🎀 Chapter 9🎀
Collins made his way to the door, but gasped at what he saw.
"What?!, She is kissing a guy?!, how could she?!", He seethed in anger as he saw Jasmine clinging to a guy and giving him kisses all over his face and neck.
It felt as if someone was squeezing the life out of his body, he stomped angrily to her and yanked her away from the guy.
"You harlot, haven't you had enough?. If you want to sell your body, please respect my office. You just go around seducing people, first it was Mike and now him?.
Thank God Flourish had warned me of your slutty behavior, or else I would have fallen into your trap, and the next thing would be you telling me you are pregnant".
He spat out at her in disgust not minding the tears in her eyes. He was just too clouded with anger to mind her tears or anyone's word.
"is it money you don't have?, or is it just an addiction?, or who knows maybe that's what you did to get your fame?, or is it too itchy down there?, looking for someone to help itch it?. I could help you sl^ut."
He looked at her in disgust. He didn't understand why he was acting like as if she had cheated on him. As he watched her tears, he felt like hugging her and telling her soothing words, but he restricted himself, letting his anger out.
"I don't care whether you are a celebrity or not, but please don't bring your hookup business to my office. My company is not an hotel, here it's strictly business not strictly pus*ies!!", He screamed at her.
Collins words were just like as if numerous dagger were stucked into Jasmine's heart. She walked away in tears, his words hurt her, even more than his rejection two years ago.
How does she explain it to him that she is not a sl*t, that she is just a lady who hugged her long time friend because she missed him.
"Hey, what are you waiting for?, get out of here!!", Collins shouted at the guy who Jasmine had hugged earlier, but the guy only hugged him.
"Fred!?", He called in shock and disbelief, he couldn't mistake this cologne for any others own.
"Fred!?", He called again to be sure, he just realized that the guy with Jasmine is his long time childhood friend, but he went abroad three years ago to take over his dad's hospital.
"But, what's up with her always hugging my best friends?", He thought and looked around only to realize he is back inside the office again, on Fred's lap, while he just pats his head.
"He has not changed, he is still the same as before, Soo caring and affectionate", Collins said and chuckled.
"What did you say?", Fred asked while Collins placed his hands on Fred's mouth to shut him up before removing his hands again, this single act of his made Fred's heartbeat race.
"I said you are still Soo caring and affectionate like always, if only I like guys, I would have fallen for you", Collins said, he knows his friend is gay.
Fred blushed Soo hard, he quickly hid his face. His friend doesn't know he is in love with him.
"Shut up your mouth", Fred said smacking Collins head a little, but still rubbed it again.
"Collins, Why did you react that way?, because I know you wouldn't say such words to a lady", Fred asked but Collins kept quiet and when he decided to speak, he answered his question with another question.
"How do you know her?", He asked Fred.
OUTSIDE
Flourish smirked when she saw Jasmine coming out from Collins office in tears but Jasmine quickly cleaned it, she wasn't going to give Flourish the satisfaction of seeing her in tears.
"How sweet", She giggled as she drew nearer to Jasmine and laughed mockingly, clapping her hands.
Jasmine ignored her, but Flourish wasn't satisfied, she blocked Jasmine's way again, but was annoyed as she got no response.
"The Husband snatcher has finally been disgraced", Flourish said hoping to draw attention, but she knows that one of the company rules is the staff should never poke nose in any issues that does not concern their work.
Even though the staffs are watching the scene, they would not interfere, the highest they could do is gossip among themselves.
At this rate Jasmine was sure she would not think twice before cocking a gun at Veronica's head.
"Shut up you stinky mouth, stop claiming him as your husband, you are not even engaged yet, and if he wishes he could dump you. I don't have your time today, when you see me in this angry mode just run, I repeat just run", She said as she grabbed the drink from Flourish hand and poured it on her head.
The staffs gasped, from what they just saw. Flourish cloth was all wet, and her breasts are showing through the cloth she wore, she didn't wore any underwear, not even a Bra nor singlet.
"See the s•lut here, I am sure boss is not the only one she is sleeping with, what a pity, our boss is eating public leftover", Fiona whispered to another staff who quickly covered his ears.
She wondered why Veronica was glaring at her, "I didn't do anything wrong, did I?", She mumbled and another staff pinched her.
"You didn't know what you did right?", A staff asked her.
"No", She replied still confused.
"You said that out loud", They told her and she gasped. "Wasn't I whispering?", She asked them and they shaked their heads. They don't know if their boss assistant is just Soo deaf, her voice is loud enough, even more than microphones used in worldwide crusade.
.
Flourish left the place looking annoyed, "Jasmine, I promise i won't let you escape this", She swears angrily as she remembered what had happened earlier. She had plans on seducing Collins or maybe giving him drug because he had never been intimate with her before, he only allowed a kiss and that's after several complaints but that stupid Jasmine spoiled the show.

"Answer me first", Fred said.
"Okay, I just don't understand what I feel around her, I feel like I am going crazy", He confessed to Fred feeling relieved, Fred is the other friend apart from Mike that he can tell all his sorrows to without feeling scared.
Fred although hurt hide his pain and grinned widely, looking at his friend,"Don't tell me you are in love with another lady?, what of Flourish?", He asked getting serious.
"I just don't know, I have answered your question so answer mine. How did you know her?", Collins asked, he was now sitted on a couch beside his friend.
"Well, I don't know her. I just entered here and she just jumped on me like she has been longing for my arrival", He explained and Collins sighed, he didn't know why he felt joy at what he heard, atleast she wasn't Fred's girlfriend, he still has a chance with her, he thought and he quickly shaked his head, asking himself what's wrong with him.
"She is Soo weird, I don't know why, she is the first lady to hug me apart from Daniella that I wasn't irritated by her touch. By the way, her scent reminds me of someone. Where is Daniella?", He said and Collins only stared in shock.
"You also know Daniella?!", He asked in disbelief.
"Why won't I know Daniella?, she is our childhood friend, she clings to you at all time and you also protect her at all times", He said.
"Now, I know there is something fishy. Why can't I remember her?", He asked and it was Fred's turn to open his mouth in shock.
"What?!, I am calling Mike. He's got some explanation to do", Fred said grabbing his phone from his pocket to call Mike.
"Why wouldn't you remember her?, you don't remember your cupcakes?, or is this a joke?", He asked again, not believing Collins. It wasn't his fault, how would you not remember your best friend that has been with you for more than 10 years.
