Chapter 49

“When the meeting is done.” She answered and I look at her in disbelief.

“Who he is with inside?” I raise my left eyebrow on her.

“It’s Ma’am Musa.”

So, it’s a woman, huh. I smirked. And who’s that Musa?

“What are they talking about?” I asked like a boss.

“Uhmm, Ma’am Layla you can wait sir Jase until he is done.” She said politely on me but I am being impatient.

She didn’t answer my question.

“Tell him that I am here!” I roared.

She flinched.

“Ma’am-”

“No buts! Tell him now!”

“Sir might scold me…” she looks scared.

“I will take care of you.” I assure her.

“But Ma’am Layla…”

I waited on her but she didn’t made any move. This woman is trying me.

I entered his office and she can’t stops me.

“Ma’am!”

I heard her called me.

I saw Jase and a small woman talking and laughing. They seem happy and having a good time. That woman is look simple and holding a cup of coffee in her right hand. She’s sitting in front of Jase. she doesn’t wearing a make up and dress in a simple way. She’s so plain in my eyes.

“Sir, sorry I can’t stop Ma’am Layla… she suddenly came in and I tried to stop her.” His secretary reported to him.

How dare this woman to treated me like this.

“It’s okay, you can leave us.” Jase said to his secretary.

I came near them, “Jase who is she?” I sat besides him while I am not taking away my glare in the woman.

“Layla what are you doing here? We’re discussing a private matters.” Jase said to me calmly.

So, now I am not allowed to come in because of this woman?

“Hi…” I look at her when she greeted with a genuine smile.

I am not smiling at her. She is flirting with Jase.

“Layla… please wait me outside.” He murmured to my ears.

“Hi, I am Layla, Jase fiancé.” I introduce myself.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Musa.” This woman is still smiling at me.

This is the woman that those employees are talking about.

“Since I am his fiancé and we will get married soon, maybe I can stay here, right? It’s fine with you? I am pregnant with our first child and I don’t want to get out of my sight to him.” I said to her.

I wanna hear what they are talking about.

“Layla…” Jase warned me and he widened his eyes on me. I winked on him.

“Sure, sure!” Musa smiled at me again. She looks warm and welcoming.

What does Jase like about her, eh, she’s a boring and plain woman.

“Let’s get back to the conversation. Where are we again?” Jase ask her.

I stayed my gazed on that woman.

“I’ll tell this about my brother, he sent me here for me to train and.” She smiled playfully. “Looking forward for our partnerships in the future.”

“If you need help in your business I can help you.” Jase put down the iPad he had been holding. “And besides I see a potential to you and maybe, become my business partner in the future.”

What the hell?!

Does Jase like this woman?

Musa nodded her head on him, “I’m just starting and besides it’s a small business unlike to my brother that handling a big company. We’re helping each other. He was away so he asked me to come for him.” Musa explained.

I listen carefully to what they are talking about and this Musa girl didn’t make any actions to flirt Jase, she behave herself.. Hhmm, it’s good that she understand the assignment.

“Uhmm, I need to go since we already talk about the contract. I’ll pursue my brother not to terminate it.” Musa started to fix her things.

I rolled my eyes. What a plastic woman, she’s just hiding her true colors.

“Let me sent you out.”

My eyes widened. Jase never send me out. What special in this woman?! It seem I already have rival in love.

“I appreciate it but it not necessary.” She bit her lower lip, “it’s my honor to be here and meet the owner of this company.” She smiled shyly.

Jase what about to offer again when I interrupted.

“We have still have a lunch date, right bubu?” I smile sweetly to him.

“Thank you again.” She smile sweetly before she left us.

I hate those women acted shy and naive, like Shielyn. They are hiding their colors and acted a weak in front of everyone.

“What was that?” Jase eyebrow creased and he stand up.

“Who’s that woman?!” I shouted at him.

“If you are going to have a fight with me, might as well leave my company.” He walk in his working desk and sat in his swivel chair.

“Is she your girlfriend?”

He look at me.

“My love life has nothing with you.” He said heartless.

“But, you know that I love you… why don’t you love me back?”

He look at me for a minute.

“Let me tell you this straight Layla… no matter what you are going to do I won’t love you back and you don’t have a chance to me. I don’t have any plans to settle down. Love is no room to my life.”

He return his gaze to his laptop and started to type on it.

“Why? Am I not loveable? Attractable? I am famous model and I am talented and skills… besides everyone says that we are look good together…” I said weakly.

He rejected my confession to him.

I heard no answer from him.

“Did you like that woman Jase?” he stops from what he is doing.

“Jase! Answer me!” I shouted.

“It has nothing to do with you Layla.”

What?

“I hate you! You are always giving me a hope and when a minute you change your mind.” I cried almost crying. “Why are you treating me like that? There are times you are sweet and care for me. I felt too that you like me…”

“I am like that to everyone.” He is shutting me down.

I kneel down, “Jase all I ask is a love from you why can’t you give it to me? Is that because of my cousin? Am I hard to love? I confessed and you rejected me.” It feels hurt.

I really really like him.

We heard a knocked and I stand up.

“Sir…” His secretary look at me and return his gaze at his boss, “ma’am Musa is here again. She ask if she her wallet is in your office.”

I look at the center table here.

I smirked.

“Let her come in.”

That woman! She likes Jase and reason that she forgot her wallet wherein it’s not a accident.

“I’m sorry, I forgot my wallet.” She showed up and get her wallet from the table. “I’m already in the taxi when I remember that my wallet wasn’t with me. I’m hoping that it was here and I felt relieve.”

When she notice me she look at me and smile.

“You are communicating? Your brother is one of my best partner and one of the of the board member, why he didn’t get you a driver? It’s not safe to ride a taxi Musa.”

“No! No! It’s okay and I don’t want to disturb my brother and besides I still go to the other company he ask me.”

“Exactly, I am going to. Let me drop you there.”

I’m listening to them.

“No! Sir Jase it’s okay. I can handle myself. I already disturb you because of my short term memory lost.”

Jase stands up and go with her.

“C’mon, I insist. I feel bad you are rejecting my offer.”

“It’s not that… but, uhm. Okay I will accept your offer.” Musa shyly said to Jase.

And they left me here.

I clenched my fist hardly.

Jase offer that woman a ride where in he never offered me for once. There’s something special to that woman.

They can’t be together! I am going to ruin what they have! In the first place, Jase was originally mine and I won’t let anyone steal him from me.!

Jase never look at me, he ignored me for that woman.

“BROTHER! Brother!” I rush to my cousin Kier when I saw him. I had a hard to find him and he just in the house. I came in his house and no one was there.

“Brother! Brother help me!” I shake his hand.

He is drinking again.

He look at me lifelessly.

“Stop pestering me Layla.” He warned me calmly and he neglected my hand on his.

“Brother help me!” I cried desperately.

“It’s J-jase! Brother Jase likes someone!” I cried on him.

“Layla, if this is about to Jase and your craziness with him I don’t have a time for that and I am not in the mood.”

“Brother!” I called him sadly.

“Please, just this one, arrange a marriage for us! I wanna get us married! He is liking someone else! I don’t want that to happen! Brother!” I shake him.

I keep on begging me.

“I don’t won’t that Layla. You know that I don’t want to have a relationships with my friends!”

I look down.

“I promise,” I raise my left hand, “this will be my last wish to you and I won’t ask anymore.” I am really desperate.

I know brother can make it possible in his way. He is genius and good at everything. He is my idol and he always save me. He always grant my wish too.

“Stop pestering me with your stupidness Layla, I won’t help you. Don’t try to persuade me because you won’t won.”

“This is not stupidness and craziness!” I snarl at him, “Jase is liking someone, and what do you want me to do?! Celebrate it?! And let them be together?!” I can’t stop myself from shouting.

He didn’t answer me and he continue drinking.

“Brother!” I called him angrily. I stomped my feet in annoyance.

“Jase wouldn’t like you because of your childish attitude.” He said emotionless.

I am being myself, what’s wrong with that? And why they like about those plastics people?

“Okay fine! If you don’t want to help me then I will be the one to make a way!” I said desperately while thinking about a plan. I already have an idea.

I will make sure that the plan of mine will be go smoothly.

“I will get him using a sword.” I whispered.

Jase I have been for you and maybe it’s already time to make a move to make you mine. I know that you will learn to love me and you’re just making it hard for me. I will makes sure that the universe will agree on me. We will be together in the end.

If we wouldn't be together I will force it, if I need to use sword I will do just to get you.

I smirked while leaving the house.

“WHAT do you need?”
