Jesse looked at his friend, after what happened last night, Jasmine seemed like she was frustrated.
"Hey, what happened last night, I didn't think he would be that angry with you."
She couldn't do anything, how he reacted last night, how Yohan talked to her last night, it was awful. She sighed and then tried her best to smile.
"Well, I expect that he will be angry with me, but not like that, like this, he wasn't angry, he's mad."
Jesse opened the door for her, they have a meeting this afternoon to review what happened last night. There were lots of good comments about last night.
Luckily the small debate at their table was not detected by the media, and they were saved from the scandal. Many customers come to stay, and they give vouchers and discounts.
"So, can we start the assessment? Before we do the Grand Opening?" Jesse started the meeting.
Lucy nodded. "For last night's soft opening, we will review it till the end of the week. So we can see the full assessment."
"Oke, what do you think babe?" Jesse asked Jasmine.
Jasmine turns her head to look at Jesse. She has known Jesse for too long to understand that this person always had nicknames for her, and it can change every 2 hours.
"Oke, I got it, if this goes smoothly, I'll leave the hotel soon enough."
"Oh come on! You still want to leave me?"
"Hell, yeah! I do have my own, my dad has asked me when I will go home, so you or even Joel can't ask me to stay."
"But you can't just disappear like that-"
Before Jesse had time to continue his protest to Jasmine, her cell phone rang and they were immediately silent.
"Mom?" Jasmine answered the phone.
"You're coming home tonight, I don't wanna hear any excuse."
"For what? I have work here."
"Jasmine, this is your mom talking, and if I said you have to come home, you have to come home tonight!"
"Did Dad want to talk about last night?"
"Just come home, Jasmine Alexander."
"Alright, I'll go."
Jasmine puts down her phone, and she closes her eyes trying to calm down, she can't be mad at her mom, and what she can do is do what her mom wants.
"I think someone is in trouble," Jesse teased her. "Shut up!."
***
Jasmine closed her car door, she just standing in front of her car, she didn't know if she had to come in or not.
She knows her mom called her this is not just an ordinary family dinner. Something will happen again.
She knows that she will make a problem when she puts her foot inside the house, if he's there, they will fight again.
The Kalerin Family and The Lesmana Family have been friends since Jasmine and Yohan were 7 years old, so that was 23 years ago.
Jasmine makes everything go crazy, their family is still friends today, but Jasmine and Yohan, only God knows what will happen with those two.
"Jasmine? Why are you doing here?"
"Is everyone inside?"
"Just come in, why are you standing here? Hurry up, you're mom is waiting."
Jasmine forced her way into the house. As soon as she got in, she saw someone helping her mom prepare the food.
"Who are you?" Jasmine asked directly.
"Oh, hello Miss Jasmine, I'm Devan, Mr. Yesa's secretary."
"Isn't supposed to be Cindy?'
"It was, and it was a long story," said the deep voice from behind.
Jasmine smiled and turned around she knew the voice, it was Yesa who was behind her. "How long is the story?"
"Long enough, it cost 12 years that you have gone," answered another voice.
Jasmine tried to control her face and her anger, Yohan arrived with Priskila his mom, and Hadiraganta his dad.
"So you want to play that. Let me ask you something then, how's Claire?"
"Why do you bring her now? If you ask me about her, then I'll ask you about the person who called you darling last night. He owns the TS Hotel, right?"
"Well, he is. Why?"
"What exactly did you do to impress him enough to make you Deputy Director?"
"Yohan!" Yesa shouted at Yohan because his words were out of line.
But Jasmine walked closer to Yohan and whispered, "Even if I spread my legs and make him sleep with me, that's not your fucking problem, don't act like you care about me."
"The fuck are you saying!? You slept with him!?"
"Why? You said it he called me darling, then if he is my boyfriend, you don't have the right to tell me what to do, or what happened with my love life 'cause I was never involved in your relationship!"
"Are you crazy!? Leaving for 12 years and now you said you became a Deputy Director because you slept with your boss?"
"Why? Is that a problem for you!?"
"Yohanes Ruby Lesmana!"
"Jasmine Alexander Kalerin!"
The two of them had never been this wild, but when they met again, for some reason they couldn't stop their mouths at all.
They even stop because both of their fathers call their full names.
"That's enough, now let's eat," said Lily.
Without speaking, they immediately sat in their chairs. What was pathetic was that Yohan and Jasmine sat as if they still had a good relationship. They sat next to each other like they were doing subconsciously.
Even though they were reprimanded, the atmosphere did not improve. Jasmine continues to be defensive and Yohan acts like a victim.
Yesa, as someone who really knows what happened, and what is the reason, is still trying to reconcile those two, but it is a difficult job, it's more difficult than taking over a company.
Since 12 years ago, Jasmine had decided that she would not tell Yohan the reason why she was leaving.
Meanwhile, Yohan wanted to know what was the reason and wanted Jasmine to apologize for what happened.
Yohan is always the one who demands and feels what he's doing is right, but Jasmine always feels like she has been hurt and there is nothing she can do but shut up and leave.
"What about the hotel Lex?" Dani tried to divert.
"Which hotel?"
"Your hotel is with TS."
"Oh, we still do the assessment, if this goes smoothly, I can leave the hotel."
"Remember your promise."
"I do remember it, Dad."
"Oh, they said the office birthday party would be there, right Yesa?" asked Priscilla.
"Yes Mom, our office's birthday will be there because we are an association with TS, so we get a good price."
"Hmm, that's right," said Jasmine.
"Mom just remembered," Lily looked at Priscilla and they both smiled.
"It's your birthday next month."
"Mom, enough, Yohan has grown up, and I'm bored of celebrating 10 birthdays with her."
"Since when do we do 10 times? Remember, we only celebrate together 7 times, not 10 times."
"Did your brain damage? It's 10 times, not 7."
"My brain? Your brain is broken."
"I've never missed my birthday alone, and that means we've blown out the candles together 10 times."
"This is what happens if you take too much alcohol and do many one-night-stand, you've become pathetic! We just celebrate it 7 times, one time I celebrate it with Yesa in front of your bedroom alone! When you celebrate it with your fucking girlfriend!"
"No, it was 10 times!'
"Fix your fucking brain and memory then talk to me, asshole!"
"Alexander!'
"Why everyone is always defending him!? No one ever talks to him that he was the person who should apologize not me!"
Jasmine stood up, and then she looked at Yohan who was still sitting in his place. "Don't drink too much, 'cause you're still a fucking asshole!"
She was walking and leaving the table but she heard Yohan talk again, this time he shouted.
"Stop walking!"
She turns around. "Shut up you bastard! I don't wanna talk to you!"
Jasmine came out and left the dining room, Devan and Mr. Gun tried to restrain Jasmine but she still left the house.
Yesa looked down while taking a deep breath. "I'll chase her first, sorry sir, auntie."
"I should be the one apologizing, I don't teach her enough," said Dani.
"Don't talk like that, we know what the situation is," said Hadi.
Yesa shook his head. Yes, everyone in the room knew why Jasmine left and was angry like that, but they also couldn't do anything about it either now or 12 years ago.
***
As Yesa suspected, Jasmine was in the garden of their complex.
"Here," said Yesa while giving Jasmine ice cream.
Jasmine raised her head and it turned out that she had just finished crying. It seemed Yesa's decision to bring ice cream first was correct.
"I know you're upset, but you know, none of us are defending Yohan, we just want you two to get better."
"I know. I regret saying that."
"Just finish the ice cream first."
Bruum~
The sound of a car was heard from the end of the alley, a blue metallic McLaren stopped in front of them.
The driver got out and it was Jesse who appeared. He squatted down while wiping Jasmine's tears.
Then put Jasmine's jacket on. "Let's go home babe."
"You want to go home now?" asked Yesa.
"Hmm, I can't drive so I called Jesse."
"Okay, hi I'm Yesa, Jasmine's brother."
"Yohan's brother too, right?"
"That's right."
Jesse welcomed the outstretched hand. "Jesse Anderson. Jasmine's boyfriend and her boss."
Hearing that, Yesa suddenly turned to Jasmine who was sitting, but Jasmine was also looking at Jesse, and he only gave an eye code to look to the side.
Apparently, Yohan was there watching them and Jasmine nodded. "Sorry, I haven't told you. I'll go home first, thanks Yesa, I'll call you later."
