Chapter 16
Rosalie chuckled as she read the news in her bedroom. She had given the photos she took the last night to a friend of hers who is a reporter. She didn’t expect the news to go round this fast. It was the hottest topic that morning.
FAMOUS BUSINESS MOGUL TYLER HEMSWORTH WAS CAUGHT IN THE ACT WITH JANICE HUDSON, DAUGHTER OF HARRY HUDSON.
Many ladies hearts were crushed. Janice was envied and praised at the same time by viewers.
She refreshed the page a thousand times and viewers increased a thousand folds.
“This would get him to stop pestering me.” Rosalie said inwardly.
“Rosalie, have you seen the news??” Jasmine suddenly barged into the room.
“Way ahead of you.” Rosalie said waving her phone at her face.
“I still can’t believe it. You know many girls would die to be in that position. Maybe she planned it.” Jasmine said showcasing her disbelief.
“She didn’t plan it.” Rosalie said.
“What makes you say so??”
“Because I was the one who took the picture.” She answered.
Jasmine stared at her in disbelief. She just couldn’t believe it.
“What did you just say??” She asked.
“I said I took the picture.” Rosalie answered nonchalantly.
“When did this happen?? When and how did you even see them?” She asked confused.
“You know yesterday, at that restaurant, when you where buying the food and I went to the restroom?” She asked.
“Yes…” Jasmine said paying rapt attention.
“On my way back, I saw the both of them kissing so I took a picture and gave to Hank. You know, my reporter friend.” She explained.
“Why did you do that??” Jasmine asked.
“To teach him a lesson.” She explained everything that had happened the other day.
How Tyler tried to woe her again and how Janice came to harrass her at the company.
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner? I would have come to give that Janice girl the beating of her life.” Jasmine said frowning.
Rosalie chuckled and said;
“No worries, I already took care of her. She won’t dare to attack me again. You should have seen her face yesterday.”
“You should have just called me. Tyler is indeed shameless. He has a fiancee and still has the guts to cajole you to marry him. I never knew he was like that. He thinks because he’s the ladies guy, he can get any girl he wants. You’ve just smashed his ego. Way to go girl” Jasmine said giving her a thumbs up.
“Speaking of admirers, how’s yours??” Rosalie asked smiling knowingly at Jasmine.
Jasmine’s face turned bright red at the question.
“What are you talking about??” She asked feigning ignorance.
“Don’t act like you don’t know who I’m talking about. I’m talking about Leonard.” Rosalie said.
“There’s nothing going on between me and him. We are just friends.” Jasmine said.
“Your face doesn’t agree with you. At the mention of his name, your face is already heating up.” Rosalie asked.
“So?? We are just friends. There’s nothing going on between the both of us.” She explained.
“But you like him?” Rosalie asked.
Jasmine hesitated a little before answering.
“Yes.” She replied fiddling with her fingers.
“So, why can’t you just tell him how you feel?” Rosalie asked.
“No way. What if he rejects me? This would be awkward between us. Or what if we date now and then break up, our friendship would be ruined. I prefer to be his secret admirer so I can at least keep our friendship.” She said.
“Okay then. I can’t force you to do what you don’t want to.” Rosalie said in defeat.
“Good morning.” Alex said walking into the room.
“Morning Alex. Why aren’t you getting ready for school?” Jasmine asked.
“It’s the weekend remember. There are no schools during weekends.” He reminded.
“Oh yes. I forgot. Also I forgot to remind you that it’s the annual ceremony the Morrison family hosts tomorrow. We are invited.” Jasmine reminded.
The Morrisons are one of the prestigious families in M city.
“I totally forgot about that.” Rosalie said.
“You are attending right?” She asked Jasmine.
“Wouldn’t muss it for anything.” Jasmine replied.
“Party?? Am I invited??” Alex asked.
“No way.” Rosalie said smiling.
“Okay. Come on, let’s go have breakfast. Nanny made pancakes.” He said dragging Rosalie towards the kitchen.
Jasmine chuckled following behind them.

AT TYLER’S VILLA
“Sir, all the news regarding you and Miss Janice has been cleared from the internet.” His P. A said.
“Good. Did you find out who leaked the photos?” He asked.
“Yes sir. And we also found something else.” He said.
“What is it?” He asked.
“It wasn’t Miss Janice that gave the photos to the reporter.” He said.
“Who was it?” Tyler asked impatiently.
“Miss Rosalie.” He answered.
“Are you sure of what you’re saying?” Tyler asked confused.
“A hundred percent sure sir. The reporter said so himself.” He said.
“Okay. You can leave.” Tyler said motioning for him to leave.
He bowed and left.
Tyler sighed inwardly and rubbed his temples. He wondered how she got those pictures taken last night because he didn’t recall meeting her at the restaurant.
That means she knows that Janice is his supposed fiancee. He groaned tiredly.
Janice just added more problems to his plate.
