YM778.TV Chapter 146 - Why Are You Smiling?
Instead of feeling angry or sad, Jackson felt elated to be scolded by her. It is very rare to see her concern about anyone and seeing the worried look on her face while talking to him made him feel like he has won the lottery. He subconsciously smiled and unluckily for him, Jasmine saw it.
"Why are you smiling? What is so funny about what I said?" Jasmine asked sounding upset.
"Because this scene made me recall the past where my mum always nags my dad about skipping his meals. She always has the exact expression on your face," Jackson said smiling.
"Are you trying to say that I look like a wife nagging her husband?" Jasmine asked in realisation.
"You said it, not me," Jackson said to the disbelief of Jasmine.
"Ice Prince, just be thankful that you got injured on my behalf because that is the only reason you got to see this side of me. If you had gotten injured because of your negligence, even though you were to collapse in front of me I wouldn\'t have assisted you," Jasmine said as she turned to leave.
"If getting injured on your behalf is the only way I will get to see you act this way then I don\'t mind getting hurt every day on your behalf," Jackson mumbled.
"What did you say?" Jasmine turned and shot him a murderous glance when she heard him murmured something she couldn\'t hear properly.
"I said preparing dinner is not so important but the most pressing issue here is my hair," Jackson lied without batting an eyelid.
Jasmine walked back to the couch when she saw how serious he was.
"What do you mean?" Jasmine said her gaze focused on him.
"I managed to shower these two days with great difficulty but I couldn\'t do the same thing with my hair. I hate it when I don\'t wash my hair for a day so will you help me with it?" Jackson asked in a serious tone.
"If you had difficulty bathing and washing your hair, you have the services of so many maids so why didn\'t you call the attention of any of them? Are all your workers here for decorations?" Jasmine scolded firmly.
"Are you saying that I should have let my maids bathe me just because I am injured? Do you know how insane that sounds?" Jackson asked.
"What is so insane about that?" Jasmine asked without thinking.
"Jasmine, are you trying to say that you will be cool if your maid watches your husband naked. And not only that but also touch those regions which should have been touched by only you? You wouldn\'t care even though they ended up making out in your bathroom because of this?" Jackson asked staring into her blue eyes. It was after he said these words that she understood the implications of what she had said.
"Anyone who dares covet what is mine is bound to have a terrible ending. And I will always be there to take care of my husband\'s needs, so why will a maid dares to go close to our bathroom when he is showering?" Jasmine said with confidence.
"If you are so overprotective about your imaginary husband then why do you want me to do something you would never...,"
"Maybe I didn\'t care to think that further because you are neither my imaginary husband nor my lover," Jasmine shut him up with her words.
"Go shower now, after checking up on Lilian in the kitchen I will come to help you out," Jasmine said before she stood up and went to the kitchen. Jackson went upstairs almost immediately.
On entering the kitchen she met Lilian instructing the chef. The moment the two people saw her, they greeted her politely just like their boss had instructed them.
"Lilian, doesn\'t your boss pay you guys handsomely well?" Jasmine asked the lady wearing a blue gown which serves as one out of the many uniforms they have.
"Young Master pays all his employees well," Lilian standing in the middle of the kitchen said. The chef whom she was previously talking to continue with what he was doing.
"If he pays all of you well then why are you all not doing your job properly?" Jasmine scolded to the shock of the young lady who didn\'t understand what Jasmine meant. The chef\'s hands began trembling on hearing Jasmine\'s angry words.
The day she complains about any of you is the day such a person will cease working in my mansion, got it?
Jackson\'s stern words replaced the chef\'s head. He could not believe that such a day has actually come.
"Young Miss, what do you mean? Did any of the maids made you angry or did any of them treated you poorly? If such is the case you can tell me. I will make sure a person faces the due punishment," the nervous Lilian said as she tried not to give away her fears. Even she vividly recalls her boss warnings. If any of the maids dare mistreat Jasmine, she will be the one to first get punished since she is charged with disciplining the maids. She could still recall each of his instructions vividly. For fear that other maids might offend Jasmine, she has always taken it upon herself to serve Jasmine each time she visits the mansion but now all her hard work is ruined.
"Are you saying you are gonna face the punishments along with every employee in this mansion for neglecting your boss?" Jasmine asked in a firm tone.
"Lilian, your boss hand is injured so how could you guys not pay extra attention to him? What annoys me most is that he hasn\'t eaten and yet none of you is bothered about it. Is that how all of you in this mansion takes care of the man who issues your paycheck every month?" Jasmine asked in a serious tone. Lilian\'s pounding heart became relaxed when she understood why Jasmine was angry.
Thank goodness, she wasn\'t the one who was inconvenienced but the boss!
Lilian thought in relief.
"Young Miss, it is not that we don\'t want to take good care of him but the problem is that he doesn\'t want us to take care of him. He has warned us never to enter his room except when we want to clean his room and he has also instructed us not to come close to him except he calls for us. Nobody dares disobey any of his instructions. You might not know but everyone in the mansion is scared of him," Lilian said honestly.
"Is he that scary? I mean even though I make mistakes he doesn\'t scold me. I break several of his rules but never has he shouts at me and I haven\'t seen him reprimand any of you before so why are you so scared of your boss who looks nothing but friendly?" Jasmine asked looking confused.
"Because you are an exception," the chef blurted out to the further confusion of Jasmine. Lilian turned and shot the chef a murderous glance when he heard what he has just said.
"Why am I an exception, I don\'t understand you," Jasmine said as she stares at the chef for an explanation.
"Because he doesn\'t see you as his employee but a guest," Lilian blurted out.
Even without their boss telling them that he likes Jasmine, they all knew that he has feelings for her. Anyways how could they not guess his inner feelings when he acts like a totally different person when the Young Miss drops by at the mansion. The way he interacts with her or even stares at her makes his feelings so obvious. Even the most stupid person working for him will know that their aloof Young Master does not only treats the beautiful Young Miss exceptionally well but loves her.
"Really? But I don\'t think that is what he meant. I feel like there is more to his words," Jasmine said not believing what Lilian said.
"Ken, isn\'t that what you meant?" Lilian asked. Her tone and expression carried a hint of threat in them.
"What else would I have mean. I meant that boss does not only see you as his guest but also his friend that is why he treats you specially. Only women who hold so much importance to the boss enters the mansion and since I have started working here only three women enter this mansion and you are one of them," the stupid chef drifted to another dimension. The angry Lilian felt like sewing his mouth together for daring to spew so much nonsense.
"Three women? What do you mean?" Jasmine asked?
