Love Only
CCC - Chapter 37


Mike escorts Jasmine to his desk located inside Darren's den..


"Am I going to work here, Mike?" Jasmine watched the vast room and there were only two tables facing each other but the distance was far away.. That big, sturdy table is sure to belong to Darren..


"Of course Princess Jasmine" said Mike, inviting Jasmine to sit down..


"Shut your mouth, you son of a bitch, only I can call him that name* Darren glares angrily at Mike who's becoming more and more seductive.. Jasmine was unfazed by it, she enjoyed her seat and placed her photo with Aldin and Ellena beside her monitor screen..


"Tell me, is he your lover and that woman your brother?" ask Mike curiously


Jasmine smiled and shook her head quickly "He's my half (Jasmine points to Aldin) and he's my best friend (Jasmine points to Ellena)"


"I mean your half? Why don't I understand your words.. But if you notice he's very similar to you, maybe you're a soul mate, I hear people say if you have a face that looks like you're a soul mate"


"Yes right, we've been betrothed since in the original womb you know, no one loves me like that, but unfortunately I can't marry him Mike"


"Why?"


*Because she's my twin"


"Jasmine, I love you so much" Darren and Jasmine protested just shrugging her shoulders.. Of course Mike's laughter broke right then and there..


Ignoring Darren's horror gaze, Mike immediately taught Jasmine the task she had to do with the pile of documents on her desk.. Not so difficult for Jasmine to process data even though her brain is not as thin as Aldin of course.. After he finished teaching, Mike decided to return to his room.. Jasmine continued her work as Darren focused on reading her report..


Not feeling the lunch hour arrived, Jasmine stood up to go to the cafeteria because the company provided free lunch for employees.. But not with Darren, he never blend with his employees or just say hello..


"Where are you going Princess?"


"It's lunchtime, I'm having lunch with Ellena in the cafeteria"


"You can eat here with me"


"I don't want to" Jasmine leaves Darren's study and heads to the 7th floor to meet her best friend.. There he finds his best friend in the limelight, and it seems that today he's making a lot of friends in this company very different from his locked-up self in Darren's study..


"Hi, can we have lunch now?" greet Jasmine


"Of course, today I told them all about you and saw how much they idolized you.. Will you sing to them later in the cafeteria?" ellena said with her puppy eyes


"What in the cafeteria can you sing?" Jasmine scrunched her forehead..


"Can, usually we always eat while accompanied by songs from representatives of each division.. Because today there is you then you have to sing for us" said one of the employees..


"Alright" Jasmine nodded in agreement and they cheered on it, saying, they immediately went to the cafeteria which was filled with employees but who would have thought if the atmosphere of the canteen was very quiet because Darren and Mike joined to eat there.. It's a miracle because they've never set foot in a corporate cafeteria like a five-star restaurant before..


"Sorry so where should I sing?" Jasmine asked the employee who had been very enthusiastic to listen to her voice..


Jasmine went up on stage and picked up the guitar there and asked the employees who were in the canteen what song they wanted, none of whom dared to answer her but Ellena "Singin Not Ready to Lose Dong"


Jasmine glared sharply at Ellena whose mouth indeed needed to be cleaned with a disinfectant.. Jasmine started playing her guitar and singing, here's a piece of the lyrics:


I wasn't ready to lose you, though,


which is always in my heart,


God help me to forget him


all the stories about him made me


always remember the love that I lived


All the employees were washed away in the song performed by Jasmine even though they did not understand Indonesian, but they could feel the deep pain of the song performed by Jasmine.. They all applauded loudly because of Jasmine's sweet voice, she never held a concert in Milan at all and now she sings in front of the company employees Darren for free..


"Jasmine came here quickly" Ellena waved her hand for Jasmine to join in for a meal together, again and again she had to one table with Darren..


Jasmine picked up her food and ate it without paying attention to Darren before her who was sculpting since earlier after listening to the song that Jasmine had brought.. Jasmine noticed Darren didn't even touch her food at all..


"Are you now picky on food?" Now Jasmine couldn't bear to make a sound..


"I don't want to eat"


"You can get sick, watch yourself you need energy to think about the fate of the employees here"


Until Ellena coughed at Jasmine's words just now, Mike helped pat her on the back and gave her a glass of water to drink.. Even more shocking, Jasmine takes over Darren's plate and feeds him.. Ellena rubbed her eyes repeatedly to make sure that what she saw was not wrong.. Darren's heart was excited this time because Jasmine was watching him even she was feeding him, she was so excited about receiving every mouthful from Jasmine that the food on her plate was gone.. What a sweet girl, since she was a child she would not let Darren get sick from forgetting to eat and today Darren found his little girl back..


After lunch, they returned to their room and Darren, Mike, Jasmine, Ellena were in the same elevator..


"Jasmine I really don't think you have a golden voice"


"You're overdoing it Mike" Jasmine replied


"Really, even Darren doesn't blink at your voice"


"Not the sound but the lyrics are Mike" Ellena argued


"Thul? Is there something wrong with the lyrics?" Mike seemed to be thinking hard..


"You need to learn Indonesian to know Mike and I don't mind teaching you. But on one condition.In this world nothing is free, right?" tawar Ellena's..


"Say what is it?" Mike seemed interested in Jasmine's best friend


"Let's think about it" replied Ellena lightly and immediately got out of the elevator because it had reached the 7th floor, not forgetting she kissed the cheek of her best friend "Semangaattt my Jasmine"


The elevator door closed again and headed to the 32nd floor, Mike headed straight for his room.. Darren walked first followed by Jasmine, Jasmine's steps started to stagger she felt such a great headache this time.. But with all his might he endured the pain until his forehead was soaked with sweat as big as corn seeds..


Arriving at the room, Jasmine decays to the floor.. Darren immediately caught Jasmine's tiny body "What's wrong with you?" Darren looked very worried looking at Jasmine's face which suddenly turned pale.. Immediately Jasmine slammed into Darren's arms "Contact Aldin, I need him the most right now"


"Here I am, tell me what you need I'll give it to you"


Jasmine did not answer Darren's question but simply hugged Darren and felt the comfort she had longed for.. Darren's hug is the most comfortable for him.. He inhaled deeply the scent of the body he longed for, a sense of calm and comfort had dominated him this time and slowly he could control his pain.. Darren continued to caress Jasmine's hair, he felt that there was something strange about Jasmine.. Is Jasmine suffering from a severe illness until she decided to stay away from him.. All sorts of questions raged in his mind.. Suddenly Jasmine fainted and it made Darren panic, he carried Jasmine to his secret room and laid her on his bed.. He immediately contacted someone to ask for an explanation of all this..
