Chapter 5

"Let's Begin," he said and sat down and looked at them and the managers from different publications were there. The managers of the company were older than Sebastian. Sebastian was the youngest there. The older managers didn't like it but they would never dare to voice their hatred towards it so they would just keep it in. Sebastian looked at them and opened the file and they did the same and read through it in silence until one of the Managers spoke.

"Mr. Rae? Why is Sunrays Estate on the merger?" the old man asked.

"Because they have shown me the potential in the advertisement and they have a new style that will be able to attract potential clients," he said and looked at him.

Sunrays Estate Publishing was a new publishing group with a young manager. Even though they are new some individuals and other publishing groups have made claims that they are stealing designs which led the other groups to sue them and led them into bankruptcy. The older managers of the other groups were happy and thought that the Royals wouldn't merge with them.

"Why shouldn't I have merged with Sun Rays?" he asked and closed the file and looked at them.

"Well because they are stealing ideas," the other old man said and looked at him

"I looked at their designs and I could see with my own two eyes the difference between their designs and the bullshit you all waste your money on," he said and looked at them.

"Well we have highly skilled designers-" the manager said but Sebastian cut him off

"Well you should fire them and hire new designers because their work is a load of crap," he said and looked at them and they looked at him.

"I knew this would come in the meeting so I took time out of my business days to gather pieces of evidence between your work and Sunrays," he said and looked at Jasmine and Jasmine went for the board and showed them.

Jasmine brought up the boards that showed the different designs from Sunrays Publishing group and the others. The old men looked at them and did not agree with Sebastian.

"But don't you see," they're saying.

"How can they be the same," She mumbled.

"What do you say, assistant!" The old man with a toupee said.

"What did you say?" Stated Sebastian in a cold harsh tone.

Unfazed, fake hair replied, "I said what did you say, assistant." Matching Sebastian's cold tone.

"I dare you to say that again." An angry Sebastian stand up and exits the conference room leaving Jasmine with the old angry men.

Jasmine soon followed with a small smile on her face. "Good day gentlemen," She said before closing the door.

"Sir...Wait up!" Yell Jasmine. He ignores her and continues walking toward the elevator.

"How dare they?" He mumbled to himself..."how can they speak to her in that way."

But before the elevator closes she jumped but tripped and fell to the ground but he caught her...holding her so close that the fear of letting her hurt would kill him.

As the sound of the elevator went up another floor the only thing you could hear was the sound of their beating hard. But for Jasmine, her heart beats faster because she was claustrophobic being in a small space with him is making her nervous.

"You are too clumsy," he said..."you need to take care of yourself."

I am sorry sir but I don't see my taking care of wellbeing as your business." She stuttered.

"You are my business," he replied as he took a sniff of her hair. Then she shuddered against him and if his embrace could get any tighter; it did but as a result of this two of her buttons popped open.

He brought his stare from her beautiful face to her luxurious body as he stared at her lacy bras he brought his face from her neck to her chest...unlocking one of his arms from around her and bringing it towards her chest. His index finger lowered from her lips to her chest.

"Are you wearing 'his' gift?" He asks her in a low angry tone. "What are you doing with him and wearing his gifts?"

"He is my boyfriend," she replied.

"Not anymore," he growled. "You belong to me and not him and if you don't leave him I will ruin both of you."

"You can't do that...you can not control me." She whispers.

He then opened her bra with her teeth and placed a kiss between her boobs. Leaving her mark, moving his lips and kisses he brought them to her throat. Leaving her with a permanent red mark, he brought those sinful lips towards her lips and whispered how long can you deny the fact. He continued, ignoring her lips he pushed her against the elevator walls with his hand preventing her from leaving.

Breathing hard, she then said, "leave me be." Still ignoring her he then started to unbutton her blouse and took it off.

"STOP!" She yelled. As soon as she yelled the elevator opens she found the courage to fight back. She pushed him aside, picked up the folder and her blouse then ran out fighting the tears that threatened to fall.

She then ran into the bathroom and closed the door but the weakest moment in her life hit her and then the rainfall of tears started streaming down her face. Then her legs gave out, making her fall to the ground as the files fell to the ground and clutching her blouse to her chest.

Ten minutes later she made her way to his office. Finding her strength she turned to him and said I quit.

A sense of anger could be seen in his eyes as he got up from his seat and then made his way to her. As he walked toward her, she stepped back with her back against the door he closed.

"I dare you to say that again." He angrily said.

She swallowed so hard he could hear it, showing an arrogant smirk.
