Chapter 19: I Thought You're Dead?
I just wore a white dress and paired it with white sandals. It's simple yet Diego brought it for me.
"I have to go now, take good care, okay? When I'm done I'll call you" I kissed David and bid goodbye to them. They are also preparing but I have to hurry because I'm getting late. I forgot to set an alarm clock since I slept late at night.
I used my car and drove to the meeting area. I looked at the time, and I was three minutes late. The client is waiting for me now.
It's not hard to find the place since I already knew the place around this city.
I park my car outside the big house though I'm not really familiar with who is waiting for me inside.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
A maid saw me and let me in.
"I'm looking for Ms Foster. Is she here? I have an appointment with her," I said, and she smiled at me and excused herself to call her.
I just sat on the couch while waiting for him, while the other maids offered me juice.
"Ms. Stewart," I heard a woman's voice at my back. I gave my best smile and turned around to look at her but everything suddenly changed.
Stacy? What? I-I don't understand. Even she was surprised to see me, and she seemed like she saw a ghost in front of me.
"Jasmine?!" She covered her mouth and couldn't believe that I was now in front of him. I fixed my posture. Her face suddenly got mad.
"What are you doing here?! I thought you were dead?!" She exclaimed in this belief but I still looked at him like I didn't know her. I didn't come here to discuss the past. I'm here for business.
"I'm sorry, I'm here for business and there's nothing to discuss about what happened in the past. "I said, trying to control myself.
An image flashed in my mind when he pushed me that night, and I almost lost my baby. I still didn't forgive her for what he did but I also know that she was also surprised and didn't know about my relationship with that man.
"Why are you here? Are you trying to ruin Travis and me?" She furrowed her eyebrows. I sigh, and I smile at her.
"Past is past, Mrs. White, don't worry, I'm not here to make trouble. Mr. Jenkins is my business partner, and I was the one who is in charge of your wedding plan" I cleared my intention.
She still couldn't process everything.
"But if you decide to stop this business meeting, then I have no choice. I'll just call Diego and tell him that it was cancelled, "I said, and I was about to turn around when she stopped me.
"Wait! I already told him and discussed everything with him. I just can't pull everything and start a new one. Just- All you have to do is your job Jasmine. And don't you ever dare try to make things worse or else I will make your life a living hell." She said it while walking towards me.
Did she think that I am the old Jasmine who can't defend herself? Well, she's wrong. I will never let them hurt me again.
Besides, it's better that we should end this business so I would not be able to see them again.
"Threaten me all you want, but that won't scare me. Let's just be professional, Mrs. White. I have my words." I also walked closer to him while saying those words. Then I gave her my sweet smile.
"So shall we?" I sat without her telling me. Well, I'm her guest, and she should treat me well.
"Yana, give us something to eat", he called one of the maids, and she immediately did what she said.
"About the design of the wedding, I made some changes. "I start while she's still looking at me. I just ignored her and gave her the papers that I prepared last night.
"I think the orange colour doesn't suit the Theme. "I even added and she started to check them one by one.
"Are you telling me that I have a bad taste?" She seemed irritated because of what I said.
It came out with your own mouth Stacy.
"Actually ma'am, I'm telling you what is the best. I've been a business planner for years, and everyone trusts me." I said without looking at her.
"
Here, take this,
Mrs. White. I think
elin
purple is more attractive than the orange one. I've made an example design; just tell me if you like it not," I said and waited for her response. I knew she should choose the purple one.
He glanced at me and looked at the design. She raised her eyebrow.
"Fine, since you said that it will make it more appealing." She said, handing me back the papers.
"Diego said that you haven't chosen your wedding dress. Here are the files of wedding dresses that I could offer you. These dresses are unique; rich people only afford this kind of dress," I said while she looked at
them one by one.
I looked at her reaction, and I could see that she agreed.
She's also the victim here and I couldn't blame her if she hated me. I was just wondering why, for all of those years, they haven't married.
But that's not my business here. I should focus on work and not those nonsense things.
"Do you have something more expensive than these?" he said, and I was expecting her to say that, that's why I'd prepared another.
"All the wedding gowns are
available, but these are bigger in person. If you want, I could
personally introduce those gowns to you. Only high people are allowed, and I know you can afford those," I said while she was looking at the pictures. I saw that she was surprised with the designs and size of the gowns.
"Set the date," she said and I just nodded. We talk about the overall design of their wedding and most of my suggestions are good.
I looked at the time and got ready to leave.
"I'll just call you about the day and time" I continued and turned around. But before I could leave I saw someone I didn't expect to see that day. "Jasmine?"
