Chapter 315 - Jeff Gave Catherine A Pet Name
"But...,"
"There is no but here. If you don\'t fight back it will allow her to keep on bullying you so do like I said. As long as she doesn\'t say hurtful words to you, disrespect you or question your character I know that you will never disrespect her in any way so it\'s ok. I will never blame you for this, I promise," Jackson said as he raised his hand to caress her face.
"Cheer up ok," Jackson said as he continued touching her face.
Back in Mrs Smith\'s car, she was seen dialling someone\'s line.
"Jane, what measures have you taken to win back my son\'s heart and make him yours or don\'t tell me you are still playing his employee in the office thereby forgetting the reason you left your family\'s prestigious company to come work under him?" Mrs Smith asked anxiously.
"Auntie, what is wrong? Why do you sound so furious?" Jane asked innocently?
"If you have come up with a plan, you better start executing it now before it\'s too late. The moment Jacky falls deeper into that lady\'s charms then I am sorry to say you will never have a place in his life so I advise you to speed up whatever plans you have because I don\'t want to see that Avans daughter around my son," Mrs Smith stated angrily before she abruptly disconnected the call.
"I wonder why Auntie sounded so angry," Jane thought aloud before she immediately go into a trance.
"Anyways no matter what got her so furious what she said is right. I need to speed up my plans so that Jack won\'t slip away from my fingers just like that," Jane thought before she dialled someone\'s line.
Meanwhile, Jackson took Jasmine back to her office since she insisted on going back. He could not follow her in since Max called to tell him that there was an emergency at the office.
Jasmine worked until office hours were over. Because of the appointment, she made with the ladies, she and Catherine did not spend even a minute more in the office.
They left the office on time so they could adequately prepare for their outing. When Catherine got home, she met Jeff in her apartment waiting for her.
"Jeff, you didn\'t tell me you were sleeping over tonight," Catherine sitting beside him said after she had hugged and kissed him.
"Why? Are you not happy I dropped over?" Jeff asked as he stare at her face.
"Of course I am happy to see you waiting at home for me but I am sorry I won\'t be able to spend time with you since I have an appointment," Catherine said before she stood up from the couch. Jeff instantly glance at his wristwatch to confirm what was the time when he heard Catherine say she still had an appointment.
"You still have an appointment by this time...,"
"Not that kind of appointment but with the ladies. We are going to the club to have some fun to celebrate us officially becoming friends with Evelyn," Catherine said before she approached her bedroom door. Jeff stood up and followed her.
"Weren\'t the four of you friends since on the last trip so what do your words mean...,"
"What do you even know? This is the ladies world," Evelyn said as she approached the door of her walk-in closet.
"Are the other guys aware of this?" Jeff asked as he followed her into her walk-in closet.
As an executive assistant, she often needs to follow her boss to important meetings and parties which is why she needs to have different collections of clothes and accessories.
Anyways everything in her walk-in closet wasn\'t bought with only her money. Her stubborn best friend always spoils her with clothes and other accessories each time they go shopping despite that she was always against it.
Jasmine never listens to her whenever her mind is made up that is why there was nothing she could do.
Maybe this was the benefit of having a rich stubborn friend who doesn\'t relent spending on those she loves.
In her walk-in closet, her shoes were neatly arranged in two long shoe rags that were almost as tall as the walls of the room. Most of her shoes were mainly high heels only a few are flats.
Her dresses were hung differently from where her suits and shirts were occupied.
Her jewellery and neckties had their section. A mere look at her walk-in closet and you will know at first glance that she is a neat lady.
"Erin, you haven\'t told me whether the guys are coming," Jeff said as he held her hand and turn her around.
"Erin?" Catherine asked as she stare at his face for explanations.
"Erin is the pet name I have decided to give you. It will distinguish how others address you. When you hear the word \'Erin\' you will always know that I am the one calling you," Jeff explained as he smiles at her.
"Wow, that is nice. So what do you think about me calling you Frey from your name Jeffrey as a nickname?" Catherine asked with glittering eyes.
"Frey," Jeffrey repeated acting like he was thinking.
"Sure, I would love to hear you address me as such starting from now," Jeff smiled as he raised his hand and caress her soft spotless cheeks.
Just then he recall that Catherine did not give a response to his earlier question.
"You keep diverting my mind from my earlier question. Are the guys joining you ladies in the club?" Jeff asked the question on his mind.
"Jasmine called to tell me that a guy is indeed joining us but unfortunately it\'s none of you," Catherine said as she turned to head to the section where her club outfits were hung but Jeff quickly held her hand and drag her backwards.
As a result of the pull, she ended up bumping into him slightly with no space between them. He quickly placed his left hand around her waist when she made to run away because of their closeness.
