Chapter 43: A Mess
Jasmine'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
Chapter 46: Flirt?Jasmine's POV“ Does anyone have a lead about the guy with a grabbed bag?” I asked them while we were in the meeting room.“ Actually, these are the pictures that the other CCTV crew caught near our building. Ma'am, he's really wearing a cap and facemask, but take a look at this. In this area, he’s wearing all-black clothes. But in this picture, at the same time, there's a man walking around, holding a garbage bag and wearing a green shirt. “ He showed me the pictures, and I looked at them carefully.“That's when he didn't enter this area. Take a look at this one he suddenly disappeared that time and another man appeared who turned out to be the man in front of our building. This is more suspicious because minutes had passed, and when I checked the same CCTV at that place, he was walking in the direction that the man had go
Chapter 47: Property?Jasmine's POVDamn that jerk. I looked at Paul, but he just chuckled and let go of my hand.“ Common, we're just talking,” he said and followed Travis, never failing to wink at me. I shook my head in amusement. He's really something else.“ I'm not talking to you," Travis said. My brow furrowed. What's wrong with him?“ You are being too serious,” Paul said in a casual voice while he placed both of his hands in his pocket.“Back off. You should mind your own business, “ he said in a firm voice. I saw him glancing at me, which made Paul look at me and sarcastically chuckle.I don't know what is wrong with them. All I can see is that Travis is so mad now. Oh, he's always mad. I grinned in my mind. What's new? He's always like this around me an
Chapter 48: I'm Not His wifeJasmine's POV“ Any news?” I asked my team about the guy. We haven't found him. But we're trying our best.“ Actually, I already did search for him and even hired someone to catch him, but it seems like he already knows that we are looking for him,” Jacob said while he was looking at his phone.Then suddenly Erica stood up and went to my back. I turned around to see what she was doing and she touched the side of my painting.“ There's no time looking at that, Erica, “ Ryan said, but she didn't listen.“ I think I found something,” she said, showing us a very small camera. We all looked at each other.I grabbed it and broke it on the floor. Someone is watching us from the start.“ Ma'am, this is new “, Rhian said,
Chapter 49: Yet He CheatedJasmine's POV“ Ma'am, don't worry; we already cleaned the whole office and made sure that there are no cameras in here. “ Rhian said. I nodded while typing something on my laptop.“ Good; the next time we leave this office, I want all of you not to leave any important things, especially laptops or cell phones that have an important file in our company. “ I told her, and she knew what I meant.“ Yes, ma'am, they are also placing passwords that are hard to know in their computers, and we also placed the files in a safe place, ma'am. We also placed some cameras here that are hard to find, “ she added, and I nodded to her.“ Do I have a meeting today?” I asked her. She checked her phone.“ I almost forgot, ma'am. You have a meeting today with Mr Chris in the Royale

He jumped in excitement.I decided to unwind in the meantime since my son has been asking me if I should treat him somewhere else.

Are we staying there?!” He pointed at the hotel, and Diego pretended to look at the building.“ You're right! Are you excited ?” He asked him while we were starting to get down.“ Yes, Daddy! But my tummy is hungry,” he said while holding his tummy. He hasn't eaten because he slept. I also take a nap for minutes.I was happy to hear that Diego is treating David like his own son. But a part of me is also scared. I know that he confessed to me that he lik
