The scenery here is so beautiful, so beautiful that she leans against the tree trunk and forgets to go back.
The air is refreshing, with the scent of spring wafting everywhere.
Just as she is enjoying this rare peace, suddenly, the light before her eyes is blocked.
Jasmine Yale slightly opens her eyes.
Blocking her view is none other than Sylvan Cheney.
He’s wearing a dark shirt, his gaze sharp, eyes fixed directly on her face, with a barely noticeable smirk at the corner of his lips.
Jasmine Yale gives him a glance and turns to leave.
Suddenly, Sylvan Cheney grabs the card around her neck, coldly pulling her closer!
Jasmine feels the card tighten around her neck, scared to move: "Sylvan Cheney, are you crazy, do you want to strangle me?"
Sylvan Cheney looks down, staring at the four letters of the ZR Group on her card, his expression mocking: "Impressive, it’s the first time I’ve seen your tactics. How did you become the vice secretary in such a short time, huh?"
"What you can do, I can do too. If you can thrive in this circle, I can also find my place."
"Overestimate yourself." Sylvan Cheney coldly lifts his head, "Compete with me? Can you even compare?"
"I never thought of competing with you, of course not, Mr. Cheney. I mentioned that you’re the winner in life. What you can achieve in a year might take me ten, twenty years, or even a lifetime."
"Vice secretary... huh, diving into a pile of men, especially those single and desirable. Your little schemes can’t be hidden from anyone. Someone like CEO Caddel, can you really cling to him? Or do you think that with your looks, you could become a vice president’s wife? Your daughter could successfully enter a wealthy family?" Sylvan Cheney speaks with no restraint, even aggressively.
"Sylvan Cheney, please show some respect when criticizing others! In your eyes, are women completely worthless? Only able to use their looks to gain money and status? Sylvan Cheney, you’re always so conceited, so dismissive."
"I’m not dismissive, I’m just telling you, someone like CEO Caddel is not yours to have. Give up while you can. Are you suitable for him?"
"Sylvan Cheney, CEO Caddel and I are just superior and subordinate, don’t make assumptions about others based on your thoughts." Jasmine Yale reaches out to grab her card, but Sylvan Cheney doesn’t release it.
She finds herself in a dilemma, very close to Sylvan Cheney.
He shows no intention of letting go, and if she moves back any further, she could easily be strangled by him.
They’re so close that Jasmine Yale can smell his cologne, the scent belonging to Erin Janus.
The orange glow of the sunset tints his face, but does not cover the mockery and disdain on it, there’s even coldness and sharpness.
"Jasmine Yale, wouldn’t it be better to find an ordinary man for stability? Why seduce someone like CEO Caddel?"
"Sylvan Cheney, who I am with, what does it have to do with you? Can you control that?! Why is it that every time I see you, you have to be this way, am I really so worthless in your eyes?" Jasmine Yale can’t hold back, she screams at him.
"Jasmine Yale, let me tell you, although this circle has transactions involving money and sex, and unwritten rules, anything gained from your looks is bound to be short-lived! The higher you stand, the harder you fall. The financial world is full of clever people, they’re not so foolish as to confuse family, career, lovers, what’s serious, and what’s just for fun, they distinguish very clearly!"
