Jasmine.I scoffed, "You can't possibly know that. I'm telling you all there is to know about your brother's whereabouts," I said, trying to keep my voice as low as I could. I wasn't interested in causing a scene.But Amanda had always been one for dramatic exits. She simply rolled her eyes at me and slammed her hand on the table, when she was sure all eyes were on her, she smirked and walked away.Utter embarrassment. Tell me she didn't believe me and walk out like that, she was just so mature.The waiter didn't come forward for the payment of the bills so I assumed it had been paid beforehand or perhaps Amanda had an habit of paying for meals later on. I left the place before anyone could look closer at me and realize they know me or perhaps something even worse.The headache I felt became worse and all I wanted to do was go home and sleep for the remainder of the day but I had too much work to do. I still had to meet with my other boss and show him the work I had done. Damnnnnn.S

Jasmine.When we were younger, there were times I was interested in smacking Alexander at the back of his head. Today was one of those times."What the heck are you talking about?" I asked as calmly as I could, I didn't want to become all flustered and then have him discover he was right about whatever theory he had conjured in that brain of his.Another eyebrow raised, he walked away from me, towards the exact same chair Mr Warner had sat on just minutes before and sat on it."This whole ploy, working for Mr Warner....." He waved his hands around as he said that, "Somehow you discovered I was planning on working with him and like the nosy little brat you are, you found a way to get the job," He reclined his body on the chair."How much did my dad pay you? Heck how much did Amanda pay for this?" He chuckled while saying those words like it was some sort of amusing discovery for him.Honestly, I hadn't felt that flabbergasted in my entire life."Hold on...." I started with my right han

Jasmine.Alexander always knew how to play the disappearance card. He did it when we were younger and he was doing it now.Making me anxious because I keep on thinking about his next move. Would he actually tell Mr Warner the truth once he found out I flaunted his orders. Or was he just playing bluff.Today makes it seven days since I last saw him or Gia, his assistant no longer sent updates about the security and how far along they were. It was almost like Castor security disappeared into thin air.A knock on the door brought me back from my thoughts."Jasmine, it's me Ruby," A voice from the other side called, the sound sending relaxation down my body immediately.I adjusted my stance and removed what I was initially doing on the computer to something less suspicious, I couldn't deal with a suspicious Ruby."Come on in," I shouted back, even plastered a big smile on my face so it would be convincing when she walked in.Ruby was in a happy normal mood today, dressed in a hot pink jum

Jasmine.Parties were a sort of escape for extroverts and always an inconvenience for introverts like myself whom didn't want to have anything to do with humans at the late hours of the day.I wished I could just crawl back into my house and get a glass of wine, popcorn and binge watch Netflix for the next five hours or until I fell asleep. I picked up the golden charm bracelet mom had bought for me recently, for some reason Morgan Castor was in the spirit of giving and I was the one that received what she wanted to give. Amanda said it was because I came home more frequently now and I called her just to ask how she was. Sentimental much.It felt like a snug hug on my wrist and coupled with the black corset gown I chose to wear, I felt like I could do anything. It wasn't as provocative as last time but could still make heads turn whenever and wherever I went to."Black suits you," Ruby mentioned from her spot on the bed. If I didn't know her voice and if I hadn't been looking towards

Jasmine.I had a hard time falling asleep after I disappeared from Alexander's apartment. I wondered how he would feel when he finally woke up and I wasn't there.Would he call? Did he even have my number? I wasn't sure about that but I knew he could get it if he wanted."Why are you here at this odd hour?" Ruby had asked the moment she caught me sneaking into the house, "Like a one-night stand with no self respect," She added.Dressed in the sexiest blue nightgown and drinking milk in my kitchen while almost giving me a heart attack, I was glad I hadn't woken her up."What are you doing here?" I screeched out the question, carefully evading her question and words, "You almost made me pee my pants."Ruby did a little hmmm sound, her eyes moved up and down my body. Carefully assessing what was mine and what wasn't. I was dressed in a plain white t-shirt and shorts I stole from Alexander's closet."This is mine," I said while using my hands to awkwardly point to every point of my body.
