Chapter 15: Did you get the wrong Address?

" Did you have to create such a drama? Just leave everything to me " Andrea said as they went into the party.

" I can't believe we missed the premiere, all thanks to you Andrea, " Jasmine pouted sadly.

" I know, but it also took you ages to prepare, moreover you should be thankful that we were able to meet the after party " Andrea rolled her eyes.

Immediately, Jacob Jones spotted them he briskly walked over with a smile " Andrea, finally you are here "

" We were standing outside for an hour thanks to your security guard who called us beggars, " Jasmine said furiously.

Andrea nudged her gently " don't listen to my cousin, it wasn't up to an hour at least everything got clarified " she returned a smile while Jasmine crossed her arm over her chest.

Jacob frowned " You mean he said that? " He asked furiously and Jasmine nodded.

" I guess have been too nice lately, I will be right back " Jacob Jones marched away.

Andrea turned back to Jasmine " you are so…… " she couldn't help but chuckle.

" I will leave the other chick to you, I know you got this. Anyways let me go get something to drink " she winked at her before walking away.

Just then a waiter walked to her direction with a tray filled with all kinds of drinks, she stopped him right away and took a random drink from the tray. She drank while she looked around the place. It was kind of a reserved party for her.

A man in a black suit walked over to her side and stood close to her with a glass of wine in his hand. Jasmine turned to his direction when she noticed a figure standing next to her. She scrutinised him carefully and from her reckoning he should be in his early thirties, she didn't mind because he also looked kind of decent to her.

" Hi beauty, I'm director Jake " he introduced himself, extending his hands towards her.

"Oh, Hi I'm Jasmine " she smiled politely.

He chuckled softly in his deep voice as he could see the shy look on her face " let's talk somewhere more private " he smirked.

Jasmine nodded without second thoughts, he took her to the upper floor where there were least people around. Jasmine sipped the drink with her gaze lowered to the ground. This would be her first time interacting with a person from an influential background.

Director Jake smirked sinisterly and suddenly closed the little space between them, Jasmine's heart began to accelerate faster, even the air around them was giving a suggestive ambience. As a quick-witted girl she could clearly see through director Jake's intentions.

She swiftly rose to her feets " thanks for the drink Mr Jake, I have to go now " she said a bit nervously as she placed a lock of her hair behind her ear.

Without waiting for his reply, she turned around to leave but he suddenly got hold of her hand, he also got up and before she could process the situation he pulled her closer to his chest. He brought his lips nearer to her ear and she could feel the hotness of his breath " don't you want to be my girl? Come on I will treat you right " he said as he slowly trailed his hands to her waist.

Jasmine gasped frighteningly and quickly tried to break herself free from him.

AT THE DOWN FLOOR

Sean walked hurriedly with Assistant Drew next to him as they stride into the party with large footsteps.

" Slow down Drew, we already missed the premiere. What's there to rush again " Sean said as he chuckled softly.

" But Boss, you know what's going to happen tomorrow, the media will begin to say things about you, " Drew explained.

Sean smirked " if they don't publish things like this, how do you expect them to make a living? As long as the big news is about the business tycoon Sean Wilson then it will sell more furthermore this is bound to happen I don't mind " he said nonchalantly.

Drew shook his head " his boss will always be a narcissist and will never see the clearer picture of things " he thought inwardly.

Immediately they went through the door, they found Jacob Jones on his way out.

Sean smiled " what a nice party Mr Jones. I was so busy taking care of my looks that I almost forgot about your invitation to your cartoon " he said nonchalantly as he found himself a seat.

Jacob Jones was already used to his glib tongue, he squeezed a smile " whoa, that must be a whole lot of work, it's a good thing though, your face has started to crease you should add more effort next time or soon you might….. by the way it's not a cartoon Mr Wilson it's a movie premiere though I don't blame you. You have know ideas about these things except selling jewellery right? "

Sean clenched his jaw with his fist tightened beside him, his lips parted slightly and he suddenly turned his head away.

Jacob Jones chuckled, he knew he had won this round, " Enjoy the Party, Mr Wilson " he said before walking away.

Immediately Jacob's figure disappeared, Sean turned to Assistant Drew `` what did he mean? Is it true I have wrinkles on my face? What did he mean by if I don't put effort my face will what? " '' He asked with a look of curiosity.

Assistant Drew stared at him as Sean bombard him with questions regarding all Jacob Jones had said earlier.

" Drew, if you don't give me a honest reply right now, you won't be receiving any salary till your last breath " he threatened with a stern expression.

Drew almost fainted, he gulped down his saliva " what! Don't listen to Mr Jones, he's only kidding with you. I mean there's no one as outstanding as you are, they will always be behind you, always and always " Drew said with a weird laughter.

Sean Wilson's thin lips curled up " I know, you don't have to always remind me. Tell me what you want? You don't have to always beat around the bush " he said, crossing his legs.

The corners of Drew's lips twitched slightly " what is he saying? Wasn't he the one who asked for a reply? If I had said Mr Jones was right he would have skinned me alive '' he thought to himself.

Drew gave a lopsided grin " I don't need anything boss, I'm only telling the truth like you asked me to " he gave him a thumbs up.

Sean nodded vigorously " you are so sensible Drew, I know you don't tell lies " he smiled.

Jacob Jones walked back to Andrea who's gaze was looking around. " You are back, hope you didn't scold him too much ” she asked.

" No I just fired him, he's gone already, " Jacob Jones said nonchalantly sitting next to her.

" You did what? It was just a small misunderstanding and he was only doing his job so everything will go well tonight " Andrea said in a calm tone.

Jacob Jones rubbed his head ” He shouldn't have said that to you, he wasn't blind enough not to see the fact that you came together with my guards that's just an act of stupidity ”

” Fine you are the boss, who am I to speak " Andrea muttered.

" Where is your cousin? ” Jacob Jones quickly changed the discussion.

" Oh Jasmine, she told me she wants to go look around, she's been away for awhile now. Have you seen her ? ” she asked.

Jacob shook his head " no I haven't. Maybe she went to the rooftop. The view over there is beautiful, she must have been carried away " he said.

" Okay I will go check on her " Andrea was about to stand up but he suddenly stopped her.

" I'll go check, you wait here " he smiled and she nodded.

She kept looking around until her gaze met Sean's who was coming over to her direction.

" Oh shit " she murmured as she retracted her gaze away.

" Look who we have here Ms. Andrea Graham, " he said with a mischievous smile.

Andrea raised her head to look at him " how may I help you Mr Wilson ” she asked casually.

" So what are you doing here? Did you get the wrong Address? " He asked as he sipped his wine.

Andrea scrunched up her face, she didn't understand a thing he was referring to " what do you mean? " she asked.

" This is a movie premiere, there's nothing interesting to steal here, don't you think so? Or do you perhaps love the curtains " he chuckled.

Andrea carved a brow at him " look Mr Wilson I wasn't the one who took your masterpiece jewellery, I might be a new worker at your place but have been doing my job diligently and everyone can testify to that. You fired me from your company and it's fine but I won't tolerate your insults as I'm no longer under you " she turned her face away.

Sean Wilson pressed his lips together staring at her, just then Jacob Jones came back " I couldn't find her there "

Andrea got up " then where did she go? I think something isn't right Jasmine should have been back by now " she said as a deep line appeared on her forehead.

" Come let's go check " Jacob Jones held onto her hand and they both left, completely neglecting Sean's existence.
