"Wait..."
Katherine
uttered.
"Why would she go upstairs? The higher the floor, the more privileged the person who stays there. Why would she go for the next floor?"
"Could she have made acquaintance with some important person at the party? Now she would have gone to meet him? I had seen her talking to many different businessmen during the fashion show. It could only be the reason. She could not possibly have owned a room on the next floor. The next floor is reserved for only VIP guests."
Katherine
said.
"Are you joking? Why would she have a room on the next floor? One of the guys under management staff was
Caroline Anderson's
admirer. He was
Caroline's
loyal fan and followed all her recent activities, so he had already known about the scandal. He was so eager to please
Caroline
that he risked his job to give
Jazmine Harrison
a room beside the staff members in exchange for an autograph. Besides, now even if she complained they wouldn't give her another room... And definitely not one on the top floor. All the rooms are already booked due to the fashion show. And the ones on the next floor are only for the important tycoons. There is no way she would have a room on that floor."
"What you say is logical. That means she is going there only to meet someone. Let us go and see... What do you say?"
Caroline
agreed, and they followed her upstairs. When they were right there, they saw something that stunned them to silence.
Jazmine Harrison
swiped the card and entered the most luxurious room of the hotel very leisurely.
...
Jazmine didn't mind such things much. If anything, it was all trouble for her to go find the next room. "At least I'll get rid of that crazy man. There would be no way that he got a room here besides mine."
Jazmine's
happiness was short-lived because later that day when she got out of her room for dinner,
Sebastian Crowne
was already standing outside her door.
Jazmine's
eyes twitched.
"What are you doing here?"
"My room is on this floor."
"I don't believe you."
Sebastian
flashed his keycard with a smile.
Jazmine
thought that he was starting to smile more and more. The first time she had met him, he was very cold. Slowly he was changing around her.
Jazmine
didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
"If this was your room why did you get another room beside mine?"
Jazmine
started to walk for the elevator.
Sebastian
trailed behind her.
Jazmine
didn't mind him following her.
"Wherever you go, I go."
Jazmine
rolled her eyes, but there was an undetectable smile on her lips. They both entered the elevator that headed for the down floor.
"You didn't state your purpose. Why were you standing outside my door?"
"I came here to ask you out for dinner,"
Sebastian
said without any reluctance.
"And you think I'll agree?"
Sebastian
fell silent.
Jazmine
knew what his silence meant.
Jazmine
fell into contemplation. There was no way she could have him stop chasing her with mere avoidance. She needed to actively do something in order to stop him. She quickly thought of a plan, and her lips turned up into a wicked smile.
She got out of the elevator, turned back to look at
Sebastian
, and said with a sweet smile, "Fine Mr. Crowne, I'll be waiting for you at 9 a.m."
Her smile was magnetizing. She looked like an innocent angel. At the same time, her beauty could seduce any man into oblivion. Her green eyes could charm one's heart with their allure.
Sebastian
froze for a moment. His eyes locked with her limpid eyes. Even though he didn't say anything, the happiness and shock were apparent in his dark pupils until the elevator door closed and cut their eye connection — and so the magic spell ended.
...
Jazmine
walked for some time before reaching
Amelia's
room. Strangely, the door was half-open. She raised her hand to push open the door and enter but stopped midway when she heard voices from inside.
"What? You are being ridiculous here! Are you sure it is not one of your countless fantasies?"
Frank's
voice came out.
"I swear there was someone in her room that night. Why would it be my fantasy?"
"Because you so desperately want her to dump
Su Liwei
and find a better person for her."
"Look, I don't like
Su Liwei
. That's a fact. I'll never like him after what you have told me — that he plans to harm our
Xiao Hua
. Tell me. Would you not like her to dump him and get over him? We both know he is the one she loved since she knew what love was. So if she gets over this useless relationship, isn't it a matter worth celebrating? That aside, it is not my fantasy. I swear! There was a man in her room!"
"How are you so sure that it was a man?"
"Because later that day, I wanted to try a restaurant with her, but I smelled something being cooked inside. I became curious because we both know that
Jazmine
can't cook. She would never try to cook something unless she wants to choke herself. When I neared, I heard a man's voice from inside her room."
There was a small pause while outside
Jazmine
wondered if her cooking was really that bad. Maybe she should try to feed that crazy man something and he'll change his mind about chasing her.
"So you want me to investigate if your speculation was right or not? And probably if this man is worth
Jazmine
or not?"
"I'm just worried about
Jazmine
. She has made a mistake once. I was unable to stop her back then. I don't want to make the mistake twice. I can't see her heartbroken. Don't you want the same thing?"
For a moment,
Jazmine's
eyes softened. She felt so lucky to have such wonderful friends. She was so ignorant to abandon them in her last life.
