A/N: Short chapter, quick update. Bored.
"Mrs. Cullen," Jenks greeted as I walked towards our reserved table.
"We've been over this before," I said. "Please, call me Bella."
"Of course. Bella. I don't suppose you'd like to try some of the famous seafood served here?" He smiled dryly, already knowing my answer.
"No, thank you," I declined politely.
"Then I'm sure we should get right down to business," he said briskly. He took a large manila envelope out of his briefcase, and handed it to me. I inspected the contents. Three birth certificates, three passports and three drivers' licenses. All with different birth dates.
"Mr. Jasper has paid for them in advance," Jenks informed me. Just speaking Jasper's name made him shudder.
"Say, J.," I started, placing the envelope with its contents in my purse, "Would you like it very much if I took over liasions with my family from Jasper?"
"Oh," Jenks gasped, surprised by my sudden suggestion. "Of course. No offense intended, but Mr. Jasper tends to be rather unsettling."
"None taken," I said politely, perfectly understanding where his fear came from. "I'm sure Jasper will be glad not to scare you anymore."
Jenks nodded. "Well, I'd be very happy if you'd mention your suggestion to him." He wiped his forehead, glancing nervously around as if expecting a hidden assassin to spring out and attack him. Reassured that no hit man was hiding, he rose from the table. "Now, if you'll excuse me," he said, picking up his briefcase, "I really have to get back to the office. It's been a pleasure doing business with you again, Bella. Send my best wishes to the family, will you?"
"I will," I called as he rushed out the door. "Goodbye, J."
