Chapter 16 - Be Patient?

"Hahaha... I thought he would keep on acting cold. This is much fun. It is more interesting than I had thought," Jasmine said laughing delightfully. Seeing her laugh so beautifully everyone could not help but wonder what is so amusing to the She-devil.

While Jasmine was having the fun of her life she did not know that her date was patiently waiting for her in room 104. After so many minutes of waiting he ran out of patience. Out of fury, he called his mum to ask what was the problem.

"Mother, I thought you said she would definitely come so why hasn't she arrived even after so many minutes has passed? Is she playing games with me or what?" The guy wearing a gradient suit asked pacing about the spacious room.

"Calm down, her mum assured me that she was on her way when she called earlier. I am sure she is caught up in traffic so be a little more patient," the elderly woman said in a meek tone.

"Be patient? For how long should I continue being patient? She has the nerves to stand me up after her mum assured you that she was gonna come. Who the hell does she think she is to do this to us?" The guy asked his frown deepening more.

"The Avans are not those to be taken trivially so keep calm. Her parents trying to get you both married is a huge blessing to us and our business so get your head straight because whether or not the marriage happens they have nothing to lose but we do. Do you understand what I mean?" The elderly woman said over the phone. The moment Mike heard that it was the Avans daughter he had a blind date withh, his temper took 180 degrees turn. He felt like his entire system was poured with icy water.

"By Avans do you mean Miss Jasmine?" Mike asked nervously. He could feel his heart beating rapidly in excitement.

"Mr and Mrs Avans only have two daughters and the first daughter got married almost a year ago so who else would I be talking about if not the renowned Jasmine?" Mrs Williams said. She smiled at the other end when she realised that her son's temper has cooled down.

"Mother, why didn't you say so when you called to inform me about the blind dates? All my thoughts were that you picked some boring lady for me not knowing that the famous Jasmine was my date," the guy said as he examined his clothes. Although since he came back about a year ago from handling his family's business overseas he hasn't met her, he has heard so many things about her. He has overheard men who have fallen victims in her hands call her the great seducer. When he tried to get more information from them and they refused to utter a word to hide their shame, he had ordered his men to do an investigation on her. From their reports, he got to understand what the men meant by calling her the great seducer.

There is no man she sets her mind on to seduce that she doesn't seduce. It only took her one meeting to subdue her targets. Anyone who proves stubborn does not last over their third meeting that is why men who became her preys gave her the title the great seducer. When he heard these stories about her he has become so intrigued by her but because of how workaholic the young lady is he hasn't been privileged to meet her and now that he knows that she is his date, he can't help but get nervous.

"Now that you know, don't forget to comport yourself. Don't give her the opportunity to reject you," Mrs Williams said before she disconnected the call.

"So I will get to meet her today, this is great!" Mike exclaimed happily as he rearranged his clothes and sat back down on the white couch.

Back in the restaurant Jasmine sat there patiently waiting for Jackson to come back from the restroom. While waiting, an idea pops into her head. She smiled evilly as she brought out her phone from her white handbag. She typed something on the phone. After she was done she dropped her phone back in her handbag.

"Was it that bad that he had to take such a long time in the restroom?" Jasmine who has a meeting in the next fifteen minutes mumbled after checking her wristwatch. She turned to stare in the direction he took.

Or maybe I should check on him. I will not have to hold back with my teases since they won't be so many prying eyes.

Jasmine thought as she stood up and turned to head towards the direction of the bathroom. Immediately she raised her gaze she saw him approaching her.

"Wow! The god of mercy must be on his side today. He has saved him from my clutches," Jasmine murmured as she sat back down.

"You can use the table now all you want because I am leaving for another appointment," Jackson said when he reached his table, he turned and walk back to the counter almost immediately.

Seeing how icy his expression has turned back, I guess that means he has recovered from my first torture. Now it is time for my second torture.

Jasmine said smirking devilishly as she stood up and head out of the restaurant. After he paid his bills he turned back to stare in the direction she was sitting earlier, he heaved a sigh of relief when he realised that she was gone.

What he did not know was that the demoness was eagerly waiting for him outside.
