The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 217

The tip of her tongue felt numb. Tiffany Simons was shocked...

After that thrilling night, Tiffany would feel embarrassed whenever she saw Fynn. They stepped out of the alley after the kiss and Fynn sent her home. They were both quiet the whole way.

The issue concerning Virgil Lester was solved by Sebastian in person. A week later, that scumbag no longer looked for trouble with Tiffany and Fynn.

After that day, Fynn Jaymond came to the Mansion Flouse more frequently. Every time he came, Tiffany would feel an urge to ask him the reason why he had kissed her that night. She thought of the possibility of Fynn having fallen in love with her, but she would dismiss the thought immediately and feel that it was impossible. If Fynn did like her, he would have confessed his love for her. But right now, he did not do anything apart from casting a vague gaze on her occasionally.

If it were two years ago, she would have taken the initiative to ask Fynn about it, after two years of ups and downs, she no longer had the courage to do so.

She became reserved, no longer the impulsive girl she used to be.

In the blink of an eye, it had been a month since Yasmine Taylor had returned to B City. The weather was becoming increasingly hot and she was feeling bored at home. Sebastian Simons did not want her to go out to work and wanted her to relax at home. Unfortunately, she was not used to living an opulent life. She was about to die of boredom.

Her mother-in-law would go out to play poker after lunch every day. She didn't know what Tiffany was so busy with that she was not home all day long as well. Sebastian had social meetings almost every night, making her the only one left at home in the whole family. She finally couldn't take it anymore. When she saw Sebastian coming back early after his meeting, she protested to him with a grievance on her face, "I want to go out to work."

Sebastian was stunned for a moment but he was not surprised at all. He knew that she would reject the idea of staying at home sooner or later. She was not the kind of person who could keep idling at home.

"Alright, come to the company with me tomorrow then."

"What are we going to do there?"

"Work,"

Yasmine chucked and said euphemistically, "I'm sorry, I don't want to work in your company."

"Why? Do you want to work independently?"

"I want to go back to school to teach."

"No way."

Sebastian rejected her immediately. It was not easy to get rid of Gabriel Smith. He could not bear to see another love rival coming. Moreover, this rival had been well-trained over the years.

"Why not?" "I need a capable secretary. Leah's position had been vacant ever since she left."

"Don't you have Fynn?"

"Fynn has his own job. I'm in charge of two companies at the same time. Flow could I have only one assistant?"

"Well, how did you power through before I asked you if I could work then?"

"That's why I'm so tired. I come home late every night because I have to do everything by myself."

FHeh, it was obvious that he was coming up with an excuse. Yasmine huffed grumpily.

"I don't think I'm qualified to be your secretary."

"But you are capable of being Gabriel's secretary?"

Sebastian's face was filled with jealousy. Yasmine rubbed her temples, "Actually, it's not that I'm not qualified to do it. It's just that we are already meeting each other every night at home. If we spend our time together in the company every day, I'm afraid that our relationship might become stale soon."

Fie glared at her, "Would you get bored of me so easily?"

Yasmine was at a loss for words.

Why must he misinterpret her words? She clearly did not mean that.

Yasmine knew she would not be able to convince Sebastian otherwise. Instead of staying idly at home, she would rather have some kind of work to occupy her time. Flence, she had no choice but to agree to be his personal secretary. She would eat, drink, sleep and work with him.

Sebastian had acknowledged her abilities earlier. In less than a week, she had completed the tasks that he assigned to her flawlessly.

When Yasmine was not busy with work, she would visit the research and development department. Perhaps it was because they had worked together before, so she felt close to the group of colleagues. When they learned that Yasmine was Sebastian's wife, they almost fainted.

Whenever she thought about the scene of them collapsing when they learned the truth at that time, Yasmine laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.

From then on, they no longer called her 'Miss Lorris', nor did they call her 'Miss Yasmine' like the other colleagues in the company. Instead, they called her Lady Boss right away.

Gradually, 'Miss Yasmine' was completely replaced by 'Lady Boss'.

Yasmine was not used to it at first, but as time passed, she became accustomed to it.

After the first sales report of the new products came out, Gabriel came to B City from F City. Fie was considered a shareholder of the company, so he must attend the sales meeting.

Fie arrived in B City a day before the actual day of the meeting. That night, Sebastian became the host and invited him to a famous restaurant for dinner.

After dinner, Gabriel proposed to a round of karaoke, so several higher- ups of the company, along with Yasmine, came to the Nyrose Clubhouse. Sitting in the spacious private room, Gabriel picked the first song. He had a good voice and was particularly talented in singing, and he received thunderous applause after the song ended.

He then picked another song and said into the microphone, "This is a duet, so I need a lady to join me." He looked at Yasmine, "Miss Yasmine, could you please do the honors?"

Yasmine huffed at him grumpily, knowing that he was deliberately letting her make a fool of herself. She used to accompany him on business trips in F City and often went to nightclubs for social meetings. No matter how he threatened or tempted her, she would refuse to sing. She was once annoyed by his insistence, so she purposely sang terribly. That day, because of her awful singing, the business deal didn't succeed. Since then, Gabriel no longer forced her to sing.

Seeing that she did not get up, Gabriel added, "President Sebastian, are you pressuring her so that she wouldn't dare to go on stage?"

Sebastian spread his hands out innocently and said, "I'm innocent. Don't drag me into this."

Yasmine looked at his provocative gaze and slowly got up. She picked up another microphone and sang a love song with Gabriel, "Goodbye's Also a Friend". As soon as she sang a line, Gabriel was dumbfounded. Her singing was sweet and soft like the voice of an oriole. He realized that she had fooled him back then.

The two of them sang together very well and the atmosphere in the private room reached its peak. The vice president sitting next to Sebastian lamented for a moment and blurted out, "A talented and handsome man, coupled with a beautiful and graceful woman, what a perfect match..."

Sebastian turned his head and eyed him furiously. He muttered discontentedly in his heart, "Is this old man blind? How are they a perfect match..."

It was the sales meeting for the new products the next morning. Yasmine sorted out the documents and entered the conference room. Sebastian and the top management of the company had already taken their place. She walked gracefully to the front and said professionally, "In the first phase of the product sales, the three countries with the most outstanding sales performance are Germany, Australia, and Dubai. Now I'll use the slides to explain the sales trends for the past half-year to everyone. Please look at the panel." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She turned around. Behind her, there was a sales graph representing the sales made from February to July. She explained it in detail. A proud smile subconsciously appeared on Sebastian's lips. In the past, he had been personally in charge of all the meetings. Now, he had trained someone talented to do it instead of him, which made him feel much more relaxed.

While Yasmine was still presenting on the slides, she suddenly felt giddy. She took a deep breath and continued her speech calmly.

As the meeting reached its climax, everyone focused on the panel and pricked up their ears to listen carefully. But at this time, her stomach started churning. She threw away the documents in her hand and rushed out of the conference room, covering her mouth inexplicably...

In the now-silent meeting room, dozens of top-level employers, including Sebastian and Gabriel, were taken aback by this unprecedented situation. They looked at one another in confusion.
