Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 99

It was 7:30 pm.

Yasmin was the first to arrive at Maple Tower. Eunice followed shortly after, and they met at the entrance.

Eunice grabbed Yasmin's hand as soon as she got out of the car.

"You got divorced with Blake today?" Yasmin had told Eunice over WhatsApp, and she was genuinely concerned.

"We filed for divorce. The divorce certificate will be issued next month." Yasmin pursed her lips.

Eunice looked at her. "Yaz, are you okay?"

"I'm not sad at all. I've said it before. This is what I wanted. I'm finally free now." She smiled, her eyes hiding the sadness underneath.

Eunice stared at her for a moment, as if trying to figure out how to comfort her. She deliberately raised her voice and said, " That's great. Here's to Yaz starting a new chapter!"

Yasmin replied with a simple "Hmm" and lowered her eyes. No one could see the sadness in them.

She told herself not to dwell on it. The situation had resolved itself perfectly.

Suddenly, a Rolls-Royce Ghost pulled up in front of them.

Eunice looked inside and saw a man sitting with his legs crossed. His pants were ironed straight, and beside him was Giselle.

Eunice's face fell as she turned to Yasmin. "It's Blake and Giselle."

Yasmin's heart sank as Malcolm got out of the car. He circled to the back seat and opened the car door.

Blake got out of the car wearing a black striped shirt. He exuded nobility but had an unwelcoming demeanor. He had a stern expression.

Yasmin's heart stopped.

The shirt he wore was the one she had bought for him. They had filed for divorce, so why would he wear the anniversary gift she'd bought him?

As Yasmin's thoughts went wild, Giselle got out of the car. She was wearing a long white dress. She held Blake's arm and smiled at Yasmin. "Yasmin, what are you doing here?" Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"We're here for dinner, of course!" Eunice answered in her place. "She just got divorced from a scumbag, so we're here to celebrate!"

Hearing these words, Blake was expressionless. He seemed distant.

Malcolm noticed Yasmin and addressed her politely, "Mrs. Ford."

Giselle's composed mask wavered, but she still spoke gently to Blake. "Blake, Mr. Lawson's already inside. Shall we go in?"

They were here for a business meeting.

No wonder Blake was dressed so formally. It was a complete contrast to his meek appearance that morning.

Yasmin looked at his legs.

She wondered if he had taken the cast off his ankle.

She studied his walking posture. As he walked past her, she couldn't help but notice that he was walking normally. Perhaps he had recovered quite a bit.

Once they were gone, Eunice asked, "What's wrong? Do you regret it?"

Yasmin looked away. "No."

"Stop lying. I've known you for so long. I can see from your expression that you're not happy. Yasmin, if you don't want to let him go, get him back.

"We are born to love and hate. Don't be a coward."

Yasmin shook her head. "I won't do that."

If she tried to get him back, Stuart would stay in jail. Her greatest wish now was to wait for Stuart's release.

The two entered room 207.

After a while, the studio's assistants, Sarah Lewis and Amy Adams, arrived.

"Ms. Starr, Ms. Stalle, are we late?" they asked in unison.

Yasmin checked the time. "No, it's not even 7:50 pm. yet. Our reservation is for 8:30 pm. We're early."

"Is Mr. Burke here?" The two blushed. The last time they had met Ivan in the studio, they had been mesmerized by his good looks.
