That look had gotten her into several situations where she was thought to be underaged. She had settled for heavier makeup so as to look her age but her baby face still refused to give in. Nervously tucking a loose strand of hair back in place she took a deep breath heading out of her apartment. Stepping out she noticed some changes in the apartment next to hers.
Someone finally moved in. She muttered to herself. The flat had been empty for months after the previous occupants moved out. The moment she stepped out of the elevator and out of the building she was immediately filled with regrets when the chilly evening air hit her. She considered turning back to retrieve her jacket but as she stared at her apartment on the eleventh floor she was hit with a wave of laziness.

Walking briskly, the cery feeling of being watched resurfaced, but she dismissed it, muttering. “You’re just imagining it, Jas.”
Just last night, her overactive imagination had gotten the better of her and she had frightened an elderly lady taking an evening stroll along with her cats.
Even with that she couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease.
She walked faster coming out to the road and hailed a taxi. When she settled in she breathed a sigh of relief then mustering courage glanced back and the car drove away. There was no one there. “See?!” She scolded herself inwardly hating how easily she got startled and frightened.

Hella siniled brighdy, an epitome of class and grace while Ethan stood tall and radiantly handsome with al look. His eyes however were watchful and cold.

Jasmine stood for a moment staring at the couple and other socialites as they made their way past her. It took her some moments before she snapped out setting her plan in motion, she had to meet with and talk to Dr. Gomez, she walked about looking for him. After walking around for about an hour she got exhausted and Still there was no sign of the man. Finally she decided to stand close to where the ushers worked, close to the table filled with wine, water and all other refreshments. She reasoned that Dr Gomez would surely get thirsty later on and come this way she thought to herself. She would wait here seizing an opportunity if she found one. He didn’t reside in the country anymore and once he left he would go completely off grid, she couldn’t let that happen.
