Jennie scooped a spoofull of food and slowly ate it; she enjoyed every second she chewed. She fixed her hair as she took another bite. As for you, you just sat there and still thinking about what happened at Mr. Lee's place.

"I'm sure I saw the tiger beside Mr. Lee" You spoke with your eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "It was right there! Why didn't you catch it??" You questioned.

"He didn't want to come so I left him. I can't just force him to come with me" Jennie spoke without looking at you but her food, deciding to pick which one she will put inside her mouth. "He's probably waiting until Mr. Lee dies" Jennie said without a care and place a piece of meat in her mouth using her metal chopsticks.

"Does this mean that the tiger is making Mr. Lee ill?" You question as you joined Jennie to eating. Jennie shrugged while chewing and looked at her food again. "Wait a minute! If that's the case then we should do something about it! And why are we eating sashimi in a restaurant again??" You questioned. For you, it seemed like they are always going to a restaurant after the two of you done some supernatural things or something.  You couldn't believe that Jennie is eating so much. Does she even put on weight?

"After looking at Mount Baekdu, I started to crave for sashimi" Jennie complained.

"Tsk, you are unbelievable" You crossed your arms. "We must go back. I dont care what it is, a ghost is torturing a human" You said with worry in your own eyes.

"Ok", Jennie put down her cup of water, "You do have to go back there" she said as she leaned on her hand. "Tell the old man that you can get rid of the tiger but with a price".

"What price?" You tilted your head and asked.

"The painting that we saw in his bedroom. I want it" Jennie smirked.

"What?" You wer confused.

"He'll give it to you if you tell him that the tiger is making him sick. The old man is rich". Jennie ate another spoonful.

"Ah, so that how you get your money from to fund your hotel"  You caught Jennie's attention. "You bribe off people who are suffering because of ghosts huh?" You smirked but your face turned blank in a second.

"That's right" Jennie smiled. "This is how your job will be from now on" Jennie's smile sly smile is still on her face. You leaned in with a blank face.

"I won't scam people like that" You said with a monotone voice. You stood up. "Is this how you bribed my mother too?" Your eyebrows furrowed.

Jennie leaned back on her chair and chuckled. "I saved you mother's life and for the price, she gave me you. That's why I'm protecting you too" Her sly smile is back on her face. "Without me, you would have been dead ages ago" She widened her eyes.
