My Hitman System

Around 7 PM

Jin and Diana were chilling in the hotel's pool. Since it was evening time, there were also fewer people in there. As a result, Jin and Diana were able to have a corner of the pool all to themselves.

"It feels so refreshing," Diana sighed in relief. It was clear that the swimming pool had rejuvenated her exhausted self.

"Aren't I a good boyfriend?" Jin asked with a chuckle.

However, Diana didn't reply. She was busy enjoying the experience of water moving around all around her body as she floated on her back.

Jin just shook his head in amusement when he saw this. He suddenly got an idea and went underwater. A few seconds later his arms wrapped around Diana's waist from below and pulled her shocked self inside.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

"That wasn't funny!" Diana rebuked Jin after catching her breath. It was clear that she was very displeased with his actions.

"If you're unhappy, stand up for yourself," Jin splashed a huge chunk of water at her. Diana was not prepared for this and ended up swallowing a huge gulp of water.

Diana finally snapped and started fighting back. Thus the first official duel began between the couple. The few people around who saw this couldn't help but chuckle to themselves seeing the young couple like this.

At that moment, in the hotel's presidential suit,

A woman in an elegant white suit made her way towards the balcony. She glanced down at the water fight going on in the swimming pool before averting her eyes away with indifference.

The next moment she lighted up a cigarette. Her mind finally felt a bit lighter and she sighed in relief. Smoking and exercising were the only times when her mind felt free, if not for the two's support she would have broken long ago from all the matters she had been dealing with.

She had just returned after giving her bedridden father a visit. He had been like this for the last six months after suffering a severe stroke.

Being the only daughter and the successor of her father's Automotive Company all the responsibilities were now on her shoulders.

Initially, she was able to handle everything but matters worsened with time. A problem popped up in the latest car they had been developing. At first, it was only seen as a minor problem and the engineers rectified it and launched the vehicle in the market…However, a severe flaw with the air conditioning system design led to several vehicles going up in flames.

Headlines appeared in the leading news channels with titles resembling "GA Motor's Big Blunder!"

Assembly lines stopped,

Sales dwindled,

Share prices dropped,

Thus, GA Motor's reputation as the leading Automobile manufacturer came to an abrupt end and they were on the verge of bankruptcy. In the end, she sold 10% of the company's stakes and procured a sum of 4 billion Dykes from another rival company.

With the additional funds, she was barely able to keep the company afloat although a huge number of employees were laid off to maintain that. This further affected the company's image but it was something she was forced to do otherwise the company would succumb.

Her father's years of efforts would turn to dust. How could she allow something like that?

"What would Dad do in the current situation..." She muttered while looking at the nightly sky.

Her mind seemed to drift back towards the hospital scene where her father's body lay on the bed, totally unresponsive to everything going around him. If not for the constant beeping sounds being emitted from the ECG machine, everyone would think that he was dead.

After finishing three to four cigs she retreated back to her suite. An online meeting with a possible investor was due and she needed to make sure that she bagged this deal.

Meanwhile, Jin and Diana had long returned to their room. They changed into appropriate clothes and went downstairs to an in-house restaurant for a hearty meal. The food was delicious and both of them savoured it with delight.

"A part of me wants me to live like this every day…" Diana said after taking a bite.

"What's stopping you? My place is always open for you," Jin replied.

"The fact that I don't want to become a lazy piece of shit," Diana gave an instant reply.

"You mean you aren't now?" Jin chuckled.

"Hey! Of course, I'm not! I wash all my clothes, prepare my meals, clean the house…I do everything that is required all by myself!" Diana felt attacked by Jin's comment and replied in a little agitated manner.

"Wow, you're serious?" Jin made a surprised expression and continued, "I'm sorry for underestimating your prowess in housekeeping my lady, please forgive your lover for his insolence," Jin apologised to Diana in an exaggerated manner.

"An apology is not enough, you'll be dealt with one hundred whippings," Diana snorted seeing that he was making fun of her.

"My lady sure has some heavy tastes," Jin smirked all of a sudden.

"I-" Diana soon realized the mess up.

"I mean the servants! They would give you the whippings, not me!" She explained.

"There's nothing to hide honey, since you're my love I'll naturally allow you to whip me until you're satisfied," Jin continued with his joke.

"Keep talking, I'm not going to reply anymore," Diana harrumphed and focused her attention back on the dinner.

Jin had a hearty laugh seeing this which only worsened Diana's mood.

'I'll not talk with you the whole night,' She thought in anger.

She stuck to her words. Even when they reached their room she was still angry at him and refused to talk to him.

'Well, it is what it is,' Jin thought. It was only a childish joke and she was reacting childishly as well. She should be fine after a while.

Diana soon went to the washroom to her nightgown. When she returned she saw Jin who had changed his clothes to an athletic one.

Curiosity took over her and she couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"

Hearing this Jin smirked. A bit pleased with himself. She had finally opened her mouth.

"Going to the gym. Wanna come?" Jin asked.

Just from listening to Jin's words exhaustion took over Diana and she replied, "Forget it…I'd rather sleep," Unlike Jin, she didn't sleep in the afternoon and was way too tired.

"Alright, see ya," Jin soon closed the door behind him and left for the gym.
