Chapter 550 - Flying daggers

"So, Senator Paz. Is there anything I can help you with?" Jacob asked in a business tone as soon as both of them were already seated. At the corner of his eyes, he is watching every reaction in his wife's face.

If it was another man, Senator Rizza might have thought that Jacob has a deeper meaning in his words but seeing how uninterested he is towards her, she knows that he is in his business mode. 'I wanted to have a taste of you.' That's what she wanted to say but of course, she wouldn't disgrace herself.

"First, I would like to apologize for coming here on such short notice. I think I might have interrupted you and your wife." She said apologetically.

"There is nothing to worry about, Senator Paz. My wife and I would gladly welcome you anytime." Jacob said while remaining casual and he caught his wife glaring at her.

In J's thought, 'You and I are not going to welcome her next time!'

"Thank you, Chairman Parker. Or can I call you Jacob instead?" J thought that her tone was too sweet for a business talk. Jacob again secretly glanced at her.

Sure enough, there were daggers flying towards Senator Rizza coming from J's eyes.

J glared at Jacob. 'She dares flirt with you in front of me?!'

"Whatever suits you, Senator Paz." Jacob remained casual.

J closed her eyes to calm herself before she could throw her phone into Jacob.

"I am sure you have heard that I've never brought a bodyguard with me except for a driver and just recently, I've been feeling unsafe. Someone hacked my bank accounts and I feel like someone is targetting me."

When she heard it, her ears were all on her. If her bank accounts were hacked, that means Mark Sloane's mission has already started. J looked at her cellphone but at the corner of her eyes, she is watching the Senator. She probably knows our involvement with the Society. Does she already have an idea that it was the Society who attack her bank account? Is that the reason why she is here? J had those question in her mind so she silently observes the Senator.

"Is that so? So how are we going to be of help?" Jacob asked in his business tone.

"I wanted to hire some of your people." The senator said making J flustered. That's it? That's just it? She thought.

"Okay." Jacob didn't say anything and took out some folders from his drawer and passed it on Senator Rizza. "Take a look at these profiles. Those are the list of teams that you can choose from." Jacob obviously wanted to get this over with because he could already see the look on his wife's face and that look says they have a lot of talking to do after this.

Senator Rizza scanned each page, her face is rather impatient. "Is that all?" She asked later on.

"Those are the teams that don't have a mission as of now. Do you have a particular team in mind?" Jacob asked seeing that Senator Rizza barely read each team's profile and just look at the pictures.

"I actually have someone in mind but I don't know their names." She said while she continued on turning the pages until the last page.

Jacob passed her another batch of folders and said. "See if you can find them here. But these teams were already on a mission."

"Really? But you can pull them out of their mission for me right?" Senator Rizza smiled coyly at Jacob but that was immediately caught by J making her grip on her phone tightened.

"I'll see what I can do." Jacob ignored her flirting and said before looking at J.

Senator Rizza flipped the pages until she finally stopped. "I want them."

Jacob looked at the profile that Senator Rizza is pointing with her finger and was surprised. "You want Arthur's team?" He asked with a raised brow.

The senator nodded her head. "Mmm-hmm. I've heard about them. They were skilled. One of your best. And used to be the President's private security." The senator wanted to add 'and all good looking' but she chose her words carefully.
