~ Jasper ~
Finishing my phone call with Mike roberts when a knock at my door stopped me from angering.
" come in?" I said leaning back into my chair
Lilly came walking in her face red from crying.
I immediately stood and walked over to her small frame hugging her tightly " Lilly what's wrong? Sit please" I quickly dialled coralines number " English tea and a coffee please to my office"
I sat back at my chair and gestured for Lilly to tell me what's wrong.
" Jasper I miss Lauren so very much. Lexi has learned the ropes. I'm going to use your gift to london next week. She needs me"
A small smile crept onto my face " of course lilly go for as long as you need. You deserve it"
Inside I was screaming, it would mean contact with lexi and I didn't want that I knew my feelings were there, But Lilly was like a mother to me and I loved her dearly like she was my mom anyway so it was Important for her to see her daughter.
Coraline rushed in with our drinks " anything else sir?"
" that will be all. Thank you coraline"
I might live a solitary life from outsiders but I would never be rude to my staff, I believe in manners. Lexi would be an exception I need to be short with her I don't want any attention to come between us, truth be told I was extremely attracted to her.
As coraline left I seen lexi stood at the door, I tensed in my chair " yes lexi?"
She hesitated for a moment before gaining her composure " sir. Your sister keeps emailing. Your ignoring her about the annual anniversary ball or something"
Ahh yes my annoying little sister, the death of our parents is approaching she organises a yearly ball with the most riches families attending, she always tries to set me up with girls, this year it's her friend from around here who I know I'll have zero interest in.
I roll my eyes " ok I'll ring her"
Lexi looked between me and lilly, and nodded rushing off.
" don't need to be so short with her Jasper"
I shook my head " I'm going to ring charlotte"
Phone call;
Jasper: charlotte what now?
Charlotte: oh come on Jasper it's the ball next week and you keep ignoring me
Jasper: yes you know I hate these things. Is it masquerade?
Charlotte: yes liked you asked.
Jasper: very well I'll be there then. See you there. Bye sis
End of call.
" there you see ?"
Lilly nodded " very good. I'm leaving for london in two days" Lilly said before getting up
And leaving the room.
Now I can let me anger out, the way Mike roberts spoken about lexi pissed me off. He wants her to model for him naked, he had the nerve to say how sexy she would like with her clothes off, over my dead body.
