“To show your boss what real power is,” Austin said and got out of the car. Ella also got out of the car and approached Austin. “Mr Gerano, what do you mean?” she asked, confused by his statement. Austin smiled and held her wrist. “Come, let me show you,” he said and started walking towards the building. Ella had many questions she wanted to ask but she knew that Austin would just beat around the bush instead of answering her directly and so, she kept mute and let him lead her.They entered the building and all eyes fell on them. What followed next was silence, such that if a pin dropped, it would be clearly heard. Everyone was shocked to see the young heir of the Geranos at their company. Ella, who was not used to being the center of attention, instantly hid behind Austin. For once, she loved that he was much taller than her as she was able to disappear completely. Austin tilted his head to the side and furrowed his brows on seeing that Ella was hiding behind him. “You do reali
Ella and Austin arrived at her house really late in the evening. They would have arrived sooner if Austin did not have multiple meetings to which he dragged her too.She suggested taking a cab home but he refused saying that the people he was going to be meeting were old and boring people whose jokes he couldn’t stand.And so, he dragged her to the meeting. Unknown to Ella, there was another reason he took her there and she found out about it when they had met the old couple. It seemed that every time Austin met or spoke with them, they would always ask about his girlfriend and every time he told them he didn't have any, they would always pressurize him into getting one.When they asked him about the young lady he had brought along with him, he didn’t think twice before introducing her as his girlfriend much to Ella’s dismay. He didn’t realize it but he was causing problems for her. There were not a real couple and so, sooner or later, people were bound to find out. They wouldn’t a
“This is where you live?” Ella asked in shock as she looked at the huge mansion before her. They had just arrived at Austin’s mansion and all she could say was ‘Wow’. She knew the Gerano’s were rich but she didn’t expect that they were this rich.The mansion before her was magnificent and she had never seen anything like it. Everything from the floor to the pillars screamed money.“I haven’t moved in yet,” Austin said to her before getting out of the car. Just like when Justin arrived at his own house, a group of helpers were waiting for Austin to get out of the car so they could welcome him.“I see a second mansion, is that for your brother?” she probed to which Austin nodded in affirmation. A middle aged woman also came forward and bowed to the young heir. “Good evening young master, it’s good to finally have you here,” she said. “I am Jeanine.”Austin nodded and smiled a little. “Please prepare my room and the guest room, she will be sleeping here tonight,” he informed, pointing
“Mr Gerano, please calm down,” Jasmine pleaded. “we can all discuss this like mature adults.” Discuss what Miss Baxter?” Austin asked irritably. “I do not want to hear anything all I want is that Miss Nelson over there pays me my money.” He turned to Ella who quickly hid behind Jasmine's back again in fear. “You better come out of there or else I'm warning that I’ll do something you do not like,” Austin threatened. “You have ten seconds to come out,” he added seeing that Ella refused to move from her spot. This woman was really testing his patience and she would regret it. Ella nudged Jasmine a bit. “Please do something. This guy is crazy and can do anything,” she said in a pleading voice. “I do not want to work as a helper in his house.”“Why couldn't you just have eaten more carefully,” Jasmine scolded her friend. “I always told you that your bad eating habit would get you into trouble one day and look at where we are, in trouble”“Five more seconds Miss Nelson,” Austin told th
After Jasmine and Ella finished reading the news, they returned the tablet back to Charlotte with shaky hands. “Ma’am this is not true,” they said.“Of course I know it’s not. You're only in this position because they put you there,” Charlotte said while glaring at Austin. The latter quickly looked away from his aunt’s eyes. “You cannot go back to your respective house for now,” Charlotte informed.“Why ma’am?" Jasmine and Ella asked at the same time."Because reporters are already outside your houses and they want an interview with both of you and trust me when I say it's not going to end anytime soon," Charlotte stated."The media have a lot of influence and at the slightest bit of information, they are going to crowd you.""You two will be moved to a new house. Don't worry your parents have been informed as well and they do not object to it," Charlotte told the two women."Ok ma'am," Jasmine agreed. It wasn't like she had much of a choice anyways. Charlotte smiled in satisfacti
After Jasmine finished talking with her mother, she proceeded to her room to take a shower. As she walked towards the room, she realized that she had no clothes to change into.However, on getting to her room she saw that her luggage and her stuff had already been moved to the mansion.She smiled to herself as she realized that it was her mother's doing. What would she do without her? 'Thank you mom,' she muttered to herself as she sorted out her luggage.She quickly proceeded into the shower to have a bath as she k didn't think that justin would cut her some slack especially after all that happened.She finished getting ready twenty minutes later and quickly left the house. Just as she was thinking of how to get to the office from the mansion, she saw a guard waiting for her outside.Good morning ma'am, the guard greeted "Good morning Jasmine replied with a smile on her face, trying to be as polite as possible."My name is Cole and I will be your personal guard from now on," he inf
Jasmine glanced at the table clock and saw that it was already twelve o'clock. Her father's driver would arrive to pick her up in fifteen minutes and she still hadn't told Justin that she would be going out.The truth was that she was too embarrassed to face him as she didn't want what happened earlier to repeat itself.She would have to face him sooner or later if she wanted to leave for lunch.Taking a deep breath, she stood up from her seat and knocked on his door."Come in," she heard him say. She slowly opened the door and walked into his office.Justin was sitting on the sofa in his office. His legs were crossed and he was reading some files.'God, he looks like a model!' Jasmine thought to herself. And as she did, she mentally scolded herself for having such thoughts about Justin."Do you have something to say to me or are you going to keep standing in my office?" Justin said sharply."Well sir, can I go out for lunch?" Jasmine asked.Justin put the files that were on his lap o
Jasmine, even though she knew that her father had an ulterior motive for calling her, was still astonished by his words. How could a man like Lucious Baxter suddenly wake up and change? And what made his supposed change even funnier was the fact that the change came right after the news of her and Justin's ‘relationship’ came out.“Well in that case, Mr Baxter, you’re the biggest fool I have ever met,” Jasmine couldn’t help but say.“Jasmine!” Lucious yelled, his face read with anger. He was this close to grabbing her by the neck and strangling her.Jasmine relaxed back on her chair and stared at Lucious in the face. There was a time seeing him angry terrified her but not anymore. Apart from the fact that she had grown up, he was not as terrifying as Justin Gerano and his entire family.Lucious on realizing that he had let his emotions take control of him, quickly calmed down. “Jasmine, you shouldn’t speak like that to your father,” he scolded.“And fathers aren’t supposed to abando
