Chapter 25. Used product

I'm so sorry for the late update. I know it's have been long but I promise to be current on updates from now on.

The event was a lively one with so many people from the business world and some well-known celebrities. Reporters were everywhere trying to make the headline tomorrow morning. With everything that was going on, Laura was more focused on the duo beside her. She knew that Jane was flirting with Jason. She has always longed for this opportunity now that it present itself, Jane was going all in which is understandable considering her personality. What surprised her most was Jason who seems to be having a good time flirting back with her.

Laura felt like a third wheel with so many emotions building up inside her.

"I need to get out of here before I do something crazy," Laura said as she drops the empty glass on the table before walking away.

Jason saw her reaction and only smile to himself in satisfaction. But then he felt a hand clogged up to his arm he was surprised to see who dares to do that. When he turned he saw Jane smiling from ear to ear holding his arm.

"What do you think you're doing?" He said out of irritation. Jane felt his sudden mood swing and stepped back.

"So... sorry, I thought you..." Jane was unable to say anything because of those orbs glaring at her. "I'm sorry, it won't happen again" Jane apologized realizing that she overstep her boundary.

"It's better not" He shifted his attention to what was happening on the stage.

The speaker has been sharing their vision for their company and its benefits.

"Now, with no further ado, I would like to introduce our new investor. please give it up for Mr. Hughes, the CEO of the Hughes Cooperation" The host's announcement earned a round of applause from the crowd.

"We are here today due to his help" the host added. Amid the cheering, Jason's eyes were darting around looking for someone. Jane noticed him looking around and decided to ask.

"Are you perhaps looking for someone?" Jane asked carefully in other not to get on his bad side.

"Yes. Have you seen Laura?" Jason asked her. That name alone sore her mood.

"Why is he concerned about Laura," she thought to herself. "Maybe she went to the restroom?" she replied with a fake smile.

"Okay," he said. After looking around for a while some businessmen came to him hoping to curry favor from him.

"I heard the Hughes cooperation partner with scarlet beauty for their new brand," the first man said.

"Oh really? That's awesome. Mr. Hughes, I'm amazed at your ...." Another man said.

"If I may ask. I would like us to discuss the proposal I submitted a few months ago " the first man interrupted him.

"You should make an appointment with my secretary if you want to discuss anything " Jason replied him. "Speaking of secretary, where the hell is Laura?" He thought to himself before walking out on the men.

After walking aimlessly in the party trying to avoid the duo, Laura went to use the restroom. Standing in front of the mirror, Laura's mind wandered off to that morning when Jason told her to change her code of dressing. She turned to the side and check herself properly.

"Do I look old school in this outfit? Is he going after Jane because she's sexier than me? Hmmm. I guess he now got what he wants after sleeping with me. I'm now a used product ". Laura said sadly to herself. "he can do whatever he wants but, I won't let it gets to me. Keep smiling and show him what you got ". She encouraged herself. She took a few breaths before she opened the door and went out.

Laura was shocked out of her wit when she saw the figure standing outside the restroom.

"What took you so long?" Jason asked her.

"Wha... What are you doing here?" Laura stuttered.

"Waiting for you " came his short reply.

"Why?"

"So we can go home "

"But the event is still ongoing" Laura was confused.

"Are you coming or not? " Jason asked her with one brow arched.

Laura was about to follow him when she remembered how he was flirting with Jane and stopped in her steps.

"You can go ahead without me". Laura said to him.

"Why "

"No reason" she replied stubbornly.

Jason walked back to her and whisper into her ears. "Are you sure about that?" He said seductively.

Laura felt an electric wave run through her body.

"I'm sure you don't want to disobey me" he added.

"What will you do?" Laura stood her ground. Then she felt Jason sniffed on her neck and she just went stiff wondering what he was up to. Before she knew what was happening a soft kiss landed on her lips. Laura closed her eyes to enjoy the moment. She returned the kiss pulling him closer when Jason suddenly pull away from her. Laura was disappointed, she wanted it to last longer. She was brought back to her senses when she heard Jason's voice.

"Do you want me to drag you out of here?" Jason said softly still resting head on her forehead.

Laura was shocked beyond words. "Is this guy playing with me? How can he be so crude?". Laura pushed him and walked away out of anger. Jason just follows behind her with a devious look.

"Where have you been? I looked for you everywhere". Jane shows fake concern when she saw Laura and Jason together.

"Why do you care" Laura just hiss and walked away from her.

"I think it's time to leave," Jason said to Jane before following behind Laura.

Jane caught up with them outside with the driver already waiting for them.

Jason was about to enter the car but stopped and looked at Jane when she was about to follow him inside.

"The company car is over there, the driver will take you home". Jason said to her. Jane smiled to herself thinking he was talking to Laura and followed him inside the car.

"Didn't I just tell you to take the company's car?". Jason yelled at her.

"I...I. Thought you.. were talking to her" she said pointing to Laura.

"Get out "

"Okey Sir". Jane hurriedly got out of the car but was surprised when she saw Laura enter the car and sat down beside Jason.

"What's going on? How can he tell me to get out of the car but let Laura ride with him?". That girl, what did she do?". Left with no choice, Jane stomped her foot on the ground before taking the company's car.
