Revenge On The Scumbags

***

Jasmine admired herself on the mirror again and smiled feeling satisfied at what sgmhe was seeing. She took in a deep breath and went into the elevator. She clicked on the button headed to the ground floor and got there in no time.

She walked out of the company and saw Leonard resting gracefully at the edge of his car. He seemed like he was waiting for someone.

“Leonard.” Jasmine called him and he raised his eyes to meet hers.

He smiled happily and walked to meet her. She hugged him happily while he chuckled and hugged her back.

“I missed you so much.” She said happily.

“I was gone for only two weeks.” He answered chuckling.

“So?? Is it bad for me to miss you that much?” She withdrew from the hug and stared at him waringly.

“No. Not at all.” He answered making Jasmine smile again.

“Where’s Rosalie??” He asked looking around for her.

“She has left already. Why are you looking for her??” Jasmine asked.

“I wanted to let her know that I am back.” He answered.

“Why didn’t you just tell her like you told me??” She asked waving her phone at his face.

“Ohh. I wanted to surprise her but it seems like it won’t go the way I planned it out.” He said still glancing around.

Jasmine felt her heart tightened in her chest and she forced out a smile.

“So he actually came here for Rosalie and not me??” She asked herself sadly.

“Well I’m here already and Rosalie has gone home so can we leave?” She asked trying to shake the negative thoughts from her head.

“Uhm okay.” He took one final glance around and walked her to his car.

He opened the passenger’s door for her and helped her enter like a gentleman before going around to seat on the driver’s seat.

Anyone that sees them now would think that they are the oerfect couple but only Jasmine knew that that was just a fantasy. She had loved him for a long time now but he only had eyes for Rosalie.

That thought alone was enough to make her heart shatter into a million tiny pieces. After all she had done to make him notice her.

The car was filled with a comfortable silence. Jasmine sat quietly in the car while looking out the window. The car finally stopped and she glanced around to see that they were in front of a restaurant.

She sighed heavily.

“Let’s just enjoy the night and forget that something is wrong.” She muttered rubbing her chest.

“Did you just say something??” She heard and turned to stare at Leonard.

“Uhm no. Let’s go in.” She said and opened the car door to avoid more questions.

Leonard nodded and walked out of the car. They walked side by sude into the restaurant. A waiter came out to greet them.

“Welcome to Casa Corazon. Do you have a reservation??” The waiter asked smilling.

“Yes. It’s under the name Leonard Sivan.” Leonard answered.

The waiter smiled and said;

“This way please.”

He led them to their table and took their orders.

Jasmine smiled and looked around. The restaurant was really beautiful. It would have been better if he had prepared it for her but she knows it’s just a wish. She can never compete with Rosalie for his heart.

“Here’s your food.” The waiter placed their orders on the table and left. Jasmine wasted no time and started eating.

“So how’s busines??” Leonard asked breaking the silence.

“It’s going smoothly. We just signed a multi billion contract with Tyler Hemsworth.” Jasmine answered smiling happily.

“Really?? I’m happy for you.” Leonard said.

“Thank you.” She answered.

“Jasmine, I have a favour to ask of you.” Leonard suddenly asked.

“What is it?” Jasmine asked listening attentively.

“It’s about Rosalie…..”

Jasmine’s face turned sour at his statement. She already knew what he was going to ask. She had decided to just enjoy the night but he chose to ruin it for her.

She took in s deep breath and managed to ask;

“What about her??”

“I’m planning a surprise for her and since you are her friend, I wanted to ask you some questions.” He said.

“Like what??” Jasmine asked stating at her food like it’s the most important thing in the world.

“Her likes and dislikes. I’m planning on making her my woman.” He said.

Jasmine felt her already broken her break into more pieces. She had expected him to say that but she wasn’t prepared for the outcome. She felt tears at the corner of her eyes, threatening to burst out but she blinked it away.

“So what do you say?” Leonard ask after noticing she had been silent for a while.

“What makes you think she will think of you as an admirer? You know how many guys she has rejected. I just don’t want you to get hurt.” Jasmine said.

“Don’t worry. That’s why I’m asking you, her closest friend. So help me and I’ll return the favour to you in the future.” He said staring at her hopefully.

“I don’t want any favour from you. I want to be your woman!!!” She wanted to scream out but she kept her cool.

“It wasn’t meant to be anyways.” She thought to herself.

“Rosalie likes….”

****

“Thank you so much Jasmine, you’re a life saver.” Leonard said smiling happily.

“You don’t need to thank me. I’m only doing this as your friend.” She said managing to release a fake smile.

“But still thank you so much.” Leonard said.

“Do you like Rosalie that much.” Jasmine asked.

She already knew the answer but she just wanted to hear it from him.

“No I don’t like her. I love her and I’ll do anything to make her mine.” He answered confidently.

“Okay then. I wish you good lock on your love quest.” Jasmine answered and stood up.

“Are you leaving now??” Leonard asked.

“Yes.” She asnwered.

“But you haven’t finished your food yet.” He said.

“It’s getting late and I’m feeling tired.” She answered faking a yawn.

“Oh okay. I’ll take you home.” Leonard said and wanted to stand up but Jasmine stopped him.

“Don’t worry. I’ll just take a taxi.” Jasmine said and walked out hurriedly.

She couldn’t bare to stay with him for another moment or she will spill all her feelings for him and end up embarrassing herself.

She walked out of the restaurant and boarded a taxi.

“Where to miss.” The taxi driver asked after she had settled in.

“Any club around.” She answered.

He nodded his head and zoomed off.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
