AND NOW...

"I'm throwing the ball right here, in the manor." Jason stated.

​​

"Why is the ball suddenly here?" She asked, Jason gave her a smug smirk and she wanted to smack it off his face. Why? Just why? It's like the sent him, specifically to ruin all her plans. She spun around and dashed out of his room. Everything was ruined.

**************************************************

"I'm really sorry Jessie, I failed you." Krystal said sadly.

"What are you saying? It's not your fault, I just feel awkward. Like Patricia is always one step ahead of me." She frowned.

"Do you think she did this? Make the detective disappear." Krystal asked.

"Well it's not impossible, she is more than capable. Ugh... I can't fight her alone, not like this. I need to do this personally." She stated. "You guys can still come get me right?"

"I'll put on speaker phone." Krystal said.

"Jessie wants to leave the manor." She informed Jonathan.

"Really? But we couldn't find the detective." He said.

"I know about that, but I just feel uneasy sitting here and letting you guys do all the heavy lifting. I want to look by myself, even if it's just for a few hours." She said.

"Have you found a way to leave the manor?" He asked.

"I think so, there's a maid that's on my side." Jessie replied.

"Are you sure you can trust her?" Krystal asked.

"Yeah, she's a fan." Jessie said, sounding prouder than she intended. "Besides most of the security would be in sky mansion and Jason would be preoccupied. I have at least a ten minute window before he's alerted." Jessie said.

"Ten minutes doesn't seem like much." Krystal pouted.

"It a lot from where I'm standing. Anyways you guys understand the plan right? I call you tomorrow for more updates." Jessie said.

***************************************************

She rushed down to the first floor, walking through and by all the doors and hallways Agnes showed her. Looking around to make sure no one was around she walked to the booth.

"Hello? Jessie?"

"Abort mission, cancel the plans, whatever it is but the party is at the manor!" She yelled.

"I see you found out." Krystal said slowly, biting her lip in frustration.

Jessie pushed back the strands of her hair that were already falling down her forehead. "You knew? How long ago did he change the plans?" Jessie asked.

"Just yesterday, I'm sorry we couldn't call, you said not to."

"It's okay, it's good you didn't call. Can't risk anyone finding out. I can't leave the manor if the party is here." Jessie huffed.

"Isn't it better of an opportunity? I mean, the manor is going to be packed, if they come here then the must be a way for them to go. You can simply hitch a ride." Krystal said.

"No, it won't be that simple. Jason is very determined to keep the location of this manor a secret. If he is throwing a party I'm sure he already figured out the security details. It's going to be tighter than ever." She shook her head. "Ugh that detective, Jamie Anderson any news?"

"No, none not yet." Krystal replied.

"Well I guess I'll probably see you guys in two days. Say hello to Jonathan, I have to go my lookout isn't here today so I can't talk for long." She said.

"Sure see you." Krystal replied her tone filled with so much disappointment.

Jessie would have spoken about it on a normal day but not today, she couldn't afford to get caught by Jason. Who knew what he would do, he literally changed his entire party because of a lie. She looked around and quickly walked out, hoping no one saw her, but someone did.

Jason walked out of his study with a smile, walking to his room, now that Patricia was here and had already departed he could go to work. But first... he took a slight detour to Jessie's room, as he turned and walked into the hallway leading to their bedrooms he saw her dash out of hers. Looking anxious and desperate, he instinctively followed. What could have happened already.

She seemed determined with the way she kept turning and winding through his house. Even he, the owner of the manor, did not know the path she took. Where did it lead to?

She walked into a small green house with a booth. "That must be one of the phones the staff use." He mumbled. "She should have taken the phone I gave her, why would she stress herself like this?"

He was about to walk away when he heard her yell. Abort what? Plans?

Jason stopped by the door, opening slightly he leaned forward to hear the conversation better. What did she not want anyone finding out?

Jason eyes widened when he heard that she wanted to leave the manor. He was just about to storm into the indoor garden but froze when he heard the name of the detective in charge of Jessie's case. Is that why she wanted to leave the manor? Why wouldn't she come ask for it?

Jason bit his lip and shut his eyes, briefly. Jessie definitely knew how to hurt a man. It made him extremely hurt and disappointed when she tried to do this things herself. Was it because she was mad at him? He had to find out.

He really lost it when she mentioned Jonathan. Which Jonathan? His brother?

"She went to my brother?!" He said in an in audible whisper. "Is she really that angry?" He wondered out loud.

He stepped behind the door as she she placed the phone back into the holder and walked out. Making sure he remained unseen he pulled out his phone.

"Matt, I have an assignment for you. Have Paradise look into Jamie Anderson, tell them to find his current location. Oh and give me reports on Jonathan Kang and his secretary... Karen? Kathy?-"

"Krystal sir, Krystal Oh." Matt corrected.

"Yeah, I want a detailed report on everything they did the past week, down to the very meal they ate." He said.

"Sure thing sir. I'll have it on your desk by the end of the day."

"Good."

Preview 141: Do what makes you happy.

"You've planned this regardless of how difficult it was to do so in this manor, you have a real chance here please don't waste it." She continued.

"Wait a minute, you want me to leave the ball? I mean Jason made serious arrangements and took serious risks to throw it here because he thought I was mad at him for the last time. And you just want me to leave?" Jessie asked with a lot of uncertainty.

"Let's be honest, from what you told me. Although Chairman Kang let you go and insists you're not a hostage don't you feel like one? You can't leave the manor with a least two bodyguards watching your every move. Plus until when is he going to keep helping you without results?" She said bluntly.
