Chapter 119 Gearing Up (E)
Over the dining table were laid several mouth-watering delicacies.
Jin and Anderson's stomach almost growled from joy when they saw this scene.
Noticing their expressions Yulan said, "Diana helped me a lot, if not for her it would have been difficult to prepare this much,"
Diana felt embarrassed when Yulan gave her this much credit, when in reality, she only followed what was asked of her and, in the process, learnt a lot.
Yulan just winked at Diana when she saw her expression and gestured towards Jin with her eyes.
Seeing this, Diana's gaze went towards Jin and she saw an impressed expression on his face.
"That's amazing," Jin praised.
"It looks great," Anderson added.
The two's words brought great joy to Yulan and Diana.
With a smile, they told their partners to sit and started serving them before taking a seat themselves.
Now that they were all seated together, Yulan told Anderson everything in detail about what had happened to her outside the convenience store and how Jin had saved her by dealing with that man.
When Anderson learned what his wife had gone through he couldn't help but clench his fists.
However, when he heard how Jin had saved his wife from that assaulter a deep sense of gratefulness washed over him.
Until now he was only seeing Jin through his professional lens but now a part of him had accepted him as something much deeper.
As a result, various light-hearted conversations were initiated across the table one after another and everyone bonded well with each other.
By the end of their small dining session, it felt as if they had known each other for months.
After washing their hands they all talked for a little until post-lunch drowsiness started to set in.
"We'll be going then Mrs Walt, thank you for the amazing food," Diana said while standing up along with Jin.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"The pleasure was all mine. Feel free to come here from time to time. I would love the company," Yulan replied with a genuine smile on her face.
"We sure will," Diana replied back sincerely.
Generally, she didn't get along well with older women but with Yulan, she felt like she was talking to a young person her age.
Yulan would never let Diana feel that she was with someone older than herself and that she should act in moderation and with proper decorum.
That's what Diana came to love about her.
"So I'll be contacting your manager in the evening," Anderson replied.
"Got it Mr Anderson We'll meet again on Thursday then,"
Jin nodded and shook hands with him before leaving their apartment under their smiling gazes.
"That was exhausting," Jin sighed when he got back to the car.
"Was it? I enjoyed Mrs Walt's company a lot though," Diana said while putting on her seat belt.
"It's just that I've never been showered with this much affection from strangers before. I only helped Mrs Walt a little bit.
However, the way she told the story to Mr Anderson seemed as if I was a Superman who had come to save her from potential death," Jin said what was in his mind.
"Look at you down-playing your role. In her eyes of course you would look like a Superman.
She would have definitely been frightened beyond comparison after being hit so hard by that man and just when he was about to attack her again you came.
Isn't that what Superman does?
It might have been easy for you since you're good at fighting but does it matter? You did a good job and I ended up falling for my Jinny yet again,"
Diana ended her words with a light-hearted joke and smiled.
Hearing this Jin chuckled and said playfully, "Looks like we're going to be busy tonight,"
"Isn't that a definite?" Diana said while looking at Jin with expectant eyes.
Jin's gaze met Diana's for a short period as he replied while smiling, "Yes..yes it is,"
The car engine started the next moment and they finally left the place.
Time passed,
The next day after dropping Diana to her office Jin reached his hotel room by 8:00 AM.
He decided to freshen up first.
The warm water coming out of the shower faucet soon embraced him.
With the titter-tatter sound of the water droplets Jin's mind became calmer and clearer as he enjoyed the moment to the fullest.
"What if…" Suddenly an idea popped up in his mind.
This forced him to hurry up with his showering session.
When he exited the bathroom the first thing he did was to pick up a phone which was safely kept inside a drawer.
He opened the KIA app on the phone and started checking up on the various available missions.
"It really is there…"
Jin muttered to himself in jubilation.
Several missions for killing the ministers who would be at the swearing-in-ceremony were posted on the app.
Jin immediately found the one he was looking for.
'Robert Potreigo…Reward: 50 Million Draks.'
It was like killing two birds with a single arrow so Jin naturally welcomed this mission and immediately accepted it.
It wasn't just the money Jin was after but the mission points he would be receiving on the app.
After this mission, he would finally qualify for the rank promotion exam.
He didn't know what was the rank above Killer in the organization yet so a part of him was very excited about it.
With this done, Jin removed the towel wrapped around his waist and changed to a suitable attire before going outside.
He changed his appearance to that of a random passerby he had touched along the way and stopped at Rennard Street.
It was 8:30 AM.
Anil's office started at 10 AM so he was still at home.
Jin stood outside his house in wait and starting that point was on Anil's tail the whole until tomorrow evening.
He was now familiar with everything that he needed to know for the smooth completion of his mission.
