My Mr. Perfect, Imperfect [Perfect Series, Book 1]

Chapter 53: Jade Cares

At BB Mall...

Mr. Walter Damian and his son were on their way to work when a thought came through his mind.

"You're early today."

"Yes. Something definitely feels off."

"What do you mean?" Walter turned to his son in concern.

"The price of BB Mall's shares are going up way too much. Don't you think?" Ace questioned.

"Well, that's the thing with stocks. Mr. Walter explained. Sometimes they go up and sometimes they go down. Don't worry. This is a good thing for us, anyway."

"You don't have to concern yourself with that. Instead, you should pay more attention to that scumbag!" Ace's dad added, as he eyed him and walked away.

With this, Ace wondered why his dad was so interested in finding out about his cousin's girl. He wanted to know too but he haven't been able to.

Meanwhile, Jade and Sapphire were served breakfast. On the table was Avocado toast along with scrambled eggs, oatmeal, coffee and berries.

"I wouldn't have to come here today if not for you!" Sapphire hissed silently, trying not to attract attention of other guests. "You're so stubborn!"

"Our hotel is famous for our breakfast. Many people come here just for that." Jade explained to Sapphire while the chief waiter served.

"Sure, sure. Whatever!"

"Wait, so...can't you eat alone over there by yourself?" She pointed to a distance.

"There's no single person that recognize you here, Fire. Also, I'm the one who has more to lose from the rumours, circulating but I don't care if people talk about me. I can't control their running mouths, anyway." He smiled awkwardly at her before taking a sip of the hot, seaming coffee.

"Well, that's not a surprise, since you've had scandals with so many women." She admitted and sipped water from an expensive looking Glass cup, to start her breakfast. Jade replied her with a stern look before eating.

Just then, Mr. Tim saw the both of them eating at the corner. Wanting to talk about business and know who the strange girl is, he quickly walked to Jade with his usual, fake smile on his face.

Sapphire looked away immediately her eyes caught him walking into their direction.

"Good morning sir. The general manager would like to see you for a bit." Mr Tim started.

Turning his eyes to Sapphire, like a car wiper but Sapphire threw her hair front to cover her face. She hurriedly faced the opposite corner, opening her tiny, hand bag and looking for something that wasn't even missing. She didn't want to be seen with Jade.

Jade caught Mr. Tim narrowing his eyes and decided to introduce the two.

"Umm.. This is Miss Sapphire Blac. We're involved in a serious relationship."

Sapphire frowned at him from the corner of her eyes, unbelievable. Wondering how bold he is about her to Mr. Tim.

"And this is Mr. Tim who calls me all the damn time..." Jade stopped knowing he wasn't supposed to use the word damn especially in her presence.

Their eyes met abruptly as Sapphire tugged her hair to the back of her ears. Revealing her beautiful face.

"I mean, ummm... The one who frequently calls me regarding work."

Mr. Tim brightened his smile as he bowed to her, respectfully.

Sapphire gently stood up and faced him. Then, she bowed to him too with a small smile on her face.
"You must be going through a lot."
