Chapter 15

We returned back to the house for a few hours and Iocked my self inside my room.

A few hours ago

With that he smashed his lips on mine,and kissed me.

I got caught in the moment and kissed him hungrily forgetting that we were in a public function.

Pulling away,I saw Michael leaving and people staring at us.

Looking at John,he looked smug.

He'd notice that Michael left too.

Without another word,I ran out of the hall to find him and explain about what just happened.

John caught up with me and pulled me back.

"Where are you going".

"To find him". I know you did that intentional!! what games are you trying to play with me here?"my mind was so messed up right now.

"Yes,It was on purpose but I had to do it that way".

"What are you talking about ?"

"Just trust me Jasmine."

I stared for a second trying to figure out what exactly is going on but I couldn't.

"Am going back to the house. Have a goodnight rest,Mr. Smith".

As soon as I got home,I pulled off my heels and ran to my room shutting the door.

I'd been here

Mrs Trenton tried getting be out of the room,but I didn't want to.

Some many questions flooded my head

What is going on between the both of them

Was the whole thing for a show?

And lastly why do I fucking care so much?

It was already Monday. I woke up after another sleepless night.

Yesterday I spent the day reading and talking to Mrs Trenton. Mr Smith spent the whole day in his office.

Today we are meeting with Mr Charles to find location for our Las Vegas branch that we will be opening in a month or two.

I had already gotten ready and hurriedly ate my breakfast to avoid confrontation this morning which I don't have strength for.

Here I was , sitting in this car, waiting for him.

After some times the door finally opened and he entered.

There was no words exchanged apart from him telling the driver to take us to the first location.

We got to the location,but it wasn't up to Mr Smith's taste .

The second one was better but it was at the outskirts of Las Vegas.

The third was the final one. It had everything that Mr Smith was looking for and was in the central of Las Vegas.

Mr Charles decided to celebrate tonight,we would all go out tonight for dinner and sign the paperwork.

For some couple of hours,I spent time inside the garden admiring the beauty of nature before going back inside to get changed.

I hoped into the shower and did a light makeup before putting on a baby pink flowery gown that reached just above the knee and a pair of black heels .

As soon as I was done,I walked downstairs to the car.

We still hadn't spoken to each other yet.

And that didn't change during the dinner. Mr Charles was so good at keeping conversation going smoothly so that make it looked less awkward.

Back to the house, John stopped me from going into my room.

"Please hear me out". he took me to the living room and we sat down at one of the couches.

For a minute,he looked like he was debating with himself.

"You have no idea who Michael Davids is. He is not a good guy,Jasmine"

"And how would you know that".

"I just do,I have know him a lot longer that you have. And I also know what is capable of doing ,he said staring me down".

"Well, Mr Smith thanks for your care and advice,buy I can make decisions by myself".

"Good night Mr. Smith ".

Running into my room,I didn't even bother taking my bath or remove my clothes.

I laid flat on my soft bed and slept off
