chapter 8:no way no

Carl took a deep breath before knocking on Jasmine's door. He wondered how jasmine would see him now.

Will she allow me to speak?

Will she want to even see my face?

Will she.......a click interrupted his thoughts,he looked at the already opened door, Anabelle, the maid was standing there.

"What can I do for you sir?" She politely asked.

"Umm....I need to see miss Blake" he answered.

"What for,sir?" She asked.

"It's something important and I can't tell you" he told her.

"Okay. Who do I say is looking for her sir" she asked.

She is smart,he thought.

"Just tell her it's someone she would want to see" he said

"I'm sorry,I insist sir" Anabelle said strongly.

"Just go okay,I'm harmless" he said with frustration.

She studied him for a while,before saying "okay" she turned and left.

Carl ran his fingers through his hair. He was already worked up.

He stared at his wrist watch, he had been standing there for over five minutes.........where is she?

The door opened. He looked up...........she was beautiful and he would love to stare at her all day,but she was fierce also.

"What are you doing here?" She asked furiously.

"Jasmine, I need to talk to you" he said.

"Talk to me?' Why? For what?" She threw questions at him.

"In private. I can't tell you here. It's urgent please.",carl said coming closer till he was inch or Twp from her.

Jasmine could not control her breathing,no she told herself inwardly,you can't have feelings for him anymore.

She stepped back,"I don't want to listen to whatever you've got to say. Just go"

"Please" he reached for her hand and squeezed it. "Just listen to me"

"No" she swiftly removed her hand.

"I beg you"carl pleaded.

Something in Carl's voice made her listen to him.

"Alright. Come in" she said and turned away. Carl followed her.

Fiona stepped out of the shower dripping wet. She was already wearing a baby blue bath robe and was drying her hair with a white towel.

She sat on her bed and picked up a pen and her journal and began to write:
My money is beginning to run out. I'm getting dry and I don't wanna return to Jasmine, tony&my father. It's going to be a complete shame proving that I'm inefficient to take care of myself and earn money. What do I do? Work? No way no, I can't. I'm the daughter of a business empire owner,everyone knows this,I can't work as an assistant or under anyone not even up to my standards. Maybe i should......

Beep! Beep!, her phone beeped. She had a text. It read:
Hey Fiona, meet me at the house we call greenhorn,you'll meet a girl putting on  Jean trouser and black jacket. She'll take you to where I am. Be there at 12 O'Clock sharp. Merci.
Jean-Clark.

She read it twice. This could be my answer,she thought,maybe Jean-Clark would help me. She looked at her clock,it was fifteen minutes past eleven. She got rid of her bathrobe and wore a white high waist chinos trousers and a red turtle neck armless blouse;she grabbed her essentials and left the house.

"What!" Jasmine exclaimed.

"Yes. That's it" Carl looked at her directly, he watched emotions display on her face.

She stood up and paced around the parlour.

"You know what? Get out of my house now" she said.

"What!" Carl was the surprised one now.

"Get out. I don't believe you" she told him.

He stood up and held her shoulders.

"How can you not believe me Jasmine,wake up from your slumber." He said raising his voice as he shook her.

" get your hands off me. Are you crazy or what? How can you say Albert changed his name from harry Osbourne. Why on earth would he do that. Tell me!" She yelled.

" I don't know" Carl raised his hands In frustration.

Silence.

"That's why I'm here" he said.

"Huh?"

"I need you to help me do so" he said.

"Help you do what?" She asked.

"Help me get some information from Albert somehow he wouldn't know." He said quietly.

"What? No way no. I don't even believe you. Now go" she said pointing him towards the door.

" huh!" He exclaimed.

" I said go" she raised her voice.

"Alright. At least I tried" he was pissed off. He slammed the door behind him,cursing loudly. He got into his car and drove out of the Blake's residence almost hitting a young woman holding grocery bags. It fell.

He got down from his car to help her. He finished packing the groceries that fell and was already apologising as he was handing over the bags, he recognized the face instantly.

It was his ex-girlfriend.
