🎀 Chapter 4 🎀
"Collins I will make you regret everything you've done, I will not forget how I was disgraced by you and the entire community, I will make you regret what you did that night. You will regret rejecting me". After saying this, she adjusted her nose mask and cap and made her way inside.
• INSIDE •
Flourish glared at the lady that just arrived. Even though she wore a nose mask and a face cap which makes seeing her face difficult, the men still stared lustfully at her body as she walked elegantly towards them.
"Better", She hissed satisfied that Collins didn't even look at the lady. "But, who could she be?", She asked herself as she moved closer to Collins.
Jasmine was offered a seat by Flora after she showed her Identity card to her, while Jasmine just sat down, watching the celebration.
"This is to our boss health and long life", They all cheered as they cut the cake and fed it to their boss. Jasmine watched as Flourish licked off the cake stain from his mouth and deliberately looked at Jasmine in the eye, meaning that, "you are new here, so get to know he is my boyfriend, keep off!!".
Jasmine sneered looking away, "Who does she think she is?, isn't she the same person who was still begging my assistant up till yesterday for a meeting with me. Wretched lady". She mumbled irritated by the public display of affection.
"Who is she?", Collins asked after they had all settled down as he pointed his hands to Jasmine.
"Oh, she?. She is the Female Guru of the entertainment industry. Let's all welcome Queen Jasmine to our midst, a renowned artist, model and singer", Flora shouted demonstrating dramatically in her usual loud voice, while the staffs were all confused as to what to do first.
'Is it to clap first?, or to save our ears?'. They thought and covered their ears to protect it from *Flora the Microphone*. The nickname they gave her.
"Ohhh", They breathed out in relief, thankful that Flora has ended her speech, or else her loud voice would weaken their hearing organ.
They all clapped and Flourish seethed, she liked all the attention to herself, but now another lady is taking it all.
"I can't believe I almost met with her, and I was about to beg her for help. Thank God I didn't see her, it was her assistant I saw". She mumbled in annoyance, seeing the way everyone adored Jasmine and all she felt right then was anger, hate and jealousy.
She didn't know why Jasmine looked familiar, it felt like she knows her. She tried searching her memories for information but didn't found any, then she returned her attention back to Collins only to find him shaking hands with Flourish.
Watching this scene, it took Flourish much strength to control herself from punching Jasmine. She dragged him, trying to get his attention but it was futile.
Clearing her throat a bit noisily, she jerked off their hands replacing it with hers and plastered on a fake smile.
"Hey, Queen Jasmine, it's nice to finally meet you. I hope you know your place here, and stay off from others people property", She mocked adding more pressure onto Jasmine's hand and continued her word.
"I hope you know that you are just a newbie here, you might be a popular singer, model and artist, I don't care. Let me tell you something, right here, you are just a learner, a baby writer. So stay off others property", She said and roughly released Jasmine hand which had turned red due to the violent hold by Flourish.
This act didn't go unnoticed by the people present, but they dared not speak up. Everyone there knows her behavior, She is super jealous and will wound any girl that even admires him from afar. No one dare flirt with the boss, they will always remind themselves saying "Don't go there, it's Flourish Territory".

The celebration ended as everyone began their works immediately while Flourish also went to her workplace, not before smooching her mouth on Collins and also ensuring to make a smacking sounds in order to spite Jasmine.
She doesn't know why her intuition keeps telling her that Jasmine is up to no good.
Jasmine got the message but ignored her which infuriates Flourish as she headed to her workplace. Collins called her to his office and she followed him.
"He doesn't even remember me, I was Soo foolish to hope that he would still have a picture of my old self here", She thought as she looked round his office, with no single picture of her's, except his girlfriend, Flourish.
"Welcome to our midst Queen Jasmine, I saw everything that happened earlier, I apologize to you on her behalf. You know girls are always jealous, she is just trying to protect her love". He explained to Jasmine as he brought out some book from his locked desk and handed it to her.
"Jealous indeed, if not for everyone around and my reputation that I must keep. I would have shifted her brain with my hand", Jasmine thought and forced a smile to her face while she collected the paper in which her work schedule is written.
"It's nothing", She replied him, with a fake smile she has learned as an actress.
"I will get going", She informed.
"Wait!!!", He shouted, strolling towards her and her heart almost burst out of her ribcage, thinking he has recognized her.
