Jack Kline Romane & Geschichten

“Jack used to talk about you a lot. He liked you.” “Jack?” Malik asked. He drew closer to me, silently dismissing Hank. I frowned at Hank’s retreating figure as the distance grew. I didn’t want to lead him on, but I would rather stay here with him than Malik. With Hank, my thoughts were clear. With Malik, they were a mumbo-jumbo. “Who is Jack?” “Jack Parker, CEO of Porter & Co.” “Jack,” he said with fondness, smiling. He massaged his jaw, and an imagery of him kneading my shoulders crept in from nowhere. “I knew Jack Parker. I heard the old man is dead.”

I am all established, and I have gotten done much more in my life than he will ever do in his. "He most probably would have gotten you pregnant in school and forgotten about you. That is what jocks do. Let me guess. He's a nepo baby. He has wealthy parents, and that is all that there is to him. A man like him does not deserve a woman like you. You deserve better than a jock and a nepo baby," I say. "Jake was always humble. Although his parents were wealthy, he never treated anyone as if he were better than them. I was. I was never interested in him. He is not my type. I like the intellectual type. People with brains," Claire says.

I clamped down on my voice, forcing it steady and clinging to anger—the only emotion keeping me upright…keeping me shrewd. “Call me Jack,” he snapped. “How old do you think I am?” It’s something I’d like to know. Before I could counter, Lana appeared, flinging the door wide open. “Oh.” Of course. Jack turned smoothly, charm ably sliding into place with infuriating ease. “Jack McCullen.” He said, extending a hand. “Robin’s boss. You must be Lana.” She froze, wide-eyed. Mesmerized. Does he have this effect on every woman?

Jack Jack was sitting in the club tallking with a few fellow businessmen about the current climate and the plans that everyone had for expansion. Jack was known as a firm but fair leader and businessman. He could be ruthless but he values that he stuck to. He cared about people and he wanted that reflected in his work. Tonight appeared a good night and everyone was networking well together, the drinks were flowing, world problems were being solved. He smiled. , well atleast local business problems that may span the country and world were being discussed and solved. Jack looked up and noticed a very smug Tim walking in. Tim gave sleazy car sales manager vibes and his smile was never straight

"I'm not your sweetie." Henry laughed. "You sure do know how to pick them. Let me introduce you to Dyna Collins. She's a Foxtrot five, heir to the Johnson Company." "Oh, I didn't know," Jack turned to her and lifted her delicate hand to his lips. "It's very nice to meet you. I'm James Monroe." She laughed. "Everyone knows who you are. This is your party after all." "Oh, right," Jack said. He could feel the booze wreaking havoc in his skull. He would have to be careful not to make any mistakes tonight. "Why don't I go get us some drinks then? Do you have a preference?"

He held his arm out for her as she took it and he walked over to the bar. “Jonah, I didn't even know you could move that fast.” Claire said as he led her over to the bar. “Thanks lass.” He chuckled. He pulled a chair out next to Jack. Jack standing with a knife drawn like he was headed to them. It took a second but once Claire sat down Jack put his blade away and sat down. He nodded his thanks to Jonah. “Welcome, we have what we came for now, can we leave this shit hole?” Jonah said going back to his charming self.

She was said to have the ability to control wind and rain. After Tempestas arrived, there were seven or eight more luxury cars that pulled over outside the door. When the car door was opened, an old man with a tall figure emerged from the vehicle. He was followed by dozens of subordinates. The Jefferson Clan was the super clan of the Second World, and this old man’s name was Jack. Sixty years ago, he was a well-known banker in America. It was unknown when Jack had transformed into a Demigod.

Long, raised, angry-red, it looked like a stab wound; just what did Jack do that brought him into contact with people who wanted to cut his throat? He looked up at her now, saw the intense look on her face. He smiled, drank some green tea. “Ask, honey,” he said gently. “I know you’re dying to.” Abashed at having been caught out, Claire dropped her eyes. “I’m – I’m sorry. That was incredibly rude of me. You don’t have to tell me anything, Jack. Really.” “But I want to,” he said. “So ask anything you want to know.” “Uh, well.” She blinked. “You told me over lunch that you’re a freelance copy-editor.”

Jack sat back on the bar stool. His eyes were big. He ran his hands through his brown hair. Did he hear Mr. Gibson correctly? He was Henry Kingsley? No! He was Jack. He's always been Jack. This was impossible! Mr. Gibson must be wrong. He must have him confused with someone else. "Mr. Gibson, I'm sorry, but you must be mistaken. My name is Jack. I grew up at Old George Orphanage. I'm no Kingsley descendant, I'm sure of it."
