When they got to the company, Jasmine walked behind Pedro, taking her steps slowly, one after the other.

The employees in the company were shocked when they saw him with a lady.

They gawked at them, shock written all over their faces.

They held their gossips in their throats as they waited for him to walk past; and immediately he entered the elevator with the woman; the whole place exploded.

Who is she?

Why is she following the boss?

Is the Boss not married?, He doesn't come to work with his wife , why her?

Is she a client? Or his girlfriend?

They asked a million questions that none of them had answers to, and when they were tired, they returned to their posts, but the shock of that morning never left their minds

No-one dared come later than Pedro, thus by the time he arrived, everyone was already in the company. David was going through some documents he would show to him when he heard some footsteps approach;

He raised his eyes and when he saw his boss, he immediately greeted, but his greeting hinged on his throat as his eyes fell on the person behind him.

David froze instantly;

Was that a woman beside his... boss?

He raised his hands and wiped his eyes immediately to be sure he wasn't seeing things.

Who is she?

He was sure it wasn't a client because he arranged the meetings himself, so who was she?

He was lost staring at both of them and he didn't hear when Pedro ordered him to follow him into his office.

Jasmine stared at David, who had his mouth half open; she wondered if she had a stain on her face;

"David!"

Pedro blared when he entered his office and realized that David wasn't following behind.

"Yes, Boss! "

He replied and quickly stumbled into the office.

Jasmine was standing by the side as he approached; she had her hands to her side as she watched him walk to Pedro table;

"Go tell the Legal department to prepare a contract; "

Pedro said, as he scribbled something on the paper in front of him;

"With this "

He handed the paper to David, who read the contents and his eyes shot at Jasmine immediately;

HIS PA?!

He was already his PA. Why did he need another, or was he sacking him?

David was shocked to his marrows;

Did something happen to his boss over the weekend?

He recently gave him a salary raise now he was getting another pa, what did he do wrong?

David ransacked his head, as he tried to remember where he had gone wrong;

"David, did you hear me or not? "

David was kicked out of his thoughts by his boss's stern voice; he immediately bowed a little and walked out of the office.

Pedro rubbed his face with one hand; why was he thinking of her naked?

She's enough distraction in the house, now the distraction had been extended to work.

Pedro is very dedicated to his work, he doesn't bring girls to his office. Now he's breaking rules for her.

Am I going to be able to control my emotions, and my body with Jasmine working beside me as my PA

He wondered as forced his eyes to remain glued to the computer in front of him

He was the one who asked her to be his pa, he could not possibly go back on his words; else he'll look like a big joke!

He was still fighting with his thoughts when a knock came on the door, and he quickly sat upright;

'" Come in. "

He said and David walked into his office, his face a little sullen, knowing that he had lost his job.

He walked to Pedro and placed the contract in front of him.

Pedro picked it from the table and went through it; after reading through he instructed David to go call Jasmine over.

"Go through it and sign; "

He said to her as she sat down in front of him; tossing the document to her front. Jasmine picked the document and opened it. There was a lot of gibberish written in small letters that she couldn't understand neither did she want to, what she was more interested in was her pay;

She flipped through the pages and her eyes scanned through the letters until they stopped on the numbers she was itching to see;

"25,000 dollars!!!! "

Jasmine's heart skipped a beat. In her entire life she had not seen such a huge sum. If she worked for four months, she would have a hundred thousand dollars, which was enough to pay off her Cassie's debts and even have enough to spare.

She could take good care of her brother, even though she hasn't heard from him in a while and herself comfortably and even start something doing!

Without a second thought she took a pen from the pen holder and signed her name sweetly on the blank spot, then pushed the contract document across to Nicklaus.

Although she was excited about the money, she did well not to show it.

Pedro flipped through the pages and signed on his spot.

"Make photocopies and give her one, I'll keep the original."

He said, handing the contract to David

"When do I start work?"

Jasmine asked as David turned around to do what Pedro asked him to do.

Pedro glanced at her briefly "Anytime you want".
