"Classic bruised ego thinking. Chairman Acland can move on with his own lover but how dare she do the same."
"I’m trying to understand does he want both women or not? because he’s not leaving his lover either."
"Its probably just a control thing. He wants to keep her under his thumb despite him not being with her," Malek explained.
"Thought so too," I replied.
"What are your family saying about the chairman and his request?" he asked.
"They are siding with the Chairman, they want me to leave Jasmine,"
"What are going you going to do? Will continue to go through with the relationship. Will you fight against Chairman Acland?" he asked me.
"Of course, I love Jasmine after all," he said to me. "And I already got into it with Chairman Acland so I’m not afraid of him."
What? Shut up!" he continued as he laughed. "You actually challenged the chairman?"Do you have a death wish?
"I also come from an important family, Malek," I reminded him,
"Yeah but he’s the chairman of the company and you’re not," Malek reminded me. "And your family are siding with him."
"I told my family to fuck off,"I told him as I recalled the message I had sent to them. I told them I would be continuing my relationship with Jasmine no mater what they said.
Malek’s eyes widened once more. "Really?"
"Look, when the divorce goes through Jasmine will be officially free of him," I said.
"Youre really willing to go against your family for this?" he asked me in disbelief.
"Yes," I told him with a straight face.
"Thats so unlike you. You’ve never challenged your family for anything ever," he said. "Its like I’m talking to another person."
"Dont be dramatic," I told him,
" I won’t lie I was a little worried when you told me who it is you’re dating. With the rumors of how Jasmine is. I was worried that since she’s older, still married that she might be using you to get back at her husband or something. But seeing normal she appeared all my doubts were gone."
A wave of relief came over me after he said that. I trusted Malek with my life but not with my reputation, given his chatty nature. I trusted his opinion, he was pretty good at reading people. if he didn’t approve of Jasmine I would have been disappointed. Luckily
"I even noticed how you are with her," he commented. "You seem more mature. You’ve grown a pair lately. Never imagined you ever challenging your family."
"I’ve always had a pair, you twat," I snapped back.
"But anyway, I’m happy for you. She seems nice," he commented. " I hope it works out for the two of you."

I was a little worried but didn’t want to overreact. There could be several reasons why she’s late. She could be stuck in traffic, maybe her and the lawyers took a little bit longer. It had only been an hour.
