Colton did not let go of Jasmine's hand even if they have reached the top floor where Colton's office is located. "Good morning, Mr. Olivares," Alexis greeted his boss, " Mr. Fred Henderson and his niece Maddy Henderson are already waiting for you in your office," he added. "Ennn..." Colton just nodded his head as a response. He then walks to his office, still holding Jasmine's hand. "Uhm. Colton, maybe you should let go of my hand now," Jasmine said. Colton stopped in his track and turn his head to Jasmine, "Why?" "Are you not comfortable with me holding your hand?" He asked. "Yes, You're making me uncomfortable," Jasmine replied without hesitation, and she saw when a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes," I mean... Look, your employees keep on looking at us!" she said in a faint voice that only she and Colton could hear. Colton looked around. Some employees are walking in the hallway with their gaze on them, but they instantly look dow

"Auntie, Uncle!" Jasmine called for Dina and Ed when she got off the taxi in front of the house."Jasmine!" Dina exclaimed as soon as she saw Jasmine, a trace of happiness could be seen on her face. She already missed Jasmine even though it was just one day since she moved out of the house.Dina opened the gate for Jasmine, " Hey, dear, how are you?" she asked as she looked at Jasmine worriedly from head to toe as if checking if she was hurt anywhere."I'm fine, auntie," Jasmine replied, " Don't worry so much about me," she said."I can't help it," Dina replied, " You said it yourself that Mr. Olivares is a mean person. What if he abuses you?" she said in concern."Nah! Don't you trust me, auntie?" Jasmine acted tough, " I am not a weakling, I can defend myself if he tries to hurt me," she assured.Dina just sigh.Sure Jasmine can defend herself!She even knocked that man off with a flying kick!"Come and let's talk insi

"Stay there, Jasmine, otherwise, you will regret it," Colton warned Jasmine."What's wrong with you?" Jasmine was confused by Colton's change of attitude."I am not trying to be rude here, okay." Colton said, "It's just that, I can't be near you right now," he reasoned."How come?" Jasmine continued to ask in confusion."Just don't ask too much," Clint replied sullenly. " You better go to bed and rest now," he added before he turned and headed to the study room.'Tsss!' Jasmine twitched her mouth, " What was that?""He was nice to me and then he switch to being rude after just a moment?" she mumbled in annoyance. She couldn't understand that guy!He is so grumpy like a menopausal woman!Jasmine just finished her wine to head to the bedroom.Colton put his palm in his left chest. His heart and pounding so hard!This kind of emotion is new to him. He doesn't even feel like this to every woman he brought to bed, but

It was already dark when Jasmine came back to the condominium. Her thoughts were still in her conversation with Lani. She wonders why Lani looked so frightened when she talks about her mother's death.She wants to help her, but how could she do that if Lani herself doesn't want to bring justice to her mother's death?" Lani, I am a police officer and I could help you investigate your mother's death," Jasmine said to Lani, " You can trust me with this," she added, but Lani shook her head, indicating for refusal."There's no need, Jas," she said, " Please, don't insist on investigating this one. You don't know what kind of people are behind my mother's death. I would rather keep quiet for me and my son's safety," she added with a trace of fear in her eyes."O-Okay," Jasmine did not insist anymore. She saw the fear in Lani's eyes. She was not afraid for herself, but for her son's safety." But you can always count on me

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Jasmine covered her mouth with her palm and pretend to be surprised! "I must have mistaken the salt for sugar!" she said, " My bad, I'm sorry about that," she said even though she doesn't sound sorry at all! "You!" Maddy pointed her finger at Jasmine in anger! She bulged her eyes in ager as she gritted her teeth. She was like an angry dragon who would blaze fire at any moment! "Colton, are you not going to do something about this?!" Maddy turned to Colton, hoping he would take her side and scold Jasmine and fire her. "What can we do about it?" Colton said, unbothered by the two bickering women," It was not her intention to put salt in your coffee," he continued, " And besides, she already apologized," he added which surprised Maddy! Colton is taking sides with Jasmine! The thing has also surprised Jasmine! Jasmine looked at Colton in surprise. She did not expect him to take her side. But still, it wasn'
