Chapter 12: Where’s the woman I knew

KEITH’S POV

"If you want, I can find out what Ms Towers has been up to," he suggested.

"Now why would I care about that?" I asked him confused. Did he think I was thinking about Jasmine?

"I just thought you might be curious as to what’s possibly occupying her time now since she hasn’t come for a whole week. Perhaps she’s sick?" he said with a mischievous smile. I cocked an eyebrow at him. He words were ones of concern, but his expression didn’t show concern at all. I realized HE was the one who wanted to know about Jasmine.

"One might mistake you for a woman the way you love gossip and being nosy," I told him. As my right-hand man who had been working for me for a long time and knew a lot about me. I knew he found the situation between Jasmine and I quite entertaining.

"What ever do you mean?" he asked as if he had no idea.

"If you weren’t good at your job, I’d have you fired for overstepping into your boss’s business," I warned him in stern voice.

He nervously laughed as he looked at me. "I apologize, sir," he shakily said.

I let out a sigh. "Go ahead then, find out what she’s up to," I allowed him. There was no harm in keeping tabs on her and in the unlikely chance she is sick she wouldn’t be able to contact me since I had cut off all communications with her. Only my representatives would speak to her on my behalf to her.

"Yes, chairman," he responded. He tired to be professional and keep a straight expression, but I could hear the excitement in his voice. What an idiot I thought to myself.

"Now let’s finish up for the day," I ordered him. Only an hour was remaining before our work hours ended.

We finalized some documents and went through schedule for the next day. Edward clocked out first when work was over and left my office. As I packed up my things so I could leave, my mind went back to Jasmine.

Seeing no other option, I ended up kicking Jasmine and Anthony out of the house, giving her the arrangement I had initially planned for Diana. If Jasmine couldn’t be mature and behave properly then I had no choice. I was hoping we could come to an agreement on the new living arrangements, but it proved to be difficult.

She didn’t want to take accountability for the things she did to Jasmine and claimed innocence despite the evidence clearly pointed to her. She started demanding to get back in the main house and demanding I make Anthony the heir. The situation became ridiculous as she would come every day to see either at the HQ or my home to make her demands whilst refusing to take accountability.

I couldn’t talk to her anymore. The image of the sensible, respectable woman I knew was gone. Divorce was unfortunately now the only option so I could legally keep her away from me because her obsession wasn’t going to stop. I would ensure her and Anthony received a more than generous amount of money in our divorce. They would be well taken care off but unfortunately, we couldn’t live together anymore not with her sudden irrational unpredictable change in character.

"Diana," I said her name as walked up to her.

"Keith," she whispered my name as she smiled up at me. I immediately felt disarmed. I always felt at peace when I was with Diana. I never imagined we’d rekindle our relationship but here we were.
