“Cabbage is pretty tasty, too. It’s crunchy and sweet. Remember to try some when you have the
time, Mrs. Ford. Also, you have to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
“Stick to a proper schedule. Don’t burn the midnight oil all the time.” Malcolm knew Yasmin was a
design student who constantly stayed upte to get her drafts done. This was why he was
reminding her.
Yasmin was surprised by his thoughtfulness. She smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so
considerate and detail–oriented when you look like a tough guy. I bet your girlfriend’s really happy
to be with you.”
“You jest, Mrs. Ford. I’m still single.”
“What? How can that be? You’re pretty handsome, and you’re almost six feet tall. Besides, you
must be well paid for being a president’s special assistant. How can you not have a girlfriend?”
Malcolm wanted to tell her that he never got a break as ke’s assistant. He had to be on standby
24/7. It would be a miracle if he could squeeze out time for a girlfriend. But before he could get the
words out, ke red at him. “Malcolm!”
Malcolm turned to look at him. “Yes, sir! Do you need anything?”
ke didn’t look too pleased as his gaze traveled between Malcolm and Yasmin. “Shut up. I
want to rest.
“Yes, sir.” Malcolm didn’t dare to say anything else.
ke shut his eyes. Yasmin thought he was being anal and couldn’t help muttering, “It must be
exhausting to work for you–your staff isn’t even allowed to chat a bit while on duty! You’re a
monster!”
ke’s eyes flew open. He red at her. “It’s your own fault for talking about useless stuff.”
“How is that useless?”
“You kept trying to pry into Malcolm’s personal life when chatting with him. Don’t you think you were
being rude?” ke snorted.
Yasmin’s jaw dropped. “I was just chatting like a normal person!”
Malcolm wanted to tell them to stop arguing. He wasn’t offended. But he didn’t have the

Yasmin snored. “No one is better at being scheming than your woman.”

“What, are you jealous?” ke looked at her.
Yasmin scoffed. “Hal You’re thinking too highly of yourself. How narcissistic of you.”
ke’s expression darkened. He didn’t say anything else. The atmosphere grew tense again.
Malcolm sighed to himself. He’d started a conversation in hopes of easing the tension between
ke and Yasmin. Who would’ve known that things would only get worse? He drove along
woefully.
Half an hourter, the Rolls–Royce Cullinan glided into Ford Residence. Yasmin opened the door
to get out, but ke grabbed her. She was caught off guard and crashed against his hard chest.
Her nose hurt from the impact. She rubbed it. She looked displeased as she snapped, “What are
you doing?”
“Just wait.” ke grabbed a box from the backseat and opened it to reveal a gorgeous pink
diamond ne.
As a jewelry designer, Yasmin only needed to nce at it to know it wasn’t cheap. “Why are you
giving me this?
“As the wife of Windmere Group’s president, you have to be dressed for the asion, especially
since this is a family gathering. Otherwise, the others will think I’m mistreating you.” ke scoffed.
Yasmin was rendered speechless. So, that was how it was. He was doing all this for the sake of his
ego as apany’s president. She took a deep breath and waited for him to put the ne on for
her.
ke took the ne from the box. The light brush of his fingers against her neck made it feel
like soft electric bolts were shooting through her.
She felt unsettled and curled her fingers. “Are you done?”
