Chapter 104 - 104. Dead Meat.

1:06 PM. 

Jessie stepped out of Jason's office and Kevin was there to walk her to the elevator, as much as she hated the guy she was thankful he was there. Heaven knows she wouldn't have found her way out otherwise.

As they stepped out of the elevator onto the first floor she desperately looked for opportunities to get away from Kevin, not because of any special agenda but just the fact that she wanted to cause trouble. It was frustrating how little people were on the first floor, and how Kevin wasn't even blinking. And it didn't help that this was her first time in Jason's building. 

But if she learned anything from her countless attempts to escape fans she knew the bathroom was the first space of opportunity for something like that. "Kevin I need to use the bathroom can you point me to it?" She said sweetly.

"I'll take you there" he said. Jessie nodded ofcourse she expected him to take her there, arguing about it would only raise suspicion. The bathroom was behind a wall, separating male from female. She allowed him watch as she went into the female bathroom, but as soon as she entered she began to peep out for an opportunity he even blinks. Luckily for her he got a phone call and she swiftly ran into the male side. Thank goodness she was cross dressing at least the initial impression wouldn't be shock. She went into the stall and changed her clothing, as much as she wanted to wear what she did before it wouldn't be wise. And she wasn't that stupid. Still in heels, she opted for stilettos this time, and Kevin was right, Jeans and a shirt wouldn't raise suspicion. Agnes was a real help, she even managed to get her a wig, she was a godsend. She put on the brown, banged bob, with big sunglasses. Ditching every other thing into the trash except the sandals. As much as she would hate to deny it, she had grown attached to them. She stayed in the stall for another 20 minutes, when she was sure Kevin would have barged into the female toilet looking for her she fled. 

1:45 PM. 

She literally ran out of the building after giving the men relieving themselves a proper fright, she was laughing so hard she almost wet her pants. Perhaps she should have gone in there. She looked around after walking a little and saw a cafe she decided to enter. Oh how she missed the pinch that came with wearing heels, how you always had to wriggle your toes to find a comfortable position but never did. She missed the uncomfortability of fashion. She didn't bother put on her face mask, the glasses where big enough to cover half of her face. After she ordered her latte, she went to sit to wait for it. Looking out the window she spotted two men in black suits. Not sparing a moment to confirm weather or not they worked for Jason she dashed out of the cafe, and just kept running. If they found her now, it would all be for nothing.

1:58 PM 

Soon enough she found a crowd to blend into, it appeared there had been an accident, not wanting to sound heartless but thank goodness. She hoped no one was dead though. She stood amongst the crowd and watched the different expressions and reactions, despite that being a safe place she couldn't let her self stay. She had an eerie feeling eyes were on her. So she began to make her way out of there as quickly as she could. She walked quickly but her hurried steps broke into a run when she heard someone yell "Wait!" 

What scared her the most was that the voice sounded feminine not bothering to look back she began to sprint. Clutching on to her bag for her dear life she began to realise the irrationality of her actions, what if this was crazy fans? She shuddered when she thought about the last interaction with her fans in front of her house. Or Patricia's goons? From what she saw it was a man and a young girl chasing after her, but they didn't seem like the were doing it together. 

She looked around for the nearest building and ran into it, incidentally she ran into a spa. Again?! It didn't matter now, she dashed into on of the rooms and squatted down behind a couch. Clutching her knees to her chest and cursing Jason for not giving her another phone. What was she supposed to do know? In a matter of moments her pursuers would eventually find out where she was hiding, she was practically dead meat. Realising she couldn't stay in here anymore, and she couldn't go out, she sighted a landline sitting a few inches from hers. She didn't know if it would work, she had never taken time to memorize Jason's number before but she had seen it enough times to maybe at least know. She would try any ways, even if it didn't work she had to at least try.  She walked to the landline and punched in the numbers the first time didn't go through. The second didn't either. She was about to give up after the third try until she heard the door rattling. Getting more desperate her fingers fumbled as she tried a different combination, it was a long shot but she had to at least do something. 

"Hello?" The voice was calm and cold, sounding slightly annoyed so she knew she hit the bullseye. 

"Jason?" She almost cried out.

"Jessie? Jessie,  where are you?! Are you okay?"

He asked.

"No I'm not! Jason please help, someone was following me and it wasn't Kevin, I'm so ahhh!" She screamed when the person behind rammed into the door.

"Jessie! Where are you?!" Jason asked his voice full of trepidation. 

"I'm not sure, in a spa I think it called 'self-appreciation' it shouldn't be too far from your building." She said with so much fear.

"I'll be there immediately, please stay safe and don't so anything stupid. If you can don't move, stay hidden. I promise to come find you." He said, cutting off the call.

The rattling got louder and soon she heard a click. Her heart leapt to her throat as the door opened slowly. She stood lifeless as she waited to see who was behind the door. The suspense was killing her, she never felt so scared before. But nothing could have prepared her for who it was, as soon as the door opened fully she gasped.
