Chapter 39: Killer Selection Test
Rachael pushed open the restaurant door and got in with Jin following just behind her.
The interior was much darker and was decorated with potted plants hanging around the ceiling and the walls were covered in portraits of forest cover. The dim interior lights also enhanced the customer experience.
"Rachael!"
"Here!"
Two distinct voices were directed towards Rachael a few moments later.
"Georgia! Alexie!" Rachael excitedly greeted them by hugging both of them. She soon took a seat along with her friends. Jin took a seat a few tables away from them so as to not disturb them. Though he made sure that Rachael and the restaurant\'s exit was always visible to him.
"Who\'s that guy you came up with? Did you finally get a bodyguard?" Georgie asked after the initial greetings. She was a tall slender woman with curvy brown hair.
The shortest of the three, Alexie, too looked at Rachael with an inquisitive expression.
"Well…a lot of things happened…" Rachael started telling them about everything that had happened to her. About how she was chased by a few people and all her experiences while trying to escape their pursuit.
"He\'s the guy who fought with all the men alone who had knives in their hands. You wouldn\'t believe how incredible and frightening that scene looked. There were a lot of cuts all over his body but he still kept on exchanging knives with those thugs…"
"Oh my god! Rachael…are you in love?" Alexie gasped and immediately took out a notepad from her handbag.
"What the hell? How did you come to that conclusion?" Rachael frowned at Alexie\'s excited self.
"It would be a surprise if she didn\'t come to that conclusion after hearing you describe that incident with so much excitement," Georgia added.
"Indeed, the hero saves the damsel and then she falls for him. That\'s how the plot usually goes," Alexie said with excitement and noted a few things down.
"What the hell are you even noting down?" Rachael rebuked in frustration.
"Nothing, just making up the future plot line if this was a story," Alexie said. It was her usual mental exercise to enhance her writing ability.
"So, how\'s the future looking?" Georgia asked in a joking manner.
"Pretty good, the heroine is going to reject her feelings until another major accident occurs and boom! She can no longer deny that she\'s not in love…kyaaaa how exciting," Alexie said as she embraced herself in excitement.
"Haha! I like that! So, when are they gonna kiss?" Georgia asked further.
"Enough!" Rachael finally couldn\'t take it anymore and shouted at the two to stop the teasing.
"Tch…alright alright," Georgia folded her hands and turned around. In the direction of her gaze was Jin\'s figure was sitting a few tables away.
"Come to think of it, he looks quite good," She muttered.
Alexie and Rachael followed her gaze and saw Jin\'s figure sitting a few tables away. Sensing the gazes Jin turned his head towards them which led to the three of them immediately turning their heads away.
"What the hell did I tell you just now? You\'re still going to be like this?" Rachael lashed out at Georgia from embarrassment.
"Hey don\'t blame me…it just left out of my mouth when I saw him," Georgia muttered.
Jin only glanced at them for a few seconds before moving his gaze back to something more important. A wild mission had popped up.

\'Well…why not,\' Jin thought. Things were getting quite boring for him so he too was looking for a bit of change. With him constantly honing his skills every day it was natural that he wanted to have more opportunity to showcase them. The last knife fight which had with those men had only left him craving for more.
\'Why are there no penalties though? Does the system already know that I won\'t reject this mission?\' Jin thought to himself.
He ordered a drink and a few snacks while waiting for Rachael and the others. After an hour and a half, they were all finally done with everything and stood up.
They had a couple of cocktails so they were a bit tipsy.
"Hey Mr. Bodyguard, I\'ve heard a lot about you from our friend here, Rachael say hi to your bodyguard," Georgia said as the three of them walked towards him.
"Stop it, you\'re too drunk," Rachael admonished Georgia who was too high. "William, can you take her to her car? I\'ll be helping Alexie,"
"Who needs your help huh? I\'m a writer! I can write a few words and the world will help me…hehe, I should note that down," Alexie blurted.
"Yeah, yeah, let\'s go," Rachael helped Alexie out while Jin did the same for Georgia.
"You got quite some muscles there huh? It feels good to touch them," Georgia who was leaning onto Jin\'s chest pressed his pecs with her hand.
"Miss…can you mind your hand a little," Jin for whom it was the first time being molested like this voiced out his thoughts.
"Oops…here, you can touch mine as an apology," Georgia gave Jin the sweetest smile she could as she turned her upper body towards him.
\'Crazy bitch…\' Jin thought. He could clearly see that she still had traces of rationality in her eyes and was just teasing him under the guise of being drunk.
Georgia chucked seeing Jin\'s helpless expression, "Oo there\'s my car~" She pointed towards a card and added, "Too bad Mr. Bodyguard, you missed a golden opportunity, I\'m generous though so you can avail it the next time we meet, Cya~"
Jin saw her enter her car and the driver soon drove her out.
"Her friends are just as crazy as her," Jin muttered and went back to see Rachael. She had already guided Alexie back to her car and was now waiting for him.
"Did Georgia say anything unnecessary?" Rachael asked.
\'Yes, she bloody molested me and told me that I can molest her back as an apology!\' Jin wanted to speak his mind but he replied with a simple "No". A man should keep his worries to himself.
"That\'s a relief. Let\'s go then,"
The two soon got into the car and left the place.
A/N: Oh, and I\'m going to delete the two chaps related to my writing about delay in updation. It\'s a bit irritating to see the total number of chaps at 41 when it\'s actually at 39. Also, from now on I\'ll be adding such things in the latest chapter\'s end as \'A/N\' or in its comment section. So keep an eye out for that!
