Chapter 169
The Contract Marriage
David had been busy in his hotel all the way until the afternoon, because he had not returned in a monthâs time. There were a lot of accounts in the hotel that needed to be solved by him personally.
Seeing that it was almost time for Wilson Group to get off work, he thought about the promise he made to Jasmine that he would go to the reunion with her this morning. He packed up his desk, took the car keys, and drove to Wilson Group.
When the car drove to the square in front of Wilson Group, David happened to see Sarah drive her car away. David greeted her through the window and parked the car in the square. He quickly got out of the car and went to Jasmineâs office.
The elevator arrived. Soon, David came out of the elevator and saw Jasmineâs office door open. He lifted his foot and walked in.
Jasmine had just finished dealing with the last document when she saw him walk in. She smiled and raised her eyebrows. âI thought Assistant Brown had stage fear and did not dare to go with me.â
David heard her and smiled. âWhat does stage fear mean? This is the first time I have heard of this term!â
âAlright! Youâre worthy of being my assistant. You must have such confidence.â Jasmine stood up as she spoke and walked in front of David in a short while. âBut even though you have confidence, I still want to give you a precautionary measure!â
âWhat is it?â
âI was the class monitor of our class. Many of the male students in the class chased me. But I didnât take a fancy to any of them. Many of them are now millionaires. If they knew that you were just one of my assistants. . . Itâs very likely that they will cause you trouble. When the time comes, donât be so scared and run away.â Jasmine said as she smiled and walked out of the office with him.
âJust because Iâm an assistant now doesnât mean Iâll always be an assistant. Donât worry, no matter what they say, I wonât run away.â David didnât mind and smiled as he followed her into the elevator.
âThatâs good. I was worried that you would not be able to handle it. â
âIs there something that the Vice President is worried about? I always thought that you would be able to handle all situations!â
âOh right, I have to remind you. When we get to the cocktail party, donât call me Vice President anymore. Just call me by my name.â
âAlright!â David nodded slightly.
Jasmine looked at him thoughtfully and a faint smile appeared on her lips as she looked forward.
When the two of them walked out of the companyâs lobby, David saw Jasmineâs red Maserati parked in front of the lobby. He immediately took the car keys to the driverâs seat and watched Jasmine sit in the passengerâs seat. Then he started the car and left Wilson Group.
David originally thought that the place he and Jasmine were going to was definitely a hotel or some high-end club. But he never would have thought that Jasmine would bring him to the Wilson Family villa!
When he parked the red Maserati in the courtyard of the villa, he saw Syrusâs yellow Ferrari sports car.
David then looked at the castle-like villa in front of him. He looked at the yard of the villa and saw maids passing by from time to time. He frowned slightly and turned to look at Jasmine who was beside him.
âVice President, the cocktail party you mentioned wouldnât be held here, right?â
Jasmine nodded frankly. âYes! It will be held here! Get out of the car!â
Jasmine opened the car door and got out of the car as she spoke. She walked around the front of the car and walked in front of David. âLetâs go! Letâs go into the living room and take a look.â
âWait a minute!â David felt that something was not right.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you really scared?â Jasmine looked at him with amusement.
âCan you tell me whose home this is?â
âOf course it is my home.â
âYour home?â David asked, a little speechless. This situation was out of his expectations, and he did not expect it.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you scared?â
âDidnât you say. . . You want to take me to a classmate cocktail party?â David felt like he had been duped.
âCanât I hold a classmate cocktail party at my own home?â
âThatâs not what I meant. . .â Before David could finish his words, he saw pairs of handsome men and beautiful women walking over with their arms crossed. He immediately swallowed his words.
âHi! Jasmine!â The first person to walk over and greet Jasmine was the man in a let go of his girlfriendâs hand. He directly extended his arm and passionately hugged Jasmine.
Jasmine did not refuse. Instead, she looked at David beside her and smiled as she introduced, âThis is my old classmate, Charlie.â
David heard Jasmineâs words and immediately extended his hand politely to the man. âHello.â
Charlie also looked at David and also politely extended his hand. âHello! We were just talking about the boyfriend Jasmine brought tonight. He must be the most outstanding one among us. Now that I look at him, he is indeed extraordinary. You arenât classmates with Jasmine in Harvard, are you?â Charlie asked David with a smile as he spoke.
âMr. Charlie misunderstood. Iâm just her assistant.â David answered frankly.
Davidâs straightforward answer surprised him. Charlie looked at David in surprise, then looked at Jasmine, who was beside him. He laughed in disbelief. âHaha! Mr. Brown really knew how to joke!
Jasmine is not an ordinary woman. You must have deliberately concealed your identity. I understand.
You want to keep a low profile!â
Jasmine did not mind Charlieâs words. Instead, she smiled and held Davidâs arm. She looked at Charlie and replied, âCharlie, he did not lie to you. He is my assistant!â Jasmine said and looked at David.
âLetâs go! Letâs go to the living room first.â
David nodded and followed her to the door of the living room in the villa!
Charlie and his girlfriend were stunned on the spot. They looked at David and Jasmineâs back in disbelief. After a while, they could not calm down. âAre you kidding me? If he really is an assistant, I will take his surname!â
David followed Jasmine along the marble path in front of the villa and walked towards the door of the villa. The courtyard of the villa was very big. Music kept coming from the side of the villa. It sounded like a baronâs music. It was very pleasant to hear. There were maids carrying exquisite desserts that passed by the two of them from time to time.
Every time, someone would greet Jasmine. Jasmine only lightly nodded her head. She held Davidâs arm and stepped onto a few steps. After walking on a flat path, they finally walked to the living room of the villa.
âAiyo, Second Sister. Why did you invite Assistant Brown here today?â
Before the two of them walked in, they saw Syrus wearing a pure white suit. He stood in front of the two of them in high spirits, looking at his second sister with a charming smile on his face. After a while, he laid his eyes on David. There was a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
His second sister had never brought a man home. He didnât expect that the first time when she brought someone home, it would be her assistant, David!
This was more or less out of his expectations!
David immediately nodded slightly to Syrus and greeted, âPresident. . . â
Syrus also nodded slightly and his gaze fell on Jasmine.
âWhat do you mean? If I brought an assistant, will it embarrass you?â Jasmine raised her chin and pulled David into the living room of the villa.
Syrus immediately smiled happily. âSecond Sister, look at what you said. I want to tell you something.â
Jasmine stopped in her tracks and looked at her brother. âWhatâs wrong?â
âToday is your birthday anyway. The whole family is waiting for your birthday to come back. If you go in now, you will be the center of attention!â Syrus replied with a smile.
âSo what?â She had always been the center of attention. So this kind of thing was nothing to her.
David heard Syrusâs words and felt a little awkward. He looked at Jasmine, who was at the side, and said, âToday is the Vice Presidentâs birthday? Didnât you say it was a classmate cocktail party?â
He didnât even prepare a gift.
âIâve arranged a get to gather party for my birthday. Also, itâs private time now, donât call me Vice President anymore, call me by my name!â Jasmine was a little depressed when she heard him call her by his name.
Syrus immediately smiled mischievously. He looked at David and said, âYes! And today is my sisterâs birthday. All her classmates and friends are here. When the time comes, you stand beside her and call her Vice President, my sister will lose face.â
With his keen sense of sight, Syrus instantly saw through Jasmineâs thoughts. She, who always rejected men from thousands of miles away, not only did she bring back this David who had once molested her, she actually didnât allow him to call for her position. There was something fishy going on!
