Yasmin could feel her eyelids twitching. G Yasmin could feel her eyelids twitching. Giselle’s words
gave her a bit chy vibe. She looked
elegant and ssy on the surface, but her words were carefully picked to sow discord. She wasn’t
as simple as she seemed.
Sure enough, ke’s expression darkened at Giselle’s words. He looked at Yasmin coldly as if
wanting to shoot her with his gaze. Yasmin didn’t dare to meet his eyes.
“Why are you guys still standing around here? The show’s about to start. Let’s all take our seats.”
Ivan was back.
Yasmin sighed in relief. She moved to stand behind Ivan, using him to block ke’s gaze.
“ke, Yasmin came here with Mr. Burke.” Giselle just had to mention it.
ke frowned. Why was Yasmin getting involved with NAS Group? With her abilities, there was no
way she could meet NAS Group’s standards. She didn’t even have a proper résumé. Giselle
seemed to be able to read his mind. She said in a small voice, “Yasmin’s fresh out of college, so
she’s probably not qualified to work with NAS Group. Ivan must like her to give her special
consideration. I think I saw a little something in the way he looked at her earlier.” ke’s expression
was downright murderous now. He watched Yasmin. Thetter had just sat down when she met
ke’s gaze. It was icy.
Yasmin still didn’t dare to meet his gaze. She pretended not to see it and lowered her gaze.
“Do you know him?” Ivan, who sat beside her, asked.
After a moment of silence, she shook her head. “No.”
“He’s the president of Windmere Group, ke Ford. Rumor has it that he doesn’t have the best
temper. offend him.”
You should steer clear of him so you don
“Alright,” Yasmin said.
ke had already gone to his seat, which was right in the middle of the room. The presidents of

they could somehow build a rtionship with him.
ke sat there, looking cool and distant. The other presidents were disappointed by this and
returned to their seat
to watch the fashion show. But even if he didn’t speak, there was no overlooking his presence.

Yasinin could vaguely sense his gaze on her, which distracted her from everything else until the
melodic strands of a no song rang out.
Giselle sat before a piano as tendrils of smoke surrounded her. She looked like a goddess who’d
descended from the heavens in her white gown. Everyone around them wasplimenting her.
“Wow, she’s gorgeous.”
“Everyone seems to beplimenting Giselle,” Ivan suddenly said as he turned to nce at
Yasmin.
“Yeah.” She nodded. She didn’t dare to say anything against Giselle since everyone seemed to
adore her. Instead, she joined them and said a few nice things.
“Can you sense Mr. Ford looking in this direction now and then?”
Yasmin nodded. It was hard not to sense it when ke’s gaze was so sharp. “Yeah, I think so.
“I should probably acknowledge it.” Ivan gave ke a friendly smile. ke nodded co olly in
return.
Yasmin focused on the fashion show as she told herself not to let ke get to her. She also
reminded herself not to look in his direction.
Ivan smiled and said, “Either Mr. Ford hates me, or he likes you.”
Yasmin’s eyelids twitched. ke liked her? How was that possible? He’d personally admitted that
he would never fall for her. Besides, he’d gotten Giselle pregnant. How would that exin him
“liking” her?
She smiled bitterly at the thought of Giselle’s baby. “That can’t be. He’s probably just in a bad mood.
Or worse, he has a resting bi tch face. Whatever it is, he can’t possibly like me.”
“Are you sure about that?” Ivan looked at her. His gaze was inexplicably amused.
Yasmin nodded. “Yeah.”
Ivan couldn’t helpughing. “You’re different from all the other women I know. Every one of them
would die to have the president of apany interested in them, yet you’re the opposite.”
“I know my ce.” She’d wasted more than 700 days and nights trying to win ke’s heart. Now
that she’d failed, she knew better than to continue holding out hope.
