Chapter 110: Poaching



And when she observed Christine closely, she suddenly realized that it seemed that Christine was looking at somebody. And when she looked over, she realized that Christine had been paying attention to Jaden all this while.

Jaden on the other hand seemed completely nonchalant. He did not seem to care about the gaze that he was receiving from Christine, and of course, Scarlet did not believe that Jaden had not realized that there was somebody that was looking at him.

For a moment there, Scarlet could not help but feel an itch in her heart. For some reason, she did not like the way that Christine was looking at Jaden. Regardless of the reason, she just felt that Christine was not supposed to look at Jaden in such a way.

This kind of feeling was completely strange to her. Still, she was not a clueless little girl. Despite being innocent, she was quite knowledgeable in these matters. So of course, she understood the look in Christine\'s eyes.

With displeasure, she asked, "Christine, are you sure that you don\'t want to dump your boyfriend? Because from the way that I can see, it seems that you have already fallen in love with somebody else?"

Christine was finally brought back to her senses when Scarlet said those words. Instinctively, she shook her hands as she responded, "Who said anything like that? I\'m just curious about him, nothing more than that."

To say the truth, she had been looking at Jaden all this while, and the more that she looked at him, the more pleased she was.

She could not help but feel that Jaden was quite amazing. In her heart, she felt that he was an ideal boyfriend. With his combat strength, he would definitely be able to make any girl feel secure.

For example, she was not afraid of the opponents that she was facing. But of course, when the opponents that she was facing decided to resort to matters like this, involving gangsters, she would definitely be scared.

She was a clean person, and was not involved in the dark world. So, she was not in possession of any method of handling the gangsters. As for calling the police, it was completely useless considering that the gangsters were not just stupidly acting against her, but instead, they acted with a plan in mind.

It was at moments like this, that she felt like she needed somebody to protect her. Initially, she had always been looking down on Scarlet and the other lady in the group on the fact that the two of them simply focused on combat, instead of trying to start a business.

Of course, even though she looked down on that, that did not mean that she had a negative impression of the two of them. Everybody had something that they wanted or liked to do. And Scarlet and the other lady definitely liked combat.

And right now, she felt like if she had been strong herself, she would have handled this situation by herself. She would not need to be completely stressed up with the gangsters coming over to cause trouble.

Thinking about that, she looked at Scarlet once again. Then, with a smile on her face, she asked, "I am intending to hire a bodyguard. Do you mind if I take this bodyguard of yours?"

Scarlet was completely stunned upon hearing that. She had not expected that Christine was going to suggest something like that. Initially, several girls in the group had asked Christine to hire a bodyguard, but she thought that in this peaceful society, there was no need for a bodyguard.

Additionally, she only possessed a small cosmetics company. So, there was no need for her to have a bodyguard, considering that she did not have high end enemies. But now, it seemed that she was completely naïve.

This was definitely not a peaceful society. This world, possessed both the dark and bright sides. All this while, she had been seeing the bright side. And now, the dark side had also suddenly began revealing itself in front of her.

"Why should I give you my bodyguard?" Scarlet asked. At the same time, she could not help but have a bad feeling within her heart. Could it be that Christine was intending to target Jaden by having him being close to her?

"It is quite simple really. With the connections that you possess, it is not impossible for you to be able to find another bodyguard. Additionally, you yourself are quite strong. So, you will be able to protect yourself in case you face something like the one that I just faced.

So, you don\'t mind having me taking him from you, so that he can be my bodyguard, right?" Christine explained with a shrewd smile.

"Tsk! Why don\'t I use my connections to find you another bodyguard? Jaden is somebody that was hired by my parents, and not me. And I will tell you something surprising, I cannot order him around easily. That guy is quite stubborn, and arrogant too." Scarlet clicked her tongue as she responded.

Christine obviously did not believe the last statement that she had said. As for the first one, she completely ignored that part. How easy was it to be able to find a quality bodyguard like Jaden? After all, it was almost impossible to find a person with the same capabilities as Jaden, at least to a person of her level.

"Is that so? Why don\'t I give it a try? But of course, we have to come to an agreement first. In case I ask him, and he agrees, you will allow him to be my bodyguard." Christine stated with raised brows.

Initially, Scarlet wanted to immediately refuse. But when she thought about how Jaden acted, she immediately decided to agree. At the end of the day, she believed that Jaden would definitely not agree to follow her.

"Sure. You can go ahead with that. As for me, you don\'t have to give me anything in return when you fail to convince him to be your bodyguard." Scarlet responded with a confident smile adorning her face.

Christine was slightly surprised by the confidence that Scarlet possessed. Nevertheless, she immediately approached Jaden who seemed to be lost in thought.

She cleared her throat, immediately attracting Jaden\'s attention. When she was sure that he was looking at her, she immediately went straight to the point.

"Mr. Jaden, I have already realized that you possess quite some capabilities. And to say the truth, I am impressed with the capabilities that you possess. So, I was asking if you are willing to become my bodyguard." Christine stated with a charming smile on her face.

Jaden was caught off guard by the request. But then again, he looked towards Scarlet was standing a distance away from them. Despite Scarlet acting like she was not paying attention to them, he could immediately tell that she was sneakily looking at them.

And for some reason, he could tell that she was kind of nervous. As for why she was, he was not sure. Nevertheless, for Christine to come over here to try to convince him to become her bodyguard, he believed that Scarlet had definitely agreed.

Jaden could not help but raise his brows a little. He had not expected that Scarlet still possessed the intention of chasing him away. He had been training her for the past few days, and from his observation, she seemed to be intent in having him train her.

So, he wondered why she seemed to be so intent in chasing him away, despite knowing the advantages that he possessed towards her. Nevertheless, he was not intending to leave at all.

When Christine noticed Jaden looking at Scarlet, she thought that he was afraid that Scarlet would not agree. So, she hurriedly added, "You don\'t have to worry about Scarlet. She has agreed that as long as you agree to become my bodyguard, she is not going to object."

Jaden could not help but feel a little funny in his heart. It seems that Scarlet did not want him to know that she wanted him to leave. So, she made it look like it was going to be his choice to leave, when she was the one that was suggesting for him to leave and go and work for Christine.

But she was unlucky. After all, Jaden was not intending to leave at all. Not to mention that if he left, he was going to lose the system, he had to ensure that he followed her.

With how troublesome she was, she would obviously encounter more danger. And with that, he would be able to receive more system missions, and system rewards.

"I\'m sorry. But I\'m not intending to leave my current client, and work for another one." Jaden responded resolutely.

Jaden\'s response surprised Christine. She had not expected that Jaden was going to refuse so resolutely. He had not even asked for the working conditions and so on. Instead, he had refused, clearly not interested in working for her.

She could not help but feel a little disappointed. At the same time, she could not help but feel that perhaps there was something going on between Jaden and Scarlet. After all, from the way that Scarlet was behaving, it was clear that she did not want Christine to take Jaden away.

But now that Jaden was not willing, Christine did not want to push any further. So, she resigned. She looked at Jaden and said, "In case you change your mind, you can find me here."

Jaden looked at Christine who left, who seemed to be clearly disappointed. It was due to not wanting to make her even more disappointed, that he held back telling her that she had to give up on him working as her bodyguard. After all, he had no intention of leaving the Johnsons anytime soon.
