Chapter 45 Blackmail
Kingsley’s phone rang, breaking the ice and he connected the call. "Hello."
Mrs. Jenkins’s voice came from the other end, a hint of excitement In her tone as she stated. "Good morning, Boss Elm. I just called to inform you that my husband’s health has been stable and he is recovering very fine."
An unfamiliar Genuine smile spread across his face, making Jasmine pause in her chewing, her eyes locked on his face. Aside from those forced grins, cocky smirks,this was the real genuine smile that came naturally.
"That’s good news. Does he need anything?? I can ask Elliot to bring it over." Kingsley suggested.
Mrs Jenkins bubbled. "No, we are all good here, Sir. You have been supportive throughout the whole process."
Jasmine was able to pick out some of the things Mrs Jenkins was saying and it made a sweet feeling spread across her chest.
She couldn’t help but think how Kingsley values Mrs Jenkins and her family. He was nice to people—maybe not everyone but the people around him. This person was nothing compared to the devil the public paints him to be.
With that smile on his face, his soft tone as he addressed Mrs. Jenkins, all of the actions that he had made since she got married to him—everything screams out ’Nicety’.
After the call ended, Kingsley dropped the phone and that smile was gone. As if it was never there. His face became blank as he grabbed his fork and told her. "Mrs Jenkins might be returning earlier than I thought."
Jasmine couldn’t make out his words because her eyes were glued on his hair, those perfectly dark hair...the impulse to run her fingers through his hair was great.
’How many women have run their hands through it?’
