My Father's Boss

Chapter 2 Tonight

Jasmine ignored the cries of the bitter young man behind her as she ran over to her father's desk, expecting him to be gathering his things, just as the boy had told her, but instead she found no one

All around her father's familiar desk, were pictures of her and her father smiling, embracing eachother. They were happy, in each photo. As she looked around, she realized her father hadn't packed anything at all...maybe they still hadn't told him?

"Stone, what the hell is going on? Who is causing such a scene?" Jasmine heard an unfamiliar voice

She slowly turned around and looked up at her father's new boss

He was the most attractive human being she had ever seen, something told her it wast the first time she had seen him. The man was tall, with bulging arms, that fit snug against a black and white suit. His hair was pulled back in a neat man bun. Jasmine could tell that his hair was dark brown. He also had a dark beard, the same color of his hair. His eyes, the color of the Caribbean Sea. This man...this Greek god, was the most perfect man, Jasmine Bandoni, had ever laid eyes on. But no, she couldn't have already met him. There was no possible way that she had met him before, and not remember him now

"Who are you and why are you making so much noise?" He stomped over to the girl, who was much smaller than him. The man, hovered over her, staring the frightened girl down

"I-I-I-" that was all Jasmine could manage to say

"She is the daughter of one of your old employees" Stone said, crossing his arms in front of his chest, as he stared at Jasmine

"Who's your father?" The tall man, looked down at her. His lips frowned and his posture stiffened

She looked familiar to him, like he had seen her before

Where? He didn't know, but there was something in her eyes, that was so familiar to him

It took Jasmine a moment, but she did answer him

"Ronaldo, Ronaldo Bandoni" she told him, wanting her voice to come out as strong and as composed as his was, but instead, her voice was meek and sounded slightly scared

The blue eyed man, stared down at her and then sighed

"Follow me" he told her, turning around and walking over to, what use to be an old storage room

Jasmine followed and then stopped, once she had made it to the door

"Come in" he said to her "and close the door behind you"

The once storage closet, full of papers and old dusty boxes, was now a polished room, with a black wooden desk right in the middle and a black leather chair, behind it

"I don't bite" he promised, as she took a step in

Jasmine didn't know what was happening to her. How could a man that she just met, make her so nervous?

The man, motioned for her to sit down, in one of the two chairs in front of him

Jasmine sat down and looked around the room

The walls were painted a snow white color, there were portraits, hanging from the walls. On the wooded desk, there were pictures of the man, standing in front of her with two blonde haired children

They were all smiling brightly

"My nephews" he said, smiling down at the frame

"There cute" Jasmine responded, in a monotone voice

He nodded and took a deep breath

"My name is Killian Daxx, I just bought this company and as you know, I'm letting many people go. I am sorry to tell you that your father is one of those people, Miss Bandoni" Killian said, sitting down in his chair and looked over at Jasmine
