âMr. Burke, why are you here?â Yasmin asked, surprise evident on her face.
âI just wanted to take a look at your studio and also check on your hand.â
As Ivan spoke, his gaze fell on Yasminâs left hand. âDoes it still hurt today?â
âNot anymore,â replied Yasmin. Even though she knocked her hand earlier, the pain had
subsided.
Ivan took out an ointment and continued, âI brought an imported cream for you. Itâs effective for
reducing swelling and bruises. Try it.â
âThank you.â Yasmin accepted the ointment.
Roxy was baffled as she watched their interaction. She liked Ivan, but he had always been
indifferent to her.
Why was he so gentle to Yasmin? Moreover, Ivan was doing it in front of Blake. Wasnât he
afraid that Blake would tell him off?
âGiselle, whatâs going on?â Roxy asked with confusion.
Not only did Yasmin appear composed, but Blake and Giselle seemed unfazed, too. The
situation seemed unreal to Roxy.
Giselle responded gently, âDonât you know about this? Ivan and Yasmin went on a blind date
yesterday. Theyâre happy with each other.â
Blake looked at her upon hearing that.
Giselle explained, âMrs. Ford Senior told me about it. She said Ivan is happy with Yasmin.â
âWhatâs going on?â Roxy was perplexed. âWhy did they go on a blind date? Isnât Yasmin
married?â
Giselle replied softly, âBlake and Yasmin are in a marriage of convenience. They have no feelings
for each other and have long agreed theyâd pursue their own happiness. Havenât you.
heard about it?â
Roxy was stunned after learning about that. She could not believe it. How did things turn out in such
a way?
She looked at Blake, but he remained silent with a sullen expression.
Left with no choice, Roxy could only ask Yasmin.
âYasmin, is it true that you and Blake are in a marriage of convenience? You donât have feelings for
each other as well?â
Giselle answered on behalf of Yasmin, âItâs true. Yasmin told me herself a few days ago.â
On the other hand, Blake narrowed his eyes, staring at Yasmin. His expression was shrouded
in mystery.
His intent gaze weighed heavily on Yasmin. Nevertheless, she still nodded. âYes, itâs true.â
In an instant, Blakeâs expression grew colder.
Giselle chimed in, âYou heard that, didnât you? There are no romantic feelings between Blake and
Yasmin. They have always been living separate lives.â
Roxy seemed affected by the news. She shook her head, ran over to Ivan, and inquired, Ivan, did
you really go on a blind date with Yasmin yesterday?â
âYes.â
Roxy asked again, âWas it voluntary?â
âOf course it is,â said Ivan.
He glanced at Yasmin before answering seriously, âYasmin is great, and I admire her.
A wave of jealousy surged within Roxy, compelling her to attack Yasmin.
However, Ivan was quick to react. He immediately shielded Yasmin in his arms and pushed
Roxy away.
His stern gaze bore into Roxy as he questioned, âRoxy Ford, what are you trying to do?â
Following that, Roxy fell to the ground.
âRoxy, are you okay?â Giselle exclaimed.
Roxy shouted, âI donât believe it!â
She could not accept the truth. Tears immediately streamed down her face. So, she covered her
face and rushed out.
âRoxy!â Giselle called out. She then asked the assistant to follow Roxy.
With that, the drama came to an end.
Ivan gazed at Yasmin in his arms. With a soft voice, he asked, âYouâre fine, right?â
âYes, I am,â Yasmin replied as she stepped out of his embrace.
Then, she instinctively glanced at Blake. He stood rooted to his spot, exuding an imposing air while
looking at them.
Yasmin ignored him. She turned to ask Ivan, âDid you come just to give me the ointment?â
âNot only that, I also want you to make a customized suit,â Ivan responded with a smile.
Erinnyes offered customization services for both womenâs and menâs attire.
Yasmin didnât expect to have two business deals in a day.
âPlease wait awhile on the couch outside. Let me finish taking Ms. Giselleâs measurements, and Iâll
come find you,â she told Ivan.
âSure.â
After saying that, Ivan and his secretary walked out.
So, only Yasmin, Blake, and Giselle were left in the display area.
