Chapter 385 - How Come It's You?

She sluggishly stood up, carried her brown jackets hanging on her executive chair. She leaves after taking her handbag with her.

At the parking lot, Jasmine trying to open her car momentarily frozen when someone hugged her from behind. She got over her shock just like it came.

"How dare you hug me, you freaking...," Jasmine paused whatever she wanted to say when she turned around and got a glimpse of the one who embraced her.

"How come it's you? Why didn't you call to inform me that you would pick me up? Do you know how worried I was?" Jasmine asked sounding upset. Jackson embraced her in an instance.

"I am sorry. I shouldn't have switched off my phone. I know I was wrong not to have contacted you the entire day so please forgive me hmm," Jackson continued to hug her. He pats her hair to calm her down. Jackson embraced her until he felt that her emotions were stabilised.

They talked without entering the car.

"How are you? Have you eaten the entire day? Also, have you discovered who leaked the news about the project? I hope the company is not in trouble because the project was stolen by another company?" The worried Jasmine flooded him with several questions.

"I know you are damn worried about me but I am fine. The company isn't affected badly by the news," Jackson lied without batting an eyelid. If Jasmine didn't work in the business sector too then she would have gotten fooled by his lies.

She knows very well even the tiniest negative news or scandal could deal great damage to a once-solid company. The company she worked so hard to build almost suffered the same fate so how could she not know this.

"Really?" Jasmine asked despite knowing that he was lying so she won't worry about him.

Instead of replying, he smiled at her.

"Although only a few hours had passed it felt like a year. I am not exaggerating right now," Jasmine said. She took a closer look at her man. Merely staring at him she could tell that he was damn stressed.

"I know it's not exaggerated since I have missed you a lot. I wasn't myself the entire day because I didn't hear your voice," Jackson said as he pats her hair.

"Come let's go home. I will prepare some nutritious food for you," Jasmine said as she tried to pull him along with her. She was surprised when he didn't budge.

"I wish I could do that but I can't. Many of our employees are still in the office I need to get back in a few minutes...,"

"Didn't you say earlier that everything was ok? You are such a bad liar," Jasmine said as she raised her hand and caress his face.

"So how many minutes do I have right now?" Jasmine asked while staring into his eyes she loves so much.

"Fifteen minutes is all I can give...,"

"Although that isn't enough I am still happy that I got to see and talk to you," Jasmine said as she smiled at him.

"Let's have a nice chat inside the car with the fifteen minutes I have," Jasmine said as she rushed over to the driver's seat.

Jasmine and Jackson chatted and played inside the car for fifteen minutes. Jasmine's once happy expression fell drastically when the alarm she set rang.

"I can't believe I have to let you go," Jasmine said as she leaned on his shoulder and hug his left hand tightly.

"Miss Naughty, I will try my best to get this over with so I can come back home to you," Jackson stroked her hair affectionately. He also didn't want to leave her but he is left with no other choice right now.

"I love you so much, Jasmine. May the stars and moon bear witness to this...,"

"Why are you suddenly saying this. You are not planning to break up with me right?" Jasmine asked as she sat properly.

"Why would I do that when I don't have a death wish?" Jackson asked with a huge sense of humour. He playfully ruffled her well-styled hair.

"Hey...," Jackson kissed her before she could scold him. Jasmine instantly encircled her hands around his neck for a more passionate kiss. Jackson and Jasmine kissed passionately for seven minutes nonstop. When he pulled away, Jasmine was gasping for air. Jasmine stares into his burning eyes. How she wished he didn't have to leave her side.

"I love you so much that I can't find the perfect words that matched exactly how I feel for you, Mr Jackson Smith," Jasmine said while staring into her eyes. Hearing her say these words made him recall the days she had stalked him because of the contract.

He recalls always telling her to piss off or get out when what he wanted to say was 'embrace me or kiss me.' Those days were fun but also the most torturous part of his life.

"I feel the same way too," Jackson said as he stroked her face lovingly.

"I am sorry Miss Naughty but I can't stay for even a minute longer. I need to leave now," Jackson said as he turned to open the car but Jasmine quickly pulled him by the hand backwards.

"I know you can't use your phone so take my second phone so I can at least have the means to contact you. I am afraid I might have a heart attack if I don't hear from you the entire day," Jasmine said as she frantically searched for where she kept her other phone. She gave it to him after finding it.

"Call me when you reached the office so I won't be worried," Jasmine said as she pulled in and embrace him. She pulled away afterwards.

"Since I won't be able to drive you home, I have asked Henry and Rafael to follow you until you reach home. They will protect you from now onwards," Jackson said as he took one more last glance at her before he got out of the car. He watched her until her car pull out of the parking lounge.
