I Am Unstoppable novel

Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Old Wounds

 

“Why did you quit the military?” Jennifer immediately probed.

 

Letting out a sigh, Jonathan said, “It was a lot of work, and there weren’t any commissions for us. I was working overtime when others were on vacation. There’s nothing nice about working as a soldier.”

Jennifer let out a chuckle and said, “Well, there’s nothing nice about working as a security guard either.” At that, Jonathan laughed and responded, “At least my life will not be in danger!”

Jennifer also realized that Jonathan did not wish to discuss his past and was merely keeping her entertained. Hence, she stopped probing any further. “By the way, Jon, our company is looking for a chief security officer. Since you’re such a skilled person, why don’t you join my company? It’s better than staying in this neighborhood.”

 

Jennifer’s offer caught Jonathan’s attention. After all, he would not have any peace in this neighborhood as he had beat Benjamin up today. “How is the pay?” he immediately asked.

 

“I’m sure that it’s better than your pay here!” responded Jennifer.

Jonathan knew that she was right. On top of that, he did not care much about his salary. Jonathan was only trying to have a conversation with her. “All right.”

 

Jennifer was thrilled to hear that. “It’s decided then. When can you start?” she asked.

“I can start tomorrow,” replied Jonathan.

Jennifer stated smilingly, “All right. Don’t worry if your company refuses to pay your salary. We shall make up for it.”

 

Jonathan immediately grew interested in Jennifer’s identity when he heard what she said. He asked, “Jen, what kind of work does your company do? Do you own the company?”

Jennifer blushed as she spoke. “I’m not capable enough to start my own company, and I’m just an employee there. However, I’m friends with the CEO, and I can put in my two cents with her.”

Jonathan replied, “I see. By the way, may I know what businesses your company does?”

“Fashion design!” replied Jennifer.

Jonathan gasped at her response.
