Chapter 267: New place
I was going to lower his guard no matter what. I also wanted to encourage him to continue looking for Tony. Keeping Keith at bay and focused on the mission at hand was of important. Now that I was in communication with Louis I also had to be especially careful. The more kind and soft I was the more he was going to be willing to trust me and hopefully reduce his monitoring. But at the same time I felt I was betraying Louis.
If I was going to stick my plan I was unfortunately I was going have to through with this. I was going to have to get closer and closer to Keith. Hopefully I wouldn’t have to push too far before I found a way It’s just it was difficult.
“Were you able to sleep?” He then asked me.
He then grabbed me and pulled me down so I lying beside him. I shrieked in surprise. “Liar you haven’t slept I can tell.”
I smiled as I looked up at him. “You got me,” I told him.
“Lets both take a quick nap and then we can get back to work,” he told me.
Sure I agreed as he arms held onto me. I waited for him as his breathing slowly calmed.
My heart hammered in chest from the guilt I felt. Louis came to mind every time I touched Keith. Calm down Jasmine. Actors do this all the time. They kiss they touch but they go back to their real partners back home.
You’re playing a part, Jasmine. You can do this…but will Louis understand? I asked myself as my fear creeped in. And Louis
Keith fell asleep first but unfortunately he continued to hold onto me so I couldn’t leave him.
With my head facing away I looked at the large sliding door that opened up to a patio and balcony. Unlike my room that didn’t have a balcony, his did. I know Keith intentionally made it that way. If I could slide down from here this could be an escape option. It would be easier to try to jump off or slide down a balcony because of the railings

I hadn’t realised I had fallen asleep. I sat on the bed and saw Keith was gone. My eyes scanned the room wondering if he had left.
The digital clock on his dresser showed that it was 2 pm. So roughly I had slept for about four hours.
Suddenly the door of the bathroom opened and out came Keith as he wiped his head
“You’re awake,” he said as he came towards me.
“Yes,” I replied. “When did you wake up?”
“I only woke up a short while ago. I slept better than I have in weeks,” he told me.
“I’m glad to here that,” I told him in soft, calm voice.
His hand came up to my cheek and he gently caressed it. In his eyes I saw longing, hopefulness and desire all wrapped into one. His feelings were sincere.
Seeing that made a feeling of anger and frustration rise in me but I managed to keep it at bay. I was happy to see he believed my act but I also felt irritated by how
“So do we continue working?” I asked him.
“Yes,” he answered as he let my face go. ” Also my father will also be coming today to discuss Edward and Anthony,” he told me.
I got out of his bed and then we left his bedroom. We went to a sitting room and discussed
Keith called one of his aides to give an update on the
“Why is Edward so confident we won’t find Anthony, Keith?” I asked him the question I had been asking myself all night.
“He must be bluffing. He wants us to panic Once we find all his secret identities and properties
“Perhaps…” I agreed.
“I just still can’t believe for all these years Edward had been working against me. Right under my nose. It’s just shocking really.
That part also didn’t make sense to me I recalled. Edward has been after the Acland company before he even started working
There was a knock at by the entrance to the sitting room. Keith called out for them to enter. It was an aide.
“Sir, your father is here he’s waiting for you in your office,” the aide announced.
“Okay I’ll make my way now,” Keith replied then stood up. “I’ll be back soon,” he told me.
I nodded my head
My thoughts returned to the mystery surrounding E
My hand froze as I touched the door handle to Keith’s office.
“Keith, don’t tell me you’re actually considering doing it?” I heard his father say. “You found the culprit. You must focus on
“So if I don’t find him in the next week, father, what ?” Keith said back.
“Will you consider signing away the company?”
“No, of course not. I am focusing on finding Anthony right now that’s all,” he said.
“You will look for him but what if you don’t find him?” He asked him.
There was a pause.
I’m asking you this because I need to know what you’ll do. But what if you don’t find him in time?” His father continued with that line of questioning.
I recalled I had questioned Keith in a similar way the other day. He didn’t
I was hoping with the revelation that Edward was responsible that this meant
Keith’s father then scoffed. “Ridiculous. At the end of the day the company is more importnt”
My eyes widened in horror.
Oh my god. I thought to myself in horror. There was no way Keith was going to do that. That he was even possibly considering it would be beyond mortifying.
On the one hand I understand that givning up the company is a big gamble at the same time you cant just say you’ll give up like that.

I was completely taken aback. He looked like he had the strength to rip me apart only a moment ago.
