Sold? Oh Please - Chapter 214

“After that you have a meeting scheduled with Paradise.” Matt stated as he finished reading Jason’s schedule to him.

“Paradise? Ugh… why?” He frowned.

“Damage control. Mr. Choi was adamant about it, he also said that you should come with miss Marin if you can.” Matt replied.

Jason eyes shot up to Matt. “Jessie? Why the hell would I do that?” He spat.

Matt paused in thought, was he supposed to answer that?

“Leave I want no interrup-“.

“Hello fiance.” Patricia smiled seductively at him as she stood by the door, in a black skin tight free with a slit so high it revealed too much.

Jason almost groaned out loud, this was getting too hard. She sashyed towards him “I was going to knock but I didn’t find your secretary it’s appears that he’s right here.” She said as she sat.

“Nice to see you too Patricia.” Jason said, dismissing Matt. “What do I owe the pleasure?”

“I heard Jessie left prison.” She said going straight to the point.

It was supposed to be under wraps but he wasn’t surprised that she knew about it. What he was worried now was what she planned on doing with the information.

“And?”

“A very handsome man in a very expensive car picked her up. Care to explain?” She asked her tone never leaving that sing song tone it carried when she first greeted him but the threat was very visible as well.

“Ask me what you want to Patricia, I don’t have time for word games.” He said curtly.

She pursed her lips “do you love Jessie?” She asked.

“That a very strong emotion Patricia, are we lucky enough to feel it?” He asked. “Isn’t that the hidden price we pay for being so rich and influential?”

“I don’t know what more absurd, the fact that you believe in love or the fact that your think that rich people have a price to pay.” She said.

“Why ask me if I loved Jessie if you don’t think I believe in love?”

“Do you?”

“I do, but I have no reason to care for it. And I am yet to understand why my relationship with Jessie would affect you at all?” He said.

“I am your fiancee Jason, do you not think it’s not normal to even mention things like a relationship with someone else?”

Jason brow rose, “I know I’ve asked this before but do you like me? Patricia?”

“It shouldn’t matter, I hate that the man I’m marrying is having a relationship, whatever it is with my worst enemy.” She said.

Jason gave her an eerie smile “your relationship with Jessie does not concern me, neither does mine with her concern you. It’s not as though we are marrying for love so don’t get it mixed up.”

Patricia scoffed. “If only it was that black and white.”

“It is.”

“Well we’ll have to reconsider this entire engagement if that is how you feel.” Patricia blurted out.

Jason reaction, his only reaction was a brow raise. “Really? You want to break off the engagement?”

“Did I stutter?” She sneered.

Jason looked intently at her before he began to laugh. “What the hell is so funny?”

“No, it’s just… you think you have a choice. I’m the free one here, I’m the one choosing to marry you don’t get it wrong Patricia.” He said matter of factly.

Patricia face contorted into one of rage and anger.

“You’re not going to throw a fit are you?” Jason asked.

And Patricia slammed her fist on his desk. “Does this seem funny to you? Really? Does my life seem like a joke to you?”

“It doesn’t, not in the slightest. But you are the person making demands I’m just laying out the facts since you seem to have forgotten them for a bit.” Jason said. “So I’d advice you calm down and stop getting emotional. It’s going to do you know good.”

“This isn’t over Jason, it is not.” She said getting up and storming out of his office.

Leaving Jason groaning into his palms, what did he just do? He was supposed to be pacifying the beastess instead he lit the fire to her rage.

He just hoped her rage would be directed at him, not Jessie as impossible as it may seem

It was a race aganist time trying to beat traffic and still making it to work in time. Paul felt like anything was possible when he reached the hospital after he left his home from Jason’s manor. After changing clothes, strolling in like the boss he is he smiled at everyone as usual with an added extra, a wave.

As he approached his office he didn’t see his secretary behind her desk to give him his schedule, so he assumed she was probably just somewhere else at the moment. When in all truths she bent to pick a pen as she sat up he was already pushing his office door open.

“Wait si-” the sound of the slap echoing through out the small space of her office or cubicle what ever it was.

“I thought I raised you better that this!” Mrs. Song roared.

Paul turned around and gave her a blank look. She smiled weakly at him “your fiancee, mother and future mother in law are in your office.” She said meekly.

“Oh they are?” He asked sacarstically.

She just shyed away and took cover behind her desk as he walked into his office shutting the door firmly behind him.

“Mother.”

“What did you think you did? Was firing that witch not enough?” She huffed.

“Firing who? Don’t be absurd, like I’d ever fire Katherine.” He stated bluntly.

Choi Yuri laughed ruefully. “Paul don’t push me, don’t push your mother into doing something that we would both regret.” His mother threatened.

Paul brow rose “what’s that supposed to mean?”

“Exactly what you think.” She replied.

“You want to hurt Katherine?” He asked honestly, gauging how far his mother was willing to go.

“Try me.” His mother said. “Let’s go” she said to the ladies behind her. “Your engagement party is this evening don’t be late.” His mother spat.

Paul sighed and looked behind his mother. “Is this really what you want? Your groom to be dragged to the alter like this?” He asked Yuri.

“No, but if it’s what must happen then I guess we have no choice.” She said matter of factly. “Don’t be late.”
