BXBX NOVEL Chapter 38 - Don't Call Except I Do
"Tell her that I will pay her handsomely for the information," Jasmine said sternly before she went back to work.
"Ok, boss. I will get back to you soon," Catherine said as she turned and leave the office.
Catherine just needed to tell her friend working in Jackson\'s company that her boss will pay her for the information for her to get the job done immediately. The greedy lady even asks Catherine to contact her each time her boss has a special job for her.
Just like Jasmine had promised she transferred a hefty sum of money to Catherine\'s friend after she received the information she sent.
"He has a meeting by around 4:30 pm, which means for me to get the chance to talk to him. I have to leave my office earlier," Jasmine said as she stares at the email of Jackson\'s schedule that the lady sent.
"Thank goodness I don\'t have a meeting at that time, I will be there on time," Jasmine said. She afterwards tried to get all her work done before the time for her to leave reaches.
"Good luck, may today\'s outing be productive," Catherine said to the already departing Jasmine.
Jasmine smile when she heard Catherine\'s words.
Jasmine had wanted to reach Jackson\'s company early but because of the traffic jam, she couldn\'t.
Back in his office Jackson who was on the phone smiled when he heard his friend\'s eager voices.
"Jack, what about Jasmine are we not meeting her today?" Steve asked anxiously over the phone. They both eagerly waited for Jackson\'s reply.
"I am taking her out on a ride today?" Jackson said smiling as he signals his assistant at the centre of the room to get him his suit.
"Taking her out on a ride? Did she agree to go with you?" Steve asked with a mixture of surprise and confusion.
"Did he need to ask her for permission when he knows that she is going to follow him wherever he goes?" Jeff asked smiling at the other end.
"Ok, I understand what he meant now," Steve said after Jeff finished explaining.
"Jack, just an advice from me. Try not to make her angry today because she was very upset with you yesterday. I can vouch that I have never seen her so angry since we met her...,"
"I will treat her right today," Jackson interrupted abruptly.
"Good luck on your date with her. Don\'t forget to do the seducing today. Don\'t let her beat you to it. Fighting," Jeff said just to encourage him.
"We will call...,"
"Don\'t call except I do," Jackson interrupted before Steve could complete his sentence.
"Whoa... JK is afraid that we will call at bad timing. We will listen to you," Jeff said in a playful tone.
"She must be on her way at the moment, I need to leave," Jackson said as he immediately disconnected the call.
It was just like he had foreseen it because immediately he reached where his driver was already waiting for him, Jasmine arrived.
"Wait, Ice Prince," Jasmine shouted as she rushed to where he wanted to enter the car. She even forgot to close the door of her car in the process.
"I need to talk to you," Jasmine said holding his right hand before he could enter the car.
"I am already late for a meeting. Set up an appointment for another day," Jackson said as he signals her to let go of his hand.
"But...,"
"I really need to go now, Jasmine," Jackson said in a gentle voice. Seeing that she was slightly distracted he quickly entered the car and close the door before she could stop him. Afraid that she might do something else to stave off him from leaving, he quickly ordered his driver to zoom off.
"Isn\'t it just a meeting that will last for less than thirty minutes, if he thinks that I won\'t dare to follow him then he is wrong," Jasmine said as she rushed to her car? After fastening the seatbelt, the driver zoomed off in the direction they took.
While hurriedly following Jackson, what Jasmine did not know was that the venue of his meeting was in a faraway place that will take them at least an hour to reach there.
Seeing her car following him closely, Jackson smile happily.
I know she is known for winning over all her targets but I can\'t believe that she could be so persistent. I guess her persistence is what contributed to her great success.
Jackson thought maintaining his smiling face. He asked his driver to fold the roof of the car so he could enjoy the beautiful landscape.
"You actually followed me," Jackson said when Jasmine\'s car caught up to his.
"Being persistent is one of my charms if you don\'t know that," Jasmine said smiling at him brightly. Seeing her beautiful smiling face, he could not resist staring at her.
