"WHAT DO YOU MEAN" Raphael yelled at his secretary. He was enraged.

   "Am sorry Sir, but the CEO himself was the one who told me not to inform you about it" Yielda said, looking down at her shoes, afraid to meet her boss's nefarious gaze.

   "GET OUT OF MY OFFICE" he growled at her with anger evident in his voice. Yielda quickly left the office making the cross sign and thanking God that she made it out alive.

   "So that old man decided to take my sister instead of me" he mumbled to himself "okay, we shall see who will take who next time," he said with smoke coming out of his ears.

Saturday Night: 

Drake sat there looking into those beautiful hazel eyes of hers. She was such a piece of beauty that he was even short of words. Now he sat there awestruck and didn't even know how to start the conversation between them.

Earlier:  The day had finally come that Drake was going to see that beauteous face once again. He hasn't slept well these past few days because of the nightmare he had about her. But now that the day has come that he is going to see her, he will make sure she will be protected from anyone everywhere she goes after the dinner date.

   Since his father is the most protected man in Asia, he asked him for a favor and told him why he needed his father's help. His father readily agreed after hearing what his son told him about his dream. His father was also aware of how the young girl was helping her father in the company, and that is what is helping in the progress of the company each day. Dracardo contacted Officer Jacob's, the most vicious and richest sniper in Asia, and agreed with him when they met face-to-face.

    "I will pay you $1.2m [1.2million US dollars] every six months if you promise to keep her safe from any harm at all" he assured Officer Jacob.

    "Mr. Lincoln, are you asking me to become the personal and official protector of Miss Montenegro, and in return, you will pay me $1.2m every half of the year" Officer Jacob's asked in shock at the amount of money being offered to him on this specific task.

   "Yes, Officer Jacob's, and I promise to keep my word" he assured the young sniper with a smile carved on his face looking at the officer who is still in shock at the amount of money just mentioned.

     Officer James Jacob's is the youngest and richest sniper in Asia. His father was a sniper himself so he taught his son how to be a vicious one too. Even though James didn't want to do it before, he changed his mind later when his father was killed by some group of soldiers who envied his father.

He joined the army to look for the killers and eliminated them one after the other when he found them. He later joined the army for good to defend and fight for his people and through that, he was paid handsomely which made him wealthy.

     And now that he is being offered this large amount of money, he will be glad to protect her from any harm at all that comes her way. He shifted and looked at the man sitting right in front of him.

    "So what do you say, deal," Drake said and offered out his hand.

    "Deal" he shook it without even thinking

  Now here he is, sitting right in front of her with a big smile apparent on his face. She was smiling back at him the best way she could, trying to contain herself...

"

"

"So, what's up with you?" Drake asked, looking at her with a beautiful smile, yet, he was scolding himself for using that language. But his face brightened when she answered back without any care of his words.

  "Nothing much, you?" she answered smiling back at him shyly.

  "Nothing much as well" he beseeched back.

  "How is it possible that the endowed Mr. Lincoln has nothing much to do" she jabbered at him. From hearing what she said, he leaned forward to ask her something.

   "Can you do me a favour" he pleaded with her. She nodded at him as a form of telling him to go on.

   "I will feel much better if you can call me Dracardo" he requested. Jessica smiled, realizing what he was doing.

  "Okay Dracardo, but not at the office" she quickly added. He gave a thumbs up meaning he agrees with her. He doesn't want anyone to know that they went on a date together, knowing some of his employees have the hardest mouths in the country.

   "No problem with me. So please, tell me more about yourself" Drake requested

She looked at him confused about his question. "What exactly do you want to know about me, isn't this supposed to be a business date," she thought. Drake noticed the sudden confusion on her face after he asked the question so decided to explain it much more.

     "I mean I want to know what you like and dislike, and how you like to handle business deals," Drake quickly added. Disappointment flashed in his for a second but immediately disappeared. Jessica let out a quiet sigh of relief and proceeded to answer his question.

    "Well, I dislike lazy people when it comes to business, I dislike gossip when it comes to my real-life matters" she answered.

  "And the things you like?" he asked

  "That's a secret if you don't mind" she blurted at him.

  "Oh really, okay then I hope very soon you will tell me about it," he said "Of course, when you learn to trust me"

   "I hope so too," she said, returning his smile. The waitress brought them their food and they began to eat. While they ate, Drake kept on looking up at her every minute when his gaze fell on a dark shadow at the entrance of the restaurant.

"

He stared at the man that just walked in. His features look familiar, even though he doesn't know him. He walked up to a table set for him and two other men that followed behind. One noticed him staring at them and then gave him a wicked look.

Drake was stunned, he quickly removed his gaze from them to continue eating. As they say there in silence eating, his mind drifted back to the nightmare he had. He figured this was the right time to ask her what has been worrying him for a long time now.

  "Jessica, if you don't mind me asking, have you ever been threatened or attacked by someone before" Jessica was taken aback by his question and suddenly became worried about why he was asking her that.

   "No, and why do you ask me that, If I may ask" She studied his face to see if he would try to lie to her but only saw a blank face. He hesitated if he should tell her or not but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to let it all out.
