"I guess I know who the person behind that text message is," Stefen said and Jack had a serious face."What? Who?""You remember the day of her accident?""Yeah.""Kevin had called me that morning demanding to meet me urgently...""Wait a minute," Jack interrupted. "Kevin meaning your cousin Kevin?""Unfortunately yes. So listen to me. After the call I was crossing the road to meet him at the café opposite to our company where he said he wanted to meet me and that's when the car drove at huge speed towards me and Jasmine came in between. And do you remember when I told you to stay in the hospital and I ran out of the hospital when Jasmine was still in the Operation room?""Yeah," Jack said recalling all those moments."I rushed because Kevin called again, he said that I was saved and his plan failed...""WHAT?" Jack could not believe that. Rage took over his calm mind."Yeah.""Did he do that because...""Yes, because dad took back his position and threw him out of the company. He told
"Jasmine was asleep but I was awake reading a book and I heard her phone beep so I checked it and it was a message from an unknown number. I suspected the number to be of that same anonymous person so I checked and it said this," though that message wasn't for Alice but her fear was pretty much evident. "I did not want to worry Jasmine anymore so I did not wake her up and ran here instead," Alice explained.Jack kept his hand across her shoulder and caressed her shoulder seeing her panic."You did good Alice. Jasmine should not be given anymore mental pressure," Stefen said. He clicked the photo of that message from his phone and deleted it. "If you don't mind, I would like to be with Jasmine for a while." He said."Sure," Alice nodded. "I will just grab my book, you can be with her," Alice smiled and Stefen nodded.***Alice came back and sat on the couch as she started reading her book without disturbing Jack.Inside the room, Stefen sat on a chair beside the bed and watched Jasmine
"We will help Jack do it," Alice said."But-""I am not finished," Alice interrupted Jack. "We will help you write the reports and then you can submit that one to Sandra. And you can still continue to work and write reports of the ones we helped you with and then you can later submit that to us. We won't set any time limits and you can freely do the work and it won't even look like you skipped your responsibility," Alice explained."But what will we do of those reports that Jack will give us?" Stefen asked."I don't know, maybe make paper aero planes and fly them from the balcony," Alice was confused too.Jack laughed hearing her."The idea that Alice gave isn't so bad. In fact it is excellent. Jack, you have to agree," Stefen tried convincing Jack.Jack thought for a while but what Alice said was beneficial in every way. He will still get to complete his whole task and Sandra won't throw any tantrums at him as well. "Okay," he agreed."Okay then, I and Stefen will help you write the r
"His own mother hasn't visited him, even once?" Stefen could not believe that."Yes." Mr. William replied."Are you sure dad?""Yes, Stef. My people worked very hard to find those information. I even called the respective officer to assure that and my men were correct. Kevin has never had any kind of contacts with the anyone.""That's impossible. He was the only one capable of doing this grubby thing. Who else could that be?""Don't you worry, I have men on run. They will always be around you all but they won't make it obvious, so you guys need not feel like someone's invading your privacy. They will guard you all.""I guess that is best precaution we can take for now." Stefen was dispirited, he went into his deep thought. "Dad?""Yeah.""I just got another brilliant idea, and I will still be needing your help for that," Stefen smiled after long hours."And that is?""Jesus, why didn't I think of this before. We can trace the phone number from which that anonymous message was sent. We
It was Stefen's dad who helped Alison's dad's business to get back on its feet and they have been good friends ever since. Mr. William still helps Alison's father and shares his knowledge about the business world.Jasmine did not feel good seeing Stefen and Alison so close. She had feelings for Stefen that she could no longer deny, he was growing on her and therefore even the slightest action had a big effect."What happened, didn't you go to fill your water bottle? Why did you come back carrying the empty one again?" Jack asked as he saw Jasmine walking inside the department."Huh?" Jasmine was knocked back to reality after hearing Jack. She looked at her water bottle and saw it empty. She had completely forgotten about it."Hello Jazz, you there?" Jack waved his hand in front of her eyes seeing Jasmine lost again."Huh?" Jasmine asked."Forget it, I will bring the water. You go and sit," Jack took the water bottle from Jasmine's hand and exited the department.***"I can feel you Ali
It was their lunch hour and Stefen was not in his department as said by Alice. So, Jack, Jasmine and Alice went straight to the canteen without waiting for Stefen. They entered the canteen and Jack looked around with the hope of finding Stefen. But, he was not there. And to his surprise even Alison was nowhere to be seen.Did Stefen agree to go out with Alison? Jack thought.They were walking towards the queue to take there food when a familiar voice took all of their names serially from afar."J, Jazz, Alice?" Stefen came running from the canteen door with paper bags in his hand. He stopped in front of them, catching his breathe."What's that?" Alice asked pointing towards the paper bag. Jasmine and Jack did not speak."Oh these," he raised the bags. "These are our lunch for today," Stefen said still gasping out."How far did you run anyway?" Jack asked."Don't get me started, come let's go and eat them," Stefen squeezed his stomach."Okay," Jack agreed and and they all walked towards
Yes. Jasmine's heart shouted but it's sad no one could hear that. "Oh," she tried to maintain her calm. "Next week right?" Stefen nodded as he crossed his fingers under the table hoping for a positive answer. Jasmine pretended to think and after a long pause she spoke, "What about the work?" she was trying to behave as normal as she could at that point. "Holiday." Jasmine nodded pretending to understand "Okay then." Stefen had a wide smile on his face that stretched from ear to ear. "Okay." he joined his palms. "Let's go before Sandra comes and tells us to leave. It's almost time now, the break will be over soon," Jasmine said and walked away immediately. She was afraid she might over-react. Stefen followed her with a big grin on his face and so did the other two. Just before Alice was about to enter her department, Jack called her. "Alice?" She turned around. "What happened?" she asked. "Actually even I have something that I wanted to tell you," he said. "Okay, go on." "Y
Alison sighed listening Jack act that way, "start," She signed him to begin. "One, Stefen is my friend and I know you way too well to let you try to fool him just the you did to me for one whole year. Two, I know you don't love him and you are using him to try and fulfill one of your gluttonous needs. Three, Stefen loves someone else. Four, I hate you. Five, I loathe you. Six, I detest you. Seven, I execrate you. Eight, I abominate you. Nine, I despise you. Ten, I abhor you. You want me to continue or is this much reason enough to destroy your self-esteem?" Alison did not reply. She had fire flaming in her eyes. She was deeply affected with everything he said. She just stamped her feet on the ground and walked away. Jack turned around to see if Alice was somewhere around but she was not there. He went back with disappointment in his heart. *** Everyone were having their dinner. They thought of ordering pizzas instead of cooking since that would save them time and they can focus on
