The breakfast served by the resort was really good, and they both ate in quiet bliss.“I’ll be going to the company today, so I’ll drop you off at Roodles on my way,” Jasper said indifferently.“You don’t have to though.” Jasmine said looking at him, “I actually mean to go in the afternoon. This way is better, at least we’ll be able to keep whatever this is between us quiet. At least for now.”Seeing the displeasure on his features, she gently explained, “Although we might be keeping our relationship quiet right now, I want you to know that I don’t regret choosing you.” she said sincerely.Jasper nodded at her words and added, “Not many at the company know that we are together. Maybe only the senior manager.. But the rest of the others, the junior workers and all, they don’t know…” he paused deliberately and looked at Jasmine intently before adding affectionately, “That you are mine.”It was just four words. Four words, Jasmine thought, said with so much possessiveness that made her h

“Well, what those people said was that the both of you got together a while ago and are together.”Antonio was in shock and became defensive, “What actual rubbish. I can’t believe you would actually believe any of these things that those people said. They are lying!”Hearing what Jasmine had said made Flora very nervous, so she averted her eyes. But Antonio’s outright denial made her bold enough to speak up, “Yes, Antonio and I aren’t together. Those people lied, Jasmine.”“What’s more is that you and I have known each other since college. We’ve been friends for like forever. How could you even believe those people even with the years of friendship we’ve had?” Flora added, sounding wounded even.“It’s sad that you would believe them so easily.”Jasmine didn’t say anything, but she thought that it was a pity that Flora wasted her talents and didn’t enter into the acting industry. Such skills she displayed just now were valuable there.Fortunately for her, they weren’t the only ones who

Jasmine looked at Maria and huffed out a breath,“Maria, if you were to choose between here and coming with me, would you-”Before Jasmine finished her question, Maria already had an answer, “Of course, I’d go with you. In a heartbeat!” Maria said brightly and Jasmine was incredibly touched by her response. Maria was a very competent worker, and if she stayed at Luigi Inc. she was going to continue to have a steady and good income.But Maria had a good heart and was terribly against the twisted ways and mindsets of the people who worked in Luigi Inc. so of course, she appreciated the idea of working in a studio with much fewer workers.Jasmine, on the other hand, could no longer stay at Luigi Inc., but she was sorry that her choice was bound to affect Maria in so many ways.She was truly a true friend. One who had been there for her, and stood by her side through so much in the past five years.The two of them looked at each other, and without a word, burst into laughter.“So, are you

“Thank you, for always being on my side,” Jasmine said, her heart particularly warmed by Maria. “You rest for a while, then come back to work after you’ve fully recuperated.”Maria knew that Jasmine had the way she planned to go about things and didn’t push any further, “No problem. Well, you should know that I switched off my work phone. So if you ever need to reach me you can call my private number.”“I’ll do just that. Enjoy your holiday.”When the call ended, she looked up and saw Jasper’s gaze on her, “Is something wrong?” she asked.“You don’t want her to get involved. Is that why you asked her to leave so suddenly?”Jasmine shook her head, “It’s not as simple as that to be honest. Maria is my friend, but she’s also my assistant. If Antonio goes wild, he could go to her for information about me and our work, hence putting her in the sight of the crossfire. I don’t want that to happen to her.” Jasmine said and bit her lower lip.“This grudge is between both Flora and Antonio and

Jasper was many things to many people. To some, he was ruthless and never to be messed with.But to Jasmine, he was the sweetest, humblest, most endearing man she’d ever been blessed to meet or even have in her life. He was truly a gentleman.She went to the bathroom and had her bath, and by the time she was done, the discomfort she felt earlier because of her period had dissipated and she felt totally refreshed.Jasper was right after all. She had no reason to be in a hurry.When she stepped back into the room, she found Jasper already asleep on the couch, one arm thrown over his eyes and the blanket half slipping from his shoulder.For a long moment, she simply stood there watching him.This was his house. His bed. His room.And yet he had given all of it up for her comfort without a single complaint.Her chest tightened unexpectedly.Quietly, she walked over and pulled the blanket properly over him.Jasper stirred slightly but didn’t wake.Only then did she climb into the bed and l
