Finding Myself

Chapter 10

The Boss's POV

I swear, if Jasmine doesn't return soon with my Pearl, my gem, then she is dead.  She should be back soon, unless she betrayed me and brought my Pearl to that loveboy's house.  I'm getting impatient and if I get impatient, then who knows what will happen to her when she returns.  

Let me explain one thing.  I love my workers with all my heart, but if they give me a reason to distrust them, or if they betray me, then they will become one of the outsiders.  Jasmine is one of my most trusted workers, and I hope that she doesn't betray me because I'll miss her.  

"Madam Boss, your afternoon tea is ready.  Would you like to come have it now, or save it for later?" One of my workers asked me politely, just the way I taught her.  I know I should go and have my tea, but my longing for my Pearl keeps holding me back.  

"Yes, thank you, I will go have it, just give me a few minutes to get ready." I replied in my calm voice, even though I most certainly was not calm on the inside.  

I walked over to my mirror and looked at my heart shaped face.  My bright blue eyes were drawn out of my face(figuratively) as were my scars from the incident.  My scars still glowed a bright red just like the day I got them, the day I gained and lost my precious Pearl.  A tear trickled down my face as I thought of that day.  Gingerly wiping it away from my face, I put on a fake, but believable sweet and soft smile and walked out the small doors from my bedroom.  

Pearl's POV

Ugg, how long have I been asleep? I thought it was only about a thirty minute drive home.  We left at 4:30, how come it's 6:00?? Where is Jasmine taking me? I don't remember this path.  This path is too rich and nice to be from home.  What is going on? Ok, if Jasmine is a thief or kidnapper, than I have to be smart.  I have to pretend I'm still asleep.  Whatever happens, I WILL make it back to Brandon by whatever means possible.  

Jasmine's POV

I pulled up to Boss's mansion to see Pearl still asleep and Boss waiting out on the front door, waiting to give me my doom.  I know she doesn't like it when I procrastinate and take a long time to make a decision.  

Walking up to Boss, I bowed my head in shame just to see her hug me, whisper a thanks in my ear and run to the car.  She gingerly picked Pearl up and kissed the top of her forehead.  Slowly waking up, Pearl's eyes opened up and they opened wide.  She stared at Boss in shock, like she recognized her.  I mean, if I saw someone holding me, kissing my forehead that I didn't know, I would have struggled out of their arms and ran.  Pearl just looked shocked.  

"How... What... I am soooo freaking confused!!! MOM?!?!? How... You... fire... died... WHAT??" Pearl stumbled out of Boss's arms, saying words that confused me even more!  Pearl is... Boss is... I don't understand.  Boss is Pearl's MOM?
