Chapter 345 - The Couple At The Limelight
"Gosh, you almost made me suffer from a panic attack," Felicia muttered before she walked away. Paul followed her closely.
Inside the room, Jackson and Jasmine both freshened up and got ready for the party which has already begun.
Jackson was the first person to finish dressing up. He patiently waited for his woman to get ready. After she was done she entered the dressing room to get the shoes she had selected.
When she came out wearing white sparkling diamond high heels Jackson rushed to her side.
"Miss Naughty, your leg hasn't even recovered fully and yet you want to wear high heels to the party, are you not afraid of the immense pains you are going to suffer from?" Jackson asked he carefully carried her to the bed.
"No matter how painful my leg is I can't wear flats to the party, you know very well that I am not a big fan of flat shoes," Jasmine wearing a red dress which had a few strips of white at the waist and both sides said seriously.
"Also, you know that I can't change my mind about going to the party since I had already given Evelyn my words," Jasmine said as she bent and massaged her hurting foot.
"But you don't necessarily have to wear heels. You can make compromises since your leg is injured...,"
"Don't worry I will be fine. Besides I have my caring boyfriend to take good care of me so there is nothing to be afraid of," Jasmine said as she smiled at him. Jackson kept on trying to persuade her to change shoes but Jasmine did not change her mind about wearing high heels.
After some minutes, the duo set out for the venue of the party which was held in one of the popular hotels in the City.
At the front of the huge hotel, Jasmine was surprised when she saw from afar that there was red carpets.
Gosh, Evelyn never told me that there was gonna be red carpets. I did not prepare myself to get questioned by those annoying reporters who are dying to get exclusive news tonight.
Jasmine thought. For some reason, her hands became all sweaty.
"Don't worry I am here, I will protect you," Jackson assured when he saw the worried look on her beautiful face.
"Act like you have always done and everything will be ok," Jackson added as he beamed at her. His beautiful smile helped her to relax.
After the car stopped in front of the red carpets, they both waited for Thomas to go open the door of the car for them.
Jackson sitting close to the door was the first to majestically step out of the car. The reporters scrambled to take pictures from all angles.
They all patiently waited to see who was his partner tonight. Jasmine climbed out of the car, one leg first. Her glittering diamond shoes was enough to get the attention of all the reporters.
When she fully stepped out of the car, the reporters all went crazy trying to not only take her pictures but to ask her questions.
"Miss Jasmine is it really true that you and CEO Jackson are a couple?"
"Did you two-time the two friends like the rumour says or did Young Master Allen dump you?"
"Is this love or is CEO Jackson your new target?"
"Is it true that Mrs Smith doesn't want you for her son because of your bad reputation?"
"CEO Jackson, what becomes of Young Miss Allen now that you have chosen CEO Jasmine?"
"Did you fortify your engagement with Miss Allen because you couldn't help but succumb to Miss Jasmine's seduction?"
These were some of the annoying questions and many more that the reporters asked them. Their questions almost made Jackson lose his cool had Jasmine not grabbed hold of his hands firmly.
Despite all the annoying questions the reporters threw at Jasmine, her beautiful smile never left her beautiful face.
As if being the centre of attention outside wasn't enough, stepping into the hall all eyes were on the newly arrived couples.
Jane who had arrived with her friend clenched her fist when she saw how Jasmine and Jackson were in the spotlight.
"The person standing beside him right now should have been me not her but she stole my spotlight from me. I hate her with everything in me and I will make her pay dearly for taking away things that should have been mine," Jane standing beside Rose said with a clasped fist and clenched teeth.
"I know you are angry but you need to keep your temper in check, don't forget they are so many eyes watching," Rose advised in low tones.
Somewhere in the hall, a beautiful young lady frowned at the sight of the smiling Jasmine holding tightly onto a tall devilishly handsome guy wearing a white suit that had a touch of red to perfectly match the lady's outfit.
"I hate the fact that she always gets all the best things of life without having to work hard for any of them whereby people like me have to work my ass off to get what I want, why? Why are the heavens so unfair that they always favour her in everything? What is so special about her," Samantha muttered as her grip around the wine glass tightened.
"Since because of her I couldn't get a happy life and the man I love then I won't let her live happily also. I will make sure she suffers from heartache just like I am suffering right now, it's a promise," Samantha mumbled before she gulped down the entire content of the glass.
The moment she wanted to look away, her gaze met the lady in a pink dress standing at the opposite side of the hall glaring at someone she didn't know.
Curious to know whom the beautiful lady was throwing such hate gaze at she quickly followed her line of sight.
Samantha's lips curled into a sly smile when she realised that it was Jasmine the beautiful lady was staring at.
