Chapter 38: Chapter 38 He Came To Snatch You From Me!!

Waking up the next morning, Jasmine rubbed her eyes, trying to adjust them to the bright contrast of the room.

A yawn escaped her lips as she stretched her arms, finally opening her eyes. She blinked for a while before turning her head to the side.

Not surprised, Kingsley was gone.

Jasmine didn’t dwell on that, she grumbled before getting off the bed, she went into her bathroom for a quick mouthwash and also wash her face.

Staring at herself in the mirror, she could feel her mood going off at the thought of going to the office today.

After work, she’ll have to go over to the grand opening launch by J Tim since it will be hosted in the evening.

Another tired sigh left her mouth,her shoulder slumped.

The vibration of her phone made her rush out of the bathroom, thinking it was Nicole who had plans for them.

Last night, she didn’t forget to text Nicole and then, she was informed that they should make plans for the weekend.

Grabbing her phone, her lips twisted a little when she saw that it was Lorraine. His issue has completely slipped out of her mind and she forgot to also address it with Kingsley.

"Hey, I’m sorry.." She began but Lorraine cut in on her words.

"Thank you for putting in words for me, I got an email this morning and your husband is letting me stay for a few more weeks. By then, I’ll be done with work here and return to California."Lorraine sounded elated, making Jasmine pause a little.

"Oh..that’s..." She inclined her head before letting out an awkward laugh. "...Great." She finished her statement.

She could imagine Lorraine grinning face with his glasses resting between his nose bridge. Looking handsome.

"Sorry for calling this early, I just got the mail so I was a little too relieved." Lorraine giggled.

Jasmine sighed. "So are you going to clock in today??"

Lorraine remained silent for a while, maybe contemplating what to do. " I will come to work, but not going to come anywhere near you for my safety. Don’t want your overprotective and jealous husband’s wrath again, I still haven’t healed from the wounds yet." He scoffed."Don’t want more wounds."

Jasmine pursed her lips, feeling helpless. It was only a contract marriage but Kingsley was already driving off male friends. It’s kinda too insane. "Okay then." She relented, not wanting to persuade him.

She should be mad at him anyway. For ditching her.. even though they have never talked about what really happened that time.

After the conversation, they ended the call and Jasmine went downstairs. She walked past Kingsley’s bedroom, wondering if he was in.

Not bothering to stop by, she directly went down to grab drinking water. But when she reached the stairs, she saw him, Raymond, and another unfamiliar man sitting in the living room.

Kingsley was sitting close to the man who looked like a doctor, a syringe was attached to Kingsley’s arm, and the doctor was injecting him while Raymond stood a few feet away from them.

Kingsley raised his eyes from the syringe and they immediately locked with Jasmine’s. Jasmine sucked in a deep breath when he looked at her.

A small smile tucked at the side of Kingsley’s lip when he saw her, his mind went to last night...one of the best nights he had. He took his time to discuss it with his doctor about it and their conclusion on the matter really pleased him but might rile Jasmine up.

Even so, he would wait for the perfect moment to tell her about it. Maybe not now.

Jasmine climbed down the stairs and the other men noticed her, they immediately greeted and she smiled back at them before greeting too.

"Hello, Mrs Elm. I’m Doctor Park, Mr Elm’s doctor. I’m sure he told you about your appointments with me." Doctor Park said with a broad smile on his face.

Jasmine swallowed hard before nodding, she had always wanted to avoid this but it seemed impossible now. "Yes, I was informed."

Kingsley remained silent while holding onto the bandage on his arm. He was wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt and black pants. His long hair fell on his face, while he stared at Jasmine.

"Your first appointment is tomorrow morning by 10 Am, I hope to see you." The doctor informed her and Jasmine hummed, looking rather pained.

Kingsley shook his head before telling her. "I made breakfast, go get dressed for work while I set the table."

"No, I’ll help with that." Jasmine offered and Kingsley stood up from the couch he was sitting on.

"Have a great day." Kingsley dismissed Doctor Park who nodded before arranging his work bag and left.

Raymond quickly informed."We need to clock in by 11 Am for some work. J Tim promised to have the dress sent home by 7 P.m." After saying his piece, he also left.

Jasmine turned to look at Kingsley,

" Are you feeling well now?"

Kingsley placed both hands into his pants pocket while answering."Yes. I am well."

"Can you attend the ceremony of J Tim’s brand tonight??"

"I might. Still considering, why?" He leaned closer. "You want me there?" His eyes shone while staring deeply at the woman before him.

Jasmine took a step away from him, a little flushed due to the proximity. "I heard Jack will be coming so I want you there, I just want to avoid the case of last time in that restaurant." Saying that, she bit her lower lip, thinking about how pathetic she was then.

Kingsley’s eyes darkened a little bit, he had thought for a while that she genuinely wanted him there...he should have known better that his wife was schematic and always wanted to do something sinister. "Okay then. J Tim will bring our dresses later today."

Jasmine nodded, before turning around and scurried into the kitchen. Kingsley strolled into the dining area and began to set up the table.

Jasmine came out of the kitchen minutes later with a bottle of water she was drinking water from, she watched him do the setup. "You hurt Lorraine." She muttered to his hearing.

Kingsley didn’t stop arranging the plates on the table as he said nonchalantly. "Yes, I did." He dropped the last plate on the table.

"Why’d you do that??" Jasmine growled at him, dropping the bottle of water on the table.

Kingsley paused. "Did you know your father made him come back to get you from me?"

Jasmine remained silent, of course, she knew about that. Was that enough reason to harm Lorraine?

Raising a brow at Jasmine, he muttered,anger underlying in his words. "From your silence, it seems you know all about that." He dropped the last spoon close to his plate and said. "No use explaining then."

Jasmine could tell he was pissed off, she watched him sit on the chair with a tight face.

"Kingsley.." Jasmine called out but he cut her words quickly.

"End of topic. Sit and eat." He said, rather coldly. His head was lowered as he focused on his food.

Jasmine pressed her thin lips together, feeling the chills of his voice making goosebumps form on her neck. Without any more words, she dragged out a chair and sat silently and obediently.

Breakfast was rather awkward for Jasmine as nobody said a word. Kingsley ate his food with a blank face, he seemed rather comfortable eating in silence.

Without eating much, Kingsley got off and left her behind. Jasmine looked up from her food, her eyes trailing after him.

Now, she could tell he was angry. Jasmine sighed before continuing to eat. After eating, she went to do the dishes. Done with that, she went upstairs to her room to get dressed for work.

Jasmine took a shower and quickly dressed up in black pants and white blouse and a matching black coat. She wore heels to match.

Meanwhile, Kingsley sat on the couch in his bedroom, his eyes were hidden because of the hair that fell on his face.

From where he sat, he heard Jasmine’s door click shut as she locked it followed by Her clicking of heels as she left, heading to work.

He sat there with disdain on his face, he was upset about Jasmine’s nonchalant attitude towards that eyeglass man who wanted to snatch her away from him. Or...does she want to leave him too??

Jasmine, on the other hand, exited the house and walked towards the rows of sparkling cars. She settled for the black Sports car, she dumped her bag on the other seat in the front before igniting the car.

Without delay, she drove out of the compound and headed straight to Trevor’s group. The drive was silent, her mind reeling from what happened during breakfast. Kingsley was upset with her and she wondered if he would still agree to follow her to the party in the evening.

A sigh escaped her lips, and soon she got to the company and drove into the garage. She found a space and parked her car, almost immediately,another car parked near hers.

Not taking note of the car, Jasmine got out of her car, fiddling with her bag, not realizing the person walking behind her.

"Long time, no gist." His voice made Jasmine pause in her actions and her movements. Her eyes widened a little as her throat ran dry.

A chill ran down her spine when the man came closer to her back, leaned near her shoulder and whispered. "How have you missed me, little ex-fiancée?"
