Chapter 41 A New Friend

Giancarlo standing there made the people present tense to the extreme.

Jazmine was under a great deal of pressure as well.

Then Jazmine gave herself some pep talks, since it’s a public place here, it’s impossible that Giancarlo

would reveal our marriage. He won’t have the heart to hurt Yoselin like that. In that case, Giancarlo

won’t be able to

find any faults in what I said just now.

And if he decides to expel me, Aaron would definitely interfere.

At the thought of this, Jazmine straightened her back a little.

Finally, Giancarlo broke the suffocating silence.

“Come here.”

His eyes, as deep as holes, were locked on Jazmine. That meant he was talking to Jazmine, which

made

Jazmine’s heart jolt.

Jazmine was a little stunned.

She thought, what a surprise! Has Giancarlo decided to tell everyone that I’m his wife?

电

At that moment, Yoselin, who was next to Jazmine, walked with cheerful steps toward Giancarlo, who

then

turned around and left with Yoselin right away. As they walked, Jazmine could vaguely hear Yoselin’s

sweet

talk a bit.

“Giancarlo, why are you here? Are you looking for me? I didn’t know that Ms. Gardner worked here

until now. She is Aaron’s personal secretary. Isn’t that great? I will have someone to hang out with in

the future…”

Yoselin kept talking, but Jazmine couldn’t hear it clearly anymore.

But somehow, Giancarlo’s reply made it to Jazmine’s ears. “Your office table is in the president’s office.

You

can go home after work. But other than that, you should stay in our office.”

It was so overbearing, and that embarrassed Jazmine.

Jazmine thought, my husband, in front of me, should show such a domineering concern for a mistress!

What

is me to him anyway? And what a loser of me, who did not even dare to step forward and admit that I

was his

wife.

But I know I am the one to blame for all this! How I wish Giancarlo didn’t have my mother as leverage!

“Wow, how manly and bossy Mr. Giancarlo is. Now I am envious of Yoselin.”

Hearing this, another secretary came up and said, “Yoselin is Mr. Giancarlo’s wife–to–be. Don’t get

jealous, and try to butter up Yoselin more. That will guarantee you a promising future.”

Just like that, those secretaries laughed and chatted away.

Jazmine found the secretariat suffocating and therefore decided to go outside to get some fresh air

while calming herself a bit.

The girl she inquired about followed her out of the secretariat.

“Aren’t you, right?”

The girl caught up with Jazmine and asked.

Jazmine, who was walking away, halted and turned around to look at the girl in confusion.

Her fair–skinned and clean face suggested that she was young. At first glance, she seemed like a

student. But after she ran up to Jazmine, it turned out that the two of them were about the same height.

That being said, Jazmine failed to take the young lady as a peer. She was more like a younger sister to

Jazmine.

Jazmine smiled, “What?”

The girl stopped in her tracks, her eyes wide open and her young face filled with seriousness.

“I don’t think you are Mr. Aaron’s girlfriend, am I right?”

The girl’s question was beyond Jazmine’s expectations.

And thanks to the girl, Jazmine no longer felt bitter. Therefore, she smiled again, “You are right. I am

just a

secretary.”

The girl breathed a sigh of relief and introduced herself.

“My name is Martha Myers. I have been in the company for half a year now as Adrian Cobb’s assistant

secretary. Like you, I also work for Mr. Aaron.”

Adrian was Aaron’s assistant.

Together with Jazmine, Adrian served as Aaron’s right–hand man.

Jazmine thought, Martha must be cottoning up to me so as to gain ground in the company. But I don’t

intend

to take part in any dramas here. All I want is a bit of freedom and protection for my mother.

“Hello, I am Jazmine Gardner.”

Martha breathed a sigh of relief and smiled in a lovely manner. She struck people as a lovable younger

sister.

The two then became friends.

And Jazmine hadn’t met Giancarlo again since he left the secretariat.

But Jazmine didn’t feel any relief because of that since, in her eyes, Giancarlo was just ruthless, so

ruthless

that, despite hating Jazmine, he refused to divorce her. Why would a person like him make it easy for

Jazmine to work here in the Tapia Group?

It was eight o’clock in the evening.

A car drove close to the Tapia’s home.

Jazmine stiffened in an instant, and her heart began to pound.

She grinned and laughed at herself. It was clearly not her who was in the wrong, and yet she was so

afraid.

There were three people who had arrived.

They were Giancarlo, Yoselin, and Aaron. The moment they opened the door, Aaron’s hearty smile

sounded,

and then some praise.

“I didn’t expect that Yoselin would be so competent. We should have hired her long before.”

Giancarlo, reserved as always, nodded briefly. Jazmine, on the other hand, was confused, thinking,

was that a

compliment? But after a whole day’s work, Yoselin struck me as anything but competent.

Quite the contrary, Yoselin spent a whole day being complimented.

It’s not that I’m jealous. But she really doesn’t deserve the compliment at all. And what is with her

smugness

anyway?

Well, that being said, I have to live with it.

Now is not the time.

At that moment, Aaron noticed Jazmine and asked curiously, “Why didn’t you turn on the lights?”

Before Jazmine could answer, he added, “Did you come here to welcome us? How nice of you!

Giancarlo is

lucky to have you.”

Yoselin’s expression changed greatly, but she did not say anything.

Giancarlo’s face darkened as well. Then he said straightforwardly, not caring how Jazmine felt at all,

“Aaron, I was serious about what I told you before.”

The smile on Aaron’s face faded a little, and his face, where there was always a kind expression,

became more

serious.

Then after sweeping around Jazmine’s and Giancarlo’s faces a few times, he frowned, his face full of

disapproval.

“You’re married. There shouldn’t be all this tension between you two.”

Jazmine knew that Aaron had been siding with Jazmine the entire time and did not agree with their

divorce. Therefore, she didn’t find Aaron’s words surprising. What surprised Jazmine was that Yoselin

stood quietly behind Giancarlo without making any fuss.

Instead, Yoselin looked as if she was wronged and was also patient enough.

Obviously, Aaron was the one who was holding her back.

Due to that, Jazmine admired Aaron greatly since not everyone could restrain a woman like Yoselin.

“Aaron, I will handle my own matters. Jazmine, why are you still here? Shouldn’t you be fixing the meal

now?” Giancarlo said coldly.

Aaron waved his hand. “Giancarlo! Since I live by myself and cook for myself all the time, let me cook

for you once if you don’t mind.”

Jazmine then said, “Aaron, then I will be your sous–chef.”

With that, under the gloomy gaze of Giancarlo, Jazmine and Aaron entered the kitchen.

Yoselin gloated.
