The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 208

"What are you talking about?" Yasmine Taylor was beginning to feel a little irritated. "I'm thinking about your company's future. Why are you not appreciating my goodwill and choose to slander me instead? You're really making me upset. I won't care about anything anymore!"

"Who asked you to care about anything?"

Sebastian Simons acted as if she was meddling in his business. He then walked out of the office with the documents for a meeting in his hand.

The two of them officially declared a "cold war" for the next two days. Sebastian ignored Yasmine while the latter felt that she was wronged. She was contributing to his career, yet he chose to ignore her. The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. Hence, she decided not to look into the new products anymore.

She did not care whether the products would make it to the market or not. She did not care if the cooperation would terminate. What a tiring job it all was, thanks to that ungrateful man!

To Yasmine's surprise, Gabriel came over three days after she returned to B City. When she received his call, Yasmine felt that she was put in a spot. She was helpless.

Wasn't Gabriel just trying to make things complicated for her on purpose? Especially when he knew that the launch day was going to be held on the day after.

If she didn't welcome him, Gabriel would definitely probe her for a reason. However, if she did, that green-eyed monster in her house would lash out again.

Although she had sworn not to bother about the new products anymore, at this critical moment, she couldn't bear to ignore her hard-working colleagues.

Yasmine was not opposed to Gabriel's intention of picking her up once he landed in B city. However, what stunned her was his grand gesture when he arrived at the company. It was fine if he had come alone, but for him to actually arrive with a car full of red roses, a total of 999 roses...

999 roses. Even Sebastian had never been so romantic.

Afraid of being spotted by Sebastian, Yasmine hopped into the car hurriedly as if she was doing something illegal. She urged Gabriel to drive away quickly.

Even though Gabriel did not stay at the office for a long time, Sebastian still got wind of his arrival. The whole company started to gossip about Gabriel and Yasmine. Even if he covered his ears, he could still seem to hear them. At this moment, his lungs didn't blow up due to anger, but the rest of his body did.

Gabriel took Yasmine to dinner. She mentioned that she wasn't feeling well and wanted to go back to rest but he refused. He took out two movie tickets from his pocket, "I asked my assistant to book them. It's a new release, I heard it's a good watch."

At Gabriel's insistence, she had no choice but to follow him to the cinema.

It was late at night. When Sebastian saw that Yasmine didn't come home yet, he could not help feeling irritated. He wanted to call her but he couldn't put down his pride. After thinking about it, he went to his sister's room.

"Tiffany, call Yasmine and ask her where she is. And ask her why hasn't she come back at this hour?"

After two days of observation, Tiffany was certain that her brother and sister-in-law were engaged in a cold war. Without hesitation, she picked up her phone and dialed Yasmine's number.

"Hello? Yasmine, where are you?"

Yasmine lowered her voice and replied, "Watching a movie."

"Brother, Yasmine said she's watching a movie." "Who is she watching with?"

Sebastian scowled. At that moment, she wanted to rush to the cinema and shatter the movie screen.

Tiffany asked, "Yasmine, who are you watching the movie with?"

"A friend,"

"Brother, she said she's with a friend,"

Every time Tiffany asked a question, she had to cover her phone's receiver and report it to her brother.

"Ask her what movie she's watching?"

Sebastian's eyes were already blazing with jealousy. "Yasmine, what movie are you watching?" "Brother, she said that she's watching 'A Mysterious Love'."

"More like 'A Scumbag's Love'!"

Sebastian was fuming. He turned around and left the room, shutting the door behind him with a bang.

Tiffany hung up the phone in a daze and grumbled discontentedly, "You can be angry all you want, but why did you have to slam my door..."

It was already half-past ten when the movie ended. Yasmine and Gabriel then left the cinema. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Gabriel, I'm going home. You should head back to the hotel earlier to rest."

"I'll give you a ride," Gabriel offered.

"It's alright. It's more convenient for me to take a taxi."

After that, Yasmine walked to the middle of the road. As she was in a hurry, she ran into a man riding an electric motorcycle. She shrieked as she was knocked to the ground.

"Madeline-!"

Gabriel shouted and ran over to her. He picked her up and asked, "Did you get hit? Let me have a look!"

She grimaced and shook her head. "I'm fine."

The electric motorcycle rider was frightened too. He squatted in front of her and asked, "Miss, I'm sorry, would you like to go to the hospital?"

"It's okay. I'm really fine."

Gabriel looked at her up and down carefully and saw that she had grazed her arm. He said out of distress, "How could you be fine? There's a scrape on your arm."

Even though she felt very sorry toward Gabriel, she believed her judgment. She was convinced that Gabriel would understand her.

The following day, Yasmine went to work in the company. However, she didn't see Sebastian the entire day. When she called Tiffany, she found out that Sebastian was so jealous and angry to the point that he refused to get out of bed.

She rushed home in the evening and approached Sebastian's room quietly. When she opened the door, she saw that he was not in bed. He was sitting on the couch and watching TV. She walked in with relief. "Why didn't you go to work today?"

Sebastian glanced at her indifferently. "Stay away from me."

She was stunned. "Are you still angry with me?" She purposely sat closer to him.

"Did I not tell you to stay away from me?!"

"What are you yelling at me for?"

Yasmine's temper also flared. "You were fooling around with another man for the entire night. How dare you ask me if I'm angry? Tell me, how could I not be furious?"

"What are you talking about? Who's fooling around with another man? Where did you see me fooling around with another man?"

"I saw it with my eyes! I saw Gabriel entering your apartment with you. I waited for half an hour and he didn't come out!"

Yasmine chuckled, "That's it? You misunderstood me completely. At that time, I was knocked down by an electric motorcycle and I had a scrape on my arm. He insisted on applying the medicine for me. After that, he said he was hungry so I cooked two bowls of instant noodles for him. He left once he finished the noodles."

"Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?"

Sebastian was still fuming from what had happened before, but now she was adding fuel to the fire burning in him, forcing him to explode in rage.

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask Gabriel about it!"

"Since you both are already together, it doesn't matter even if I ask. Forget it, I don't wanna argue with you. Since you have such a good relationship with him, you should just leave with him. At least I wouldn't feel as irritated if you two aren't here."

"Are you serious?"

Yasmine questioned with a livid face.

"It's true, you may leave now." With a whack, Yasmine grabbed a pillow on the sofa and hurled it at Sebastian. I'll leave then. I helped you to sort out your job in the day and your private life at night, yet you still act like a cocky arrogant bas*ard. I'm not going to do myself a disservice anymore by staying here!"

This was the first time Yasmine swore. Sebastian had really angered her until she could not take it anymore. She turned around to run out. Seeing that she was about to leave, Sebastian could not help but panic slightly. He quickly stepped forward, pulled her into his arms, and pressed her against the wall. Aan overwhelming torrent of kisses landed on her.

At this moment, the world started spinning around her. However, it felt as though the beast was returning...
