I saw how he smiled and fixed himself to look presentable.I smiled broadly, and he thought that I would agree easily.“ Mr. Peterson, I'm sorry to reject you, but I have no interest in dating.” I politely said and excused myself, but he walked beside me.“ I'm just kidding. I shouldn't leave a bad impression on someone who is as gorgeous as you, especially since this is our first meeting, Ms. Stewart.” He winked at me, and I secretly rolled my eyes.Did he think that he could get me by doing that stuff? 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. I closed my eyes and waited for my face to bump on the floor, but s

I met him at that party, and he proposed something that caught my attention.

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. I just continue walking without making a noise.“ When will you talk to me properly?” he asked again, but instead of stopping, I kept on walking because my blood boiled when I saw his face. And I hated him following me around like a dog.“ Can't you just leave me?” I said in an irritated voice, but he didn'

I had already cleared my intention and told her that I had nothing to do with him, but she didn't want to believe my words.We were both stuck in that room for hours, and I never talked to him after what he did.
