Chapter 12 Part-Time Husband (2)
“Dad, you are so cool! If anyone tries to hit me in the future, I will beat them up.”
“That’s right! We should act like a man. But you must remember not to tell your mom. This is a little
secret between us, okay?” Johnny suddenly shuddered thinking about Jasmine’s devilish ferocity and
quickly said to Samuel.
“Okay, I won’t tell mom. This is a secret between you and me.”
“That’s right! I’ll tell you how to fight.” Johnny began to teach a five-year-old child about how he used to
fight in school.
“What were you talking to him about just now? I can see that he looks very happy.” Jasmine asked
Johnny as they walked out of the school.
“Nothing much. I just told him some jokes.” Johnny said. Of course, he wasn’t going to say that he was
teaching her son how to fight.
“Anyway, thank you very much. I haven’t seen him smile so happily in a long, long time.” Jasmine
suddenly said in a very sincere tone to Johnny. However, her words made Johnny start to feel guilty.
“Don’t thank me. You spent so much money to hire me so it is my job to make your son happy. I am a
very professionally ethical man.” Johnny said solemnly.
Jasmine looked at Johnny but didn’t say anything more. After leaving the school, she said to him very
straightforwardly, “Okay, you have finished your work this week. Take your clothes from the car and go
home yourself. I will call you next Wednesday.”
“You are leaving?”
“Yeah. I have to go to work.”
“You should at least drop me back at your neighborhood, my private vehicle is still parked there.”
Johnny didn't buy it.
“Private vehicle? You mean your bike? I think your bike is cheaper than my gas fuel, isn’t it? Take a taxi
and go get it. Send your account number to my cellphone tomorrow. You have my cellphone number.
Your monthly salary will be paid to your account on time at the end of each month.” Jasmine said as
she got into her car, completely ignoring Johnny and drove away.
“Fuck! How can you be so ungrateful? How can you just took me here but without sending me back?”
Johnny cursed and walked to the bus stop with a few bags of expensive clothes and waited for the bus.
He couldn’t lose his bike as it was his only means of transportation. Although, its speed wasn’t fast
enough, it was still faster than walking.
Sitting in the bus, Johnny felt bored. Thinking about the fact that he didn’t have anything to do for the
next few days, he became a little flustered. Since he came to the Pearl City, he had been busy every
day. He had been busy from morning till night every day and almost didn’t stop to rest at all. Now all of
a sudden, he had nothing to do and it made him feel very uncomfortable. Moreover, he still needed to
make money, make a lot more money, incessantly make money. Only by this way, he could cross out
all the debts written in the book as soon as possible. But how did he find a job? He had no clue.
Although he had a bachelor’s degree, he didn’t have any work experience. His previous job was sitting
in a government office, drinking tea and reading newspapers every day. It wasn’t difficult to find a job in
this city, but it was indeed difficult to find one with a good income.
“Let’s go to the talent market later and take a look!” Johnny finally sighed and said to himself. He hadn’t
been able to breathe freely due to the pile of debts he needed to settle.
Johnny slowly rode his bike. As he rode and rode, suddenly a car drove by him. It just so happened
that the road was uneven and a puddle of water was accumulated. The car splashed the water on him
as it drove by. Seeing that his clothes which were worth tens of thousands of dollars had all been
stained with dirty water, Johnny was furious. He chased after the car angrily. As he was chasing, he
suddenly felt that this car looked very familiar, especially the plate number. Then he remembered that it
was the manager Mr. Grant’s car from the express delivery company that he used to work in.
“Damn it! It seems like this time I will have to deal with you about the old and new grudges.” Johnny
sped up the movement of his legs and rode his bike to chase the car. Fortunately, the car didn’t drive
fast on the congested city road.
The car drove not that far and it stopped at a shopping mall. Then, Johnny saw the so-called manager
Mr. Grant getting out of the car with his wretched appearance. A woman also got off with him who
looked very familiar to Johnny. This woman was the company’s financial manager Bella. She wasn’t
that pretty and was medium in appearance. However, she was very flirty, which was a commonly
known fact in the company. Usually, the men in the company liked to chat and flirt with her when they
had nothing else to do because she dared to say anything and had no limit when joking.
“Why are these two people together?” Johnny felt a little strange. Then he saw Mr. Grant directly put an
arm around her waist. The two of them walked straight ahead slowly. Johnny’s eyes widened as he
even saw Mr. Grant’s hand rubbing Bella’s butt from time to time regardless of whether or not this was
a public place.
Seeing this, there's no way that Johnny hadn't realized what was going on.
“Fuck! So, they are actually having affairs. Ha ha! Let me teach you a lesson.” Happiness exploded in
Johnny’s heart. He took out his cellphone and followed them, snapping their photos from all angles.
“This Apple phone really has a high definition and it's the right fit for taking sneaky shots.” Johnny
flipped through the photos he had taken and chuckled.
He followed the two not far behind from them and saw Mr. Grant buying purses, clothes and cosmetics
for Bella. Johnny followed them shopping around the mall for more than an hour and then he couldn’t
stand it anymore. Maybe because they too were tired from walking, they walked out of the mall and
found a place to eat nearby. Poor Johnny could only stand outside the restaurant and wait while they
were eating. He could not go inside to keep an eye on them, right? If he did that, wouldn’t he be
discovered at once? Johnny was really determined. He bought two pieces of bread and squatted in
front of the restaurant waiting for them. After waiting for another hour, he saw the two come out. They
got into the car before Johnny had the chance to come over and drove away.
He would not catch up with them if he rode his bike. He stopped a taxi and followed them. Mr. Grant’s
car finally stopped in front of a hotel. The two of them held each other arm in arm and entered the hotel
to get a room.
Johnny followed behind them silently taking photos all the way. As they got on the elevator, Johnny saw
that their elevator stopped at the seventeenth floor. He frowned, then returned to the front desk and
asked the receptionist, “Hello, may I ask what is the room number of the gentleman and lady that just
came in?”
“Why are you asking this?”
“Oh! I am the driver of our manager. He forgot his cellphone in the car and I have to give it to him.
Could you please tell me the specific room number? Thank you!”
“Then you tell me what is his name?”
“Randy Grant.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“Are you really his driver? We have to keep our guests’ information confidential.” The receptionist
hesitated.
“If not, why would I be asking this? It is not easy for us to do this job! If I don’t take his cellphone to
upstairs, he won’t be able to contact anyone and I will definitely be fired! Please, I beg you, please!”
“1702.” The receptionist looked critically at Johnny a few times more to make sure.
“Okay. Thank you, beauty! You are so pretty and a total sweetheart who has saved my day.” Johnny
smiled and then ran into the elevator.
