The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 189

Sebastian Simons turned his back to him. After a long time, he nodded his head, but he did not look back and went straight out of the room.

The moment Titus Simons saw his son nod, two drops of tears rolled down his cheeks. He smiled in relief at the same time.

It would not be the end of the world if he apologized to his son. Since he could not force his son to do the things that he wanted him to do, there was no point for him to continue arguing with him. All he needed was to take a step back and not be stubborn.

Sebastian officially moved back to the Mansion House and took over the Simons Corporation once again. He started becoming busy. It was very tiring to take charge of the two big enterprises. Furthermore, the Simons Corporation had been in debt for the past two years, and the company was even more unstable internally. He needed to spend a lot of time and energy to reorganize it. When the time was right, he could unify the two companies.

Fate had accidentally separated a couple once. As time passed, and when they thought there would be no more interaction between them, a silent encounter came unknowingly and unexpectedly...

"Madeline, come to my office."

Yasmine Taylor, who had been promoted to the general manager's special assistant, was called to the general manager's office more than ten times a day. The general manager was none other than Gabriel Smith, who had been admiring Yasmine for a long time.

"What's the matter, General Manager?"

She looked at the watch on her wrist. She had only left this room 15 minutes ago.

Last winter, Gabriel's father retired. He officially took over the company. On the same day, Yasmine also transferred from the marketing department to the general manager's office. A group of people envied her. Gabriel had taken her wherever he went. Almost everyone in the company had already regarded Yasmine as the future general manager's wife, thinking that they would be together sooner or later.

However, Yasmine didn't think so. She was very clear that it was impossible for her and Gabriel to be together. It was not because of Sebastian, but because she had already walked this path before. She didn't want to go on the wrong path again.

"Go home and pack up tonight. You'll go on a business trip with me tomorrow," he said.

"Another business trip? Where are we going?" Yasmine asked.

"B City."

Yasmine's heart skipped a beat and she suddenly couldn't say anything.

It seemed that she was reminiscing the long lost memories. The people and the experiences she had in the past, they all flashed like a movie in her mind. Two years had passed. When she heard the word "B City" without any warning, her chest felt so heavy that she could not breathe.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

Gabriel asked in surprise.

She came to her senses and shook her head in a hurry. "Nothing. Is it okay if I don't go with you this time?"

"Why? You are my special assistant, and you have to follow your boss wherever he goes. Don't you understand the rules of the workplace?"

"My aunt is not in good health recently, and my uncle is too busy working at the dock. I want to stay here so that I could go home and take care of her at night."

"Is that the only reason? In that case, I'll just hire the best caretaker in F City for your aunt. I promise she'll take good care of your aunt. What do you think?"

Yasmine's expression changed, "Thank you for your kindness, but my aunt is not used to being taken care of by others except me."

"In that case, we'll just take your aunt with us," he said.

"Director Smith, could you please stop joking? There are many high-level executives in the company, you could just take any one of them with you on the trip. Why must you make things difficult for me?"

Seeing that her eyes were a little red, Gabriel suddenly asked in a serious tone, "You refuse to go to B City so badly. Is there someone there whom you don't want to see?"

"No." She didn't even think before she shook her head in denial.

"That's fine then. Since you're not avoiding anyone there, why are you so reluctant to go to B City? I haven't seen you like this before on any business trips that we went for."

Seeing that Gabriel insisted on taking her with him, Yasmine really had no choice. She asked angrily, "Which company?"

"What company?"

"Which company are you working with this time?" she repeated.

"Yaslor Corporation."

Hearing that it was not the Simons Corporation, Yasmine was slightly relieved. She nodded, "Okay, but we have to come back as soon as possible. My aunt must have someone to take care of her."

"Got it." This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Gabriel rolled his eyes. "Sometimes I really wonder who is the secretary and who is the boss here. The secretary could actually request the boss to come back as soon as possible. It's really unreasonable."

"It's all because someone always harasses me in the name of a business trip."

Yasmine and Gabriel had known each other for a long time. In addition, he always came to her aunt's home to eat, so their relationship was not like a subordinate and boss, but more like friends.

"Did I succeed in harassing you?" he asked.

"No, but that's because I have a strong self-defense, otherwise I would have been defeated by you a long time ago."

"Then, could you please defend yourself a little weaker next time? It wouldn't hurt if you just let me succeed once, would it? Do you know how many women want to be with me, but I didn't hesitate to dump them all?"

"So, in order to avoid being dumped by you, it's better to be vigilant from the beginning," she said.

"Who was dumped? You? Are you kidding me? I want to be with you even in my dreams. If you agree to date me, I will definitely treat you as a queen and serve you. What do you think? Do you want to be with me?" Gabriel asked.

"You wish,"

Yasmine did not know whether to laugh or cry. She turned around and walked out of the office.

The longer she was with Gabriel, the more she felt Gabriel was like a rogue. Sometimes she couldn't help but be moved by Gabriel's thoughtful words and actions, but she always keep her feelings in check and put herself back to the right position.

Yaslor Corporation...

She sat by her desk and felt that the company's name was a little strange, but she couldn't tell exactly what the reason was. At this moment, her heart was somehow beating at a fast pace.

Early in the next morning, Gabriel came to pick her up to go to the airport. Yasmine came out of the house with her luggage, which really surprised him.

He rushed forward and asked in horror, "What are you doing? Are you a spy or a secret agent?"

Looking at her outfit, she wore a pair of black sunglasses and a beige cap that covered her face. She also wrapped a white scarf around her neck. If it weren't for her figure, he wouldn't be able to recognize who was standing in front of him.

"My aunt said that air in B City was polluted so she asked me to wrap myself up tightly. I couldn't do anything about it," she said helplessly.

"Nonsense."

Gabriel took her luggage, "B City has the best natural environment. I plan to set up a factory there this time."

Ah? Yasmine was shocked. "Why do you need to build a factory in B City? There are many cities with a good environment. B City is so far away from F City. It's not convenient to supervise the factory at all!"

In fact, she didn't care where the factory was built. What she cared about was whether Gabriel would take her to B City every other day with the excuse of supervising the new factory.

"Distance is not a problem. Making money is the priority." he snickered.

The two of them took the plane to B City and landed in the evening. They arrived at the hotel. Yasmine sneaked out while Gabriel was not paying attention.

Looking at the familiar city, she felt an urge to cry. Her heart was aching. The restaurant where she had had dinner with Sebastian, the roads she walked with Sebastian, and the scenery she had seen with Sebastian were all vivid in front of her. As she had expected, she was not ready to come back. Standing on this land filled with her past memories, her heart, which had been struggling to recover, began to tear with blood again.

He must be having a good time with her. Their child should be two years old now.

Who would the child look like? Although she was not reconciled to it, she still hoped that the child could be like Sebastian. At least then the child would not be as bad and ruthless as his mother.

She came to a flower shop in a daze and said to the boss, "Give me a bouquet of lilies."

Lilies were her mother's favorite flower when she was alive. She had not stepped foot into B City for two years, and she had never visited her mother for two years. Her mother would not blame her. She would definitely understand her reasons for not coming back.

A gust of wind blew in the sky. She pulled the tilted hat on her head. She had already taken off her sunglasses and scarf when she was in the hotel. When she left, she forgot to take them with her. She could only rely on the hat to cover her face. The wind was getting stronger. Seeing that heavy rain was coming, Yasmine quickened her pace and wanted to go up the mountain before the rain started pouring.

There was some chaos on the street. She walked in a hurry while lowering her head. As a result, she accidentally bumped into a pedestrian, and her hat fell to the ground. She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry..." She bent down and picked up the hat on the ground. At the moment when she stood up, a car slowly drove past her. The person sitting in the car was Madam Simons, and their eyes met inadvertently. Mila Zordon shouted as if she was in a dream, "Yasmine..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop the car!"

Madam Simons shouted at the driver in a hurry. With a whoosh, the car stopped. She pushed the door open and jumped down. She looked at that place but there was not a trace of Yasmine. There was not even a ghost...

"Is it because of my blurred vision..."

Mila was stunned on the ground and muttered to herself.
