The Bodyguard System

Chapter 191 : To the Mall Again

Two days later, Jaden met up with Ruby, and she handed over the documents that showed the transfer of property to him. The two properties were the club; dynamic nightclub, and the bar.

Jaden did not care that much about the two businesses, but since it was the reward that he had gained after helping Ruby, he did not refuse to take it.

Within the past 2 days, he did not leave the Johnson residence. The reason behind that being that Scarlet did not leave the residence as well. It seemed that she was being restricted from going out.

As for the reason behind that, Jaden did not know. In any case, for the time being, he had already completed what he had to do. The only thing that he would have to take care of would be the renovation, rather, the demolition and reconstruction of the apartment that he had been given by Scott.

He had already contacted a construction company, and had discussed with them about the demolition and reconstruction of the building. Of course, it was going to cost a lot more, considering that despite Jaden wanting to maintain the same design of the apartment, it was going to use high quality materials.

So, Jaden gave the deposit of $2 million. That was to ensure that the company would be able to start the demolition first. He was planning on getting more money later on, as it was impossible for 2 million dollars to be enough to be able to complete what he had in mind.

As the demolition continued, Jaden focused on thinking about what to do. Right now, he was thinking about going to a first tier city. Of course, that was going to happen only if the system allowed him to change a client.

But before going to another city, he would have to take care of the problems here first. That would definitely include those relatives of his who had taken away what was rightfully his.

This was something that had led Jaden thinking about something. 500 million was not something big in those big cities. But in a city like this, it was definitely something.

So, for the past 2 days, Jaden had been thinking about acquiring a company within this city. That way, he would be able to deal with those relatives of his. But before selecting what company he was going to take the shares of, it was better for him to know the strengths and the weaknesses of the enemy that he was going to deal with first.

While Jaden was thinking of that, suddenly, Scarlet came over to meet him. She claimed that she wanted to go out and loiter around the city for a while, considering that she had been within the residence for the past 2 days.

It seemed that Clifford did not have any objections to that. So, Jaden accompanied Scarlet, and the two of them left the residence in Scarlet's Ferrari f8 spider.

Jaden had decided to take this opportunity to see what car he would purchase the moment that he could get enough money to do that. In fact, he did not want anything of much luxury. Instead, just a normal car would do.

The two of them Headed towards People's Choice Mall. The reason why Scarlet had selected this mall this time was simply because the last time that they had gone there, they had no choice but to end the trip prematurely after Kevin appeared.

This time, she wanted to buy a few things, and she wanted to buy a gift for her mother as well. After all, her mother's birthday was going to be on Saturday.

Currently, she did not have anything in mind, but she just had to get something for her mother. At this moment, she was blaming herself for not paying much attention to her mother. After all, despite the many birthday celebrations that her mother had been having, she had always been giving her mother presents, but they were not what she treasured.

She had never even bothered to care much about what she really loved. But this time, it was completely different. It was just that she had yet to know what she was going to buy for her mother.

Jaden did not know what Scarlet was thinking about. Instead, he took out his phone, and made a balance inquiry of his bank account. A few seconds later, a message came back with his current bank account balance.

Previously, after giving away 2 million for the demolition of the apartment to begin, Jaden remained with $65,721. But the previous day, Clifford had transferred $50,000 to him. According to Clifford, that was going to be considered as advanced payment for the next month that Jaden would be working for the Johnsons.

Jaden did not bother much about it. In any case, with that money, he finally had enough money to purchase a car. Additionally, it was not as if he was planning to change the job that he was currently doing.

In his mind, Jaden thought that perhaps Clifford was afraid that Jaden might be poached away. And for that reason, he decided to pay next month's salary in advance.

Despite all that, Jaden appreciated it nonetheless. Now, the only thing on his mind was how to find money in order to make sure that after the demolition, he would be able to construct the apartment.

Of course, he was expecting that if he completed a mission, the system was going to give him a reward that was cash. But of course, there was a good possibility of that not happening. After all, until today, it had only happened once.

Despite all that, Jaden still had another way of getting the money. Currently, he possessed 51% shares of a company, and he could claim 100% shares of yet another company worth $500 million.

It was not Impossible for him to get one or two million dollars to help him with the construction of the building. In any case, even if the liquid cash that the two companies would be having was limited, it was definitely not to the extent that they could not fork one or two million dollars, right?

While Jaden was thinking of that, the two of them had already gotten inside an elevator. Scarlet completely ignored Jaden who was thinking about something, and pressed the 12th button, indicating that they were going to the 12th floor of the building. That was where women could find what they wanted.

Inside the elevator, there were two other ladies. The two of them kept on chatting with each other about the things that they were going to purchase, while throwing glances at Jaden and Scarlet.

A few seconds later, the door of the elevator opened on the 8th floor, where somebody else came in. Then, they continued to the top floor without stopping, and everybody exited, except for the middle-aged man who had entered mid-way.

Jaden and Scarlet began moving around on this floor. At this moment, Jaden had finally concentrated on what they were currently doing. So, he simply followed behind Scarlet, wondering what she wanted to purchase.

But they had been going around for quite a while, almost 10 minutes, but Scarlet seemed to be going around, without any sense of direction. They had even gone past several stores a few times, attracting the attention of the salespersons.

With that, the two of them received several gazes added with several salespersons trying to invite them into the stores. But of course, the two of them did not enter into any, considering that Scarlet did not seem to have made her decision on what she was going to buy.

"Hey, what are we looking for?" Jaden could not help but ask curiously after more than 10 minutes of aimless loitering around the 12th floor of the mall.

Of course, he understood that Scarlet was not obliged to respond to him, and explain to him why they were moving around. In any case, it was his duty to accompany her wherever she was going, and ensure her safety.

Upon hearing Jaden's question, Scarlet finally stopped walking. She turned around and looked at Jaden who was walking behind her.

Currently, Scarlet was wearing a plain white T-shirt, baggy blue jeans, and white sneakers. Her medium-length red hair was left loose behind her, complementing her beauty.

Something that Jaden had noticed as of recent was the fact that, Scarlet did not seem to be intending to reduce the length of her hair. Over the past 4 weeks, ever since he got to know her, her hair had been growing, and currently, it was already almost reaching shoulder-length.

"You know, I'm not even sure about what I am supposed to buy. I have been thinking about everything that I know about my mother, but I don't really know what she loves. She is always busy together with my father and the family business, that my interaction with her is quite minimal as of recent." Scarlet stated after a moment of thought.

Jaden was slightly surprised upon hearing her response. And when he thought about it, what she had said was actually true. After all, both Clifford and Lynette were quite busy. So of course, it was quite difficult for them to interact with Scarlet.

So, it was not that strange that Scarlet did not know that much about her parents. Yet here she was, wanting to buy something for her mother, despite not knowing what her mother preferred.

"Why don't you just ask her? That is going to solve everything, right?" Jaden asked.
