Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 46 Hands Off

“I was on my way back from work, so I figured I might as well swing by to send Ms. Kristie lunch,” the assistant said.

Gabriel was unaware that James took up the job on his friend’s behalf since the latter was also from the same school as Gray Wolf, so it went without saying that Gabriel took James as Gray Wolf.

James rubbed his nose and noted, “You should’ve come earlier. She just had my lunch.”

“What?” Gabriel was stunned.

He was bewildered when he saw Kristie eating the greasy food on the table.

The picky eater had never fancied oily food throughout Gabriel’s time with her. Kristie’s meals were all tailor-made for her by particular restaurants, so Gabriel was surprised when he saw her eating regular food.

“Ms. Kristie, I thought you didn’t like food like this? They’re greasy. You’ll put on weight,” Gabriel exclaimed.

“Stop nagging. You’re annoying,” Kristie said, rolling her eyes. My appetite’s good today, so why does he have to make a huge fuss out of it?

The assistant was rendered speechless.

He put the food he had brought on the table and called James aside so he could talk to the bodyguard alone.

“Are you free next month? I might need you to go abroad,” Gabriel inquired.

“I thought you said I only need to take care of her for a week?” James asked with a frown. He had taken up the job only because he needed some extra money. “I don’t have a passport and won’t do anything illegal.”

“We’re flying in a private jet, and everything has been arranged. You don’t need a passport,” Gabriel replied, pushing his glasses and smiling. “It’s not something against the law. Mr. Faymon has a business negotiation and is afraid someone might want to harm him. I’ve arranged for a few men to go along so you won’t be alone. All you need to do is keep watch from the dark to ensure his safety. I can wire you fifty thousand in advance if you agree to take this assignment. That’s half of the total payment.”

One hundred thousand?
