Chapter 5 - Strange Man

Jackson and I sat down on a small bench together all while I tried to figure him out.
I don't know why, but I was drawn yet wary of him at the same time.
The suit that he was wearing was as crisp as a new banknote, and dyed to a uniform share of intense black.
Jackson Winters
Jackson Winters
Sophia, do you like money?
I froze. That's... a strange question.
Sophia Quinn
Sophia Quinn
Um, as much as anyone else, I guess?
Jackson Winters
Jackson Winters
Is that so? So you like it then.
Ever since I was little, money has been the source of so many problems in my brother and I's life.
Sophia Quinn
Sophia Quinn
No.
Sophia Quinn
Sophia Quinn
Not really.
Jackson Winters
Jackson Winters
You don't? Could I ask you why?
Sophia Quinn
Sophia Quinn
...
Sophia Quinn
Sophia Quinn
Because it's at the center of most human conflicts.
Sophia Quinn
Sophia Quinn
And that applies to those who don't have any to those who have more than they know what to do with.
Jackson Winters
Jackson Winters
...
Had I offended him? He hasn't said anything in the last minute.
The silence between our two bodies is just so tense, you could cut the atmosphere with a knife.
Peter, please return as fast as you can.
Jackson Winters
Jackson Winters
You don't seem to be enjoying yourself.
I turned towards the man around five to six years older than me and nodded.
Sophia Quinn
Sophia Quinn
I don't know anyone here, and I don't want to make a bad impression on anyone that might be one of my brother's clients.
Jackson Winters
Jackson Winters
So you'd stay seated for him? Staying away from trouble?
Jackson Winters
Jackson Winters
Unfortunately, you'll always attract trouble wherever you go.
He extended out his hand and smiled.
Jackson Winters
Jackson Winters
So why don't we get out of here?
Wait, seriously?
Sophia Quinn
Sophia Quinn
But my brother-
Jackson Winters
Jackson Winters
Your brother will be fine.
Jackson Winters
Jackson Winters
I'll just tell him that I drove you back home after you felt a little ill.
I looked up at the mature-looking man who seemed to have everything going for him.
It looked like if he sneezed, hundred bills would burst out of his nostrils and he's chuckle like it's his everyday.
But I was feeling tired, and I'm being honest, the incident with the two men stealing my necklace shook me.
Sophia Quinn
Sophia Quinn
Can I... take you up on that offer?
He smiled and got up, extending out his hand.
Jackson Winters
Jackson Winters
Of course.
Well, since tomorrow was a school day, I asked him to drive me to my school apartment, where I spent most of my time during the weekdays.
When the weekend starts, I move up to my brother's apartment and spend as much time as possible.
I didn't realise at the start of it that it would mean we'd be alone, together, in a house fit for two people to live in.
