Winning Her Heart Again novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Date?

Jasmine's POV

I chuckled and crossed my arms. I saw how he smiled and fixed himself to look presentable.

I smiled broadly, and he thought that I would agree easily.

“ Mr. Peterson, I'm sorry to reject you, but I have no interest in dating.” I politely said and excused myself, but he walked beside me.

“ I'm just kidding. I shouldn't leave a bad impression on someone who is as gorgeous as you, especially since this is our first meeting, Ms. Stewart.” He winked at me, and I secretly rolled my eyes.

Did he think that he could get me by doing that stuff? I stopped and looked at him.

“ Mr. Peterson, I'll just find another way to compensate you,” I said. I was about to walk away when I suddenly tripped. I closed my eyes and waited for my face to bump on the floor, but seconds had passed, and I found myself in Paul's hand.

He caught me, and his face was too close to me. He's staring at me like crazy.

We had just separated when I heard someone cough. Paul helped me stand up, his hand still on my waist.

“ Travis! Cousin!” he exclaimed. There, I realized that they are related to each other. I thought he would accept Paul's hand, but he didn't. Paul just chucked at him and looked at me.

“ You know each other?” Stacy asked him, pointing at me. Does she have to know everything?

“ Yes, and I'm courting her” My eyes widened because of what he said. What the?! Is he for real?!

I looked at him and glared, but he just laughed. I sighed and looked at Travis, who was now showing a dark expression, while Stacy was surprised—as always.

“Oh! I didn't know that you were too close with different guys!” She furrowed her eyebrows. Here she goes again.

I hate seeing her here, and I especially feel allergic to her presence.

“ Jasmine is just friendly. And that's what I like about her” he winked at me, and I just smiled at him.

I think I have to enjoy this night. Just this night. I smirk and look at Paul.

“ Paul, could you please take your hands off me for a while?” I politely said, and he laughed and did what I said. I'm not comfortable with his hands on my waist.

“ I'm sorry, babe,” he laughed and fixed himself. What a jerk. He already thought of something that he could call me.

She's right. When her company went into great bankruptcy, she asked for help, and I didn't hesitate to invest money. Now I don't regret doing it.

“ That's why I want to thank you, and please enjoy this night, " she said, and everyone stood up and clapped, not including those two monkeys in the middle.

I went back to my seat, and I saw how Paul smiled so big.

“ That was impressive, babe,” he winked, and I just laughed at him. I enjoyed how Stacy glared at me while Travis showed a cold expression.

“ That was just nothing” I smiled broadly, and he offered me a drink again, and I accepted it. While Stacy excused herself and went to the restroom.

“ Here, take some more,” he offered me a glass of champagne again, but before I could accept it, someone snatched it in my hands and drank it in just one gulp.

I looked at him, his eyes on fire, while looking at Paul, who showed no reaction at all and just smiled at me.

He poured another drink into my glass and gave it to me, but Travis snatched it from me again and drank it. He looked at me with a serious face.

“ You have to go home now.”
