KASMINE

I was waiting impatiently all morning to confront Kester about what I'd just heard, but he was nowhere to be found. I called, but his lines were unreachable.

He didn't even step foot into his office after I left him outside when we arrived.

By the time it hit 1 pm, my frustration had hit its peak.

Jake wasn't speaking to me

Not a single word.

He barely stayed in the office with me, slipping in and out like he couldn't even stand being in the same space.

My heels made it harder to walk as quickly as I wanted, but didn't stop. Not for a second.

I stormed toward his office, my vision tunneling, my anger burning hotter as I approached.

I didn't bother knocking.

His dark eyes briefly flickered to me the way one might glance at a nuisance. A single, slow drag of his gaze.

He didn't speak.

Didn't even raise a brow.
