登入Jasmine opened the file in the contract and found that it was insurance… for her nose. She scanned through the words and found that the price was very high. She could only be in shock right at that moment."Is this necessary, Jasper?" she asked in a little above a whisper."of course it is." Jasper said with conviction, "you're a perfumer, and your greatest asset in this business is most definitely your nose."He was right though. Perfumery required a very sensitive nose, and a nose like hers was great to be protected. Sometimes it wasn't just enough to work hard, when you were a perfumer, you also needed to be able to distinguish between various scents. And for that reason, he felt the necessity to do this for her.She knew of the whole sensitivity thing, however, she just did not feel that her nose needed to be insured. She just didn't feel she was worth the trouble the man went through for her."it's just too much," she said quietly."Nothing is too much when it comes to you, jas,"
Her feelings for Jasper were undeniable. But love?To say she loved him was completely something else, and she wasn't sure that she was capable of using that word so liberally at such a time.True, he was handsome, and kind, and gentle. Whenever he did anything, he always thought of her. He always put her first. So she had feelings for him. But love?However, Jasper hadn't expected her to answer immediately. If anything, he expected her hesitance, and simply smiled,"it's okay if you don't have an answer just yet. I believe that in time, you will learn to love me," he said kindly. He was not even spitting arrogance at all."and for the at reason," he began and paused, "we won't make love until then. We won't move on to that point until you are sure of your feelings for me. Until you feel love. Until you are ready to give yourself wholeheartedly to me."Saying this, he got up, and when she realized what was happening she panicked and hastily questioned him,"and me? Do you love me?"He
“Jasper…” she wanted to speak, unsure of what she even meant to say. But he brought a finger to her lips, stopping her.“You don’t have to say anything right now.” He said gently.She knew she didn’t. But the more she remained quiet, the faster her heart raced and she just could not abide herself right at that moment.Not with how close they were at that moment. Not with how her heart and mind were full of him. Her nose was full of the scent of him, her eyes full of the look of him. He was everything to her at that moment. He was all that she knew.Her mouth was dry, but still she swallowed and the unconscious movement had her throat moving up and down. It was a movement that triggered Jasper’s feral side for some reason. But when he brought his lips to hers, he was gentle, soft unlike the wildness that tugged at him to get out.She was still wet from her bathing, and his body pressed against hers made his clothes wet as well. But that was the least of his worries.He ran his hands ov
Flora glanced at her phone and saw Antonio's caller Id. She didn't pick up the call immediately, but glared at Maria fiercely before stuffing a test tube in her hand, "you think about everything hard and long. You don't want to be making a stupid choice." she said and turned on her heels, out of the office.only then did she pick up the phone,"where are you?" he asked, his voice carrying a hint of haste."I am the lab." she asked wearily, "jasmine didn’t exactly leave us with much to go on with." she finished, trying to sound very tired and it actually worked."alright, that's alright. I'll be there in a couple of minutes so I can take you home."He didn't exactly give her time to respond but hung up as soon as he was done speaking. She blew out an exasperated breath and wondered where he had to be that left him in such a hurry."Whatever." she sighed after some time and walked to the lab, but simply stopped at the door. There could not have been anything in there that she wanted to
Flora paced back and forth, as though if she stopped pacing for even a moment, she would not be able to control the surge of emotions moving through her.Maria simply ignored her altogether. She stretched and turned to the experiments in front of her, but didn't do much about any of it.Eventually, when Flora felt as though she'd gotten a hang of her emotions, she turned to her again, "Fine. So tell me, what do you want?"She didn't like the role she was playing for a moment, but she had to because it was much easier to deal with the girl in front of her than go to Jasmine and asked her for help or guidance.Maria tilted her head to the side and smiled, "oh, wow, so there's room for negotiation then? Are you that powerful Afterall director ma'am?"The enthusiasm on Maria's face angered Flora to no end, but she swallowed her feelings. In any case, she felt that if the girl was this enthusiastic then there was a possibility that she did have something to tell her."It's not much of a po
"I suppose at the end of the day, you've gone back to gambling. I agree that when you left, your grandfather said a lot of harsh things. But we are a family, and so why did you have to take such harsh things to heart?"Jasmine didn't say anything, and he didn't wait for her reply, "And after all this time, you still have not let go of your anger. now look at the situation of things. You're famous for all the wrong reasons and got a lawsuit firsthand, but even no, you refuse to come back?""It's not that I don't want to go back, Demetri. I will when I believe the time is right. And concerning the lawsuits, I assure you that I'm doing my best to deal with it all. No one is going to associate me with this family, so you can drop that worry."She had good intentions, but her statement only angered him, "so what? You think that we are ashamed of being connected to you?""I don't know. What I do know is, when all that needs doing is done, I promise I'll come home. I'll speak to Grandfather.
