I Am Unstoppable novel

Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Curse

 

Jennifer helped Jonathan fasten the seat belt after they got into the car. She took a deep breath before activating the car’s engine.

 

The time was three o’clock in the afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly atop of them. Jennifer reversed the car before setting off onto the road.

At that moment, Jonathan, who was thought to be drunk, suddenly sat up straight. He said with a smirk, “Jen, your driving skills are quite impressive.”

She came to a realization after the momentary shock. “You were pretending to be drunk, weren’t you?”

 

Jonathan chuckled. He answered, “Jimmy was putting on an act too.”

 

Jennifer had to ask, “What’s the point of pretending to be drunk?”

He replied, “Sharing a drunken experience is a way to strengthen our bond.”

 

Jennifer smiled. Keeping an eye on the road, she said, “You planned to look for Jimmy’s help to open up the bar since the beginning, am I right?”

Wearing a smile, Jonathan responded, “That’s not the case. I went to the bar yesterday to do a survey. Then I offended Douglas and his men by accident, but that unexpected incident had me thinking. Since Douglas is merely someone’s underling, perhaps I should try approaching his boss instead. After all, I can save a lot of trouble by working with someone more influential and powerful.” He paused for a second before continuing,” Most of the time, we set our goals as we progress in life. Some people may think it’s fate that guides them toward their passion, but it’s actually the other way round. To know your destiny, you must first take the initial steps forward. If you dare not try different methods and anticipate different outcomes, you’ll never know the possibilities lying out there waiting for you.”

Jonathan held those similar beliefs when participating in a fight. He had never planned his moves. Instead, he let his instincts take over, and his reflexes do the work.

 

The constant changes and unpredictability during a fight were somewhat a similar experience to living a life in this ever-changing society.

As the two of them chatted, Jennifer and Jonathan had safely returned to the residence they lived in at Baykeep. She poured him a glass of water and massaged his temples. Jonathan was actually fine, but he was not one to complain when he could enjoy Jennifer’s gentle care.

“Do you think Jimmy will help us?” she suddenly asked.

He answered, “He will. This is something he can do effortlessly. I’ve already proven my worth to him, so I’m sure he’ll help us to let us owe him a favor. Having said that, Jimmy is considered a businessman. Therefore, he’s smart enough to think of us as mere acquaintances. Naturally, that’s the relationship I wish to establish with him too. We’re just helping out each other.”

Jennifer sneered, “Don’t you mean you’re using one another?”

Jonathan laughed. “That’s not true. Using someone means we may cause harm to others for our benefit, but helping out one another will result in a mutual benefit. Jen, you need to learn to speak in a civilized manner.”

Jennifer was in a good mood, so she responded playfully, “I was so close to getting a Master’s degree. You, on the other hand, have never attended high school. How dare you say that I’m uncivilized?”

He explained, “You learned by reading, while I learned from my life experiences. Although we accumulate knowledge by different means, the result is the same.”
