Chapter 849 - A Chance To Explain (1)



Jasper gritted his teeth while looking after Ellie who is leaving.

He should go and stop her, right? But what will he say?

Jasper is angry that Lily spoiled Ellie\'s first visit to his office, and anxious at the thought that this might be Ellie\'s last visit to his office… desperate to get Ellie back and to prove his sincerity, and helpless because he does not know what to say to fix this. He felt the need to break something, or hit someone… how did he end up in this situation?

He saw that Lily moved and his mix of emotions fused into rage.

"Pack your things and don\'t bother coming tomorrow.", he said in a dangerously low voice.

Lily and Faith were not sure to whom he said that. And neither of them dared to ask for clarification.

His icy-blue eyes emitted frost when he looked at Faith. "If you want to keep you job, call security right now and tell them to prevent Miss Young from leaving the building… and that they escort Miss Cavadini out as soon as she gets her private belongings. She is not allowed to step into the company ever again."

Faith vigorously nodded and rushed to her desk to make calls.

Jasper inhaled and walked out in large strides after Ellie leaving bewildered Lily behind.

Lily stared after Jasper and had difficulty processing what he said. Did he just fire her? How can he fire her? His father gave her this job! Unacceptable! Since when Jasper dares to go against his father? Is it because of that woman? No… this is not happening.

When Lily walked out of Jasper\'s office, she found Faith talking on the phone.

"…Yes. Come to escort Miss Cavadini. Her office is on 53rd floor, and right now she is in front of the CEO\'s office… Yes. She is being let go. And put her on a no-entry list… Yes. Thank you." Faith ended the call with security and exhaled.

"You are kidding me, right?!", Lily squeezed through her teeth. She was still unable to accept the facts.

Faith looked at Lily and shook her head. "No. You heard CEO Kiani. He warned you today, and you didn\'t listen. And you offended Miss Young. We possibly lost a valuable partner because of what you did."

Lily sneered. "Partner? She is obviously a girlfriend! Or she wants to be one."

"Nothing from what they said points to that. She might be a representative of another company who came to discuss a partnership with the CEO. And you treated her like she came to do something shameful." Faith stood up and narrowed her eyes at Lily. "And even if Miss Young is interested in CEO Kiani, what gives you the right to interfere? What is your relationship with him? You need a reality check… he sees you like an employee. Correction, an ex-employee."

"Hmph! He can\'t fire me! His father gave me this job!", Lily fumed when she saw that two security guards are walking toward them.

Faith smirked. "Lily, you need another reality check… He is the CEO. He can fire you."

Faith watched security escort Lily to her office to collect her personal belongings, and she thought how today really is NOT her day. So many problems! And it seems that all the problems are somehow related to Lily. Faith exhaled while thinking that with Lily gone, number of problems will reduce as well.

Down in the main hallway…

"What do you mean, I can\'t leave the building?", Ellie narrowed her eyes at the security guards who blocked her way. "Move, before I call the police. You can\'t detain me here!"

Ellie saw that two men are not budging. She got her phone and after a second delay decided to call Sarah. She does not know all about Hill sisters, but she knows enough that Sarah can help her out.

"Hey, can you come and help me out? There are two security guards blocking my way…" Ellie almost yelped when her phone was snatched away.

Jasper looked at the phone and saw that ID for the ongoing call says \'Sarah Hill\'.

"Jasper here. Sorry about that, it\'s a misunderstanding." Jasper said and ended the call.

"Misunderstanding?", Ellie said through her teeth. The only way to prevent herself from collapsing into an emotional puddle right there when facing Jasper is to channel her emotions into anger.

"Ellie, you promised to give me a chance to explain before judging and sentencing… remember?"

Ellie paused and gave a small nod in agreement. She extended her hand, demanding her phone back.

Seeing that Ellie gave a nod of approval, Jasper relaxed slightly. He put her phone in his suit jacket pocket and took her extended hand in his.

"Not here… Let\'s go somewhere more private.", he pulled her toward the elevators.

"I\'m not going back to your office.", Ellie said defiantly and yanked her hand out of his grasp.

Jasper paused for a second.

"OK." He reached for her hand again, and this time his grip was firmer.

They took the elevator to the underground parking. He didn\'t let go of her hand until she took a seat in his white Lincoln Continental.

Ellie thought how black interior of the car with few gray details matches color scheme of his office.

Only when the car started moving, Jasper exhaled in relief. Until then he was afraid that Ellie will flee.

While navigating through the underground parking lot maze, Jasper was wrecking his brain with thoughts of possibilities: what crazy things did Lily say? If she said the truth, it would be that he slept with her three years ago and that since then nothing happened between them. Would that upset Ellie this much? He does not know what to think… but he knows that Lily usually acts like there is something between them in order to scare other girls away. He does not want to talk based on his assumptions… he might get himself into more trouble than he already is.

But Ellie is not saying anything, and it\'s making him nervous. He is not sure what to do. The only good thing is that she accepted to talk with him, and he needs to make the most of it. With that thought, he decided where they are going.

After about fifteen minute ride through dense slow-moving traffic, Jasper parked into an underground parking, and few parking spots away was the elevator. He swiped a passkey and elevator moved up.

Ellie was not surprised that they ended up in the penthouse.

She was hoping for a public place, but he said that he wants something private and she didn\'t object then… she can\'t complain now. They are already here.
