Chapter 86
ke said, “Without my orders, Mary wouldn’t daree upstairs to
disturb me.”
Early that morning, a group of people from thepany came over for a meeting. After Mary
brought them coffee, ke ordered her not toe upstairs again.
Yasmin was immediately taken aback. “Does that mean you haven’t eaten anything since this
morning?”
“And whose fault do you think this was?”
Yasmin was instantly embarrassed. She didn’t know he would be waiting for her all this time. She
thought that if she didn’te over, he would just summon Mary to deliver the food.
“I’ll go get you breakfast… Wait, I mean lunch right now,” Yasmin said
as she got out of bed and made her way downstairs.
Joel and Erik were about to leave. They talked as they walked
downstairs.
Joel asked, “Have you apologized to Yasmin?”
Erik coldly responded, “I’ve already apologized to her.”
“Can you please stop picking on her? I think ke really likes her. You shouldn’t always wear such
a resentful expression when facing her.”
Erik scoffed, “Isn’t she just using her body to seduce ke, and that’s why he’s interested in her?
What good qualities does a woman like
that have?”
Joel responded, “You’re too na?ve, Erik. How could a man like ke be seduced so easily?”.
“Why not? Humans are all creatures of desire, especially men. Sometimes, they just need an outlet
to vent when there are no other
choices.”
Erik regarded Yasmin with disdain.
Erik was truly a blockhead.
Joel was done talking to him. He shook his head and walked down
the stairs.
Yasmin stood silently behind the two, listening to their conversation. She sighed inwardly.
Joel appeared to be quite fond of her.
Meanwhile, Erik had a deep-seated prejudice against her.
However, prejudice is a deep-seated belief, and it was impossible for her to change his mind with
just a few words.
Human nature had consistently been like that. Some people would naturally like you, and some
would naturally dislike you. Likewise, not all of them would like you, and vice versa.
Yasmin wasn’t concerned with others’ prejudices toward

box of Zephyria shrimp next to her.
Yasmin walked over and asked, “Mary, are you making shrimp ra
“That’s right. Mr. Ford asked me to make them.”

Yasmin was taken aback. “I thought ke didn’t like shrimp?”
Mary said with a smile, “That’s because you like to eat them! We got some fresh shrimp flown in this
morning. Since there were too many of them, Mr. Ford suggested making shrimp ravioli and storing
them in the fridge. That way, you can have them whenever youe home

Yasmin was momentarily taken aback.
Did he recently notice that she always gets home around 8:00 or 9:00 pm, so he told Mary to
prepare shrimp ravioli for her?
The household staff at Oak Garden would usually clock out at 8:00 pm, and Yasmin didn’t like to eat
much at night, so she usually asked Mary to make her some soup at night. That way, she could just
drink some soup and have some of the meat in the soup, which would be enough for her.
Could it be that ke thought that she would be hungry? Was that why he had Mary prepare some
shrimp ravioli for her?
After the shrimp ravioli were cooked, Yasmin brought them upstairs.
ke was sitting on the bed, waiting for her. “Why did it take so long?”,
“The ravioli weren’t cooked just now. Now that they’re cooked, I’ve brought them up for you,”
Yasmin said as she set down the food.

There was a big bowl of ravioli and a te of raw shrimp on t
“That’s right! You have a leg injury now, so you definitely need t more protein. Shrimp ravioli are the
perfect remedy for it, and the shrimp were just flown in this morning, so they’re super fresh!” Yasmin
said as she helped him up and leaned him against the
headboard.
ke remained silent. He was hungry, so he picked up the fork and started eating.
Yasmin sat beside him, took the te of chilled raw shrimp, slowly peeled one, and ate it.
ke nced at her and asked, “Aren’t you peeling those for me?”
