Curiosity kills the cat. That was what Jasmine had heard since she was growing up, yet the need to know what Ava was talking about kept biting her.

She fiddled with her clothes, contemplating her next move, but then the room door suddenly opened, and Chad strolled to the wardrobe.

She watched as he searched through the walls of perfectly hung shirts until he finally pulled out a small briefcase that looked like it could also pass as a box.

Completely ignoring her presence, he unlocked it, and paper piles fell from it.

Chad searched for half a minute, his usually expressionless face filling with concern.

“Where is it?!” He said, his voice barely above a whisper as he swiped through it.

After another minute he slammed it shut causing Jasmine to flinch a little.

His frustration was clear and the usual calm and composed wall he wore was now replaced by raw unease.

“What are you looking for?” she finally asked.

Chad's mind was in his own business, completely oblivious to what Jasm

    Jasmine folded her arms, a confident smirk playing on her lips as the man stood before her, practically sweating bullets."So let me get this straight," Jasmine said slowly, savoring the moment. She was going to gloat, everyone knew, and no one dared to stop her. "You need me to stay. Otherwise, you lose the deal of a lifetime... How very convenient. I mean Chad must be shaking in his boots, and cursing right now."The man nodded frantically. "Exactly, he is cursing and pacing. Without your signature confirming you're on board, the investors will pull out, and I'm sure you know what this means for the company. We've had a very good pace over the years, and if we lose this jackpot, well... let's just say I don't believe Mr Chad would recover from it... he really didn't see this coming."Jasmine scoffed. "Like hell he would have. I mean this is just a proof that everyone needs to be careful of the way they tear others because you don't know how quickly the tables could turn... This is t

    The silence in the room was unnerving, and everyone was eager to know what the response of the clients would be."See... I told you this was pointless, if none of the other applicants could do it, then certainly Jasmine would be the worst person to call for the job." Chad muttered to June."Well, sir, even if she fails, it was worth the risk. Would you rather she hadn't done anything and we lose the job, then you figure out that she gets this contract for another company? At least when she fails, you'll know she was truly incompetent like you said." June replied politely.Chad shrugged. "You know me, I'm never wrong about a person, so I don't need to follow the goddamn rules. I'll judge the fucking book by its cover." He said, brushing his hair slightly with his hand."Relax sir, the investors hadn't said anything yet, and I'm sure they wouldn't like side talks at such a prestigious meeting." June said."Wait... Are you telling me to be quiet? Just because you are related to me doesn'

    Jasmine sighed, a mischievous smirk spreading across her face. "Not a chance.""Please, Jasmine, just come with me," June begged, her voice soft and desperate as she hurriedly got out of the Mercedes."Yeah... Just drop your stupid pride and come back." The receptionist said."Shut up!" Jasmine and June echoed together."As I was saying. Chad realized his mistakes... And wants to give you a chance to work with us. It's a one time pay, so once you are able to secure us the contract, he is willing to give you a hundred thousand dollars." June said, her voice persuasive.Jasmine sighed. "I'm gonna help you with a billion dollar project and you are only offering me a hundred thousand dollars? That's quite greedy of you. I'm sure this was Chad's idea. What does he take me for?" She protested.June sighed. "Alright, name your price. We'll give you whatever you want." She said, trying her best to convince Jasmine.They were running out of time, and Jasmine was their last hope.Jasmine folded

    "Fuck no!" Chad said bluntly. "There is no way I'm letting this amateur mess up my chance with the investors.""Ummm... With all due respect sir, our chances with the investors are basically zero without a business strategist. We had to call some of the people who came for an interview to give us some ideas, but even their ideas were rejected. "The lady said.Chad sighed. "Then screw it..." He cursed. "There is no way she would be able to make any difference if all those people had failed.""Well... With her we still have a three percent chance of getting the contract if she is as bad as you say." The lady protested. "Can I have a look at her portfolio?"Reluctantly, Chad handed Jasmine's portfolio to the lady, and she went over it quickly."Well damn it... This lady is more than qualified for this role sir, if I were you I...""But you aren't." Chad cut her off. "I'm the boss around here, and I'll decide who gets hired and who doesn't, so if I say Jasmine here isn't hired, then she i

    "What? Owe you an apology? I'm not the one who cheated." Chad retorted."Cheated? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Jasmine defended."Oh please, cut the chase, and let's get straight to it. If you don't want to talk about it then it's fine. I'm happier without you anyway." Chad said, his voice laced with venom.Chad's words cut through Jasmine's soul like a hot knife in butter, and she felt tears trying to creep out, but she quickly forced them back."So are we just going to pretend like you didn't use me as a one-night stand?" Jasmine blurted out.The moment instantly became awkward, but she couldn't retract her words.Chad sighed. "So we are doing this?" He retorted."At least tell me what I did wrong," Jasmine said, her voice getting emotional. "Do you know how painful it is to wake up to an empty bed after such a passionate night? Or didn't I mean anything to you? Was that night just a joke or was it part of the contract?"Chad felt guilty about hearing Jasmine's question

    "Chad?" Jasmine blurted out, feeling a mixture of emotions.A part of her was finally happy to see him, while the other part was confused and anxious about what his reaction would be to her.Chad raised an eyebrow, startled for a moment. He hadn't been expecting Jasmine as one of the candidates. However, he quickly regained his calm and cold demeanor before she could notice his surprise."Have a seat, miss; your interview has already commenced," he said, without a flick of emotions.Interview?What the fuck is he going on about? She thought. Is he just going to pretend like he doesn't know me or is this some crazy prank?Was he just going to go on with the interview like he didn't know she was the one? Or was this some sort of prank? First, he vanished without a trace, leaving only a message of their contract ending after using her as a one-night stand.Was that his plan all along? Use me to make Ava jealous and all, and when he was finally ready to get back together with Ava, he woul
