Chapter 129: First Encounter
Jason and Juliet decided to meet on a later date with their lawyers to sign the official contract, and Jason left the restaurant after turning down another offer for a meal. Jason knew that Juliet was only trying to build their relationship, but he had to get back to Gina soon, so he really didn’t have time.
Jason had called Gina a few minutes ago, and she told him that she was waiting at a diner close to a realtor building, and Jason began to drive there.
Meanwhile, Gina was looking through social media while eating some fries from the diner. The owner of the diner was an old lady with a kind smile and a grandmotherly attitude, and she had given Gina some free fries when Gina told her that she was waiting there for her boyfriend. Apparently, the woman was a sucker for young love and she didn’t hesitate to give Gina free food after hearing some stories about Gina and Jason’s relationship.
Gina thanked the woman and relaxed at the seat by the window while eating, but she suddenly stopped when someone came to sit opposite her. Gina looked up from her phone at the man. He was a plain-looking person with black hair. He was wearing a full black suit and dark shades, and Gina felt slightly uncomfortable as she slowly put her phone away to give the man her full attention.
"Can I help you?"
The man was silent for a few seconds, and Gina debated on whether or not she should leave right then, but then the man reached into his suit and produced a single black card while speaking.
"My name and identity are unimportant, but recent activities by you and your boyfriend have placed you within the sights of the company I work for."
"And what company would that be?"
"That’s not important either. But for the sake of context, you may call us Gaia."
Gaia? Gina had never heard about such a company before, and she knew from the way the man was acting that they weren’t exactly a publicly known organization.
The man continued.
