MP: Aftermath

Chapter 21.

Jasmine began to smile as well, but as she looked up at Kaiba and noticed the smile once again changed back into an accusing glare, so the look on her face once again became sheepishly guilty.

"Uh, well....I'm really sorry about that. But it just pisses me off when people do shit like that. Oh, sorry Mokuba." She added quick, knowing she wasn't suppose to swear in front of Mokuba....Kaiba's rule. "But she was using you! I don't know why you even put up with it. And she 'was' a prostitute, the way she was clinging to ya for expensive gifts and meals. Maybe someone needed to tell it to her face, so she could see what she was doing to herself, and to you. It aint right."

"Aint isn't a word." Kaiba pointed out, making Jasmine wince at Kaiba's correction. She must have heard that once a day atleast, and she HATED when he corrected her, and he knew it too, and loved doing it all the more.

As he said this, he got up, strolling over, saying, "I actually have to agree. I dated Mai simply because of a common understanding. Unlike most woman who are fake and pretend to care for you, when they really want something more, Mai was quite up front about what her interests were, and I think she understood what mine were, as well."

He now moved in even closer to Jasmine, saying, "I have learned to hate all women, because when it comes to them approaching me, they all seem to have the same interest. I loath users, leaches, and back-stabbers....especially fake ones." Kaiba's eyes were burrowing into her, assuming she was no different at the moment. After all, it did almost sound like jealousy the way she behaved....even to his ears.

She felt those intense eyes, and wanted to sink right into them. But she saw the stare, and she knew....Kaiba was daring her to do something stupid, and she wasn't going to give into his little game. She gave a smirk, saying, "Well atleast you don't have to worry about me, boss. After all....I can't stand you."

That completely threw Kaiba off, as he pulled back unexpectedly, Mokuba's mouth dropping open. Never in all their lives have they ever heard an employee, temp or otherwise, say something like that to Kaiba. "Uh....well, it's a matter of opinion, right? I still work for ya, so I still do the best I can....uh, boss. I mean, Mr. Kaiba."

Kaiba glared at her coldly, then suddenly regained a look of dis-interest, stating, "Really. Well, that's interesting, since I never heard someone be so concerned towards a person they can't stand, whether they're being used or not."

"Hey, I can't stand users. And just cuz I think you're a jerk, don't mean I don't have some respect to ya. I mean, you're good with your brother, you got great work ethics, and you're normally not afraid to back down from a fight. But you're still a stuck-up rich snob....Mr. Kaiba." She smiled, emphasizing the mister part, as her usual personal jibe.

A cold smile formed on his face as he glared at Jasmine, causing Mokuba to look nervous, realizing another fight was about to break out. "Uh....I gotta go." He said quickly, and practically ran from the room.

"It's refreshing to hear you finally began to understand work ethics, placing business before personal thoughts. But Mai also had a point. You are a tramp, yourself. After all, just as Mai was, you also serve my every need, and get paid for it. You're simply a cheaper whore than she is." Kaiba sneered, as he calmly sat back down in his seat, behind the desk.

"Well, if any person that makes money off of other people in general is considered a whore, then you must be the biggest one of all, with all the money you get. Wonder how much you have to suck ass to get where you are." She smiled back triumphantly.

Not changing his indifference, he stated, "You realize what you just said is enough cause for me to be able to fire you."

"Yeah, I know." She smiled casually. "Then again, I read my contract just yesterday, and did you know that what you just said gives me cause enough to sue you and your company's sorry ass? But since it was mutual, I figured I'd be a nice person and let it slide. You don't fire me, I don't sue you....simple."

There was a long pause between the two, before Kaiba finally jumped in, saying, "Tramp."

"Moneybags!" Jasmine stated.

"Bitch!"

"Snob!"

Kaiba slammed his hands on the desk and leaned over it, glaring at her, snapping, "I can't understand how any company, temp agency or otherwise, would have accepted such low class trash such as yourself into their firm!"

She stood as well, right up to his face, saying, "Well, maybe if you pulled that rod out of your ass, things would be a little bit clearer for you!"

"I hate you."

"Feelin's mutual!"

"I will find a loophole in your contract, and bury you with it. There is no way I am going to keep you for your full term!" Kaiba snapped.

"Yeah, well you keep digging, you might find some gold. Until then, I guess you're just gonna have to live with me for another whole 5 months, 3 weeks, and two days...." She smiled triumphantly. He was steaming from this fight so much, she could swear she felt the heat radiating off of him. "Snob...." She added in just for flavor.

"That's it!" Kaiba finally erupted, surprising Jasmine. "Fuck the lawsuit, you're being taught some manners!"
