Chapter 539 - Overestimated

J frowned. What does he want this time? "Where is Jacob?" She asked as she enters the elevator.

"He was at Twelve Army. I already notified him and is on his way." Arthur replied.

J turned to look at him. "Please tell him he doesn't have to and I'll just meet him at home."

Arthur nodded his head. J let him send Jacob the message because if it was her, Jacob would probably not listen to her and will start squabbling with her. Thou, she knows that Jacob would still come.

"What does he want?" She asked.

"He wants to talk to you." Daniel was the one to reply since Arthur is talking to Jacob over the phone.

"Don't worry Miss J. The other men were already taking care of him. They wouldn't let them near you." Felix tried to appease her knowing that she is starting to get worried. But, they didn't expect what is on her mind.

"Tell your men to bring Alex Ogden in the parking lot. I want to talk to him." Her words made the four men look at her with disapproval.

By that time, Arthur has already hung up the phone, fortunately, because if Jacob heard that, he would send his SUV flying over CLP Hospital.

"Miss J, I don't think that is a good idea." There goes her stubbornness again. Arthur thought internally. He knows that even if he tried to stop her, she wouldn't listen.

"Please," J said. As expected.

The four men looked at each other then Arthur sends the message to his men at the lobby. Since J wanted to talk to Alex Ogden and they couldn't stop her, they could only stay in full alert and protect her to the most of their capabilities even thou they know that Alex won't hurt her. He didn't even bring anyone with him.

At the 1st Level Basement Parking. As soon as J step out of the private lift, the other opens and reveals Alex Ogden being escorted by two of her guards. The other three must have been on the lookout for other members of the Novus Rex in case someone came after Alex Ogden, J thought.

She glanced at him then she walks towards her car. She thought in case Alex do something it would be easier for her to escape. She also felt Arthur's Team step closer to her.

"What do you want to talk about Mr. Ogden?" She asked as soon as Alex is standing 2 meters away from her.

Alex didn't reply. He just keeps on staring at her as if memorizing every detail of her face which makes her uncomfortable. "Call me Alex." Finally, he said but it is not what J is expecting. She just looks at him with a narrowed eye looking as intimidating as ever. She never intends to reply back.

Sensing that she is not going to say anything, Alex takes a step forward making Arthur and Daniel do the same.

"Leave the Parkers and come with me," Alex said in a grim expression.

J remained expressionless. She already anticipated that Alex would talk about that. She didn't move or say anything. She just looks at him waiting on how he is going persuade her into leaving Jacob. Not that she is going to be persuaded.

"My grandfather will do everything he can to hurt the Parkers unless you leave him and come with me." Alex continued. He looks laid back with his hands on his pocket.

Hmm...so he would just let his grandfather do the act and he would just sit there and wait until I come to him? J thought internally. That is not what she expected of him. She expected that Alex would mobilize all his resources to force her to leave the Parkers and come to him. She thought that he was ruthless. Did she overestimate him?

But Alex sees through her. He knows what she is thinking. "Are you expecting me to drop a bomb anywhere a Parker is and take you away with me then hide you in some haunted mansion, aren't you?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I am ruthless and would kill anyone that will prevent me from getting what I want but I will not hurt you."
