Mission XX: Seducing The Great Seducer

"You want to drop me off?" Jasmine asked surprised to hear Jackson made such an offer to her.

"Thanks for the offer but you don't have to force yourself. Your hand is severely injured so you can't drive in that state. Moreover, I can just call my driver to pick me up," Jasmine rejected as she stares at his bandaged hands. She felt bad when she recalled that she was the reason he got injured.

"I can manage just fine. And I heard that accumulating a lot of good deeds helps in making peoples wishes come true so if you look at it in this dimension you will see that I am not doing this for you but myself. And I can manage just fine so you dont have to worry," Jackson said as he bent and pick up the car key from the table.

"Are you trying to accumulate a lot of good deeds because you want your wish of having the lady you love to become your woman?" Jasmine asked in a serious tone.

"Don't you think it is absurd for you to believe in such lies...,"

"Let's go," Jackson cut her short sharply as he approached the exit. Jasmine picked up her diamond pouch lying on the table before she hurried after him.

Inside the car, Jasmine shifted her gaze to Jackson after he had successfully driven out of the mansion.

"Ice Prince, what do you like so much about this lady you love? You do everything for her, is it worth it? What if she doesn't like you despite changing for her sake, won't it be disheartening?" Jasmine asked in a serious tone.

"I love everything about her and it is ok if she dislikes me at first. I know my heart will feel like it was stabbed by a thousand daggers but I think it is worth it since I am certain I will make her mine," Jackson whose gaze was on the busy street replied confidently.

"Her? This is what you keep calling her since I knew your feelings about her. Doesn't she have a name?" Jasmine asked anxiously.

"Her name starts with J, that is the only information I can give you," Jackson said seriously.

"Her name starts with J?" Jasmine asked acting like she was thinking.

"Is her name Josephine, Jose, Joy, Jasper or Joanna?" Jasmine asked with glittering eyes.

"No comment," Jackson replied.

Why didn't she add her name to the list? Does she perhaps think it is impossible for me to love her that is why she excluded her name from the list?

Jackson thought as he momentarily shifts his gaze to her before he focused it on the road again.

The two of them continue to talk until they got to the venue of Jasmine's meeting. The moment the black car stopped in front of a glass building with the name of the cafe boldly written, Jasmine stepped down from the car elegantly.

"I will be waiting for you until your meeting is over," Jackson said before she could close the door.

"I am accumulating good deeds, have you forgotten it?" Jackson asked when he saw her weird stares.

"Good luck on accumulating good deeds. I wish that your wishes will come true," Jasmine said before she turned and walk towards the automatic glass door.

As usual, the elegantly dressed Jasmine garnered a lot. She did not need to walk around for a long time before she sighted Elizabeth who was sitting at a table close to the glass walls. The anxious look on her face while staring at her gold wristwatch made Jasmine assumed that she might have waited for s long time.

"Hello, Lizzy," Jasmine remarked the instant she reached the table. Elizabeth raised her head when she heard the familiar voice.

"You are here," Elizabeth exclaimed. Jasmine sat down, pick up the menu. After she saw what was to her taste, she ordered before she shifted her attention to Elizabeth who has also just finished placing her orders.

"Why haven't you said anything? Other times, you don't wait until we place orders before you start scolding me so why is today different?" Jasmine asked curiously when Elizabeth just keeps on staring at her while uttering nothing

"I know you want to scold me because Alfred gave me flowers and a gift for the successful launching of The Gamers, ao go head because I am well prepared for this," Jasmine said as she straightened her back while adjusting her sitting position.

"I am not here to scold you. I called you here because I am something I have been trying to tell you. I couldn't tell you what I have in mind because you keep ignoring my calls. And even when I visited your office, your secretary always says you are in a meeting," Elizabeth complained in a bitter tone.

"But before that, I have something else to tell you...,"

"And what is that important thing you want to tell me?" Jasmine who noticed the change in her sisters tone and attitude while talking to her asked curiously. She was dying to know what important thing could make her sister treat her differently.

"I was so worried when my men informed me last night that you almost got stabbed. Out of anxiety that something terrible had happened to you, I had called you last night but you never answer my call...,"

"Did you just say you were worried about me?" Jasmine asked in puzzlement. She thought she misheard her sister's words.

"Yes," Elizabeth confirmed her doubts. The worried look on her face confirms that she was not lying.

"Lizzy, are you alright? I mean is your forehead feeling heated or do you feel sick in any part of your body?" Jasmine asked as she stretched forth her hand to touch Elizabeth's forehead.

"I am fine so behave properly," Elizabeth beats her hand away from her forehead when she saw how other customers were staring at them strangely.
