Chapter 88 Men Can Be Unreliable
The next few days went in a blur for Jasmine. She couldn’t comprehend how she spent every day. She was always in and out of the office. From Nicole’s apartment to the office and from the office to Nicole’s apartment.
She got no calls or texts from Kingsley. He was doing ’great’ without her.
Her mom had called because apparently—they’d been informed. I mean, who doesn’t know??
The news of their divorce after Jack’s downfall was out in the public. Jasmine’s finger lacked the presence of a ring so some reporters found some juicy gossip from it.
She received weird gazes from people but that was the least of her concerns. Her major concern was how to get better. How to heal from the emotional damage and also heal from this—fever, maybe.
For days, she had been feeling nauseous and sick. She lost her appetite and the sickening feelings that kept crawling up her chest were too much.
Nicole sighed as she stared at Jasmine who was helping Hailey braid her hair. The two women now seemed like co-parents. Jasmine would have easily rented her own apartment from her salary but Nicole somehow changed her mind about it. Coupled with the fact that she was ill a little too. It was enough reason to stay where others could keep an eye on her.
"You shouldn’t be stressing out," Nicole said as she munched on the popcorn while watching TV.
Jasmine winced a little. "I’m not handicapped. Just a little feverish." She smirked when she saw the braids she had made. If that was the only thing she knew how to do aside from working behind a desk all day long. It somehow compensated for her lack of cooking abilities. "I’ll be fine." She muttered.
Silence reigned, just the sounds from the TV echoed in the room. Hailey asked questions regarding the movie which makes Nicole sometimes snap.
Jasmine was done with the braiding, she chuckled in excitement. "All done now." She whistled. It was just one of the moments where she was genuinely happy or rather—it was her trying to press a sickening feeling down her chest.
