Fated love: the unwanted bride

Chapter 421: You can eat me as well

After work, Jasmine Yale started packing things up to leave her office and headed to the CEO’s office.

Joe Heath, although he often seems frivolous, could be remarkably serious when it comes to work.

Overtime has become a routine thing.

“Knock knock…”

She knocked at the door of his office.

“Come in,” said Joe Heath in a deep voice.

Jasmine pushed the door open, and indeed, there was Joe, working hard.

“It’s time to clock out, boss,” said Jasmine, knocking on the desk.

“Give me a moment, let me reply to this email. Try some of the cake on the coffee table, it was just delivered by my assistant,” said Joe, looking at the computer and typing rapidly.

His working demeanor was full of focus and seriousness.

Jasmine looked at the coffee table, there was a delicious plate of cheese and strawberry cake.

Freshly made and untouched.

“Fine, I’m going to eat, okay?”

“Go ahead, eat as much as you want. If you can, you can even eat me,” Joe said with a wicked smile.

“Get lost.”

Jasmine ran over, sat on the sofa, waiting for Joe while enjoying the cake.

Joe was multitasking, returning emails while muttering to himself.

“Wait for ten minutes, at most ten minutes.”

“You’re a hard-working boss, aren’t you?”

“Finally, a compliment from you,” Joe laughed, “a rare thing indeed.”

“Do you want me to keep showering you with compliments?”

“Yes, please…”

“Not a chance.”

Jasmine chuckled and took another bite of the cake.

Joe looked at her adoringly. Her beautiful eyes sparkled and she looked so lovely when she smiled, he just couldn’t take his eyes off her.

Her eyes were as clear as the moonlight and as pure as the blue sky.

He was truly addicted to Jasmine.

Jasmine was swinging her legs leisurely.

The cake was delicious, and she was hungry, so she couldn’t help but eat a few more bites.

Considering that Joe would also be inviting her to dinner later, she stopped eating after a few bites, brushing off her hands.

She started wandering around his office.

The rain had stopped and the air was exceptionally fresh.

It was getting late and street lights outside had started to light up.

Suddenly—

She saw a red invitation letter sandwiched between a pile of magazines on his desk.

Jasmine Yale walked up to the table out of curiosity.

“As expected of big boss Heath, getting invites as soon as you set foot in Singapore? Is it a wedding or a birthday?” Jasmine joked, lightly touching the invitation.

“Don’t touch it!”

Joe’s face changed suddenly, his eyes widened, a strange look in them!

He practically tossed the mouse away, subconsciously wanting to stand up and grab it!

But, it was too late, Jasmine casually pulled out the invitation.

However, seeing Joe’s reaction, she decided not to open it.

Again, she teased, “Seems like something you don’t want me to see? Okay, I won’t, look how nervous you got!”

The light in Joe’s eyes dimmed for a moment, and after a while, he said indifferently, “If you want to see it, go ahead.”

The invitation had just been delivered by a courier that afternoon.

He had forgotten to put it away, and he didn’t expect Jasmine to see it.

But, whether she sees it or not doesn’t matter.

It would be good for her to know about it anyway.

Jasmine glanced at him, then at the invitation, “Can I see it?”

“Yes, you can, but I’m worried that you…might not feel comfortable.”

“Why would I…”

Jasmine opened the invitation and paused briefly.

The light flickered in her big eyes, as though darkening for a moment.

Her expression also seemed a bit strained.

But soon she smiled, closed the invitation, and put it back where it came from..
