will not stay here and condone your arrogant behavior." She flared up.

Jasper glared at her, "I don't need help from someone like you. Yeah, I appreciate your kind offer. Thanks."

Raina felt insulted. No one would ever reject a job offer from her. She was more annoyed with the fact that this man doesn't know her well enough to accept help from her.

She wanted to break him down and make him stop being arrogant. She stopped him again.

"100, 000$"

Jasper stopped on hearing that. He turned again, seeing her serious face.

"What is that for?"

"To work for me." She replied.

"I'm not interested."

She nodded, "I thought as much. You must need a lot of money at this time. 500, 000$ a month."

Jasper couldn't believe she was making the offer bigger after rejecting it.

"What exactly do you need me to do for you to get such an amount every month?" He asked her.

"Work for me." She said again.

"How am I sure you are not a scam? How can you even pay me such an amount just to work for you? You didn't even tell me the nature of the job. Am I going to be killing people for you?"

Her face reddened with anger, "You!"

She took a deep breath, "Do you have any idea who I am? That money is less than what I make in a few hours. Paying you will not be the problem. And I won't send you to kill people, unless it's necessary."

"You will be working as my personal bodyguard and driver. You will swear to always protect me and I will pay you according to the agreement."

Jasper watched her rant, he still refused to believe such an offer would be valid. Yet he decided to play along.

"Your offer is tempting but how can I be sure of what you're saying. Who are you?"

Raina raised her head proudly, "I see you don't know who I am, that explains all your rude and arrogant replies. I am Raina Williams. The president of the Williams corporation and CEO of Rainhigh Group."

Jasper knew who she was as soon as she introduced herself but decided to tease her.

"I'm sorry, that doesn't ring a bell."

That made her face go hot, she became really angry and embarrassed.

"What?!"
