Katherine's eyes widened slightly and her shocked expression broke into a big smile and she began to chuckle softly.

"What's so funny?" He asked with a small upturn of his lips.

​​

"Nothing, it's just for the first time in my life I feel like your human." She stated.

Jason blinked at her with a scowl on his face.

"Since when did you find out?" Katherine asked.

"Why is this necessary? Are you going to talk to Jessie or not?" He asked more forcefully this time.

"I will if you answer my questions. When did you find out that you loved Jessie?" She asked again.

"When she went missing, it felt like I couldn't breathe and everything irritated me. I was so emotional my chest hurt and it embarrassed and confused me. But it all made sense when I admitted it to myself." He said.

"Have you told her?" He nodded. "You have? So that means... oh my goodness!" Katherine laughed. "You got rejected? Wow!"

Jason furrowed his brows and his face scrunched up into a frown and displeasure, before he grinned deceptively at her. "Jokes on you Katherine. At least I had the courage to confess my feelings."

Katherine stopped laughing and clutched her chest. "Low blow Jason. Low blow" she shook her head.

He scoffed. "But it appears you've given up?"

"I'm taking a break, I've endured too many heart breaks in my life I need a break." She said.

"You should tell him you know, the guy is racking his brain nonstop wondering why his in the slums with you. And his blaming you're sudden change on Jessie." Jason crossed his legs and leaned back into the chair.

"Tch... that all he does, blame his shortcomings on others." She rolled her eyes. "If his insistent that I changed I guess he never really knew me then." She shrugged. "Perhaps this is for the best." She mumbled.

Jason stared pointedly at her, "it is the best, but can you really do it? You loved him for over twenty years can you just stop?"

"Why? Do you want to know how to stop loving someone so you can stop loving Jessie?" Katherine asked.

"No. I will never stop loving Jessie, it's longer a question of whether or not I'm capable of doing so, my mind and heart are in this together, it's Jessie. No matter how long it takes it'll always be her." Jason stated firmly, with such intensity in his black orbs. And intensity that inspired and scared Katherine, he was dead serious about this. She felt slightly jealous at Jessie, why couldn't Paul love her like that?

"Well I guess I don't really love Paul then, because I've wanted nothing more than to stop loving him the moment I realised I did." She smiled sadly.

Jason knew that was not true, she was the strongest person he ever met. The entire world was aganist her heart, including her but she never wavered. Love is different for everyone, and Paul was unnaturally lucky to be the recipient of such a fierce and fiery determination. But he would not tell her that, he could not tell her that. The last thing he wanted was to encourage this persevering love of hers.

"Unrequited love is hard isn't it?" She laughed ruefully. Jason gave her a sad smile in return.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to Jessie and try to convince her." She said.

"Thank you Katherine."

"Patricia Lee is planning the party? Since when? How can she be planning the party, it a Kang family ball what is the likes of the Lee's doing getting involved?" Krystal as Jonathan with her face scrunched up in disgust.

Jonathan looked at the naive and overly honest woman in front him and sighed. "Krystal, your supposed to pick up the file, drop it and leave. I have too much work to indulge in idle chit chat." He said curtly.

Krystal frowned. "Tch... I can't believe this isn't bothering you? I mean if Patricia is close to Chairman Kang then that means Jessie Marin would be in danger." She huffed.

"And that should concern me why?" He looked up from his desk with a gaze so intense she stumbled back a few steps. Slowly, slowly this man in front of her reaveled his real identity. And Krystal wasn't enjoying what she was seeing. But nevertheless she was a cowardly woman.

"I just thought you cared about the actress, if not why go through all the stress to find and save her. Unless...." she trailed off.

"Unless what?" He asked guardedly.

"Unless you have an ulterior motive?" She suggested deviously.

Jonathan gave her one of his sweet innocent smiles. He got up and walked around his desk, and kept moving forcing Krystal to stumble backwards. Until she couldn't anymore, trapped between the wall and this tall man she felt odd. He leaned down and looked her in the eyes.

"What if I do?" Where his short curt words.

Krystal's eyes widened and she pulled him lower the action drawing a small gasp from Jonathan. She spoke into his ears. "I don't know you Mr. Kang so I can't tell if this is a joke or not. But know you enough to not put it past you, you don't know me either. I'm very meticulous and passionate about very few things in this world, Jessie Marin is one of them. It would be in your best interest to not touch her."

Jonathan began to laugh, he pulled away and clasped his hands looking down at Krystal. "Woah... it's true what they say, short girls are scary." He laughed.

She furrowed her brows at him. "Calm down, I was pulling your legs. If you're really so confident about her then I'll tell you. Patricia Lee would be engaged to my brother. Jason Kang."

"Heh?"

"Yeah, that's why she's hosting the party, it basically her duty."

Krystal could not believe what she was hearing, Jessie stayed with Jason. She could be in danger! But would he hurt someone he looked at like that? She thought remembering the scene in Jonathan's home. She shook her head, it's too much of a risk. She needed to find out what the hell was going on.
