My Mr. Perfect, Imperfect [Perfect Series, Book 1]

Chapter 19: Sapphire Has Gotten Herself A Man

Watching how the machines were being produced in the black and white pictures wasn't so entertaining but Sapphire stared. Deeply and vacantly at the display. She hated herself so much, and Jade. She hasn't met his grandfather, but she hated him already. It was all because of him she had to skip her sweet sleep. Her precious rest time to watch one annoying discovery production.

'Only if it was a film featuring gabby.' Sapphire wished.

The rest of the night was quiet as she didn't blink a bit or dare to close her eyes. One thing she didn't want was to have Jade kiss her. Imagining this alone was unbearable....

After The Programme...

The guests stood up from their seats and started walking out of the Cinema. It was just 11:00 a.m by the time. Sapphire was feeling sleepy. Craving to reach home as soon as possible and hug her bed really tight. Sandra watched vividly as Sapphire staggered after Jade.

“She doesn't look familiar, right?” Sandra asked her husband.

“Yes, I don't recognize her.” He replied her.

Ace looked at Sapphire this time, just then, he noticed how ordinary she was looking.

'She isn't as curvy as most girls were.' He thought as his eyes scanned through her slim figure.

“We'll have to go and find out for ourselves, then.” Walter suggested as the Damien's family walked out of the building.

“Oh, CEO Jade!” A business person called.

“It's been a while.” Jade shake hands with the person as the camera operators take pictures of them.

Sapphire was in a corner, watching like a rabbit that wants to escape from its hole. She wouldn't want to get shot mistakenly.

After waving goodbye to a couple of guests, Jade was about to leave when a voice called him.

“It's been a while, nephew.” Walter started.

Jade watched the Damien's vacantly as they stood before him.

“Who's that young lady over there?” Sandra tittered. “She came with you, right?”

“She's someone I met in a business meeting, Aunt.” Jade replied to her politely.

“Work-related affairs? Is she from the hotel?” She asked interestedly. “Well, it doesn't seem like it.”

“Are you studying physiognomy nowadays?” Jade rolled his eyes at her and walked away without saying goodbye.

The Damien family looked at him with a disparaging smirk as he walked to meet Sapphire.

“That imprudent little brat!” Walter cursed.

Ace watched how both of them took weird stares at each other before walking away. Ace leered at Sapphire's tiredness. He didn't know who she is but for some reasons, he wanted to know.

'Jade won't be with a girl if there's nothing attached. Whether business related or not, Jade is unable to genuinely love a girl, no matter her position or beauty. He would leave her very soon.' Ace pondered as he followed his parents to the car park.

On the other hand, about to enter the car, Sapphire stopped Jade.

“We really need to have a talk!” Sapphire began.

“What is it again?” Jade quirked an eyebrow at her.

“Let's rewrite the contract.” She said.

“What?! Why now?” he raised a thick eyebrow at her.
