“What are you talking about?” Jason asked with restrained anger. She had the gut to send him thought-provoking images that had him running over in a panic and she dared to talk to him like this? She smirked at him as if she could hear his thoughts clearly and then looked at him squarely in the face as she folded her arms. “I am not going to stand here while God knows who is probably looking at us from behind one of those numerous cameras. No, I have plenty to say to you but not here, sir” With that, she sauntered over to his car in the boots she seemed to love wearing. She jerked open his car door and entered without asking for permission. Jason gave her a stern look for a moment which she only returned with a stubborn look of hers, her arms crossed against her body as she waited for Jason to enter the car. Jason entered and he said in a sarcastic tone as he puts on his seat belt “Oh, do go right ahead and make yourself comfortable” “Oh, I certainly intend to do that,” she said as
“Daddy, who is she?” Jasmine asked in curiosity as she climbed down from Jason’s arms. Alexander was already pulling at Millicent’s pant trousers, not giving a care that the pretty, tall, lady barely managed a strained smile as she looked down at him. She didn’t even bend down to call him cute as most people would do nor did she tell Jasmine that she was an adorable girl even though he knew for sure that Jasmine was not adorable. Annoying maybe, though he wouldn’t tell his dad that. Still, Alexander liked the tall, unsmiling lady and he was fascinated by her pretty hair that cascaded down her shoulders, he had never seen anything like it before. His aunt Mia’s hair had been the most beautiful he had seen before but this lady’s hair even beat that. Of course, he wouldn’t tell Aunt Mia. She loved the jelly beans that she snuck for him when Jasmine wasn’t looking. Even Ganma Celia’s hair was beautiful but it is short and not as fine as this lady’s hair. So the first thing he said as he
The situation was worse than Jason had anticipated. One thing was certain though. That beautiful, bold woman whom he had met twice and even resented for being the reason why he had not seen his master before his death, was well on the verge of death. As Jason finished the conference meeting that he had with her team of doctors which included a nephrologist, a hepatologist, a cardiologist, an endocrinologist, and an allergist and headed by a renowned doctor who is known to be skilled in most areas of specialities; he felt more disheartened than he was before he made the call. All he could get from the six of them was that they truly had no idea of what had been injected into her system, especially since it had been a while before her full treatment started; the substance had spread to different areas of her organs. Her lungs had the worst hit but her kidneys, liver, heart and even her skin were not left out. Though they were giving him reassurances, Jason could see that at this point,
The audacity! The fact that she continued walking without so much as looking back to answer his query was galling enough for Jason. He had no idea why but the girl infuriated him with almost everything she did. She was going to learn who was in charge! As much as he would have liked to shout at her and demand that she answered him, he merely folded his arms and smiled in a chilling manner when he saw that she threw him a furtive glance before she took the turn that lead to the kitchen. “Did she expect me to run after her like a mad man? Silly twit” he thought to himself before he speed dialled a number on his phone and only said “Bring her to the gazebo. Quietly, do not startle the kids” “Yes, sir” a sound said on the other end and he disconnected the call as he tucked his car key back into his pocket and he took the back door instead. A toned-muscled gardener looked up from his task and bowed slightly in Jason’s direction, he nodded back in greeting and went on his way. An o
She did not have the chance to scream or attract the kids' attention, which was sure was her intention, before he had her arms tied and her mouth gagged with the strips of ribbon that someone had conveniently left behind in the gazebo. Probably Jasmine. Jason mused at the irony of tying the woman, whom Jasmine did not like, with her ribbon.“Is she here to be my new mum?” she had whispered to him in question the other time.Yeah, right. As if he would want such a banshee like her around his children. Jason thought in vexation as he slightly rubbed at his shin, prepared he must have been, but she had still been able to get one in. Just not at the point where she had intended.He leaned back on the settee with his arms folded as he showed her his apparent amusement at her muffled yells and glare.“We can do this all day or you can stop yelling and let me know when you are ready to talk like the adult that you keep insisting that you are '' he said slowly.More muffled yells and he simpl
They barely saw each other in the next few days after their altercation. Jason knew it was ridiculous but he would rather feel that way and stay away from that volatile girl than have her rile him up again within the blink of an eye. Damned if he knew why she was able to get under his skin that fast.He had given her specific instructions through Isabella and though he had expected her to rebel against him just for the sake of it; so far she had been cooperative.She was to stay away from his kids.She was to resume her work as the intern manager of acquisitions and she was to listen to and obey the manager who would be her direct boss. She was not allowed to run amok in the city or go anywhere without informing Isabella first.She was not allowed anywhere near his room or his office at all times. She was not allowed to seek an audience with him. If she wanted something in the house, she was to ask Isabella. If she needed something in the office, she was to ask her direct boss.Jaso
Florence Gail’s heart stopped. Jason gave the doctors feedback about the decision they agreed on. Millicent figured that her aunt had more chance been alive with the surgery done than without it. Jason agreed with her as well since the alternative would mean that the spleen infection would spread through the body since Gail’s immune system had stopped working altogether. The doctors were informed and arrangements were done immediately. Jason refused to let Millicent fly over to the hospital alone as she had intended. He went with her after doubling the security of the house and ensuring the kids that he would be back home before they get back from school the following day. For once, Millicent didn’t argue with him and the journey was eerily quiet in the company jet that Jason had recently commissioned to make official assignments hassle-free. Throughout the journey, he was oddly attuned to her anxiety even though she did not say a word, she merely sat in her chair, reclined it back
"She did what?!" Jason jerked up in bed and quickly looked to his side to see if had woken his kids. They had insisted on sleeping in his bed the night before instead of in their room and he couldn’t help but think that they were sort of conscious of his sour mood despite the excitement he mustered when he saw them. He sighed a little when Jasmine merely turned over in her sleep, rolling most of her lower body over her brother. The latter was dead to the world as he slept on unaffected. Jason quickly left the room to speak more normally. “Sir? Can you…are you still there, sir?” he heard as he put the phone back to his ear. “Yes, yes, I am here. What the heck were you talking about?” he asked instantly, ignoring the night chill buffeting his bare upper body. “I am so sorry about this, sir. It all happened so fast that the nurses on duty couldn’t do anything to stop her. She had all the necessary papers for evacuation, sir. And a caretaker to take care of the body too. Everything was
