Zee's POV
"Booyah!!! Take that Mr. WWH!!!" yelled a voice from downstairs.
"Who is that yelling in the background," Sasha asked.
"That would be Jasmine, seems like she beat Jin in another round of Mortal Kombat," I explained with a chuckle.
"Poor guy, tell her to go easy on him next time," Sasha said.
"I will but we both know how competitive she is."
"Oh yeah, that too."
Sasha and I couldn't stop laughing at the commotion that was coming from downstairs. We could clearly hear Jin complaining about losing against Jazz again. Those two were characters when competing.
"I'm glad to see you smiling and laughing again. In fact you're glowing. May I ask who is responsible for this glow I'm seeing," Sasha asked.
I laughed at her observation. I knew she would pick up on my sudden happy mood.
"Oh my word, where do I even begin," I said, "Well something may have happened between Namjoon and myself," I concluded.
"Oh really, let's hear about it."
I went on to tell Sasha about the attraction I had felt towards Namjoon, since the day he kissed me. I continued to tell her about the events that transpired after the cocktail evening until now. She was shocked and was silent for about a minute or so.
"Okay, so you guys slept together twice so far?" she asked.
"Yes!"
"And do you have any feelings towards him or is this like a fun summer fling?"
"I don't know Sash, I mean I don't know if it's just a sexual attraction I have towards him or if it's genuine. So far we are just exploring these feelings we have towards each other," I said in response.
Sasha sighed and said, "Okay, maybe you and Namjoon need to talk things through before you have another round in bed. Be open with each other and maybe lay down some rules," she advised.
I nodded in agreement to the advice she was giving me but somehow I ended up laughing at one of her phrases.
"Zee, I'm being serious here and you're laughing," she said sternly.
"I know you are and believe me, I've taken it into consideration. I'm just laughing at what you said," I said while laughing.
"What did I say?" she asked.
"Another round in bed," I said with a chuckle.
Sash was silent for a while, thinking about what she said and she herself couldn't help but laugh at her own phrase.
"Okay, but jokes aside, I'm being serious. I'm all for you having the fling but I don't want you to get hurt," she said with a smile.
"I understand and I will be sure to keep my guard up, but can I ask you to keep this between us for now. I haven't told Jazz and the others yet," I asked.
Sasha nodded and I knew I could trust her to keep it a secret. She has always been someone I could go to with my problems and I saw her as more of an older sister than my boss. We continued to chat and catch up on what was happening at home before Jazz stormed into the room.
"Good you're awake, Giovann managed to find something on Jenna," Jazz said out of breath.
"Please tell me it's not something to worry about," I asked.
"I wish that was the case but he wants a zoom meeting with us to explain his findings," she said sitting next to me, "Oh, hi Sasha. Maybe you should join in as well."
"Join in what, is everything okay?" Sasha asked with a worried look.
Jazz and I looked at each other before I explained to Sasha about our doubts with Jenna and that we were worried she could be using Jake to gather intel for the competition. Sasha agreed to be a part of the meeting, as she wanted to know as well. I ended the call I had with her and Jazz sent her the code to join. I really had a bad feeling about what we were about to find out.
We were connected to the site and we all said our greetings. My heart was beating very fast and I felt very anxious about what we were about to find out.
"Hey babe, we thought it was best to include Sasha in the meeting as well. We could really use her input if need be," Jazz explained to him.
"No problem! Well let's get right to it then. The good news is the girl is legit. She plays fair when it comes to business. So far she has not used her looks to get the upper hand when pitching for a contract. The bad news is, the girl is an obsessive lover," Giovann said.
"When you say obsessive lover, what do you mean exactly," Sasha asked.
Giovann scratched his head a bit, as if he was trying to find a way to sugar coat his answer.
"I mean the girl does not accept rejection easily, she is very possessive and clingy. She is also known to kidnap her love interest should he wish to end things with her," he explained.
"What!!" Jazz and I exclaimed.
"Where is Jake now?" Sasha asked.
"He went out for lunch with Jenna, said he would be back before supper. In fact, now that I think about it, he has been chatting a lot with her on his phone. She was also clinging to him a lot last night," Jazz stated.
"I also noticed that, she was super attentive to him as well. Like she didn't want him out of her sight," I said, adding to Jazz's statement
"Gio, when was her last relationship?" Jazz asked.
"A month ago, the poor guy ended up in hospital after he broke up with her. She allegedly drove him over with her car," he explained.
"How is she not in jail or better yet a mental asylum?" I asked.
"Her parents have money and they managed to pay the guy off in exchange for his silence. They then arranged for her to leave the country for a while, in order for things to cool down. Hence the fact she is in Malaysia with her crew," Giovann responded.
"Oh no, Jake is her next victim," I said covering my face, "Sasha do you think we should tell Jake?" I asked her with a worried look.
"No; not yet. He won't believe you and he will take offence at the fact that you guys went behind his back," she said.
"Then what do we do, this girl could snap the moment Jake stops giving her attention," Jazz stated.
"Keep an eye on him; insist that they meet at the villa instead of going out. Try to befriend the girl in order to keep tabs on her. Right now, Jake seems to like this girl and the last thing I need is for a rift to happen between you guys. Gio, I'm going to need you to go with Tracy and join them on the competition. I'll feel a lot more at peace knowing that there are more of you there to protect each other," Sasha said.
Jazz squealed under her breath out of excitement. She really missed Giovann and now that he was going to join us on the trip; it made her day.
"I'll join you guys as soon as I can. Brent and I need to first accompany Nina to Paris for a business conference and then we will fly to Malaysia from there. Until then, you guys need to stay safe and look out for each other. Make sure you let Danny know as well," Sasha instructed.
"Will do," Jazz and I said in response.
We soon ended the zoom meeting on a good note as Sasha had to get back to her family and Giovann needed to go start packing. Jazz and I looked at each other, both shocked at what we just heard. I didn't know how to process all of this information but what I did know is that we had to protect Jake at all costs.
