Three Days!!!
"You are right about that. Jasmine is a lady no man or woman will want to mess around with. Anyone who dares to offend her is sure to suffer and we are no exceptions. I am certain she will make all of us pay when she learns about your seducing plans," Steve said. The mere thought of what Jasmine will do to them when she discovers the truth made him shiver.
"You both are the ones that are gonna suffer not me because I am sure by that time I would have made her fall madly in love with me," Jackson said beaming.
"At least get over with being repeatedly seduced by her because I am certain you might end up dead before that time reaches if you don't get that problem fixed," Jeff blurted out without thinking. When he realised the nonsense he has just spew, he stood up from his seat and run towards the entrance of Jackson's office.
"Bye, I will see you at the airport tomorrow," Jeff who just saw Jackson stood up said before he hurried out of the office.
"Steve, keep him in check or I am really gonna murder if he continues jinxing I and Jasmine's relationship," Jackson said in a serious tone.
"Don't take what he said to heart, I am certain he was only trying to cheer you up but he ended up ruining it with the way he said it," Steve said in Jeff's defence.
"Don't worry, Jack, we are gonna help you make progress with your mission on this trip," Steve assured when the angry Jackson did not utter a word.
In J&S Innovation Jasmine wearing a short blue sleeveless gown raised her gaze from what she was doing when Catherine entered her office.
"Boss, I just got the news that Mr Jackson is going for a trip tomorrow so I don't think you will get to meet him today or tomorrow," Catherine relayed the news to Jasmine.
"What? For how long will his trip last?" Jasmine asked subconsciously standing up from her executive chair. She quickly composed herself when she saw that she has overreacted.
"Three days minimum...,"
"Three days!" Jasmine remarked in shock. She could not mask her expression of shock. She did not need to say a word for Catherine to know why she was acting that way.
"Yes, boss don't worry I will help you to officially book an appointment with him after he is back on the trip. I am certain he won't be able to reject your request when he knows that you are the same lady he has been meeting over the past one week plus," Catherine tried to assure her boss that everything will be fine.
"I can't afford to stay here and idly wait for him to come back, we are running out of time," Jasmine said running her fingers through her well-parted hair.
"And did you say he will not be able to reject my request if I reveal my real identity to him?" Jasmine asked as she walks to the couch. She sat down on the couch with her legs crossed.
"Don't you know that he will immediately know why I have been stalking him if I reveal my identity to him? He will know that this famous great seducer was trying to seduce him. And I am certain he won't give me the contract after he learns the truth," Jasmine said. Her stern expression was one befitting of the big boss that she is.
"Boss what can we do other than to wait? We don't have another choice other than that...,"
"And who says we don't have a choice?" Jasmine said grinning wickedly.
"What do you mean, boss?" Catherine asked curiously. From the look on her boss face, she could tell that her boss was up to something mischievous again.
"We will go on the trip too," Jasmine said smiling broadly.
"What?" Catherine remarked in shock. She could not believe that her boss would come up with such a crazy idea.
"You want to leave the company and go on a trip?" Catherine asked staring at her boss. At that moment her boss and best friend felt like a stranger to her.
Is this the best friend I have known for so long or is someone pretending to be her?
Catherine thought staring at her boss strangely.
My best friend in the past would never go this far in seducing a man so why would she act differently with this particular guy? Anyways no man has ever treated her this way I guess maybe this is why she is so obsessed with melting this Ice Prince.
Catherine thought her gaze still focused on her boss.
"Cat, don't give me that look. I am not going there solely to seduce him but for business," Jasmine said as she rested her back against the couch.
"Business? But you don't have any business trip in Maldives Island so what business are you talking about?" Catherine asked as she stares at Jasmine for answers.
"I don't have business there at the moment but we are gonna create one right now," Jasmine said smiling.
