43 Meet Jasper

Gea continues to walk and try to clear her head; her heart aches.

It's been weeks, but it seems she needed more time if she did not want to have further relations with David...." hufffft"

Gea leaves a sigh, apologizing to DJ as she puts Her in the tight spot between Gea and her brother.

Gea walks around the city a bit more before heading back to Miss Anne Anexe. She could smell delicious food when she came closer to the next.

"Miss Anne, I have transferred to Jasper's account per your request, it's getting late. If you have a big blanket that I could use before he buys the mattress, that should be fine by me."

Oh, dear Jasper bought it right away after I told him I needed one and it's 120x200cm with no bed as I have no plan to put a bed there just have some pallets under, what do you say?"

"That would already be sufficient for me. Your next bathroom and view have already made me fall in love with it. My transfer is equal to a two-week stay."

"That settles it. By the way, Jasper is putting the mattress as we speak and I already put the bed sheet in the annex. I hope you won't mind to deal with it by yourself."

"Sure that's no problem at all."

"Oh, Jasper will join us for dinner, and you will be able to get to know each other well. I assume you would need information about this town, and Jasper happened to be the right person you could ask, there he is my nephew... Seems he is done with your mattress already." Miss Anne raised her chin to point to the annex as Gea saw a man walking in their direction

"You must be Gea, the mobile-less person." Jasper offers his hand for a handshake Gea's hand

"Mobile-less?" Gea questions the meaning while handshake Jasper's hand

"Oh, my aunt says you have no handphone or any gadget to be easily reachable nowadays, which is not so typical of this era, I am sorry if I offended you by calling so."

"No, no it's ok... I just wondering what it means " Gea brushes the uncomfortable feeling in Jasper right away

Clap her hands, Miss Anne asks them to go inside her house as dinner is served.

During dinner, Jasper and Gea almost do not talk at all except for Miss Anne who shares some customs of this town and what to expect during this season.

As in the coastal side, this town offers nice holiday places and the hotel there is part of it. However, considering it was not a holiday Gea feels very comfortable already

Having Jasper's number on the business card would be useful too as she might need to look around. His hotel manager would be enough tough as he is not always around. Aside from their conversation, Gea learned Jasper occasionally visits here to check on his aunt.

"Thank you for the dinner and all the information shared, but I need to leave and get back to the annex and rest." Gea excused herself from the aunt and the nephew as they seemed to still have other things to discuss

Neither of them holds her and lets her go back to the annex for rest

"She seems like a nice young lady, I wonder what happened to her?" Miss Anne spoke her thoughts to Jasper

"It is not something that you should be bothered by," Jasper told her aunt

After more than a couple of hours of exchanging stories, Jasper left his aunt's house. Heading to his car he picks up a phone and dials his best friend's number, but gets no answer

He texted [Hai, call me as soon as you see this message, you may not need to look far... I think I just met the woman you are looking for. Have not been able to take her picture, but I am pretty sure it is her].

Jasper, sight deeply contemplating if he doing the right thing or not. 'ah whatever will be... Will be .' he tries to reassure himself

Enter the annex Gea could see the mattress already in perfect place, everything seemed right. Open her suitcase she arranged her things and put the empty suitcase above the closet.

Took her toiletry she was heading to the bathroom but before he could enter a loud ringing could be heard nearby that almost shocked her. Gea looked around trying to figure out where the voice coming from. Once again it was ringing and she just saw a phone near her bed.

Gea was perplexed as to what was going on, why did she have a landline phone near her bed that she had not seen earlier, and now it was ringing?

Contemplating, Gea finally reached for the phone and picked it up.

"Hallo... Hello, who is calling?" Gea's voice sounds cracked

"Hai, sorry to interrupt you... Just remember I still have a landline there that has never been used, asked Jasper to reinstall it as it never gets cut off because my husband has made such arrangements for it, it's under a different number from the main house you could write it down"

Gea looks for his bag to write down this landline number and insists that she should be the one who pays for this line Gea holds up the phone.

Seeing that it is still early Gea tries to call DJ and inform her of this new no just in case.

Feeling tired Gea almost fell asleep. However, the sticky clothes still win to make her move to the bathroom. She's happily noticed that the bathroom has water heather. Spending 15 minutes in the bathroom feels enjoyable and Gea falls asleep as soon as her head touches the pillow.

Dj.. Feels glad that Gea's out and her voice a while ago seems better than before.

She still can not believe what the news said and luckily she mutes the volume when Gea calls to let her the landline no next to her, meaning that DJ can contact her even at night time and does not have to through someone else.

Christ Banner will be back, and he is arriving tomorrow and is under the S entertainment company's top management as A list performer.

'What is wrong with the world, what is David thinking is he dumb?' DJ almost cursed David more before realizing that he had no info about Gea and Christ's relationship

"What should I do?" she speaks her mind out loud when she calls Dave

"There's nothing we could do about it, as David has signed the contract before I could inform him," Dave told DJ what happened

"Hmmm, okay" It's what DJ could utter before hanging up the phone

Dave explains the pros and cons that David will face if He terminates the contract, and knowing David well Dave says he would not choose that due to there being other people at stake if that decision is made and sacrifices others for his gain were not a choice at all to David. If it's only his then he may not hesitate one bite to do so for Dave has seen how he is easily readable when Dave passes the info about Christ and Gea's past relationship.

After landing and on his way to the apartment prepared by the company Christ turned on his phone and replied right away [can't call now but will soon, which town exactly ?]. Close his phone and eyes, Christ tried to picture the face that still lingering after years.
