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

Chapter 65: Jade and Chloe, To Wed🥺

"I felt that Gabriel's concept went well with ours, so the response has been good." Ace muttered, calmly.

"Thank you." Sapphire smiled. "You need to thank him well." She told Gabby.

"Thanks a lot, sir." Gabby bowed in appreciation.

"But, um... Is it that you're having an event here next week to?" Sapphire questioned.

"Oh, we already have someone for the main mall, but our Malls in Los Angeles, San Diego and Dapa Valley should be available."

"Thank you so much, sir!" Both of them chorused. Sapphire was almost jumping out of her shoes, knowing that Gabriel would be sponsored by such a big group to perform in such prominent places.

Meanwhile, getting back to the office, Ace noticed that Mr. Walter and Mr. Charles had a meeting. They kept it secret from everyone as Ace was curious to know. After his dad accompanied Mr. Charles out, he went to confront him on what they were discussing in private.

"So, you're seeing Mr. Charles more often now? What's your business with him, dad?" Ace started with his grey eyes filled with curiosity.

"Well, that old man has a lot of greed and time, so there's a lot to it. As you can see, I'm in the middle of a very serious business. What you have to do is to learn. Learn from me, son. Now, get back to work." Mr. Walter gently tapped his son on his shoulder before leaving.

Ace couldn't help but to stare at his dad, Mouth-opened. Something is definitely fishy with the way he handles their family business. As it is, everything blue bird belongs to Mr. Stephen, Alejandro. He and his dad are just opportune to work just for family benefits. Ace didn't bother to question his dad anymore. He just hope to fine a way, if possible. A way out of his father's greed for money. A way of good money that leads to success.

At Night

It was ghost-dark, Sapphire walked down the silent street. She was on her way home... Lost in thoughts as she walked. Just then, she noticed a flashy car packed up by the corner of the road. It was Jade's but she wasn't in the mood for him at all. She's always not in the mood, especially now when all she wants is to avoid him. Just for the benefit of it.

Angered like an hungry dog, Jade climbed out of his car and banged the door close, furiously.

"Where have you been?" His bossy voice sounded like an echo from the darkness.

Jade's demanding voice stopped her, midway as she turned to him.

"Gabby's Concert." She murmured like a shy child.

"He's signed to an agency already! So, why are you doing this?! Don't tell me you don't want to see me again?!" He fired at her.

Sapphire looked away immediately,

"Well, it's because I'm the president of his fanclub." She looked around, feeling so guilty, making it look as if she was answering with her nose. "That's all for today, good bye!" She turned around without looking back.

She didn't even want to take another glance at him. Sapphire just wanted to end it all. Quietly end it all if possible but Jade rushed after her.

She ran to her door and swiped her finger immediately. The door opens and she jambed it. Jade tried to think about her attitude but he couldn't help but to laugh.
"Why are you running, Sapphire. Do I have to remind you that we're dating?!"

She folded her arms facing the door while Jade knock the door abruptly.

"What do you want?!" She laughed at how he knocked. She couldn't imagine the curiosity on his face, already.
