"There is no way Jasmine would not come. Have you forgotten that she only has five days left before the deadline? Even though it's just a day she wouldn't want to miss the opportunity of seducing me to get me to hand over the contract to her so I am sure that she is coming," Jackson said firmly. The way he wasn't anxious made Jeff surprise.

"And what if your analysis is wrong? What if she doesn't come, what will you do?" Jeff asked in a serious tone. He stares at Jeff's face to see what his reaction will be.

"I am sure she will come. She must come," Jackson said fiercely. His gaze and tone show that Jasmine not showing up wasn't an option for him. Jeff wanted to talk again but Steve sitting beside him quickly stop him.

"Jeff, I know you are doing this for his good. You want to prepare his mind for the worst outcome but I advise that you don't say anything about Jasmine not coming. You know he can't seem to control his emotions when it comes to her, your words will only agitate him so let it be," Steve whispered into his ears.

"Ok, I won't," Jeff replied.

"Yeah, I agree she won't let the gutsy thief who dares to steal from her get a peaceful day," Jeff said playfully before he continues searching for any sign of Jasmine. What they did not know was that Jasmine was sitting some distance away from them.

As anxious as Jackson and the two duos were so also was Jasmine and Catherine. They both gave up hopes of meeting each other after they boarded the plane. The flight did not take up to an hour.

"Damn him, I can't believe he deceived me. When I get back I am gonna make sure I strip him as an act of revenge for standing me up," Jasmine said angrily after they came down from the plane at their destination.

"And not only him, but I will also tease the three best friends in public until they are hard down there....,"

"Boss, can you not say all these here. People are listening for heaven sake," Catherine said nudging her boss when she realised that people are staring at them.

"Ok, but believe me I am gonna do those things I have just said. When I am done with them they will take to their heels whenever they get a glimpse of my face," Jasmine said with gritted teeth. They both headed towards the exit. The moment they left, Jackson and his friends surfaced.

"I took on this business because I wanted to take her on a trip...,"

"And we followed you because we wanted to witness the thrilling event that will happen between the two of you. I was so ready to laugh my heart out on this trip, I can't believe that will not happen," Jeff said as he followed him closely.

"I am gonna have my revenge on her," Jackson said fiercely.

"How?" Jeff and Steve choruses.

"I will kiss her and not just a mere kiss but a very passionate one. I will kiss her until she melts under my touch. I don't believe she won't fall in love with me after I do that," Jackson said seriously. Jeff burst into a peal of deafening laughter when he heard Jackson's words. Even when he realised that his laughter was attracting others attention he continues to laugh.

He only suppressed it when the already angry Jackson shot him a murderous glare.

"JK, tell me, how you are gonna do that when she is always the one who takes advantage of you? I won't be surprised if instead of making her fall in love with you by kissing her you ended up being raped by her," Jeff said smiling. Steve chuckled when he heard Jeff's naughty but truthful words. He agreed with his words a hundred per cent.

"And don't forget you will definitely get addicted to her sweetness if you taste her for the first time. Being addicted to her only means that you will become her slave for a lifetime. There will be no Mrs Jasmine Jackson if that happens so I advise you refrain from getting dirty thoughts for her just yet," Jeff said before he hurried away. He was certain that Jackson will punch him hard in the face if he remains there.

"Jack, I agree with Jeff's words a hundred per cent. If you can't control your emotions for her whenever you are with her, I advise that you avoid any intimacy with her because instead of love, lust is what you will end up getting from her," Steve said in a serious tone. After thinking about what he said, Jackson ended up realising that they were right. When they got outside, a car was already waiting for them.

The car took them to their final destination. Jasmine and Catherine arrived in the five-star hotel. Jackson and his friends arrived minutes later.

Later that day Jasmine was standing at the window staring at the beach when her eyes got a glimpse of a familiar face.

Wow! He is here, finally!

Jasmine thought elatedly. She turned to hurry downstairs.

"Boss, are you wearing that outside? You might catch a cold wearing so little," Catherine sitting idly on the couch playing with her phone said when she saw Jasmine heading towards the entrance. The red shorts she wore exposes partially all her thighs. Even the off-shoulder white crop top she was wearing exposed her navel. 

Catherine stares at her best friend and boss for answers.
