Chapter 56 - Meeting up with friends

[4 months later]

Jemisha was in America and met up with her friends from collage.

Chris dropped Jemisha off at Lizzy's house.

Lizzy saw the car Jemisha got out from and Chris giving her a kiss.

Lizzy got out of the house just as Chris drove away, he saw Lizzy hugging her from his rear view mirror and smiled.

'Oké girl spill it, who is he?'

'That's my boyfriend Chris.'

'When did you hook up with such a pretty boy?'

'We first met when I was 16 years old before I came to study here in America.'

'But we met again after a year and I confessed to him 6 months ago.'

Lizzy dragged Jemisha inside.

'So is he a race driver?'

'He was…but he quit, and I helped him open up a store/ garage.'

Jemisha showed her Chris business card.

'What!!!'

'Your boyfriend is the owner of Swift Racing?'

Jemisha nodded.

Jason and Kyle arrived and rang the doorbell, Jemisha opened the door because Lizzy was in a daze for the moment.

"Jemisha!"

'He boys, I heard you guy's need my brains.'

Jemisha got a hug attack from both Jason and Kyle.

Jemisha let them in and Kyle and Jason saw Lizzy completely spaced out.

"What wrong with her?"

"Who knows."

Lizzy snapped back to reality 'You guys…our girl has a boyfriend and he is the owner of Swift Racing.'

"What!!!!!!!!"

"Is she joking?" Kyle asked.

'No it's true.'

'But didn't you guy's ask me to come because you needed help with your midterms, or are you here to discuss my love life?'

"Both" Jason said then.

Jemisha laughed 'I missed you guys. Well since it's been over a year now, let first tackle your midterm study after that we can gossip if you 3 done well.'

During the study session Jemisha taught them what they didn't understand and just simplified the question for them and they understood it better.

After they were done Lizzy came back with some coffee and they all started to talk.

"So how rich are you?"

Jemisha showed them her bank account and they all spat out there sip off coffee when they saw the numbers.

"Jesus Christ girl…How?"

'Well a quarter of the amount is because I have some stock in different company's the rest is all from my own company, ST-Labs.'

"You…you are Rose Black of ST-Labs!!?"

Jemisha nodded.

"I'm doomed…"

Jemisha looked at Kyle 'Why are you doomed?'

'Well it's like this, Kyle major is engineer and wanted to start working at ST-Labs after he graduated.'

Jemisha looked at Kyle 'So…that doesn't explain why he is doomed.'

'Well you know Kyle, he doesn't want to relay on connections…'

'Kyle just show me what you have, and I can give you some pointers if you like, but getting in… well that requires your own hard work.'

Kyle looked at Jemisha.

'If you make it then you did it on your own, if you fail that's on you.'

Kyle hugged Jemisha "Jemi your such an understanding friend" and he nuzzled her.

Jason then handed Jemisha a proposal, "I want your opinion on this because it looks too good to be true and I can't shake the feeling that something is fishy about it."

Jemisha's eyes turned big of fear and she turned as white as a sheet.

'You didn't accept it right!'

"No…because I trust your judgement more than this man."

'Reject it, and never come in contact with them ever, not even their business partners.'

Because of her reaction Jason was worried.

"Do you have a list of companies that are connected to them?"

Jemisha pulled up a file and send it to Jason.

'Jemi why do you look so spooked.'

'I…'

The doorbell rang and Lizzy saw Chris and Jack standing.

"We are here to pick up Rose."

Lizzy let them in.

Jack saw Jemisha's expression and knew she had a panic attack.

"What happened?"

Lizzy explained everything and Jack understood her panic attack.

"Rose, just show them what happened to you."

Jemisha saw Jack standing next to her.

Jemisha showed them the pictures of her brutal attack that had happened 7 months ago.

"Jesus…"

'Jemi… my god girl.'

Lizzy teared up for her friend and hugged her.

'Why didn't you call us…'

"Lizzy you should know what kind of in pack an attack like that will have on a person, you want to become a doctor you should know."

'I'm her friend before a doctor!'

Jemisha calmed down and started to tell her story. How she got attacked a few hours after she arrived in Singapore and that she had traced it all the way back to the Italian mafia, all because she refused to do business with a company that was owned by the Serale.

Her friends were listening and were shocked what she went through and that she had to change her name in order to keep herself save and hoped it would protect them.

'It seems all my efforts were in vane…the Serale still seem to mange to target one of you guys.'

Jason then had an idea.

"Lizzy since you want to become a doctor, why not do an internship at the facility where she had her scar treatment. Kyle you do whatever it takes to get in to her company here."

"But what about you Jason?"

"Well since I study mechanics…" Jason looked at Chris.

"I don't mind" and he shook Jason's hand "Welcome to the crew of Swift Racing."

'This way we are save and scatter.'

'Good thinking.'

"But Jason won't this delay you plans for opening up your own garage?"

"Well it does…but my life is a little more important than my own company."

Jemisha looked at her friends.

'I'm sorry…all because if me…'

'What are you talking about…because of you we get the best starting point in our careers.'

"But Rose…who is that big guy beside your boyfriend?" Kyle asked in a whisper.

'He is my brother Jack Conor.'

The name sounded familiar and looked him up but what he found shocked him.

"NO F*CKING WAY!"

"You have been adopted by the best sniper of the west."

"My brother was taught by you before you left the army."

"Your Noah Tuners younger brother."

"Yeh…He told me you had to leave the army, but he couldn't go in to details to why, but he always said it was the biggest loss."

Jack patted his head, "Tell your brother I'm doing just fine and he should call me if he ever wants to catch up."

Kyle nodded.

Jemisha gave her friends a warm hug and they should call her on how they did on their midterms.

'Rose, we may not be powerful yet…but if you ever need a place to hide, we will hide you away from the world.'

Jemisha smiled and nodded.

Jason rushed out of the door, "Rose take this."

Jemisha took the business proposal.

"You're a smart girl, and you can use it to make it work against them."

Jemisha hugged Jason, 'Please stay safe all three of you, promise me.'

"We will Rose don't worry."

Jemisha left and broke down.

Jack silently comfort her.

Jemisha was now determent to make the Serale family pay.
