I should make her understand the consequences.”Before Jasmine could respond, a middle-aged man in a tailored suit approached them.“Mr. Cole. I’m Robert Hayes, the store manager. I heard there was a misunderstanding”Harrison looked at him.“There was no misunderstanding. Your employee just told my guest she didn't belong here.”The manager's face tightened. He turned to the assistant, who had followed him back.“You did what?”“I just said that….sir, I didn't mean it…”“You profiled a client on my account,” the manager cut in, his voice sharp now.” In front of other clients. Do you have any idea whose gu

    Harrison exclaimed, staring intently at the message.Gregory: We recovered the vehicle from the accident. Forensics completed the inspection. The front tie rod was cut almost through and the brake line was tampered with. That's what caused the steering to lock before the car flipped."Any problem Mr.Cole?" Jasmine asked.He locked the phone. "Nothing you need to concern yourself with."She studied his face briefly, then adjusted the notebook under her arm."Your appointment with Dr. Richard, should I confirm that we're still going?""Yes. Confirm it."She nodded and left without another question.Once the door closed, Harrison called Gregory."I want the full forensic report. Send it to my private email only.""Understood.

    “Can you hear me, sir”The voice on the other end of his phone was still talking.Harrison didn't hear it. He blinked, finally ending the call without a word. He slipped the phone into his pocket, but his eyes didn't leave her.“You're... ready?” he stammered. Jasmine tilted her head, trying not to smile at how flustered he looked. “You sound surprised,” she said.“I thought you wouldn't consider... coming,” he said, his eyes betraying him again, dropping for a second to the slit of her gown, to her slender legs, before he forced them back to her face.Her cheeks heated.“I said I'd join you. Provided it was professional.”“It is,” he said quickly.She walked past him toward the door, her hand tugged against at the slit of the gown.“Let's go,” he said, picking up the car keys on the table****Cole Industries was a glass-and-steel tower in Midtown.

    Hamilton suddenly found his glass of water interesting. He sipped from it, almost choking.“Can we eat?” Harrison said.Vanessa blinked. “I was just…”“I know what you were doing,” Harrison cut in, “We have food getting cold while you interview my staff.”Hamilton choked a little on his water again, but this time he wisely said nothing.Margaret, elegant as ever, picked up her fork.“Of course, dear,” Margaret said calmly. “Let's eat.”Jasmine kept her eyes down. Her hands were tight around her fork. “my staff,” that was all she was.Vanessa's smile finally tightened. She picked up her fork too, but her eyes flicked back to Jasmine for one second.“He defends you now?”Harrison set his fork hard down against the plate and picked up his phone.“I'm done,” he said, standing up.Margaret looked up. “Stay Harrison” “Later Mom,” he said and left.She turned to Hamilton. “You couldn't even make him stay”“I couldn't do anything, Mom,” Hamilton replied, sipping the remaining juice in his gl

    The phone rang twice before the call failed to connect.Harrison lowered the phone.He hadn't even decided what to say.A question about her mother would have been simple enough, but somehow, he hadn't been able to put the words together.He set the phone aside and returned to his work.For a few minutes, he managed to concentrate.Then his eyes drifted back to the phone.Harrison frowned.This was becoming ridiculous. It was already 9 p.m., Hamilton was on his way to the kitchen to get a bottle of water when he found Harrison in the gym. His brother was working through a routine that Richard had approved, although Harrison had already attempted to increase the intensity beyond the recommended limits.

    By seven a.m., Harrison had cleared three reports and fired off two emails that made his assistant go pale. The only thing that actually annoyed him was the empty chair across from his breakfast table.Hamilton walked in, took one look, saw where he was looking and smirked.“Dude, just text her.”Harrison didn't look up. “I have work”“Yeah. You're really working hard staring at that chair,” Hamilton said, taking a toast off his plate.He left before Harrison could reply.****Jasmine had been up all night.
