Jasmine was the little princess of the Mu Family, and she had inherited all of her parents' best attributes, growing into a beautiful girl. She was both beautiful and wise, though she chose not to apply herself to serious studies due to her whimsical nature.
She had long and curly eyelashes, which looked so delicate as to be mistaken for fake. Though only sixteen years old, she had already shaped into a classical hourglass figure. She was an object of desire to most men with her supermodel figure and divine features, but she was a perfect example of self-willed innocence.
Jasmine came and went freely at the FX International Group with attentive looks upon each visit. This time she drew much notice from all corners, as she wore a white smock, draped beautifully from her shoulders, and hot pants, which showed off more than they concealed. Her long silky hair was parted and plaited into two thick braids, which looked a bit tousled yet attractive. Her delicate oval face with big bright eyes added to her youthful appearance, and hinted at a lovable and approachable nature.
"Justin, who's that beautiful lady out there? Is she your new secretary?" She asked as she walked into the CEO's office. With an easy spring, she jumped up quite unceremoniously to sit on her brother's desk.
"Yes, she is. Anna applied for her early retirement, so I had to appoint a new secretary. But what are you doing here?" Justin asked as he briefly raised his head from the files which he was reading over. He frowned at her revealing outfit, but lacked the heart to criticize her for it.
"I heard that Eden is returning from abroad today. Is it true?" Jasmine asked curiously as she absently played with her braids.
"Yes, it is. Why don't you go pick him up at the airport?" Even during their conversation, Justin didn't stop his work and continued to make notes in the files on the desk. After taking over the FX International Group two years ago, he had quickly converted to the workaholic lifestyle.
"That's not really appropriate. I don't know him that well, after all," said Jasmine, pouting in perplexity. Eden had gone abroad to further his education at a very young age, so she knew little about this son of her parents' friends.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. You were only six or seven years old when he left. It's quite normal that you don't know him well," Justin replied. He put down his pen and leaned back wearily in his chair. He had barely seen Eden for years as well, and all he knew about him was that he was a top medical student and was fast becoming an expert in medical procedures. Now that he was about to graduate, many famous hospitals all over the globe were scrambling to hire his services.
"Say, Justin. Do you think he is coming back to take over from Uncle Tom as hospital director?" Jasmine asked. Due to her impetuous nature she often sustained minor injuries, which required emergency room visits. She had over time, and through necessity, learned a lot of first-aid skills from Tom at the hospital.
"Well, I don't believe so. Aunt Patricia told me that he is just coming back for a vacation," Justin replied. He pinched the bridge of his nose, between his tightly shut eyes, trying to alleviate the fatigue which he suffered daily. After spending the entire morning buried in files, his eyes were exhausted and his brain actually throbbed.
