    Chapter 18


    Yasmin asked, “Do you and Mr. Burke know each other?”


    “Of course. We used to be ssmates back in Merania.” Giselle smiled at Ivan. “Long time no see,


    Ivan. How have you been doing?”


    “Pretty well.” Ivan’s smile was faint. It was hard to discern his thoughts from his eyes, which were


    hidden behind his sses. “You guys continue chatting. I need to answer a call.


    He walked to one side and answered his phone.


    Giselle said with a smile, “Your career’s advancing pretty well. You can work with NAS Group now!”


    Yasmin smiled politely. “It’s all thanks to Mr. Burke.”


    She didn’t actually want to spend any time alone with Giselle. Thetter asked so many questions


    that it got on Yasmin’s nerves.


    “Thanks to him? I think he likes you, you know. I’ll let you in on a secret-Ivan’s single. If you like him,


    you’d better get him while he’s still on the market. You have an advantage, after all. Plenty of


    women are interested in him.”


    This baffled Yasmin. Why was Giselle suddenly ying matchmaker? She smiled awkwardly. “Mr.


    Burke and I are just talking business.”


    “That doesn’t mean he can’t be your husband! When youe across someone as


    outstanding as him, you have to win him over as soon as possible and make sure he stays with


    you.” There was a smile in Giselle’s eyes.


    Then, she asked, “Oh, right. When are you and ke getting divorced? Have the papers been.


    prepared? Is everything ready?”


    Yasmin was frustrated by this. “He refuses to get divorced.”


    Giselle’s smile stiffened. “Why? I thought you two were in a loveless marriage. If there aren’t any


    feelings involved, why remain in it?”


    “I don’t know.” She was genuinely confused. ke absolutely detested her, so why wasn’t he willing


    to go through with the divorce? Did he want to restrict her freedom for the rest of her life just to get


    revenge on her?


    “Well, when will the divorce be finalized?” Giselle looked at her, seemingly upset.

    Yasmin said, “Why don’t you talk to him about it? You’re pregnant with his child, after all. I’m sure


    he’ll agree once you bring it up.”


    Giselle sighed. “I don’t want to pressure him.”


    Yasmin was bbergasted. If she didn’t have the nerve to mention anything despite being pregnant


    with ke’s child, then what use would it be if Yasmin, whom ke hated, talked to him about it?


    Giselle held Yasmin’s hand and said earnestly, “Yasmin, try your best to get divorced, okay? I can


    wait, but my baby can’t.”


    Yasmin nced at her belly co olly. “I’ll try.”


    ‘, Giselle called out, “ke!”


    Yasmin jolted and turned around. ke stood behind her with Malcolm by his side. He was at NAS


    Group as an investor. Who knew how long he’d been listening to their conversation?


    “Why didn’t you tell me that you’reing here?” Giselle walked to him, speaking gently..


    ke nced at her before turning to look at Yasmin. She stood on the catwalk in a light- colored


    dress. The design was simple, but it entuated her fair skin and made her look alluring.


    There was even a vague hint of redness on her neck. It was a bite mark he’d left on her neck the


    night before. It was already fading.


    ke’s gazended on the mark for a few seconds. He didn’t say anything, merely standing there


    like a regal king.


    Giselle followed his gaze and saw the mark as well, but she pretended not to see anything. She


    clenched her fists slightly and smiled. “ke, Yasmin and I were just talking about you. She said


    you’re the one refusing to get the divorce and that she’s waiting for you to sign the papers.”Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
