I stopped and looked at him.“ Mr. Peterson, I'll just find another way to compensate you,” I said. I was about to walk away when I suddenly tripped.

Chapter 33: Chasing Jasmine's POVAfter that encounter, Stacy became rude to everyone if they made a mistake. She’s also watching me, but I don't care. Sometimes, I couldn't help but argue with her because of the way she ordered my people.But I kept on apologizing to them and advising them to have more patience because as soon as we finished here, they didn't have to work with her anymore. As compensation, I always treat them with their lunch, which Stacy seldom does.I was roaming around when someone was walking at my back. When I turned, it was Travis. He's following me. I have no time to argue with him right now.“ Where are you going?” He asked, but I didn't dare look at him.
