27. We Are Friends

Jackson's eyes lit up, and he wondered about Mike being at the club tonight. Didn't he know that Mike had a job out of town and might be back in two days?

 

"How about it?" Mike teased, immediately pulling Jasmine's hand away from Jackson.

 

Jackson is speechless, preferring to step back and walk away. There was still plenty of time for him to meet Jasmine. Fighting won't win him any fights, because Jackson knows how crazy Mike is.

 

Jackson walked over to Jasmine and whispered. "I knew you wouldn't run away again."

 

"Sorry for the trouble. I just wanted to tease so many who were already scared. They should be more afraid of you than me," Jackson said in a soft voice.

 

Jackson and his troops left the club. Some people who saw Jackson's departure immediately came out of hiding. This included Brian and his friend.

 

They both felt relieved; if only Mike had not come, they would not have been able to save Jasmine. Meanwhile, Jasmine quickly carried Leah to her room.

 

Brian, Mike, and the few patrons who managed to hide gathered. The women who worked at the club immediately went to their rooms after receiving orders from Lorensius.

 

"How did you get here?" Brian asked with a narrowed eye.

"None of your business. Where is your responsibility to protect Jasmine? I had to step in as a result," Mike sneered.

 

A few scattered tables and broken glasses made a mess of the club. Don't ask if Lorensius lost or not. After the past few weeks, Lorensius had always lost money due to Jackson's actions, and today was the worst. Now Lorensius could only surrender.

 

Jasmine and Anya went downstairs to see what was going on at the club. Sadly, they both felt sad to see their house destroyed. It was their home to earn money, and if it was destroyed like this, how else would they earn money?

 

Jasmine walked up to Lorensius and said, "I'll work as usual. It's enough money to build this club again." Jasmine's words made Mike widen his eyes. He couldn't believe what Jasmine was saying.

 

"No, I told you not to play with anyone other than me." Mike said it angrily.

 

"If you forbid me, you are just like Jackson. You must remember that I am a prostitute. I serve many men, and you can't control me." Jasmine defended herself.

 

"But...." Mike's words trailed off as he was about to continue.

 

"Are you sure? What if Jackson comes back and wants to use your body?" Lorensius felt anxious; he was grateful if Jasmine came back, but he also couldn't see her being played with.

 

"Then just accept it."

 

Like getting a surprise, all of them there were completely shocked by Jasmine's words. How could Jasmine even think of serving that crazy man, Jackson?

 

"Are you serious?" Brian's question came out of nowhere.

 

"Hemm, just like you. You are not a nice guy when we fuck, either. Honestly, I like your game."

 

No one interrupted Jasmine anymore. They just let Jasmine have her way. Likewise with Mike, he could not forbid Jasmine because he was only a customer and not her lover. So he also had to queue up to meet Jasmine.

That afternoon, the sun shone brightly on the city streets. Many people choose to come to a cafe to enjoy a cake or just ice.

 

Just like Jasmine right now, she was sitting in an ice cream shop. She had an appointment with someone, and she deliberately asked for it there. It took the man fifteen minutes.

 

"Have you been waiting for me for so long? Sorry for my delay," he said as he immediately guided Jasmine's hand to his mouth. "This is delicious; what flavor did you order?"

 

Jasmine only glanced at him briefly; she didn't really like the attitude that the man in front of her was giving her at the moment. Jasmine admitted that if she did good, then this man in front of her would be better than her, but if she denied it, as could be seen a while ago at the club,

 

"Quickly tell me, what did you want to talk to me about?" Jasmine spoke about the main topic. The reason she was at the ice cream shop was because of this.

 

"I just wanted to see you. Is that wrong? I apologize for my attitude yesterday. I got emotional when I couldn't find you." Jackson said it honestly.

 

Jackson's gaze was only on Jasmine. Though many pairs of eyes were glancing at Jackson, Some of them were even openly flirting with Jackson by lifting their skirts high.

 

Jasmine, who was looking around, could only shake her head. "It looks like you are popular with the ladies." Jasmine mocked her with a faint smile.

 

"Unfortunately, they are all not you. My cock can't get up if it's not with you," moaned Jackson, which made Jasmine smack Jackson on the head.

 

"Pervert, you perverted man who doesn't know his place. Look, there are children here, and your words are too vulgar, damn it." Jasmine rants incoherently, and Jackson likes this kind of nagging Jasmine.

 

"Don't ever change, because this is what I've known you for. The chatty Jasmine, not the crying Jasmine who thinks God is unfair to you." Jackson comforted Jasmine.

 

They were both silent. Jasmine, who had run out of ice cream, was ordered back by Jackson. It wasn't just ice cream, because Jackson really spoiled Jasmine today.

 

Jackson also did not fail to notice Jasmine. His longing gaze every time he saw the family coming to the ice cream shop led him to conclude that Jasmine missed her family.

 

"Do you miss them? I can accompany you to the police station." Jackson was rebuffed by Jasmine.

 

"I don't want to bring anyone else. I don't want to be pitied, so I have to be more resilient." He explained.

 

After gorging themselves on various types of ice cream, The two of them went for a walk and enjoyed the hot sun. Unlike Jackson, who had been restless because of the hot sun,

 

"Hahaha, you're so cute. You're all grown up, but you look like a little kid with an allergy to the sun." Jasmine taunted Jackson again.

 

"Can't we just take the car? Please, it's too hot, Jes. I don't want to burn your skin." Jackson did not care about Jasmine's rejection. He just pulled Jasmine's hand toward his car.

 

"Jessica? Is this you? Wow, you're like a slut who goes out with a lot of guys."
