Hello, Ms. Jones! 2

Jasmine stood in front of the ten-story building. She is now outside the Wellness International Pharma to see Colton Olivares and try to convince him to take back the complaint against her. She wasn't sure if she could succeed but she will still try. This is the last option she has.

Senior Officer Cua was right. She couldn't fight back against Colton Olivares if he decides to use his influence to make her get dismissed from service. This world is about money after all!

Jasmine walks to the entrance and was stopped by the guard, " Good morning, ma'am, may I see your identification card, please?" the guard asked politely.

Jasmine stopped in her track and she looked at the guard, " Oh, yes!" she said as she opened her sling bag and took her ID.

'"Why are you here for, ma'am?" the guard asked after he checks her ID.

"I came to see, Mr. Olivares," Jasmine replied.

"Do you have an appointment with him, ma'am?" the guard asked again.

"Uhm..." Jasmine paused and was out of words for a second...

" N-No..." she said.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but you have to have an appointment before you can see and talk to Mr. Olivares," the guard said in disappointment.

"Oh!" Jasmine blurts out. " Uhm.. could you please call him and tell him that Officer Jones wants to see him?" Jasmine softened her expression to make the guard pity her. She was like an obedient puppy trying to act cute in front of its master.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but Mr. Olivares is a strict type of person, I can't just call him to tell him that someone wants to see him, It is not how the way the things here are done," the guard refused.

Jasmine's shoulders dropped when she heard what the guard said, but she doesn't plan to give up!

"Could I just wait for him here until he comes out?" Jasmine asked.

"Uhmm.." the guard seems to refuse but Jasmine made her look even more pitiful. The guard scratched his head when she saw Jasmine's crying expression, " Alright ma'am, as long as you don't disturb anyone here, and I can't guarantee that Mr, Olivares will entertain you if you approach him," he said.

Jasmine's face instantly lit up!

"Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Cheif!" she said lively.

Meanwhile, inside the building. Colton was in the lobby making his way to the elevator when he unconsciously turn his head to the building's entrance. There, he saw a familiar woman talking to the guard in charge of the entrance.

The woman is wearing a simple plain white shirt, jeans paired with white rubber shoes, and a sling bag. Her hair is tied into a ponytail.

Colton saw how the woman tried to convince the guard to let her in and she saw how she acted so pitiful and he couldn't help but smile.

He knew why she was here for!

"Mr. Olivares," Colton pulled back his gaze from Jasmine when he heard Alexis' voice calling him. He faced his assistant and spoke, " Let Ms. Jones into my office," he said.

Confusion instantly registered to Alexis' face for he doesn't know what Colton was saying.

"The woman talking to the guard in the entrance," Colton said when he saw the confusion on Alexis' face.

Alexis turned his head to the entrance and there, he saw a woman talking to the guard, "Oh, alright, Mr. Olivares," Alexis said.

Colton entered the lift and left Alexis to talk to Jasmine.

Jasmine stood on the side and waited for the time Colton would come out of the building. She checks her watch and realized it was only nine in the morning. She still has to wait for a few hours before she comes out for lunch, or worst, it might take her until night.

'Oh, this is frustrating, waiting for a few hours is already a waste of time, what more a whole day?' she said inside.

But then, she doesn't have a choice!

She needs to talk to him and apologize.

"Excuse me?"

Jasmine automatically turn her head beside her when she heard a man speak, " Yes?" she replied to a man wearing formal clothes.

"Are you Jasmine Jones?" the man asked.

"Y-Yes," Jasmine replied. She wonders how this man knows her.

"Hi, I am Alexis Galvez, Mr. Olivares' assistant," the man introduced himself, " My boss wants you in his office right now," he said.

"Oh!" Jasmine blurts out!

She did not expect it!

"Please, follow me," Alexis said which Jasmine did. She doesn't have much patience to wait there for a whole day to talk to Colton!

Jasmine and Alexis entered the lift.

Jasmine may seem calm but she was tensed deep inside. She wonders if Colton remembers her as the young girl he used to insult fifteen years ago.

Jasmine sighs, it would be better if not.

It took a few minutes before they reach the tenth floor. They walk into the hallway and stop in front of a door.

Alexis knocked on the door, 'Come in!' they heard from the inside.

It's only then, Alexis opened the door. The two of them entered and Alexis was a bit surprised to see Colton already wearing an arm brace!

'Wait, why is he wearing an arm brace?' Alexis asked himself but he did not dare to say it loud. He just ignored it instead and keep his question to himself.

"Mr. Olivares, Ms. Jones is here," Alexis said.

"G-Good morning, Mr. Olivares," Jasmine greeted Colton.

"Oh, hello, Ms. Jones!" Colton replied as he throws a mysterious look with a faint smile on Jasmine.

Jasmine doesn't know why, but she felt like there was something with that smile!

Alexis excused himself for Jasmine and Colton to speak privately.

"I wonder why you're here, Ms. Jones?" Colton asked when Alexis left.

'Tsss!' Jasmine secretly scoffed inside.

She wouldn't choose to come here and talk to this man if she only have a choice!

This man obviously didn't change over the years!

"I..." Jasmine opened her mouth to speak, " I came to speak about an important matter, Mr. Olivares," she said.

"Like, what?" Colton asked.

"About your complaint against me, Mr. Olivares," Jasmine replied.

"Oh, that?" He spoke, " I---"

"I came to ask you to take back the case against me," Jasmine said without holding back.

"You're asking me to take back my complaint against you?" Colton repeated.

"Yes!" Jasmine replied with her head held high.

"Do you think I would agree?" Colton said which made Jasmine silent for a moment.

"How about what you've done to me, Officer Jones?" Colton spoke again as he got up from his seat and walks to Jasmine.

"My arm was injured due to the impact when I plunged to the ground because of your kick," he said, " And look at this bruise in my face," he pointed to the bruise on his face that is still visible even if it's been a few days since the incident happened.

"I couldn't meet my important client because of this," he lied.

Jasmine just secretly gulp as she lowered her head," I'm sorry about that, Mr. Olivares," she apologized.

"It was my mistake, that is why I am here to apologize and to ask you to take back the case against me," she said.

"What would I get in exchange if I take back the case against you?" Colton asked as he stared at Jasmine's little face.

Jasmine lifted her head, she was hoping that Colton would take back the case against her if she would just do what he wants her to do!

"I..." Jasmine spoke, " I would do everything you want as long it's not against the law," she said.

Colton raised the corners of his lips, " Marry me then," he said.
