"What going on here?" Nicholas ask as he strode forward to the kitchen. Jasmine eyes were now turned to Nicholas with his fierce eyes.

"She wanted to slap me!!!" The lady screamed earning sighs from Nicholas.

"Domain, you could have called before coming in. Privacy is needed in here" He stated which took jasmine by surprise.

She looked over at him with a surprised gaze.

"Moreover she's my wife and you should know that" he declared with a curvy smile and a walk to Domain side, he held her hand and face Jasmine who was was still trying to hide her blushing face.

"Jasmine, this is Domain my sister and Domain this is my wife."He introduced and she hissed.

"I can't believe you could moved on so quickly. I didn't expect this from you Nic!" She yelled angrily, disappointment laced in her tone.

Jasmine gaze turned into a curious gaze.

"Domain, don't start this here" he warned but she just hissed and stride outside to pick her bag.

"I shouldn't start? Nic, you're a betrayer" She took her bag and walked out on them.

Nicholas turned to Jasmine and his face turned red. "Never in your life would you raise your filthy hands on my sister. Or, you would face the consequences." He warned and she raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"She called me a……"

Nicholas raised up his hand, ordering her to shut up. "I don't need excuses or explanation. I just warned you now and I suppose you know your limits." He declared and went up the stairs without turning back while her eyes were fixated on him.

The morning breeze circulated through the presentation hall with a touch of hotness as the three musketeers presented their work.

After the presentation, thet stood up and shook hands with their clients and with a beaming smile, they matched outside.

"I can see someone is happy today" A voice said from their back and they all turned back but jasmine was more shocked to see who it was.

"Justin!!" The three girls chorus and he laughed.

"Well, well I'm the one."

"Why are you here?" Jasmine asked with an angry tone. "What do you want!" She questioned, her friends smiled and walked into the office while she dragged him down the stairs into her car.

"Why are you here? What do they want again this time!"

Justin sighed with his hand plastered on his forehead. "Will you just take a deep breath? It not always about family sometimes."

"Then what is it about? You could have called before coming not just you barging into my company like that."

"Please calm" He tried calming her down but she just swift his hand away from her shoulder.

"Then just spit it out and stop driving me here and there. Come straight please" she ordered and he signed.

"Ella's birthday is in a week and I know you forgot about it"

Jasmine eyes widened at the revelation. She had forgotten about it.

"Who said I forgot?"

"Your face says otherwise. I swore that you got shocked when I told you. All I'm asking now is for you to attend her birthday party, it really means a lot to her. She didn't want me to come but I had to" He said with his hands hitting each other.

"You could have called me instead. Is that all? Because I'm aware of it. " She told him and he smiled.

"Okay, you never give up for once, so I'm used to it." He rolled his eyes as he was about opening the car door. "Anyways, Mom and Dad wants your husband at the party" he announced and her eyes widened.

"What??"

"Yes, they insisted." He winked at her then got down from her car with a beautiful smile.

Jasmine closed her eyes tightly after he was gone, with a loud thud From the car.

"Whyyy?"

It was clear, Nicholas wouldn't come but then they were bent on destroying her.

Jasmine cleaned her teary eyes and confidently walk into the company. "Get me svy" She declared to get secretary in anger as she shook with great fear.

"Okay ma'am"

She got into their combined office and their eyes were on her. "Have you been crying?" Flora asked, concerned laced in her voice but a deep knock followed.

"Come in"

Svy strode in looking scared. "You called for me ma'am"

Jasmine stood up in annoyance. "Yes I called for you. I gave you a simple task to do but you failed woefully. Then why are you here again? Why haven't you resign yet when you know you aren't good enough?" She questioned and the young man bowed his head in shame.

"Where are the other client we were scheduled to meet today?" She asked and he raised his head up.

"I cancelled few because I thought you wouldn't be able to attend to them all "

Jasmine frowned. "You cancelled them?"

Laurette and Flora who were watching the scene knew Jasmin was out of it.

"Why would you cancel them svy? I thought we talked about this!" Flora chirped in.

"Since you cancelled them, your salary is deducted." Jasmine announced and a gasp followed.

"Ahh"

Jasmine glared up at him. "Do I hear you make a sound? The audacity you had to make a decision on your own, is the same audacity that would give you the money. We work hard and harder to make this presentation work, even though you bring rubbish in and we reconstruct. We even pay you more than any company out there and you think you are helping us by cancelling the appointment we have with them? Your pay is deducted then."She announced and he fell on his knees.

"I'm sorry ma'am, I had good intentions but ….

"Get, Out" She ordered and he jumped out of the office in fear of not getting sacked.

Jasmine was angry and there was nothing to soothe her unless she got calm.
