Chapter 417 - Budget Wise Motel (2/2)

”Do not do something stupid in this city, okay?” she requested. She knows that he is powerful and he can do anything in this city.

Then slowly, it dawned on Jagger what she meant. She was helping him because she was afraid that he will do bad things just to survive in the city, still, despite the truth, he was forever indebted to her and grateful for all the things she did for him. ”I promise, I won't do bad things against the people in this city,” he made an oath to her.

”Good,” she went to his side and placed some wads of thousand dollar bills on his hands. ”Here's some money so that you can buy your foods and other necessities.”

Jagger accepted the money with trembling hands together with his wounded pride and ego. ”Don't worry I will be a good man. I will try to find work here in the city so that I don't have to depend on you all the time,” he said.

”You do that. I will be dropping by anytime this week to check on you,” Jessy said with a note of relief in her voice. ”And don't forget your promise to me,” she reminded him.

”I will,” Jagger nodded his head. ”Thank you so much for this money.”

”No problem,” Jessy replied. ”I'm leaving now...”

Jagger was looking at the money in his hands and when he looked at her, she was already gone. He counted the money, it's twenty thousand dollar total!

Damn!

She is already kindhearted and generous but when it comes to him she goes the extra mile to impress him even more. Then how can he ever learn to forget her? She becomes a shadow lurking in his heart and mind.

He was simply blown away by the sheer magnitude of her kindness. So much kindness and generosity that he became a fool sometimes thinking that she has some romantic feelings for him even though in reality she doesn't. Jessy is one of a kind woman and maybe he will never find a woman as good and wonderful as her in his lifetime.

Again, he stared at the wad of bills in his hands, which are

a good amount of cash sufficient enough to last for a few days until he can find a proper job in the city to sustain his living expenses.

Beginning tomorrow he will start touring the city to find any work that will suit his capabilities. Then he remembered that he didn't even have the proper education on his name and no one would hire an illiterate like him.

He was disheartened in the succeeding minutes and the thought that he was illiterate bothered him a lot. Who will hire someone like him who can not even read and write properly?

This poses a bigger problem for him.

Tomorrow he will deal with so pretty and so kind. He discarded his clothes and went nȧkėd to the bathroom to take a shower.

It's already midnight when Jagger finally falls asleep after turning off the TV.

His life in the city has just begun.
