Thread: A second chance (SithMistress and DeviantAngel)

Chest tattoo Jasmine had been a bit jealous of her exes toast, it was so much better than hers though she had always admitted to being a horrible toaster. A little birdie told you huh? I hate to be the person to tell you, but I was appointed CFO almost eight years ago. We ended our relationship about four months after I got CFO, though I did keep it on the down low. My predecessor had been dabbling in some not so friendly transactions with some not so friendly people. He was forced to step down and when he lost everything he apparently went into hiding. He was an old man who pushed too hard and in the end it all came back to bite him in the ass. So in order to protect myself I held back all announcements of me getting the position until the word had spread to the not so friendly people that there was a new CFO and the former had made a run for it. It was a horrible story but Jasmine had made sure the rumors went around the city that a new CFO was appointed and eventually the press released the information for all the public. I was sort of behind the scenes for the first year, then it was made public that I was appointed to CFO. With you being a lawyer you can underst3and that the underground finds out about things before the media does. So we played that to our advantage and eventually I was in the clear as my predecessor made a run for it. Jasmine just shrugged while taking the glass to her lips and sipping lightly. Jasmine nodded as she followed Crystal to a table and had sat down with her former lover. Oh those two? Oh man, I stopped letting them hook me up after the last blind date. The date was fine and all but later that night I found out that the she they had set me up with ended up being a he. But that really wasn't the issue, I mean it was an issue since that's the kind of thing you should really tell someone before the date. But he still had his penis, and I'm strictly lesbian. If he had his man parts inside out and made the full transformation then I could have dealt with that. He turned out to be a liar though, his job and his financial situation was all a lie that I found out after doing some research. He was actually a pizza delivery boy with a criminal record. Jasmine just sighed while she picked up her glass and took another sip. So I told them no more blind dates unless I get a background check on them, the word is full of weird people, though I'm sure you know more about that than I do. I can only imagine the type of people you deal with or hear stories about. To be honest Jasmine had no feelings for Crystal anymore, it was eight years ago that the two broke up and it was like meeting the redhead for the first time again. Though the reason for their break up still lingers and Jasmine will address that at a later time. When Crystal asks what Jasmine had been up to since they split, it took her a minute to think about everything that has happened over the last eight years. I started living... Jasmine had said when she put it all together in her head. When I got the CFO position I worked my ass off, it took some major dedication to turn that company around. I'll be honest, Global Medical was about to go under because the CFO before me was making some poor decisions. As you know my job is to oversee the purchases of smaller companies and to pretty much manage the corporations money. He was not only approving anything that came across his desk, but he was also stealing. Jasmine had sighed as she thought back to the late nights she spent trying to fix the company. Unfortunately a lot of people were fired because we had to down size for a while. It was two years after I got hired that the company started posting positive quarterly numbers. Another year after that we finally reached our former glory. A sense of pride could be seen on Jasmines face when she had ended her last statement, it was a milestone in her life that she was most proud of. I remember taking a week off of work so I could sit at home and hand write offer letters for former employees that were laid off. I probably wrote over 150 letters to those who I thought deserved to come back to work. A majority of those did come back, and I got some letters back with some kind thank yous but they declined. I'm proud of what I do and it translates down into the people below me. With that Jasmine was done talking about her work, she was there to have fun and the two could talk about work any other time. On a low note in my life, I am a cancer survivor. At the age of 28 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and finally after three long years I was cured of it. I was about two chemo treatments away from losing my breasts. So I was elated when the doctor told me that it was gone. The brunette didn't like talking about that chapter in her life, though she did use that experience to help others with the disease. Now I spend a few hours a week at the hospitals reading to kids, I will sit in on their chemo treatments, especially if their parents are unable to make it or are running late. I do a lot of volunteering actually, surviving something like cancer really gets you to open your eyes and enjoy life. Jasmine smiled at Crystal before finishing the glass in front of her. So within the last couple years I have purchased two Lamborghini's, a 1965 Shelby Mustang and BMW M3. I have a house just outside of the city, they're all parked there. I love machines and even tinker on the BMW and Mustang a little. Jasmine was done talking about herself, now she wanted to know what her ex was up to, being a lawyer of her caliber had to have some stories. Oh! And no, I am not seeing anyone at the moment. I'm at that age now where I'm looking for that person to grow old with. Flings are fun, but I need substance and as shallow as it sounds, I need someone on my social standing. People don't understand just how hard it is for persons such as us to keep our high status. Not just within our careers but with our personal lives as well, I need someone who can understand my work schedule and be fine with not seeing me all the time. Jasmine finally ends with that before clasping her hands in front of her. So, what have you been up to for the last eight years? Surely you have some exciting stories to tell. The fit brunette sat back in her chair, her hands on her lap as she awaited her ex to take over the conversation.
