Chapter 20: Annoying Interuptions

"Operation cupid" I repeated evenly

Grace stared at me like a gaping fish, that I found extremely cute on her

After a few seconds Grace schooled her features

"What do you mean operation cu-cupid" She stuttered the last word and she had a look of pure fright

I tilted my head confused at her facial expression and while I was thinking of the reason, Grace was screaming inside her head

'Noooo! My poor baby is gonna be taken away by someone! I need to do something! Wait, she never elaborated on what she's talking about. Maybe it's not what I'm thinking, maybe.....hopefully....but what if I'm RIGHT!' Grace was freaking out internally, but after awhile a small flicker passed through her eyes that I was able to understand

"It's not for me" I told her in what I think was a calming way

"Really!" Faster than what I thought Grace was capable of she sprung to her feet and zoomed over shaking me back and forth by my shoulders

I simply nodded causing Grace to flop on the couch next to me with a huge sigh of relief

"Good, because for a second there I thought I would have to ki-*cough*- I mean kindly relocate someone off the face of the earth" Grace said cracking her knuckles menacingly

I watched her mind race with ways to probably kill the imaginary person she came up with, causing me to crack a tiny smile in amusement

Grace saw this from the corner of her eye and smiled gently

'She's getting there' Grace thought relaxing instantly

"*cough*, so what is this operation cupid you were talking about" Grace changed the subject

"Matchmaking" I said, but I continued when Grace motioned me to keep going

"To bring Ceilia and Oliver together"

.....

Grace just stared at me with a blank stare and I stared right back

…....

"Oliver, as in Oliver Hale" 

"Mmhm" I confirmed

.....

"Amelia's father" Grace said slowly with a twitch in her eye

I looked at Grace with confusion but nodded my head again

"So, if they get together then she'll be your si-sist-sister" Grace struggled to say the last word bearing a distraught expression

"Yeah" I said slowly with a tilt of my head

A spark flared through Grace's eyes

"Why do you want to bring them together" Grace said through clenched teeth

"They both deserve to be happy" I bluntly said

Grace's expression released from it's tension and she looked at me confused, but with a gentle look

"You want to bring them happiness?" Grace asked

'I know that Ceilia was cheated on by her greedy husband and he never cared for her, but I never noticed any indication that she was unhappy. She was always professional and never showed anything but that in front of others. I might not know anything, but the one thing I'm sure about is Jasmine always knows what she's doing. It's just a feeling. I might not like Amelia, but Jasmine does and I will respect her choice. I will be civil with Amelia for Jasmine and who knows, I might start to like that arrogant, sly, annoying, self-absorbed, suck up ,bitch. Who is also very smart, reasonable, and not to ba--......Yeah, I'm just gonna ignore how much I know about her' Grace finally stopped her flowing thoughts and gazed at Jasmine's side profile has she sipped the tea that was given to her

"So, what's the plan" Grace smiled

30 minutes ago

Cynthia's P.O.V.

"Hello sexshy, wan na dance~" A drunk, tall and handsome man asked a blonde beauty who was already dancing with five guys. Her cheeks flushed from the dancing and slightly slurred movements from all the alcohol.

I turned around and was met with messy brown hair and dull green eyes. He had an above average face and was tall.

I analyzed him from head-to- toe and noticed an expensive watch on his wrist. I smiled seductively at him and stood on my tippy toes.

"Well, hello there, handsome. I would be honored for a dance with you" I wrapped my arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, my hot breath fanning his cheek

His face flushed and he put his hands on the top of her hips, and we swayed with the music.

I was about to seduce this easy prey, but the second I opened my mouth I heard a name I was all to familiar with,

"Jasmine" I immediately sobered up, but I couldn't hear anything but that because of all the noise. I surveyed the area fast and locked my eyes onto a small girl with pitch black hair

The girl turned her head a little and I caught a glimpse of her blood red eyes.

'Jasmine! What the heck are you doing here' I thought annoyed and angry

'Mom's not going to like this. I gotta tell Rose' I thought while detaching myself from the man and quickly leaving before he could get a word in

I walked to the edge of the room towards the booths and spotted Rose sitting elegantly while being surrounded by high class men and women.

"Sister!" I shouted to her making my way over

Rose turned towards me and gave me a disapproving look.

"Yes Cynthia? What is it that you need?" Rose asked calmly shooing the people away with her eyes

They took the hint and fled

I scooted into the seat across from her and leaned forward

" Jasmine is here"

Rose straightened up immediately and locked her gaze onto mine with a dark expression that made me a little nervous.

"Jasmine"

I nodded

"I thought mom told her to stay inside her room?" I asked Rose confused

"That's the thing" Rose put a hand on her chin and looked onto the dance floor with a thoughtful expression, "she hasn't been doing anything mother has told her to do lately. She's been acting differently" Rose's eyes lowered when she said the last sentence

"Pfft, yeah right. She's still the obedient little sister we've always known" I waved off Rose's comments  and stood up

"Where are you going" Rose demanded

 I smirked and looked over my shoulder

"I'm going to drag her right to mom for the consequences" 

Rose sighed and stood up as well walking beside me

"Fine, but I'm coming along. You'll probably mess this up"

I stumbled and glared at her

" I am fully capable. You're the one who needs to be watched. You might kill someone accidentally"

Rose looks at me from the corner of her eye and smiled disarmingly

"Oh sister. If I kill someone it won't be on accident"

My eyes widened but I slyly smiled after a second

"Hmph, of course, That's my sister"

We shared a cruel smile and made our way through the crowd. Heading towards the direction Jasmine went.
