Chapter 86 Jennifer’s Bet 

Chapter 86 Jennifer’s Bet 

With a cold chuckle, Jennifer scoffed, “A secretary? Brittany is no ordinary secretary; she’s Jessica’s 

personal assistant, her most trusted confidante. In TMO, she’s second only to Jessica herself, her right- 

hand woman! 

You’ve got under her skin, and you have no idea how much she detests you. She’ll use every trick in the book to see you fired. 

What are you anyway? Just a clueless country bumpkin! 

Once this phase passes, Brittany will need no more than a flick of her wrist to kick a nobody like you out of TMO!” 

“And what if I’m not fired?” 

“One month, tops, and you’re out!” 

“And if I’m not, what then?” 

“What are you getting at?” 

“If, after a month, I haven’t been fired, and without my permission, you can’t have a boyfriend–let alone get married!” 

“What in the world? You,freak, still obsessing over me?” 

“You’re mistaken; I have no intention of marrying you. This condition is only meant to make you reflect. If 

you can’t admit your faults, then you might end up alone forever, in loneliness.” 

“Please, with a snap of my fingers, I could have a line of guys wanting to take me out that’d stretch all the way to the Statue of Liberty. If anyone’s going to end up alone, it’d be you, not me! I’m single now only because none of these men are worthy of me!” 

“So, you’re scared to take the bet?” 

Instead of answering, Jennifer asked, “And if you’re fired by TMO within a month, what’s your penalty?” 

“How would you want to punish me?” 

“I’m not gonna bother with something silly like not letting you have a girlfriend; with your charm, you wouldn’t find one anyway. If you get fired from TMO within a month, you’ll have to come work for me. Whatever I say, goes.” 

Jennifer’s hatred for Daniel was beyond his wildest imagination.. 

Yet, she hadn’t quite figured out how to exact her revenge. So, she came up with this condition. 

If Daniel was fired by TMO within a month, he’d have to work for her, at her mercy! 

When that time came, Jennifer would show Daniel the meaning of cruelty. 

Seeing Daniel just smiling at her, Jennifer scoffed provocatively.

2/2 

“What’s up? Weren’t you acting all big and mighty? Scared to make the bet?” 

“Of course not! I have nothing to lose if I win, and if I lose, I still land a job for free. Why would I say no?” 

“A job? Oh, you have no idea what it costs to cross me!” 

Meanwhile, River had finished checking Chris, taking nearly 20 minutes to complete the examination. 

Chris was under his centipede curse, a condition usually under control within a minute. But this time, it took a full 20 minutes to soothe the creature. 

River guessed that the bustle of the crowded place and the strong afternoon sunlight made the centipede more rebellious. 

In the end, though, he managed to wrangle it back under control.
