Lucia was shocked beyond words, she has no idea what Francis just said. She heard him quite alright but she's having a hard time really processing the whole thing."You mean that Bryan is here and his so called girlfriend is the girl you used in replacing me?" she asked and Francis nodded.' No this can't be happening to her. ' Lucia thought, she can't believe this is happening to her right now."But Mr Francis, I'm the model that was hired and not her, why would you give the job to her? She's not even popular." Lucia said as she looked at Jasmine, she's so sure that she has not seen that face before. Just who the hell is she? she thought.Jasmine didn't feel really comfortable being called Bryan's girlfriend, she would like to change that narration. They should have just waited for the model, now that she's here. She can just continue with the job."Uhmm Mr Francis?" Jasmine called earning her a disgusting look from Lucia."Yes Miss Jasmine," Francis answered to her politely and Luci
80Lucia got home and dropped her bag in disgust, she can't believe that things went absolutely wrong today. First her contract was taken away from her, and she didn't get the chance to work with Mr Francis.And then saw Bryan again and he now has a girlfriend. And he seems to like her given the way he was all over her, back there in the dressing room.She's the only one that Bryan loves and supposed to love, the idea of him liking someone else really irritates her to her gut.Good thing the girl is a model, she would make sure to make her life miserable cause she will sure be seeing her soon."You did a really good job there," Bryan complimented Jasmine."Thanks a lot Mr Bryan," Jasmine responded."You are welcome, and you still have to sign some documents. You are now the face of the company." Bryan said to her."But I thought you already did that." Jasmine said."Yes I made some signatures but, only as your manager. You need to do the same." he said and she nodded."Oh okay, that'
Jasmine was really surprised at what she just heard, did he just say he wants people to think of her as his girlfriend?"What did you say Mr Bryan?" Jasmine asked him. But Bryan didn't say anything immediately, he didn't mean to say that. The words just came out and now, he has no idea how to defend himself."You wanted them to think of me as your girlfriend?" she asked him."Yes," Bryan replied."Because I wanted to make Lucia jealous." Bryan said."Lucia? the model? why would you do that?" Jasmine asked and Bryan cleared his throat."That's because she's my ex girlfriend." he said and Jasmine wasn't so surprised. She had thought as much that they both had some kind of history. With the way there were speaking to each other and, the tension in the dressing room.She didn't think it was something that serious."Oh," that was all Jasmine could say, she didn't feel angry anymore. But she still will not want that to repeat itself, she's nobody's girlfriend."I was madly in love with her.
It's Mario her boss, the owner of the agency calling her. She picked the call and spoke to him."Hello Mario," she greeted him."Hello to my sweet precious darling, I'm sure you had a good day." he said to her."No I didn't, the contract was taken away from me." she complained to him."What!! who would dare do that to you? Did you tell them the agency you came from? besides, don't they know you are my girlfriend?" Mario asked her and she rolled her eyes. She hates the fact that he treats her like she's his property, always claiming her. She used to like it but, over the past year she found it to be irritating."I arrived late at the shoot and that stupid manager said I had breeched the contract." she said to him."You don't have to worry sweetheart, I will make sure that he gets what's coming for him. You just need to relax, I got you something. It will be brought to you soon." Mario said, and that lightened up her mood a little bit.That's the only thing she likes him for, that is w
83Jasmine quickly closed the door and ran back to her office, even the secretary was surprised at the turn of events. She wondered what must have been happening inside there for her to run out like that.Jasmine had no idea that the lady in his office is the same model at the shoot yesterday, what's her name again? Yes! Lucia.But he had told her that she's his ex girlfriend and he is all over her, how come there were in such a provocative position when she made her way inside?But it's actually none of her business and she should not interfere in her boss's business. She would just wait a little bit and, call him before going into his office next time.She didn't think she would be seeing something like that.Bryan quickly pushed Lucia away from him."What the hell have you done Lucia? why did you even have to come here in the first place?" Bryan asked her and the anger in him was very evident in her eyes."I'm sorry Bryan, I didn't mean to cause trouble between you and your girlfri
Bryan knows she's saying the truth, she's not his girlfriend and he doesn't need to explain things to her. But he feels the need to do that because, he loves her and he would not want her thinking that he had sort of gotten back together with his ex."So you really don't care?" he asked her again and Jasmine nodded."Yes sir, you are my boss and I, your employee. Why would you be explaining things to me?" she asked him."You are more to me than just my employee Jasmine so, stop saying that." he said to her and she smiled. Of course she knows that he sees her as his sister but, she still doesn't feel comfortable with the familiarity."It's fine Mr Bryan, you are an adult and you can do whatever it is that you like. Is there anything else? if not I would like to go back now. I have a lot of things doing." she said to him."Hmm sure, you can go." Bryan said still trying to recover from what she had said."And you should take a look at this sir, it's your schedule for next week. Take a l
85Mrs Zachary placed a call to the men they had contracted to take Jasmine to the train station, they had no idea where they dropped her. The only instruction that was given to them is to take her far away from the house, so she doesn't find her way and come back."Where did you drop the girl that night?" Mrs Zachary asked and the guy said something to her in return, Mrs Zachary was very shocked.Natasha is right, something is going on. There is no way they are allowing Tristan bring that girl back here, she had put in a lot of work and plan to ensure that girl stays away from her son.She's not going to sit down and allow things go south again."Honey, I heard Tristan is going to the train station. That is exactly where the girl was dropped that night, what if he found her?" Mrs Zachary said in panic."We can't allow that to happen we have to find a way to stop that now. I can't stand that girl being my son's wife." he said and picked up his phone to make some calls."Do you know t
Immediately Tristan heard the girl's voice, an idea came into his head."Hold on for a second James," he said and turned to the girl."Did you just say that you want an autograph?" he asked the girl with a smile on his face, so she can feel relaxed to talk to him. She might have the answers to his questions."Yes sir, I would really love that and also a photograph if you don't mind as well." she said, since Tristan is willing to give her an photograph. She can as well try her luck and ask him for something else."Okay that's fine, not only will I give you an autograph and a photograph. I can also give you another job, would you like to stop working here?" Tristan asked her and the girl was shocked, she has no idea what he's talking about.Another job, she would definitely love that. Is this how generous rich people are? Or Mr Zachary is just that way? No wonder she has been crushing on him, he's such a good man."I don't understand what you mean sir," the girl said."Here, meet me at
