Wow you look like crap." Paul shook his head as he watched Jason basically drag himself into his office.
"And you're here, again. You do realise you have a job right?" Jason said as he plopped on his sit.
"Yeah well, I can't seem to work comfortable knowing Katherine is a few floors down, mad at me. I feel the way you look" he smiled.
"Huh, I feel the way I look. I didn't sleep a wink last night." He said.
"But that's not news, you pull all nighters all of the time, is old age catching up?" Paul asked sacarstically.
"I got into a huge fight with Jessie last night."
"Define huge."
"She was throwing my decorations at me." He stated grimly.
"Ooh... what did you do? Or rather what did you say?" Paul asked.
"Ah... it was my fault I know, but I still think she went overboard!" He frowned.
"Oh so you did say something, what did you say?"
"It's just that she was being difficult as usual and we got into this whole to do about her current predicament and my involvement in it. And I might have mentioned, in passing that she should be grateful I was the one that bought her." He said but Paul expression forced him to reveal further. "That if I didn't she would probably be sucking someone off like a whore." He muttered.
"Sorry I didn't get that?"
"I said if I hadn't bought her she would be down on her knees sucking someone like a whore!" He yelled.
Paul jaw dropped and he blinked at his friend vigorously. "Oh no, oh no no no. You did not say that. Wow." Paul replied, shaking his head.

"That's not all" Jason said.
"There's more?!"
"When I tried to calm her down, saying she was overreacting she kneed me, right in the crotch." He stated sadly.
"Ah." Where the only words that escaped Paul's lips.
"I know, I screwed up but she just has a magnificent way of getting under my skin and ticking me off. I always lose my temper with her, it crazy. Now look what she made me do." He groaned.
"You know that's why I never liked her for you" Paul sighed. "You were never like this, ever. The only time I saw you act emotional was the period you were mourning your mother." Paul stated. "But now that I think off it, Jessie is the only one that makes you act human, after fourteen years you finally act out your emotions."
"Is that meant to be a good thing?" Jason frowned. "Look at the mess I made. You know what, distract me. What happened with Katherine this morning?"
"Ugh, I don't want to talk about it." He frowned.
"Fine." Jason muttered, picking up a file on his desk.
"She's totally lost her mind." He stated, Jason dropped his pen and looked up, licking his teeth. "The most annoying thing is I still have absolutely no idea what I did wrong." He continued. "I even went to her office, before she arrived with the coffee she likes from her favourite cafe all the way across town. I didn't get myself but it's the thought that counts right? And she totally ignored me, me. Wow, she's lost her mind, no. She's an impostor that's not Katherine, maybe she swapped bodies with someone or probably transmigrated or some shit." He ranted.

Jason sighed deeply, "this was pointless, it just made me feel worse."
"Me too." Paul groaned in front of him. "Whomever said sharing your problems makes you feel better is a fraud!"
Jason laughed, "the person probably didn't mean women problems, goodness knows nothing makes it better."
"Oh well, at least we're experiencing this together right?" Paul winked at Jason.
"Get out of here. I need to work, unlike some people." Jason frowned at him.
"Fine, fine I'll get out of your way." Paul replied, getting up. "See you again, friend."
"Whatever, bye." Jason waved him off.

"Miss Jessie?" A voice called out to Jessie from the other side of the room. "Miss Jessie?!"
What was once a beautiful room looked like a scene from a horror movie. The wallpaper was partially peeled off, the bean bag that added a bit of comfiness to the room what thrown and the foam within spread all over the plush rug. The vase, and cosmetics that were neatly arranged on the vanity laid scattered by one side. The mirrors shattered and crumbling, and in the midst of all this mess Jessie laid, fast asleep. Destruction was energy consuming.
"Miss Jessie!" Another more forceful voice yelled, banging this time.
Jessie groaned, she sat up rubbing her head. She didn't drink last night but her head felt like it did, after the initial confusion wore off she managed to get up from within the darkness and disaster. She walked to the door and opened the door slightly.
"Where is he?" She asked.
"He's not in the manor, he has gone to work." The butler answered.
"You should eat something miss Jessie." The maid that helped her yesterday suggested.
"I have a horrible headache, do you have anything for that?" She groaned.
"Of course, I've got you covered." The butler nodded. He motioned and just like that a tray of pills and a jug of water appeared from behind the door.
"Thanks a lot Mr. Choi, you're a lifesaver." She smiled as wide as her throbbing head would allow.
"Just doing my job, how about you freshen up and come down for brunch." He insisted.
She nodded and went to do just that.

"Chairman?" Matt knocked on the door, peering in slightly.
Jason looked up from his computer. "What? Can't you use the phone?" Jason asked.
"Well it's miss Lee." Matt said slowly.
"Tell her to call back later, I'm busy." He stated bluntly, looking back into his computer.
"Too late!" A feminine voice stated. "I'm already here, so make some time for me Fiance."
