"Alright. Let''s open a bottle then."


    I listened in as Nichs answered Jasmine. The attendant was thrilled as a bottle of red wine was


    expensive in this particr restaurant, and he would be able to gain a smallmission.


    He quickly called a waiter to send a bottle over, fully focused on serving such a wealthy customer wholeheartedly. With the attendant gone, Jasmine and Nichs no longer held back with their words. "Nick, you''ve been doing things with a high profiletely. Rumors about you getting back with Ariana have even reached my ear."


    Nichs remained silent upon hearing that.


    Jasmine continued, "But we''re a known couple by the public after all. You should at least break up with me gracefully if I have to go away. You can''t just allow the public to gossip behind my back."


    Nichs had always treated Jasmine well. She was someone he had raised, after all. So, I was not the slightest bit surprised when Nichs asked her about what she wanted him to do. Nichs was always soft-hearted toward the people he cared about. "There will be a final dinner for the variety show. There will be a lot of people there, and there will be more viewers than usual. I want you to attend the dinner with me to dispel certain rumors.


    "Then when I go abroad, we can officially break up'' due to the long distance."


    Hearing her words did not stir up any emotions within me. However, Dous could not stand it anymore.


    He got up, wanting to head over to the private room next door, but I quickly blocked his way and ced an arm on his shoulder, shoving him back.


    "I don''t care," I said softly.


    Dous downed his drink in anger and mmed his ss down on the table. He was also feeling helpless


    How much disappointment has Ariana faced for her to tell him that she did not care? He swore to himself that he would neverpliment Nichs in front of Ariana again.


    He had believed he would be able to amend their rtionship, but he never thought that his good intentions would backfire on him.


    Jasmine chuckled shyly as her voice sounded out, "Hey, to the couple next door, aren''t you being too excited? You''re out in public, not back in your room."


    It seemed like Dous and I had been too loud, causing Jasmine to misunderstand.


    She always had a way with words. She could deliberately measure her words and say enough just to remind you and not offend you at the same time.


    "Nick, it''s been so long since I''ve been so excited. Just the thought of it makes my heart pump."


    Dous couldn''t hold back his curses as he shouted, "Fuck you!"


    He seemed to have finally witnessed what it meant to lie through one''s teeth. But no matter what, that


    woman should not have dragged them into her sick jokes!


    I immediately felt my head pound. Just as Dous was about to continue cursing, I quickly stretched my hand out to cover his mouth. Then, I dragged him out of the restaurant with me.


    When I heard Nichs press the bell to call a waiter over, I immediately quickened my steps.


    Once we were outside, Dous took a deep breath. His expression was dark as he said, "What nonsense was that woman speaking about? What did she mean by dispelling the rumors between you and Mr. Hawk? "I''ve decided on your behalf that you must attend that dinner. You should go and let her know what is real and what is false!"N?velDrama.Org content.


    I hadn''t decided on the dinner, but Dous'' words did make me curious. I was curious as to who Nichs would choose if he saw me there. Hence, I agreed to attend the dinner and waved him goodbye.


    My situation with Nichs could be put on hold, but I had to get to the bottom of Yasmine''s situation tonight. I would not be able to sleep until I got to the bottom of it.


    So, I took a cab to her ce, but before I could knock on the door, the door swung open from the in


    inside.


    Yasmine was standing side-by-side with a man, and it looked like they were about to head out. As for the man in question, he looked oddly familiar.
