The look in his eyes said it all. I asked myself, "What have I done to this guy? I don't understand how a nice guy will change so suddenly or did something happen to him all those years we didn't speak? I think something happened." The anger in his eyes rendered me speechless. I was shown my room and wow, I couldn't believe my eyes.
The interior design of the room was next level out of this world, it felt like I was on a different planet. I was admiring the view of the room when I heard a whisper behind my ear saying,
"Don't be comfortable bitch, you won't be staying for long."
I knew it was Nicolas so I tried to ignore his words and retired for the night. I heard a knock on my door the next morning, the maid told me Sir wanted me to have breakfast with him so I prepared and went downstairs.
Thinking of the words to express my gratitude towards sir, I sat at the dining table, and before I could say a word, the monster who had decided to torment my stay in the house came out of the kitchen interrupting my conversation with his dad.
Although the feeling was mutual, I could not act anytime I was with his dad, and it was my disadvantage. I needed to find a quick solution before Nicolas made me his punching bag. Clenching my fist under the table I patiently waited for him to finish his conversation and expressed my gratitude toward the old man. While we were eating he told us he had a proposal for us and out of curiosity I asked what it was,
"Jasmine I know you are unemployed and will be searching for a job in no time, and Nicolas I know you left medical school because of your mom and me so I have a proposal for you both. Jasmine I will make you an executive in the cardiothoracic department and Nicolas I will give you the Marina Hotel to manage since that has been your dream for years now."
With shock and amusement, "Sir, you own Marina Hotel? Sir you know I respect you and will always love you but if it is to marry this your son even if the world is offered to me I will reject it. He doesn't respect me or care about me."
I saw the look in his eyes when the dad mentioned the Marina Hotel so I knew rejecting the proposal was the best way to get my revenge for all he has done to me since I got here. The sad and angry looks in his eyes gave me pleasure, after replying to the old man I went to my room. While climbing the stairs he shouted, "I would rather marry a mad woman than marry a lady with flat buttocks." Hearing how his voice dropped in pitch and volume I was 110% sure I got him this time.
I was a little disturbed by how I rejected the old man and didn't know how to face him the next day. He sent me touring around the city to visit the companies he owned. I was amazed by all the new experiences. I heard some interesting stories about him and how he started some of those companies. On our way back home, we witnessed a horrifying accident so I offered my assistance as a doctor and instructed them to call 911.
"Jasmine, I saw how you treated those people, and I know you still love your job, what is stopping you from accepting the proposal I offered last night? Trust me my son is a good person and I promise you will like him if you get to know him."
I didn't want to reject him the second time in two days so I replied "Sir I will think about it but I have a question, when you were speaking to us yesterday I realized you said he was a medical school dropout. What happened, sir?"
Seeing how he remained silent, I realized there was more to the story than just a medical school dropout. It felt awkward in the car till we got home. I decided to video call Bela after so I went upstairs to pick up my laptop but couldn't find it. I went downstairs worried, Nicolas was with his dad watching a documentary.
"Have any of you seen my laptop?" The moment I saw Nicolas turning his head towards me and smirking, I knew he had something to do with it.
"Oh, are you referring to the MacBook with the yellow case? If it is then I'm sorry, after you left with my Dad this morning I saw it on the floor and thought you didn't need it so I flashed it down the toilet."
"How can you be so wicked Nicolas, we both know that laptop is working and I'm sure Jasmine had a lot of important things on that laptop, I'm disappointed in you."
I was so angry that I wished I could twist his neck there and then. Sir apologized and offered to get me a better one, which calmed my nerves a little. I couldn't be in the same building with that annoying guy so I went to a pub to get a drink. I came home late trying to avoid Nicolas' face, he was sleeping on the couch when I got home, and seeing how he was shivering I decided to cover him with some clothes.
I went over to wrap him when I saw the posture of his pink lips I was carried away, I kneeled closely, and started admiring his face from the forehead to the chin. I went closer trying to touch his lips to see how soft it felt but to my surprise, he opened his eyes and I froze.
