Meanwhile, Carrie, who had not been seen for a long time, finally joined Savrow Academy of Fine Arts thanks to Ryan''s efforts and money.


    One week had passed since her admission. Despite sitting quietly in thest row and hiding behind arge drawing board, her beautiful appearance still attracted the boys'' attention every time she attended ss.


    Full of youthful energy, these young men were so distracted by her that they could hardly concentrate on their lessons. They were craning their necks so much that they might develop spinal problems by the end of the ss.


    However, Carrie was entirely focused on the lecture, her hands constantly moving as she sketched,pletely unaware that she had entered a wolf''s den. She cherished this opportunity to learn to paint that Ryan had secured for her. She wanted to absorb all the knowledge the teacher imparted and would not let herself be distracted for even a second.


    After the morning sses, Carrie was busy organizing her art supplies. A group of boys nudged a rtively good-looking boy in Carrie''s direction. Mustering up his courage, the boy scratched his head and walked toward thest row.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    "Young Madam, I apologize for the dy. I received a call and couldn''te earlier." Yasmin arrived at Carrie''s side like a gust of cold wind, efficiently picking up her art supplies and wrapping an arm around her soft waist.


    Then, Yasmin lifted her cold, sharp gaze and scanned the boys. Her mere look was enough to scare them into silence. What a beautiful woman, but with a murderous aura!


    "What are you guys trying to do? Harass my boss''s wife?" Yasmin''s words were sharp, and her tone was icy.


    ''Wife?!'' The boys were stunned and thought to themselves. ''What a pity! Who''s the lucky guy?''


    "Our Young Madam is married. If you keep staring, I''ll report you for harassment." Yasmin initially wanted to say, "I''ll gouge your eyes out," but considering they were Carrie''s ssmates, she decided against being too violent.


    As Carrie walked out of the ssroom, her moon-like face blushed, and she shyly lowered her head.

    "Young Madam, I had some


    important matters to handle at thepany today, so I was dyed. In


    the future, I wait for you by the back door during your sses," Yasmin said, recalling the boysz earlier, feeling uneasy. No wonder Ryan wanted to keep her hidden. Leaving such a pretty wife in a


    crowd was like throwing amb into


    a den of wolves. It was indeed


    worrying.


    "Yasmin, Ryan and I haven''t gotten married yet..." Carrie fluttered her long eyshes. She felt sweet inside but was also a bit embarrassed when Yasmin addressed her as Ryan''s wife in front of her ssmates.


    "It''s just a matter of a marriage certificate. Even if you''re not married, Mr. Hoffman''s heart and soul are yours, forever and always." Yasmin gently stroked her head,


    smiling warmly. "Mr. Hoffman is


    already privately nning the engagement. He''s preparing to fly to Inalia next month for a royal auction. There''s a rare royal diamond up for bid, said to have been worn by their queen. Mr. Hoffman intends to get it for you as an engagement ring, no


    matter the cost."


    "I don''t need Ryan to spend so much. It''s enough that he has me in his heart," Carrie said, gently tugging at Yasmin''s clothes and shaking her head slightly.


    "Mr. Hoffman wishes he could pluck


    the stars from the sky for you.


    You''re worth it. Besides, you don''t need to save money for him. He has nothing but you and money.


    Spending money is his greatest


    pleasure, so let him enjoy it Yasmin chuckled.


    Just then, she received a message from Ryan and sighed quietly after reading it.


    "Is Ryan noting home for dinner tonight?" Carrie asked, sensitive to Yasmin''s mood change.


    "Sorry, Madam. He has a board meeting and is quite busy..."


    "It''s okay. I understand. CEOs are always busy," Carrie said, hugging the small bear in her arms tighter. She cleared the disappointment from her clear eyes and smiled understandingly.


    "I''ll wait for him toe home. My second brother used to be very busy too, rarelying home. My sister-inw would stay up, waiting for him. No matter howte he came back, she would always take good care of him, never feeling tired."
