The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 208

"What are you talking about?" Yasmine Taylor was beginning to feel a little irritated. "I'm thinking about your company's future. Why are you not appreciating my goodwill and choose to slander me instead? You're really making me upset. I won't care about anything anymore!"

"Who asked you to care about anything?"

Sebastian Simons acted as if she was meddling in his business. He then walked out of the office with the documents for a meeting in his hand.

The two of them officially declared a "cold war" for the next two days. Sebastian ignored Yasmine while the latter felt that she was wronged. She was contributing to his career, yet he chose to ignore her. The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. Hence, she decided not to look into the new products anymore.

She did not care whether the products would make it to the market or not. She did not care if the cooperation would terminate. What a tiring job it all was, thanks to that ungrateful man!

To Yasmine's surprise, Gabriel came over three days after she returned to B City. When she received his call, Yasmine felt that she was put in a spot. She was helpless.

Wasn't Gabriel just trying to make things complicated for her on purpose? Especially when he knew that the launch day was going to be held on the day after.

If she didn't welcome him, Gabriel would definitely probe her for a reason. However, if she did, that green-eyed monster in her house would lash out again.

Although she had sworn not to bother about the new products anymore, at this critical moment, she couldn't bear to ignore her hard-working colleagues.

Yasmine was not opposed to Gabriel's intention of picking her up once he landed in B city. However, what stunned her was his grand gesture when he arrived at the company. It was fine if he had come alone, but for him to actually arrive with a car full of red roses, a total of 999 roses...

999 roses. Even Sebastian had never been so romantic.

Afraid of being spotted by Sebastian, Yasmine hopped into the car hurriedly as if she was doing something illegal. She urged Gabriel to drive away quickly.

Even though Gabriel did not stay at the office for a long time, Sebastian still got wind of his arrival. The whole company started to gossip about Gabriel and Yasmine. Even if he covered his ears, he could still seem to hear them. At this moment, his lungs didn't blow up due to anger, but the rest of his body did.

Gabriel took Yasmine to dinner. She mentioned that she wasn't feeling well and wanted to go back to rest but he refused. He took out two movie tickets from his pocket, "I asked my assistant to book them. It's a new release, I heard it's a good watch."

At Gabriel's insistence, she had no choice but to follow him to the cinema.

It was late at night. When Sebastian saw that Yasmine didn't come home yet, he could not help feeling irritated. He wanted to call her but he couldn't put down his pride. After thinking about it, he went to his sister's room.

"Tiffany, call Yasmine and ask her where she is. And ask her why hasn't she come back at this hour?"

After two days of observation, Tiffany was certain that her brother and sister-in-law were engaged in a cold war. Without hesitation, she picked up her phone and dialed Yasmine's number.

"Hello? Yasmine, where are you?"

Yasmine lowered her voice and replied, "Watching a movie."

"Brother, Yasmine said she's watching a movie." "Who is she watching with?"

Sebastian scowled. At that moment, she wanted to rush to the cinema and shatter the movie screen.

Tiffany asked, "Yasmine, who are you watching the movie with?"

"A friend,"

"Brother, she said she's with a friend,"

Every time Tiffany asked a question, she had to cover her phone's receiver and report it to her brother.

"Ask her what movie she's watching?"

Sebastian's eyes were already blazing with jealousy. "Yasmine, what movie are you watching?" "Brother, she said that she's watching 'A Mysterious Love'."

"More like 'A Scumbag's Love'!"

Sebastian was fuming. He turned around and left the room, shutting the door behind him with a bang.

Tiffany hung up the phone in a daze and grumbled discontentedly, "You can be angry all you want, but why did you have to slam my door..."

It was already half-past ten when the movie ended. Yasmine and Gabriel then left the cinema. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Gabriel, I'm going home. You should head back to the hotel earlier to rest."

"I'll give you a ride," Gabriel offered.

"It's alright. It's more convenient for me to take a taxi."

After that, Yasmine walked to the middle of the road. As she was in a hurry, she ran into a man riding an electric motorcycle. She shrieked as she was knocked to the ground.

"Madeline-!"

Gabriel shouted and ran over to her. He picked her up and asked, "Did you get hit? Let me have a look!"

She grimaced and shook her head. "I'm fine."

The electric motorcycle rider was frightened too. He squatted in front of her and asked, "Miss, I'm sorry, would you like to go to the hospital?"

"It's okay. I'm really fine."

Gabriel looked at her up and down carefully and saw that she had grazed her arm. He said out of distress, "How could you be fine? There's a scrape on your arm."

"It's just a superficial wound. I'll just go back and apply some medicine on it."

Gabriel was worried about letting her go back alone. Without saying another word, he stuffed her into his car.

Sebastian waited until 11 p.m, but Yasmine had yet to come back. He was becoming more and more anxious. Whenever he thought of Gabriel bringing so many roses to the company in the afternoon, he was sure that that man would not have any good intentions toward Yasmine.

He went to his sister's room again, "Tiffany, give Yasmine a call and ask her to come home right away."

Tiffany didn't cooperate this time. She huffed, "I don't want to. If you want to call her, do it yourself. Otherwise, my door might get broken apart when you're done talking."

"My phone battery's flat," he said, looking for an excuse.

"Then use my phone to call her,"

Tiffany was determined to not call on his behalf again. Sebastian had no choice but to take his sister's phone and walk out of the room.

Men who could never put their egos away were doomed to live in sheer purgatory. Sebastian used Tiffany's phone to send a text message to Yasmine. After a while, she replied, "I won't be coming back tonight." Only God would know how jealous Sebastian was when he saw the reply. He picked up his car keys anxiously and rushed out of the gate and drove to Yasmine's apartment.

His car was hidden in the darkness. When he saw that the apartment was pitch black, his heart sank, thinking that Yasmine had gone to a hotel with Gabriel.

At this moment, Gabriel's car stopped in front of the apartment. He was slightly relieved, but then he saw Gabriel holding Yasmine as they entered the apartment door.

He was just relieved for a moment and now his heart was once again filled with anxiety. He sat in the car and waited for Gabriel to come out.

After sending Yasmine back to her place, Gabriel asked her, "Where's the first aid kit?"

Yasmine told him where it was. He took the ointment and disinfected the abrasion on her arm.

After disinfecting the wound, Yasmine immediately said, "Thanks, I'm sorry to trouble you. You can go back to the hotel. I'm all good now."

"Are you in such a hurry to drive me away?"

Gabriel raised his eyebrows, got up, and walked to the refrigerator, "I'm hungry. I'll leave after you cook something for me."

Yasmine knew that he would sometimes be as stubborn as a child and wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal. In order to get rid of him as soon as possible, she did what he asked her to do.

Sebastian waited for half an hour in his car but did not see any trace of Gabriel coming out of the apartment. He started the engine and left in a huff.

After eating two bowls of instant noodles, Gabriel finally left Yasmine's apartment contentedly. Yasmine sent him to the door. Seeing his car vanish into a black dot, she let out a long sigh of relief.

After his departure this time, Gabriel probably would not be back again until the products had successfully entered the market. Once everything was settled, she could then be honest with him without anything holding her back.

Even though she felt very sorry toward Gabriel, she believed her judgment. She was convinced that Gabriel would understand her.

The following day, Yasmine went to work in the company. However, she didn't see Sebastian the entire day. When she called Tiffany, she found out that Sebastian was so jealous and angry to the point that he refused to get out of bed.

She rushed home in the evening and approached Sebastian's room quietly. When she opened the door, she saw that he was not in bed. He was sitting on the couch and watching TV. She walked in with relief. "Why didn't you go to work today?"

Sebastian glanced at her indifferently. "Stay away from me."

She was stunned. "Are you still angry with me?" She purposely sat closer to him.

"Did I not tell you to stay away from me?!"

"What are you yelling at me for?"

Yasmine's temper also flared. "You were fooling around with another man for the entire night. How dare you ask me if I'm angry? Tell me, how could I not be furious?"

"What are you talking about? Who's fooling around with another man? Where did you see me fooling around with another man?"

"I saw it with my eyes! I saw Gabriel entering your apartment with you. I waited for half an hour and he didn't come out!"

Yasmine chuckled, "That's it? You misunderstood me completely. At that time, I was knocked down by an electric motorcycle and I had a scrape on my arm. He insisted on applying the medicine for me. After that, he said he was hungry so I cooked two bowls of instant noodles for him. He left once he finished the noodles."

"Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?"

Sebastian was still fuming from what had happened before, but now she was adding fuel to the fire burning in him, forcing him to explode in rage.

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask Gabriel about it!" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Since you both are already together, it doesn't matter even if I ask. Forget it, I don't wanna argue with you. Since you have such a good relationship with him, you should just leave with him. At least

I wouldn't feel as irritated if you two aren't here."

"Are you serious?"

Yasmine questioned with a livid face.

"It's true, you may leave now." With a whack, Yasmine grabbed a pillow on the sofa and hurled it at Sebastian. I'll leave then. I helped you to sort out your job in the day and your private life at night, yet you still act like a cocky arrogant bas*ard. I'm not going to do myself a disservice anymore by staying here!"

This was the first time Yasmine swore. Sebastian had really angered her until she could not take it anymore. She turned around to run out. Seeing that she was about to leave, Sebastian could not help but panic slightly. He quickly stepped forward, pulled her into his arms, and pressed her against the wall. Aan overwhelming torrent of kisses landed on her.

At this moment, the world started spinning around her. However, it felt as though the beast was returning...
