Mission XX: Seducing The Great Seducer

Chapter 100 - The One Month Deadline Finally Elapse

I have guessed before that Jasmine abhors men and her words right now has proved my suspicions. I wonder whether her parents really gave the man she loves to her elder sister in the past that is why she hates men. The news never mentioned this scandal about the Avans' family so I don't know who to ask questions.

Jackson thought his eyes focused on her angry expression. From the look on her face, he could tell how hard she was trying to calm herself down.

Jasmine and Catherine have been friends for a long time so I am sure she might know the reason she hates men and I am also sure that this same reason is the cause of how she has never wanted me close to Jasmine. What exactly happened to her years ago?

Jackson thought as he stares at her with a gaze that Jasmine could not understand its meaning.

"Ice Prince do you know that you are the strangest man I have ever met? How could you call me a kind person after what you passed through in my hands? Are you naturally stupid or you are pretending to be stupid?" Jasmine asked bluntly.

"Hearing you call me the strangest man you have ever met shows that you at least accord me with a bit importance and I am ok with that right now," These were the words he wanted to say to her but he dare not say it. He releases her afterwards. He stares at the lady standing in front of him. She wants nothing but her contract but he wants nothing but her. How far apart he was from getting what he wanted.

"You want the contract, right? I can give it to you but with conditions...," Jackson said as he accessed her with his eyes from her head to toe. Jasmine whose gaze was on him misunderstood his stares.

"Is this condition you mentioned my body?" Jasmine asked with gritted teeth.

"How I thought you were different from all the men I have met but I guess I made the wrong judgement of you. You are no different from them, all you men have ever wanted was my body. The most ridiculous thing is that some of them don't even know the price that comes with lusting after my body," Jasmine said as she threw him a spiteful gaze.

"You want my body and I will gladly give it to you just to prevent all my employees from becoming jobless overnight. I might be prideful but not heartless. As far as there is a solution to save them, I will do it without any regrets so bring it on Mr Jackson Smith," Jasmine said coldly as she began unbuttoning her shirts. This was the first time she has ever called him by his complete name and for some reason, it didn't sound pleasant to his ears.

Jackson just stares at her unable to utter a word. She was just too angry to see his surprised expression.

"Hey Jasmine, what kind of man do you think of me?" Jackson asked coldly.

"What else if not a self-conceited and a lustful man who will stoop so low to ask for my body in exchange for a contract," Jasmine replied in anger.

"You are very wrong about that Jasmine. I am nothing like you have just said. I never wanted to ask for you to have sex with me but you jumped to conclusions ok? If you have always thought that every man was after your body that is why you thought that is what I wanted. It is not my fault that you thought so little of me so don't you dare judge me," Jackson said angrily as he quickly turns his back on her. Although he didn't let it show, the truth was that her words pierced his heart like it was stabbed by a dagger.

"It would have been ok if some random lady had said those despicable words to me but not from you. It is just not acceptable. You wronged me so you have got no right to be angry with me," Jackson said as he made to leave but Jasmine quickly caught up to him.

"If you didn't want me to have sex with you then why were you staring at me like that and what exactly are your conditions...,"

"Why do you care, you can go ahead and continue to misunderstand me, I don't care...,"

"Ok, I admit I was wrong. You have never mistreated me sexually before so I shouldn't have said those words to you or even jump to a conclusion without listening to your conditions. I am sorry, Ice Prince so don't be mad," Jasmine apologised sincerely. No matter how sincere she was, Jackson didn't want to listen to it. Seeing her chase after him made his anger vanished.

"As if sorry can bring back the hurtful words you said to me," Jackson said as he gently brushed her away. He beamed after he has taken two steps away from her.

"Why is he throwing tantrums, I have said sorry so why is he making a big deal out of the misunderstanding. Besides with his temperament, he is not the type to get hurt even though I said worst words to him so why is he pretending to be very hurt by my words," Jasmine thought aloud to the hearing of Jackson who smiled hearing her words.

"If apologising with mere words isn't enough then would me kneeling make you see my sincerity? If yes, then I will do it without any delay, this is to show you how important that contract is. Whether or not you give me the contract will determine the fate of my employees so I can't be willful even though I hate it so I will kneel for you if that is what you...,"

"Who said I want you to kneel for me? If you dare kneel for me I will burn the contract to ashes...,"

"You wouldn't dare," Jasmine blurted out of shock.

"That is exactly who you are so stop acting pitiful because it doesn't suit you. It makes you look less attractive," Jackson said as he turned to face her.

"If you said kneeling for you make me less attractive that means there was a time you found me attractive right so tell me when was that? On our first, second, third or fourth meeting? Tell me, I want to recall what I wore that day that made the Almighty Ice Prince find me attractive?" Jasmine asked as she quickly covers the distance between them.

How come her mood changes so quickly. She was mad at me two minutes ago, a minute ago she was apologetic and now she is excitedly bombarding me with questions, how does she manage to do this?

Jackson thought as he stares at her glowing face.

"Why are you just staring at me, say it?" Jasmine ordered excitedly.

How do I tell her that I have always found her very attractive from the first day I set my eyes on her. There is no day she doesn't look attractive.

"Wouldn't you love to listen to my conditions first? I bet that information is more urgent than the one you are curious about right now," Jackson said not giving her the answers she wanted.

"Why did I even think that you would say anything? You are always secretive, even reading your feelings is impossible not to mention guessing your thoughts...,"

"I am not as secretive as you. You always have a lot to say but none of them contains the truth," Jackson interrupted her as he walked towards the white couch and sat down.

"Not all my words are necessarily lies, some of them may be sugarcoated but they are definitely not lies," Jasmine said as she sat beside him.

"So what are your conditions, Ice Prince? I have very little time left, so talk. I am listening," Jasmine urges him to speak when she realised that she just had two hours left before the deadline.

"My conditions are not difficult. My first condition is that you will cook my meals for six months....,"

"What!" Jasmine shouted in shock.

"Is it too simple for you?" Jackson asked pretending as though he did not know why she reacted that way.

She is the young Miss of the wealthiest family in the country. She has servants who serve her all year round. There are times she doesn't set foot into the kitchen for over three months and someone dare ask her to be his chef for not only a day but for an entire six months? How could she not react that way?

"You are joking about your first condition right?" Jasmine asked with desperation in her eyes.

"No, I am dead serious," Jackson said to the disappointment of Jasmine who was expecting him to say that he was just kidding around.

"Why is your first condition so outrageous? You could have asked me for any other thing but not cooking?" Jasmine complained bitterly.

"You can back out of it if you don't like it, I am not forcing you to know that," Jackson said in a carefree tone.
