Chapter 51: Resolving Issues.
Katrina took Jack to a local shirt store, where he immediately changed his suit. He was already sweating, and the area was crowded with people.
Jack felt almost suffocated in the heat due to the humid air, but after changing into a loose half-sleeved shirt with a floral pattern and half pants, he felt comfortable.
" See? You should wear this when you\'re outside," Katrina said, gazing at Jack through her sparkling eyes.
"Alright, give me ten of them," Jack said to the Filipino shopkeeper, who didn\'t understand English, so Katrina had to translate.
After taking four pairs of half-sleeved shirts and half pants, Jack and Katrina went back to the car because they were getting too much attention.
Returning to the car Jack and Katrina just sat in the car, and the A/C was never this comfortable.
"Sir, should we proceed toward Binondo?" Chauffeur asked.
"Yes, I am so hungry; please take us there," Jack said.
Arriving at the Binondo, Katrina walked with confidence; although Jack was wearing a half-sleeved shirt, his charm didn\'t decrease at all; people were still looking at him, and girls were looking at him in a daze.
Eng Bee Tin, That\'s the restaurant Katrina was taking him; she always liked the food here, and it was in the moderate range.
Jack followed Katrina; he also asked the old chauffeur to come with them, but he adamantly refused.
While walking with Katrina, Jack became thirsty and suddenly spotted a shop featuring a see-through fridge.
Jack grabbed Katrina from behind; Katrina almost flew backward. Jack went to the shop and bought a strawberry milkshake; Katrina paid for it because she had all the money in her handbag.
Jack took two of the strawberry milkshakes, popped the second one, and pushed it inside Katrina\'s mouth.
Although she grumbled a little, she did enjoy the drink and took Jack into the restaurant.
Jack didn\'t know what to order after sitting down; Katrina, being a local, ordered hopia and tikoy.
The dish consisted of rice cake and bean-filled pastry, accompanied by Mami and Pencit.
Jack enjoyed the food, but he had to drink two bottles of water; the noodles were too spicy for him.
After eating their fill, they left. The chauffeur was professional. As soon as Jack\'s feet left the street, he saw the car. Jack smiled, then sat in the car. The time was 10.30 PM, so Jack went back to the hotel.
After coming back to the hotel, Jack felt tired, and the jetlag was there as well. After taking a shower, Jack fell asleep peacefully, while Katrina slept in her quarters next to Jack\'s suite.
Every suite has a butler\'s quarters just beside it, allowing guests to call the butler at any time.
After sleeping peacefully, Jack woke up, took a bath, and saw the clock; it was 8 a.m. in the morning.
He immediately looked at the random shop; every day he was eager to know what the random shop has to offer.
[Random Shop: Nuclear Warhead = 600,000€ | 23.53.20]
???
-_-
"Fuck, what will I do with this?" Jack was shocked to see such an item appearing in the shop.
Dismissing the shop, Jack wore a loose t-shirt and jeans. As he was waiting in the living room, Jack saw Katrina entering the room with a handful of dishes.
After breakfast, Jack and Katrina decided to watch a movie, as Jack had to go to the manager\'s house at noon today to unleash the Bugatti.
As they were about to watch a movie called\'Fifty \'Shades of Grey,\' which Jack found randomly.
The calling bell in the suite rang, and Katrina went to see who it was. She was shocked to see a police officer arriving directly at the hotel suite.
Katrina has seen in the past where police come to the hotel to find criminals; usually, the police wait at the reception desk and the guests go there.
Looking through the door display, she was first confused, then she saw a person who came yesterday, and there was also a fat person.
Katrina immediately reported this to Jack. Upon hearing this, Jack was not shocked, as he knew that police had to come because the incident at his mansion had not yet been resolved.
"Let them come; I\'ll be in the office." Jack ran to the office and sat down on the executive chair.
The sight of Jack running in that manner was quite amusing to Katrina, who was gazing in his direction. She laughed.
Jack, when he came first, looked ethereal, untouchable for mortals, but now looking at him, he was also a normal teenager who tried to look cool.
Katrina opened the door; she was also playing along with Jack, so her face was cold and she looked confused.
"Ma\'am, sorry to disturb you. Is Prince available?" The security captain asked.
Upon hearing "Prince," the police officer also tightened his tie. On the other hand, the fat man was just that—fat.
"Yes, even though he\'s available, you have to wait in the living room for a while," Katrina said. She then opened the door for them to enter, and as soon as they did, she slammed it shut.
All three of them shook a little, but they sat carefully on the living room sofa.
After a while, Katrina entered the office where Jack was sitting. She first laughed at him, then cleared her throat and asked, "Should I let them in?"
"Alright, send them inside."
The three of them—the fat man, the police officer, and the security captain—went to the office room; the security captain knocked on the door first.
"Enter"
"Hello, Young Master, I\'ve brought the secretary of the mansion you live in and the inspector who I\'ve entrusted that housekeeper to." As soon as the security captain entered, he was awed by Jack\'s presence, then he reported. Everything to Jack.
"Hey, I am not the secretary of the mansion; I am Secretary of the Makita Mansion Societies, Young Master, How are you?" First, Fat Man reprimanded the security captain, and then a fawning smile spread across his face.
"What about you?"" Jack pointed at the police officer.
" Ahem! I am the inspector of the Makati Central police station. I am the officer responsible for arresting the fraudster. The inspector wanted to take credit.
"Alright, so what about him? Did you give him any punishment?" Jack asked; he was more concerned about that bastard, who was taking advantage of the owner who trusted him.
"Yeah, about that. That man has shatted himself 18 times in the cell. We wanted to send him in the jail, but he also shat himself in front of the jailer, who was so disgusted by him that he kicked that man in the crotch. Now the man is bleeding from his dick and shatting inside the cell. He filed a case against the jailer. The jailer lost somehow and lost his job in the process." The inspector talked nonstop.
"What the fuck?" Jack seated upright, hearing the unbelievable story: What the fuck was happening? In two days, only this much has happened?
"Yes, actually we take foreign cases very seriously, and hearing you an important guest of our country got into so much trouble; we tried to help you as much as possible, but sigh!" Inspector looked tired.
Jack was so confused that he didn\'t know what to say more about the issue: "I guess the issue\'s resolved; I won\'t pursue this further."
Jack didn\'t want to deal with the shatter anymore, so he just let it go.
"Your mansion is almost empty. Only one family is still around, but they\'ll be leaving tomorrow." Inspector said, After seeing Jack nod, he left; his mood was weird.
"Sir, from tomorrow on, I\'ll be starting the cleaning duties." The fat man spoke; he was all happy and cheerful about it.
Jack just waved his hand to dismiss the fatty, then looked at Security Captain.
"Do you work for the Luxaviation?" Jack asked.
"Actually no, I work with a security agency, and they actually work with the Luxaviation. Why do you ask?" Security captain asked.
"What\'s your salary?" Jack asked, Even though it\'s inappropriate to inquire about a man\'s salary, Jack persisted because he was interested in hiring him.
"Young master? Sigh! It\'s a 1.5 million peso a year contract; before I was captain, the salary was around 900K." The security captain expressed his dissatisfaction with the current situation and expressed his hope for a positive outcome from Jack.
"Alright, I\'ll give you 3 million pesos a year, and bring your four trusted men; I\'ll give them 1.5 million a year," Jack said.
"And our duties will be?" The security captain, hearing so much money was the salary, asked, because nothing is free. If they pay you, they make more from you.
"Your job will be to protect me, and when I am not there, protect the mansion," Jack stated.
"That\'s it?" Security captain asked.
"That\'s it."
"Alright, you\'ve got a deal, Young Master." The security captain was more than happy to be Jack\'s bodyguard and get double payments.
Jack waved his hand, dismissed the security captain, then looked at the clock. It was time to go to the manager\'s house; his car was waiting.
Jack has never seen a four-door Bugatti before; heck, he has never seen a Bugatti from up close.
Jack first called Katrina to let her know about the plan, and it would take her some time too. To get ready, Jack also went inside his room and wore a blue-colored blazer with a silver-colored shirt.
He wore a black shoe and his rose gold watch, knowing that his Bugatti was blue and silver in color.
