Sold? Oh Please. Chapter 299
Advertisement
Jessie spent days worrying. She tried to fill her mind with her own plans and their executions, but she couldn't push Jason away from her thoughts, she couldn't stop thinking about him. Worrying about him, he wasn't okay, and what's worse was that he continued to push people away. It was unfair, it was childish and what's worse? It was extremely nerve wracking.
So instead of meeting with Goerge this afternoon as planned she cancelled the lunch date and headed to the Song hospital. She even cancelled on her newest ally, Lenora. She was the only one aware of George's existence in her life, and her plan for him. Lenora had been the one to inform her of the way to secure an audience with the man. And Lenora was also the only one that she told of how badly he terrified her. How he made her skin crawl and her forehead sweaty, no one unnerved her like George Lee but yet...
Shaking her head she pushed her handsome devil from her thoughts, she wouldn't worry about that right now. She was meeting him two days from now. So she would wait to be scared then.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Paul I'm coming up so inform them at the desk." Jessie said into her phone.
"You? Again? When exactly did this become a regular thing?" She could hear him pout over the phone.
"Oh please, as if you aren't happy that I come to see you." She said.
"I'm not. I'm a busy man Jessie." He said.
"Well so I'm I, can you please just inform the reception table?" She frowned.
"Fine." He groaned.
She sighed as she walked into the elevator to his office, wondering if Patricia was still here. She would ask Paul.

After a bit she was walking into Paul's office. Pretty classy for a hospital but again she had to remind herself that he was not a doctor.
"Hello Paul." She greeted as she walked in.
"Can we skip the greetings today?" He pursed his lips. "How can I help you?"
Jessie frowned "pretty grumpy are we?"
He gave her a pointed look and she gave in. "Fine, fine it's about Jason."
Paul rolled his eyes, "when has it never been?"
"I would comment on your comment but I'm pretty desperate and also pressed for time. So I'll ignore that. Aren't you worried about him?" She asked.
"Ofcourse I am, but after what he did to you and the fact that he made it a duty to ignore my calls I'm pretty pissed at the guy." He shrugged.
"Come on, I am flattered that you are mad at him on my behalf but I feel my rage is enough don't alienate him because of me. You were friends way before I came into the picture." She pouted. "Besides I came here hoping to hear about Jason but you're not talking to him. That's disappointing." She said.
"So you don't really care about me or my anger on your behalf. What you want is a spy?" Paul asked.
"Spy? Pfft, you're not a spy just... an informant." She said.
"You do know the way to his house and his office right? I really I'm not interested in involving myself in this lover's quarrel anymore." He resisted.
"Paul! Stop being difficult. Jason really needs help." She said. "I don't know how to convince him to get a therapist."
"Isn't that the reason you two broke up?" Paul asked. "You're still on that?"

"Ofcourse! Just because he didn't want one doesn't mean he doesn't need it."
Paul threw his hands in the air. "Well I can't help you there."
"I know" she replied quietly. "But I didn't come here for that."
"Then?"
"I came for information." She replied.
"Information on what?"
"Jason's mother. What did you know about her?" Jessie asked.
"Now your asking about his mother?"
Jessie returned his pointed look and it was his turn to fold.
"Well for starters her name was Veronica Park. She was the prettiest woman I knew, the kindest too. And very elegant, she acted like a queen as if she possessed royal blood." Paul said.
"Well? Is that it?" Jessie asked after he didn't say anything else.
"I don't know what you want me to say."
"Anything, what she wore, who she looked like. How she smiled, just... anything." She insisted.
Paul sighed... heavily. "Well I always thought she smelled nice... she wore this necklace that she never took off as well. I always thought it didn't belong on her." He said.
"Why?"
"Well the it was sliver, with the tiniest chain it was almost non existent. It also had a pendant, a snake. I remember always wondering why an angel like person didn't wear a heart shaped pendent instead. That would have suited her better." He said.
"What did she look like?" Jessie asked.
"Uh... I'm not sure I remember. It's been so long." Paul replied.
"Oh..." Jessie said, sounding disappointed.
"I think Jason has pictures though." Paul said. "I've seen them once, by accident. It was a mess, he was so angry. I never saw them again."
"Where are these pictures?" Jessie asked. "Did you see them in the Kang mansion?" She asked.
"No, it was pretty recent. I think about two years ago? He lived in the penthouse then."
"The penthouse? Do you think they are still there?" She asked.
"I suppose so... wait, I hope you not thinking of going there." Paul sat up straighter.
And Jessie gave him a sweet smile. "Thank you Paul you've been such a help." She smiled.
"Don't do it Jessie, don't break into his penthouse."
Jessie did a double take, acting overly dramatic. "What makes you think that?"
He yet again returned the pointed look. But this time she wasn't giving in. This time she would get to the bottom of things, figure out somehow what happened that day. What really happeed, since Jason's memories were unreliable.
She was getting to the bottom of this.
