Ella arrived at the Gerano company fifteen minutes later. She didn't need to wait at the reception like she didn't at Isabella's company as she already knew which floor Austin's office was and so she headed straight to the private elevator.She arrived on the floor where Austin's office was moments later and after speaking to the receptionist she was told that she could go to Austin's office.Thankfully Isabella had already called beforehand and told them that somebody from her company would be coming there and so the receptionist didn't give her much trouble like the one she had encountered earlier.After getting directions from the receptionist, she finally arrived at Austin's office. She took a deep breath before knocking on the door. She heard a familiar voice telling her to come in.She took another deep breath before entering Austin's office. She saw him sitting at his desk and reading some files. He was so engrossed in the files that he didn't even bother to look at who had en
“What are you doing?” Justin asked Jasmine in a cold voice. He had told her before leaving her room to get dressed. Twenty minutes later and she still hadn’t gotten dressed. She hadn’t left the position he left her in.This got Justin a bit irritated. Maybe buying her a phone was not a really good idea. “I was talking to Ella before you snatched my phone away from me,” Jasmine answered, acting as if Justin’s annoyed look didn’t have any effect on her.“You know, I bought you this phone, I can take it away,” Justin asserted.“That’s not how gifts work. You clearly said that the phone was for me and so you have no right to take my phone away from me,” Jasmine retorted and tried to reach for her phone.Justin however raised his hand up making it impossible for Jasmine to reach it as he was much taller than her. “No, I said the bag was yours, not the phone,” he pointed out.“Give me my phone, I want to read Ella’s message,” Jasmine protested as she jumped up, trying to reach her phone.
Jasmine reminisced about the past. Whenever she would celebrate happy occasions with her mother, she would always wish her father was there with her. Papa bear was the closest she had to experiencing fatherly love.While Jasmine was busy reminiscing about her past, Justin mind was trying to find a loophole in the ‘papa bear’s’ story. Who was this person and why was he sending Jasmine gifts?Well he knew why but WHY?The sound of the doors opening brought them both out of their thoughts. They came out and headed straight to their car. Just as they were about to enter their car, someone called Jasmine.She turned towards the direction where the caller’s voice had come from and saw her elder brother Chase walking towards her and beside him was none other than Chloe. 'How so unexpected,' Jasmine muttered sarcastically to herself. Even though Chase wasn't as brutal and sinister as his mother and sister, he wasn’t much different from them. He would always allow his friends to bully her a
"What the hell is wrong with you and why are you so stubborn?" Ella asked angrily."I should ask you the same thing. Why the hell are you so dumb?"Austin retorted.You know what, your sister thinking we could work together was a big mistake," Ella scoffed in anger."For the first time today we finally agreed as you said something sensible, you and I don't go well together," Austin quipped.They were currently in Isabella company's workshop trying to figure out a plan for the launching of the new designs from the L'oread company.This was Austin mother's company which he was now handling. Normally, it was always Charlotte Isabella and Danielle that would always handle it.But since her son had come back Danielle handed over to him and, well, Isabella had other things to do and so she assigned Ella to work along with Austin to figure out something.They had been on this issue for over two hours now and whenever Ella would suggest something Austin would brush it aside saying it was dumb
"It looks like I'll have to eliminate Austin Gerano once and for all," Ella said in a sinister tone.Bella's eyes immediately turned cold upon hearing Ella's words. "You know I'll support you in anything and everything you do but I advise you to be careful when you mess with the Gerano family. we both know how dangerous they are.""Of course you do not need to tell me how dangerous the Gerano family is," Ella stated."I have been a witness to it personally and all I can say is don't worry about me, I'll be fine. None of them has managed to discover who I actually am and I hope to keep it that way." Bella simply shook her head and she knew it was pointless trying to talk her out of doing something stupid. All she had to do was to prepare her men to protect Ella when that finally happened."I met Clark Fraser some days back," Ella told Bella. The latter jumped out of her chair and went to hold Ella."You actually met the king of the underworld, how was it?" She asked with curiosity.El
"That's it for today," Jonathan said to Jasmine. They had just finished her training and as expected, she was beyond exhausted."You're not as bad as you were when you first arrived here," Jonathan commented before turning to meet the rest of his men.Jasmine's face lit up on hearing Jonathan's words. It wasn't exactly a compliment but that was the nicest thing he had said to her ever since she started training with him two weeks ago.She checked the time and saw that it was already seven forty five. Justin wouldn't be able to come and get her as he had a meeting which would end by nine o'clock.Jasmine pouted her lips and sighed resignedly. She was already used to Justin picking her up. Sure he would annoy her along the way but they always made up."Ma'am, it's time to go," Cole said, bringing her out of her thoughts."Aren't you going to say hello to your father?" Jasmine asked a bit confused as to why Cole and Jonathan were acting so distant with one another. Cole glanced at his fa
“You fucking locked us out of the car!” Austin yelled in annoyance.“What, that’s not possible,” Ella replied in disbelief.Austin looked at her and then moved out of the way. “Please, be my guest and get me into the car.”Ella went to the car door and tried to open it but it refused to budge. She couldn’t even check if the doors were opened as it was night and the windows were tinted. “I’m still waiting,” Austin reminded when he saw that Ella had stopped trying to open the door.Ella, seeing that her efforts were futile, stopped trying and turned to Austin. “It didn’t open.”“No kidding!” Austin replied sarcastically. “You must have hit the central lock when you opened the door. None of this would have happened if you had just listened to me and stayed in the car.”“Hey, don’t you dare blame me. None of this would have happened if you had not taken this deserted route,” Ella clapped back.Austin scoffed in disbelief at Ella’s statement. “Well forgive me for trying to get you home as
Marcelo watched as the black car parked in front of him. The door opened and a tall man came out. The guards who were with Marcelo flinched on seeing Justin walking up to them.They immediately felt pity for the men who they had caught. Nothing in this world would save them from Justin's wrath. He finally got to where the men who were caught had been tied up. His piercing blue eyes sent a chill across the three men's spine.Justin's eyes went over the three men and he saw his brother sitting casually on his car's bonnet with a bored expression and beside him was Ella Nelson. Justin wondered what she was doing with Austin. He would ask him later for now, he needed to deal with the three idiots who actually thought they could kidnap his brother and get away with it.****Two hours ago.Ella opened her eyes and quickly shut them back when the sun’s sharp ray hit her. Damn that was really bright! She sat up and slowly opened her eyes once again. It was still very bright but she was able
