Chapter 13 Why Isn’t He Affected Too??

Leaving Kingsley's study,Jasmine silently dragged herself to her bedroom. Her mood has completely dampened.

She silently wore her shoes before heading downstairs again to eat. As she ate,she tried to divert her mind from thinking about her encounter with Kingsley in the study room.

His touch...

Noticing that her thoughts were starting to wander again,she dropped her spoon after eating just a little before grabbing an apple.

While chewing on the apple,the front door was opened and Raymond came into the living room. His eyes directly went to the dining hall and he saw Jasmine who was staring back at him.

Raymond smiled warmly at her and she smiled solemnly at him.

"Good morning, Mrs Elm." He greeted and she nodded before greeting back.

She was almost done with the apple when Kingsley came down from the stairs. His faint footsteps made her turn her head towards his direction and they both locked eyes.

Jasmine quickly averted her gaze,she was too ashamed to look at him because of what he did next to her before making her sign the contract.

She had initially declined to sign the seemingly ridiculous contract but he stood up from his seat and matched towards her.

He pinned her close to the wall and whispered these words to her. "The next time you leave like that,I'll place you in a position where you can't leave the bed for two weeks straight. Try me"

Jasmine shook her head vigorously to clear his voice from her head and Mrs Scot had to ask. "Are you okay,ma'am?" She said softly and Jasmine's face reddened in embarrassment.

Jasmine couldn't say a word. She just grabbed her bag and was ready to leave but Kingsley called out to her. "Jasmine.."

She was already standing close to the front door while he was inspecting their contract with Raymond standing close to him.

Without even looking at her,he said. "Come home early. My grandfather invited us to dinner at his place by 8Pm." He told her casually, making Jasmine wonder if what he said to her earlier was all in her imagination.

He didn't even seem affected as if those words could be casually said. Or was she the one reading too much meaning to his words?

Jasmine hummed nevertheless before leaving. She didn't notice his eyes following her as she left through the front door.

Jasmine got out of the house and then a realization hit her,making her face palm.

"Oh shit" she cursed under her breath. Her face fell when she realized that this wasn't her father's compound and that her cars weren't available for her usage.

She kept grumbling as she turned back to go inside. As expected,she saw Kingsley still having a discussion with Raymond who was so focused.

Hearing the clicking heels,Kingsley and Raymond were distracted by the sounds as they turned to face her. Kingsley stared at her for a while with a calm look on his face.

"Can I borrow your car? I left mine at my father's house." Jasmine said before clasping her lips together,slightly embarrassed.

Kingsley only nodded before turning his attention to Raymond again. That was Jasmine's cue to go grab the keys and leave.

She didn't waste time,Jasmine rushed towards the garage to find the car.

She had randomly chosen any keys so she pressed on it and soon,a siren went off. Jasmine found the car that was making the sound and she gasped in horror when she saw the model of the car.

It was a Bugatti Divo!

'Do I have to ride this to work??' She screamed in her head while covering her mouth with her hand. She had always wanted to have this car but never really thought of buying it cause it was so expensive.

Meanwhile,Kingsley had two of them in his garage along with other expensive cars and from the looks of things,it must have been a long time since he drove them.

Jasmine grinned from ear to ear as she happily opened the car door and got into the car. The rich smell enveloped her,then,she knew the difference between being rich and being super-massive Rich.

She gladly ignited the car,a wide smile covered her face as she drove out of the garage smoothly.

This was it!!! Living one of the best lives!!

'Getting married to him wasn't such a bad idea. ' Jasmine thought as she sped along the road with the fancy car.

She could feel the surprise gazes from the other employees who were coming to work. She proudly drove the car into the parking lot while enjoying the attention she was getting from her co-workers and some other people she doesn't know that work in the Trevor's groups.

She turned off the car engine and got out of the car with an air of superiority. She could feel those bewildered gazes but she couldn't care less. She went to the office building and entered her department.

She was the team leader in a designing department and it was really convenient for her. She chose this role even though her father had kicked against it.

"Good morning,Miss Trevor" All her co-workers greeted while giving her some weird looks.

She could tell what's on their minds but she didn't care about any of that. "Good morning everyone but it is Mrs Elm for you. Bring in your presentations in six minutes,we don't have enough time left." she said while walking directly to her cubicle.

Their responses fell short to her ears as she settled in her seat and was ready to switch on her system when her phone rang.

She quickly dropped her keys into her drawer before grabbing her phone from her bag. Seeing the caller,her earlier smile reappeared on her face as she picked the call and grinned. "Hey girl."

"Mamacita,I saw the news!! What the fuck happened between you and Jack?? Why Kingsley elm?? Aren't you scared?? Oh my! I'm having a headache already." Jasmine's best friend, Nicole Morgan's voice gushed out impatiently from the other side.

Her series of questions made Jasmine roll her eyes. "Those are a lot of questions! Take a breath,Nico." Jasmine smiled while trying to arrange her table and place the files on her table in their right positions.

Nicole sighed "Girl,a lot has happened with you,I need all the full details." She was always the juicy-gist lover.

"Well,we both know you are at work. Don't let your snobbish manager curse you for slacking off. I'll call you when I get back from work." Jasmine said with a sad smile on her face.

"Unfortunately but hey.." she still sounded enthusiastic as she told Jasmine. "I won't forget to call you later today,you need to tell me everything,nothing should be left out!"

"Yes,understood." Jasmine nodded as if Nicole could see her.

Nicole suddenly sighed at the other end. "Now,I wish I was there to comfort you. I immediately knew that Jack was a jerk but you never believed it. I hope you're not hurt." her voice carried sincere concern and worry, making Jasmine smile a little bit.

How could she tell Nicole that she was hurt, killed and reborn?? Nicole would only laugh at her.

"Well,We'll talk in the evening. Tell my goddaughter,Hailey, that Aunty says she loves her." Jasmine changed the topic and Nicole laughed before ending the call.

After the call,Jasmine dropped her phone before switching on her laptop. Just then,her phone started to buzz due to incoming texts. Jasmine was immediately displeased.

The phone kept vibrating,which was a major distraction to Jasmine. She annoyingly grabbed the phone and her anger reached its peak when she saw that she was spammed with multiple texts from an anonymous person.

She tapped on the text and her eyes shrieked back when she saw the multiple death-threats,making her eyes dim. She didn't need a soothsayer to tell her who this person was!
