Give Me 15 Days

Chapter 9 : Harry Nicholls

"Loving someone who doesn't love you back is like hugging a cactus. The tighter you hold on, the more it hurts." — Unknown

~

Right after their coffee date, Jasmine tells Zach to drop her off somewhere which Zach says okay. 

But he isn't now when he finds out that she is going on her next 'date' with Harry Nicholls.

"Why must you go on a date with this guy." Zach emphasizes as he rolls his eyes. Feeling a bit jealous knowing that she is about to go out with the youngest Nicholls.

"Excuse me? Do you forget the term of our agreement? Besides, he is my boyfriend. So whatever I do is not your problem!" Jasmine slightly raises her voice to the boy.

"It is my problem. You are my fiance-

Zach couldn't finish his sentence when Jasmine stopped him.

"Stop with this fiancee idea of yours. We both know that I will never love you. We both agree to cancel the wedding if you can't make me fall in love with you and I am not in love with any part of your soul-

So stop being childish, Zach." Jasmine rolls her eyes and closes the door before she goes inside the car.

Zach has never feels so useless in his life. He always thought whatever he did was right, when it turns out, it was wrong all along.

Zach grips the wheel tightly until his knuckles almost turn white. The feeling of frustration and jealousy is slowly getting to him.

Who made this 15 days agreement if it isn't you so just suck it up, Zach. He thought.

He decides to go to the office after his assistant, Anne texted him about his meeting with all the Head of the Department later today.

"Baby, you love me right?" Jasmine nods her head with a smile. Of course, she does, Harry is everything for her.

"Of course baby, why?" Jasmine asks the boy. 

Why with the sudden question, she thought. Then, she sees how relieved Harry looks after she says that.

"Nothing, I just thought you fell in love with that stupid nerd." Harry holds the brunette's hand.

Nerd, I haven't called him nerd today, yet when I heard Harry say, it doesn't feel right. She thought but quickly shook it off.

"No way, I won't fall in love with that boy. He is nothing unlike you. It's just a matter of time until he realizes he can't make me fall in love with him and we can finally be together." Jasmine proudly says. 

Though, it hurts her to say that and she doesn't know why.

It would be a lie if she says she didn't like the way Zach holds her hand, calling her nicknames, how Zach made the orphan kids happy, how-

"Baby, what are you looking at? There is no one over there." Jasmine broke from her thought. 

Why do you think about someone else when your boyfriend is on the other side of the table, she mumbles.

"Nothing, I'm just happy I get to spend time with you. Let's go shopping for your new house." Jasmine stands up from the chair and happily holds her hand out for Harry before they go shopping.

Harry smirks, knowing Jasmine still loves her and not that loser. He hates the Ferdinand after his company went bankrupt when Ferdinand Empire decided to sue them for fraud. 

His parent's company went bankrupt and blacklisted, but Harry was glad that his grandparents agreed to let them move to their place and covered all their expenses.

Harry looks at the girl and smiles.

How lucky is he to find a girl so easy to fool?

"Before I adjourn the meeting, I just want to say that I have reviewed all of the paperwork, and some of it has been emailed back to you by Anne. I want you to review it again before the meeting with the Anchors and Co. This collaboration between them is important for the company. Don't mess it up." With that, the meeting is adjourned. Zach goes to his room and falls straight to his chair.

He sighs. Today's meeting goes well thankfully. He managed to review all of it despite having a headache. Tomorrow, the company will have an interview with the new applicant for the first intake and it will be a busy day.

He then remembers about the brunette and her lover. He successfully pushes it aside to focus his work despite the amount of worry he has for the girl is unexplainable.

He feels like he needs to tell the brunette as soon as possible before something happens.

He decides to drop by tomorrow at the Sullivan's before the interview started and hopes that Day 3 will go as smooth as possible.

He remembers the phone call he received when they were on a coffee date.

'How many girls he slept with this month?'

'More than anyone should have ever done'

'Are you sure that is him?'

'Yes, It is 100% Harry Nicholls'
