Chapter 37: I Never Wished
Jasmine's POV
When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed. I didn't recall what happened, but when I saw him sitting beside me, holding my hands, everything went back to normal.
I get my hand back and force myself to sit. Damn, why him? Of all the people inside the venue, why he's the one who helped me? This might cause trouble again.
“ Hey, don't move too much. The doctor said you need a rest. You are stressed. That's why you fainted.” He explained, and I just nodded.
“ Why are you still here? “ I asked him, but he just looked away.
I looked at the door, waiting for someone to come in, and started ranting, but no one came.
“ Because you have no one, that's why I decided to stay?” He said in a not-sure voice. Really? Did he decide to stay?
Chapter 38: I Don't CareJasmine's POVNo one expected that they would see us be together as rumours spread that Travis was my ex-husband. I couldn't stop it from spreading because it was true. I don't know who did that. I've been very careful about that issue, but it's already happening. It's also affecting my work, though it's not that big a deal, but I couldn't stop people talking about me and Travis, especially now that I am working with their wedding.Also, I couldn't figure out who the hell spread those rumours on social media. Luckily, we talked for days, and after that, I often heard about it.“ Ms. Jaz Mr. Peterson is here” Rhian said while I'm busy with the new design that Stacy sent her last night.I couldn't imagine how angry she was when she found out about the news. I was surprised, but she went to the bankers after she found out about it, while Travi
Chapter 39: Double DateJasmine's POV“ Tell Mr. and Mrs. Lee that I will be accompanying them personally when I go back there,” I told my secretary abroad. We were done revising and completing the proposal, though it has a great impact on our company, and we have to adjust.Some of our investors and even our clients suddenly called for a meeting. I was in charge of presenting them with every detail. In the end, they agreed because we're not the only ones we could benefit from, but also them.“ Don't worry, ma'am. Mr. Jenkins already talked to them and cleared everything up,” she said, and I nodded.“ Okay, about the papers I will be needing tomorrow, okay?” I said, and she nodded and smiled. After the meeting, I closed my laptop and decided to go to the nearest restaurant because I was so hungry.Whe
Chapter 40: Embarrassing Jasmine's POV I've been considering whether to attend that party, but Paul kept on sending messages that he would wait for me there. He's really something else. Well I was surprised when he said that he owned that restaurant since I haven't checked any information about him for being busy this week. After thinking for hours, I decided to come because he'd been calling me. At first, I didn't know where he got my number. Then I found out that he always kept on asking my assistant for my number. I just wore a black dress and put on a little makeup. I actually like this new me right now. I could wear whatever I wanted with confidence. I was just staring outside of this mansion, and I was surprised because this house was owned only by him. Well, Paul is not the kind of person who would show how wealthy he is. He's just simple, yet you can see that he's really a wealthy person. I entered the house, and I think all of the people in there were Paul’s friends. T
Chapter 41: Save Jasmine’s POV That jerk, how did he end up in that place, too? Is he following me? Damn him! I touched my face, and I still felt embarrassed about what had happened. I tried to calm down, but as soon as I looked at my side, I saw those two again whispering to each other while the girl was sitting on the boy’s lap. I get a glass of drink and walk away from them. I just found myself in the middle of the people dancing like there’s no tomorrow. “Hi! Are you new here?” the guy said. I thought he was not referring to me, so I didn’t mind him. “Hard to get, huh?” I even heard him say that. I was about to walk through the table when someone grabbed me by my hand. When I turned around to look who it was, it was the guy who had been talking earlier. “Excuse me,” I said emotionlessly and got my hand b
Chapter 42: SabotageJasmine's POV“ Ma'am Jaz, I don't know what happened that day, I just found out that our designs were gone,” Rhian said. I called her here to discuss the designs that we are going to present to our investor.Aside from being wedding planners, we still have other business to do, especially now that the company is becoming more popular.“ What do you mean it was gone?” My forehead knotted when I heard her say that. We just finished that yesterday evening here in our office and now it is gone?I couldn't think of any reason that someone in here would steal it or else she would forget where she put it.“Ma'am, I'm really sorry. It's my fault. But the last time I remember, when you left the office, I placed it in your drawer,” she said, and I knew that she was getting nervous. That was a bi
Chapter 43: A MessJasmine's POV“ So what are we gonna do now?” I asked Erica, I know that they were busy last night, and they don't have enough sleep but this design and proposal is very important.“ I was just wondering. I found something as usual.” The painting at my back wasn't in its proper arrangement near the drawer where we always placed our plans for our meeting.“ What do you mean, Ma'am?” Kurt asked with a confused voice. Rhian even looked at me.“ I do not want to say this, but someone is sabotaging us. I found my painting not in its proper arrangement. I’m also wondering how those files would be missing together with the files in Rhian’s laptop. Something's not right here,” I told them.“ Does that mean there is someone in here trying to sabotage our
Chapter 44: HeartlessJasmine's POVWe ended up losing the deal to Mr. Huston. It's been days that I've been trying to find who that man is. I have this strong feeling that he's the one who stole those papers and deleted those files to Rhian's laptop.Aside from that, I knew that those designs were related to that company. I tried to ask Mr. Huston about it, but he never answered.I need to figure it out. I can't just stand here while someone is taking what is ours.“ I told you that I do not want those tables! I want a big one!” I heard Stacy creaming. What is her problem again?! Is she out of her mind?“ Ma'am but we could get you a higher table because your cake is big and tall. “ Rhian talks to her calmly. While trying to explain it to her.“ Are you telling me right now that you are more
Chapter 45: Be CarefullJasmine's POVHow could he talk to me like he didn't hurt me? He really had guts.“ I am not heartless!” I firmly said, which made him stop. I was shocked by my actions. I quickly composed myself. I stood straight and looked into his eyes.“ I'm sorry, “ he said while placing the box on the table. I let out a sigh to calm myself.“ No, I'm sorry, Mr. White, for my reaction. It's just that people tend to say words that could hurt others' feelings without knowing that the person who's saying those words is the one who is heartless and merciless. “ I emphasize the last three words. It made him quiet, but he never broke his stare at me.I felt his silence like he was scared to say something that might offend me again. He shouldn't have to worry. I'm immune to his hurtful words. I looked at him, and
