Armand looked nervously at the phone. He didnât know when Boyce had come. He was startled when Boyce approached. His body leaned back and the small chair tipped, making him fall to the floor.
After a moment, Armandâs eyes widened, âBoyce, what are you doing?â
Boyce stood, looking down at him from above, âHave you done something wrong? How come youâre this scared?â.
âYouâre the one who did something wrong!â Armand glared at him. He got up from the floor while patting his buttocks. He didnât sit down again.
The chair was too short and it was not comfortable to sit in. To be precise, it was not suitable for tall people to sit in. Otherwise, they had to bend their legs and adopt an uncomfortable posture. Jasmine poured him a glass of water, âDrink it.â
Armand reached out to take the glass of water. He didnât drink it immediately, but asked her, âIf Boyce makes fun of you, youâll be very angry, wonât you, and will you even ignore him?â
Jasmine blinked, âIs he the kind of guy who makes fun of people?â
Armand was speechless.
He thought that Jasmine was right too, since Boyce was very much a meathead and it was normal that he didnât know how to joke around with girls.
âYou teased your girlfriend and she ignores you?â Jasmine looked at Armandâs distressed look and guessed.
Armand laughed a little and explained, âWe have a good relationship. I donât think she has time to answer me now.â
He didnât want others to know how inferior he was in this relationship.
âYou seem very nervous to me,â Jasmine said sincerely. If she wasnât looking at the phone too intently right now, she wouldnât be freaking out about Boyce either.
âNervous?â Armand tried to show a calm look, âIâm nervous?â
Armand, who forced himself to show a calm look, was sympathetic and amused.
Jasmine held back laughter. He shook his head and said, âYouâre not nervous. Youâre just a little anxious.â
He was anxious because his girlfriend didnât respond to his message.
Armand laughed. He knew he probably couldnât hide his emotions. He pointed to Boyce and Jasmine, âYou have to treat me right today. Iâm going out to make a call.â
With that, Armand left the house. He called Jasmine. It was very difficult for him to meet with her. Therefore, he felt nervous if Theresaâs behavior was a little abnormal, as he feared something bad would happen.
In fact, Theresa also deliberately did not choose to respond to his message. A customer had come into her store and she went to take care of him. Her phone remained in the office. After the customer had chosen the model, she only returned to the office after dismissing her customer. At that point, it was already the third call she had made. He picked up to answer the call.
âTheresa?â
Theresa frowned, âItâs me.â
âWhat have you been doing, why havenât you answered my message? You make me feel very worried.â She said with some aggravation.
âI was attending to the customer â why were you continually calling me?â
âI was very nervous because you werenât answering my call.â Armand smiled.
Jasmine, who was inside the house, could only see Armandâs expression. She couldnât hear what he said, but it looked like his girlfriend had answered his call.
âArmand really likes his girlfriend, doesnât he?â asked Jasmine to Boyce. Even though it was something unimportant, she could see how much Armand cared about her.
Boyce nodded, âWell, itâs not easy getting back together.â
Jasmine became interested in his story, âTell me more.â
âThey had been through a lot and itâs not easy to summarize their story. In short, they have gone through a lot of hardships to get back together. Besides, youâll find it unbelievable if I tell you the whole story.â Boyce understood Armandâs mood.
Jasmine tilted her head to give Boyce a glance, âDo you have a lot of memories with him?â
Boyce nodded, âYes, many.â
Jasmine looked down, âYou go chat with your friend first. Iâll go get the food ready first.â
She was a little upset because she felt she hadnât experienced much with Boyce.
At that moment, Armand was still talking on the phone. Perhaps because it was too hot outside, she ran to a car not too far away to sit inside. He closed the windows and turned on the air conditioner.
Boyce didnât come over to disturb his conversation with Theresa, but followed Jasmine, âIâll help you.â
Jasmine said, âNo need.â
Boyce was not smart, but he could also tell that Jasmine was not happy, âWhatâs the matter with you, did I say something wrong again?â
âNo.â Jasmine cocked her head and looked at him, âItâs just that I feel like I know very little about you.â
In fact, she wasnât trying to explore Boyceâs past and privacy. She simply felt she knew too little about the people and things around him.
She liked this man, naturally she wanted to know more about him and his friends.
She didnât want to feel like a stranger when she was with them.
Boyce told her directly and decently, âWhat do you want to know? Iâll tell you later.â
Jasmine smiled, âIâll spend the rest of my life listening to your story. As long as you donât leave me in the middle, I wonât stop listening to it.â
Armand, who had just entered the house after ending the call, clicked his tongue at Jasmineâs words as he entered the house. He couldnât help but tease her, âYou are worthy of being a graduate of a famous university since your words are so romantic.â
Jasmine was not embarrassed to hear his words and replied, âYour girlfriend is no longer angry with you?â
âOur relationship is very good. She wonât be angry with me.â This time, Armand became arrogant and acted as if he was superior, âI will be the one who will be angry with her.â
Jasmine didnât know Armand well, but Boyce knew how many times she had experienced despair between them before Theresa promised to start over with him.
âMay I convey to Theresa the words you just said?â said Boyce faintly, but Armand could sense that she was trying to warm him up.
Armand immediately straightened up, âWhy are you so annoying, did you learn to complain about others, did you learn it from your little girlfriend?â
Boyce thought he had a big age difference with his girlfriend and didnât know her mind well. That was why Armand kept calling Jasmine his little girlfriend. He felt uncomfortable as if he had done something wrong.
He gave a serious look to Armand, âWhoâs older?â.
âYou.â Armand knew what Boyce was referring to after hearing his words and said quietly, âYouâre not married yet? Even if you get married already⦠I wonât call her that.â
She was too young.
âThen could you call Dolores that?â. questioned Boyce, as Dolores was much younger than Jasmine when she was Matthewâs wife.
Armand argued, âItâs not the same thing.â
Boyce asked, âWhatâs the difference then?â.
Armand scratched his head, âDoâ¦. Dolo⦠Dolores and Matthew are married and, naturally, I called her that. Besides, Theresa has a good relationship with Dolores.â
Boyce doesnât care what she thought: âYouâre younger than me anyway. I donât care about you now. In the future, you must call Jasmine properly when we get married.â Armand was speechless.
He blinked and looked at Jasmine. He was silent for a moment and said, âYou can tell me after you get married.â
After finishing his words, he left the house, âIâm off to enjoy the beautiful surrounding area.â
Jasmine learned some facts from their conversation. She had also met Matthew before and had an impression of him. After all, he was a great boss.
The aura he displayed was naturally unforgettable.
âYour friendâs wife isnât too old either?â asked Jasmine.
Boyce nodded sincerely, âWell, when we get back, Iâll introduce you to them.â
Jasmine nodded in agreement and asked, âIs Armandâs girlfriend old?â
She was relieved, as before this she had feared she would not be able to fit in with them. But now she knew that she was not too young among them, so she also felt very relieved. After all, her friendâs wife was not too old.
After being questioned by Jasmine, Boyce discovered something. It seemed that the girlfriends of the three of them were quite young.
