Chapter 16: Ring This
Jasmine's POV
"I didn't know you knew Bradley Pittsburg," a voice quipped from behind me and startled me, briefly, before I turned around in my chair and saw Mr. Hollen leaning on the closed door, hands inside his pants pockets, looking at me with raised eyebrows.
"Umm, yeah... I've known him since college," I answered.
His grey eyes locked on me, burning me to my soul. He twitched his bottom lip as if he had a distasteful substance in his mouth. He straightened his posture, and his suit, and I couldn't help but to see how damn sexy and even more handsome he was; but he was upset about something. I knew he was having a hectic day but he was looking at me like he wanted to send me to my grave.
What did I do wrong this time?
"So you two were close?" he asked, coming over to my desk.
Mr. Hollen had never been interested in my personal life, or even asked about it, but now here he was asking about Bradley.

I refreshed myself with a glass of water and headed for the elevator. As I got in he got in with me."Hi," he greeted with a smile I'd never seen."Good afternoon, sir.""Can we talk?""About what, Mr. Hollen?""About us."My eyes popped out of their sockets as my ears collected his words. Us?

I asked them, still looking into my computer."We're only stopping by to see you. And we're kidnapping you after work today. Dad's taking the family to dinner.""Arrghh!" I groaned."Come on man," EJ protested.A knock came on my door."Come in," I said firmly.Jasmine walked into my office, eyes red from tears."Good afternoon," she said, looking over at Emily and EJ."Hi," EJ answered."Hello there," Emily said with a small wave of her hand."Mr. Hollen, the hospital called me in regards to my mother.

Jasmine's POVI signed the permission papers with shivering hands. I couldn't even hold the pen steady enough to sign my name properly. I handed the documents back to Dr. Shannon after reading them carefully and signing my name on the dotted line. I raked my fingers through my hair and covered my face with the palm of my hands as I sobbed quietly into them."You don't want to spend time with your mother?" Dr. Shannon asked me when I was about to leave the room."No. How could I? I'm on the verge of losing her. I'm on the verge of losing the one person who's been there for my sister and I through everything-- through every phase of our miserable lives. Through all the first time experiences, through everything. I'm losing all of that. It's just unfair.

IMPERFECT Assistant Chapter 23: Pills And Potions
Evan's POVThe next day at my office I couldn't wait to see the look on Jasmine's face. I had already transferred the money for her mother's lung transplant and cleared all the outstanding medical expenses so she wouldn't have a burden on her hands.I didn't do this for Jasmine to fall in love with me or for her to think that she owed me. I wanted to do something good, from the heart, for someone I'd been having uncontrollable feelings for. She didn't even know I was the one who paid off everything, and it would stay that way until I was ready to tell her myself.I was at my desk, reading through emails and proposals towards the company.A knock came on the door."Come in," I said.My father walked in dressed in a sharp grey suit, briefcase in hand and adjusting his neck tie.I threw myself back in my chair as a smirk came on my face.

Jasmine's POVI tidied up my mother's room for her arrival. She would be home in two days. The surgery was successful but they needed to keep her for further observation. I couldn't wait for her to be back into the house. We missed her so much."So, have you gotten in touch with Bradley yet to thank him?" my sister asked. She was assisting me with the cleaning."No. I've even tried his Facebook page but I can't contact him. And it appears he changed his number.""Hmm, I just don't understand it. He paid for Mom's transplant while he vanished into thin air? That just doesn't sound like Bradley to me. He's too boastful to do something so private.""You have a point, but if Bradley didn't do it, then who? He was the only one I told about mom's condition. He was the only one who knows the amount of money to pay for it," I recalled, mopping the floor in the bedroom."Yeah, you're right. I am just surprise by his behavior. He was
