When You Are Mine

Chapter 201 - Monster Jade

Private Room

"So what's the problem?" Jake asked the moment Blake led him into the room.

"I think you should take a look at this" Blake said whipping out a tab from God knows where.

"What exactly am I supposed to be looking at?" Jake asked peering at the codes running on the screen.

"Wait" Blake said holding out the tab for them, both their eyes focused on it. Jake was irritated with the waiting. He wasn't comfortable leaving Jade with those sick bastards. He rather be there with her than here staring at nothing but the codes for his newly invented software.

"There!" Blake exclaimed when a sudden glitch appeared on the screen.

"What was that?" Jake asked snatching the tab away from Blake's hold.

"I don't know" Blake shrugged.

"Then how did it get to your attention?" Jake asked, his eyes now duly focused on the screen to see if what he saw was going to happen again.

"I got this" He said whipping out his phone from his pocket.

Jake took the phone from him, and he saw a text message...it read

'Be warned PG rated'

"What does this mean?" Jake asked, looking at Blake.

"I didn't know at first. I thought it was some stupid text which was mistakenly sent to my phone, but the letters PG kept looping in my mind till I realized it might be ProGuard. I just randomly decided to check the codes and I noticed the glitch. Though it's minor but i thought it best to bring it to your attention. I hurried home to tell you but you were already gone. What do you think this means? Do you think someone is intentionally trying to mess with the system"

Jake looked at the tab one more time, before looking at the phone.

"When you mean mess, do you mean like someone is trying to hack ProGuard?" Jake asked quietly.

"I don't know" Blake shrugged in response. "Nothing is certain"

"I worked on those firewalls myself. The app was on the hack black market for weeks, and it was still impenetrable. But I don't know why something like this could happen, most especially now" Jake sighed. This was the company's biggest project so far. The company stocks has increased by hundred percent since ProGuard hit the market. If there were to be any problem right now, the damages would be big and the company would be affected.

"It could be a mere coincidence" Blake said gaining Jake's attention as he turned to him with cocked brows.

"I mean the glitch and the text. And this could be that a bug must have corrupted the software, so you don't need to ponder much on it. A slight fix and upgrade would fix the problem" Blake said when he noticed the pensive and serious look forming on Jake's face. He didn't know if be was encouraging himself or his brother. Jake was the one in a precarious position. 

"I would like to think of this as a mere coincidence and something really minor, just like you said. But I want this thing fixed by Monday.I can't have a bug infested software before the board meeting by monday" Jake said passing the gadgets back to Blake.

"Okay"

"And don't worry it's probably something very minor like you said" Jake said patting Blake on his shoulder. It was now his turn to comfort his brother.

"Yeah" Blake nodded. He couldn't really describe how tensed he felt when he noticed this. This was Jake's personal and first project since he became the CEO of Acrosoft, and any mishap with it would put him on a bad spot and he would be labelled as an incapable usurper, especially those vying for his position. He didn't want that for his brother.

"Let's get back to this party. I want it to end as soon as possible" Jake said as he smoothened his suit with his hand.

"Sure" Blake replied.

.....

Mike, Daniel and Rick were dumbfounded by Jade's savage response. They didn't expect her to say something like that.

Jade was slightly surprised when she saw the astonished look on their faces.

'Why were they surprised? They started this?'

Looking at them, Jade pulled an innocent look. "Why are you guys looking at me like that? I'm only being honest" She shrugged again. Still seeing the bewildered look on their faces she added.

"Look guys don't get me wrong. Bad guys are way better than the good ones, they are fun, wild and exciting and they keep their flaws open on the table, but with the good ones, you can never be so sure" She shook her head as she shrugged again.

"And don't forget the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know right? So I like the fact that my man is bad to the core, and that means nothing is going to intrigue him because he has seen it all. And truth be told I want to be a little bad too, so who best do I learn from, than the captain of all things bad and evil. I think you guys still need more of his leadership, but it's too bad he now takes only private lessons and I'm the only student he's allowed to take."

Mike and Rick's Jaws dropped. Their eyes were fully open as they looked at the girl before them. This girl was a monster.

Daniel couldn't help but burst out in laughter when he saw the look on Mike and Rick's faces. He looked at Jade in admiration. He loved the girl already. What a great defence she had there. Did she really call her boyfriend the captain of all bad and evil things? Daniel bellowed out another round of laughter.

"What's amusing you?" Came Jake's voice as he returned back to them. Jade turned to look at him with concerned eyes.

"Everything okay?" She asked.

"Yeah" He replied, as he wrapped his hand around her waist.

After calming himself down, Daniel turned to Jake who was staring at them most especially at his two stunned friends.

"Your girlfriend is pure evil" Daniel said to Jake, making him cock a brow as he looked at her. Jade shrugged when Jake looked at her questioningly.

"I didn't do anything. I was just telling them how much of a good boy you are" She said innocently.

"You're a good boy right?" She asked with innocent eyes, almost as if she was asking him for some reassurance.

Jake nodded his head, a smile arching his lips as he placed a kiss on her forehead. "Only for you"

"Okay don't feed me with dog feed. My wife is absent so I don't need anything that will make me miss her tonight" Daniel snapped while glaring at Jake who was slowly turning into a girlfriend slave.

Mike and Rick got another wave of shock when Jade acted like an innocent puppy. Wasn't she the one who was saying her boyfriend was hard core evil? So when did he turn into a good boy? This girl is a psycho!

"What's wrong with you two?" Jake couldn't help but ask. Their gaze was beginning to annoy him.

"Dude this girl is dangerous" Mike snapped.

"You better run for your life" Rick quickly added, before pulling Mike by his collar so they could run away from Jake and his psychopathic girlfriend.

"Next time I don't think you have to be worried about her with those lunatics. She looks after herself very well. You're lucky man, I guess she loves you even with all your craziness." Daniel patted Jake on the shoulders before walking away too.

Jake turned Jade to look at him, and looked at her with suspicious eyes.

"Babe?" Jake called slowly.

"Hmm" Jade answered as she looked up at him.

"Tell me, what did you do?" He asked, his eyes heavily focused on her.

"And don't try lying, because I know Rick and Mike would not run away like that, especially when they had come here to sabotage me"

Jade looked at him and shook her head, "I really didn't do anything. They only said you were bad and you like to do some BDS...." She shook her head when she didn't remember the term they used. "I don't know, but they said it was some fetish stuff" Jake frowned when he heard that. He knew what she was trying to say. Why would they say such kind of things to her? Were they so bent on trying to ruin his relationship? He didn't do such things.

"But I told them I liked bad guys, most especially....you" She said as she lowered her head. She was too shy to look into his eyes and say she liked his bad boy nature. Well he wasn't literally a bad boy, he just had a bad lifestyle which he had promised to change.

Jake looked at her amusedly. His girl was making him proud. He was worried that they were going to bully her, little did he that she was the bully.

"So you love me being bad?" He asked teasingly as he pulled her closer. A smile curving his lips.

"No Mr Jake. I just said that. With me, you have to be a good boy" She said, placing her hand on his chest.

"Yes ma'am"
