My Hitman System

Chapter 75: One Step Closer

The moment Jin exited the hall he was met with the expectant gaze of Dylan.

"What happened? Did you get selected?" He asked with both expectation and a hint of worry laced in his voice.

"I did," Jin smiled as he gave a thumbs up with his right hand.

"Great!" Dylan cheered as he gave a solid punch to the surrounding air—however, the moment he did that he became aware of the surrounding eyes.

Embarrassed, he immediately grabbed hold of Jin and left the place in a hurry.

"So what do I have to do next?" Jin asked as the two got inside a cab.

"Just come along with me to the agency. After I've informed the director about it, your work for the day will be finished. It would be my task as your manager to go through your contract later and see if any clauses are disadvantageous for you.

"Got it," Jin acknowledged and they soon returned to the agency.

Tyler's reaction was not much different than Dylan's when he heard the news.

"I can feel it. This movie is going to be a game changer for both you and our agency Hahaha," Tyler chuckled in jubilation.

"I hope for the same," Jin too laughed along with them and then left Tyler's office. The agency will handle the rest of the paperwork therefore he is free now.

Jin checked the time on his wristwatch. It was close to noon. Seeing this he took a breath of relief. There was still enough time to go and meet Diana.

"I thought I'd miss it today," Jin muttered to himself. He soon took a taxi and reached his regular spot.

A few moments later.

"Good afternoon," Jin said with a smile as Diana approached his figure.

"Good afternoon," Diana replied. Yesterday's meal together had formed a good impression of Jin in her mind.

"Let's go have a meal then shall we?" Jin proposed.

"I'm fine with that but this time let's go eat where I want to," Diana mentioned. She feared that Jin might take her to an expensive restaurant again and make his economic situation difficult.

"No problem, where do you want to go?" Jin asked.

"Just follow me, there's a pocket-friendly restaurant with good food and ambience. That's where I eat my lunch regularly," Diana answered and gestured to Jin to follow her.

Jin followed alongside her and the two soon reached the place. Just like how Diana had mentioned it was a good place that was easy on the wallet.

The two soon ordered the food and engaged in their conversation.

"How was your work today?" Jin asked.

"Sigh…it was exhausting. Since the branch head was called to the main branch for some work purpose yesterday we are all now in disarray," Diana whined.

"Shouldn't they have provided a substitute for him," Jin added.

"Exactly! But they didn't. They told us to manage among ourselves and as a result, the high-ups are assigning us old workers management work to reduce their load…it's a mess," Seeing how openly she was criticising the company it was clear that she felt quite stressed about the situation.

"It will eventually all get settled so don't worry about it, you'll get used to it soon," Jin consoled.

"Indeed…I'll just have to push through till then. What about you? Anything interesting happened to you?" Diana asked.

"Hehe, I just gave an audition today. Guess what…I got the role!" Jin shared the news.

"Wow, congratulations. That's great news! What kind of role is it?" Diana asked with curiosity as she took a sip from the glass.

"I'm a photographer who turns into a killer, a villain basically" Jin mentions awkwardly. He was a bit unsure how she was going to take this news since villains are supposed to be liked.

However, he soon realised that he didn't need to worry about that anymore.

"Bahaha…" Diana started laughing the moment she heard Jin's words and almost spat out the water she had just sipped.

"... that's the perfect role for a stalker like you!" She added as her laughter changed to that of a snicker.

"I'm a stalker?" Jin couldn't help but ask.

"If you're not one then who else is? For the past month, you've been coming to see me daily. You knew my name without even me introducing myself to you, you even knew the exact time at which I left for lunch every day…if you're not a stalker then who is?" Diana playfully chided him.

"...I just didn't know how else to approach you since this is the first time I've felt this way towards a person," Jin scratched the back of his hand in an embarrassed manner.

"...sigh. I still feel hard for it to be true you know," Diana adds all of a sudden.

"What do you mean?" Jin asked.

"The fact that a man who's good-looking and physically fit like you suddenly approached me someday and said that he likes me, a nerdy-looking woman, that's also the reason why I've been running away from you all this while. I thought it was just a prank…something similar had happened to me in college you know…" Diana let out her thoughts.

Jin patiently listened to her and added his point at the end.

"Don't belittle yourself like that. You're not less than any other person. You're not only beautiful but also very smart since you were able to join Zenith. There's only a handful of women with those two things going for them and you still feel bad about being nerdy? That's your greatest asset.

"I liked the part where you called me smart," Diana chuckled, now in a much better mood than before.

"Thanks, Jin, I needed those words," She thanked Jin.

"No problem, how about you add me to your contacts so that I can help you in a similar fashion in the future," Jin smirked as he slid his phone towards her.

"Quite sly aren't you?" Diana smirked in return seeing his actions.

"My intentions are pure, what do you mean?" Jin feigned ignorance on his face.

Diana laughed at this before adding her number to his contact list.

"There," Diana passed him his phone.

"You can expect a message from me very soon," Jin accepted the phone and said.

"Just don't act weirdly in messages and make me regret my decision now that you've got my number. I still don't like you, we could be considered to be dating at best," Diana said.

"I'll keep that in mind. Oh, the food's here, let's dig in," Jin said as the two readied themselves to take in the food. All the talking had made them even more hungry.
