Chapter 222
The Contract Marriage
âTsk. . .â Kendall looked at her back and pursed her lips.
When Jasmine walked into Davidâs office, she saw him holding a document to read. She smiled and closed the door. She walked in front of him and waved her hand.
David put down the document in his hand and looked at Jasmine, who was opposite him, and asked with a smile, âYou are the person who follows the companyâs rules the most in Wilson Group. Why did you open the door for yourself today and get off work early?â
Jasmine smiled. âThe Vice President has paid too much for Wilson Group, so from now on, Vice President of Wilson Group will also play favorites and cheating. . .â
David listened to her and looked at her with one hand on his forehead. âIf I expose you once, I wonder if there will be any rewards?â
âOf course! Call my dad and he will reward you 100%!â
âThen forget it.â
Jasmine heard his words and smiled. She looked at David and blinked her big eyes. âDavid, I want to discuss something with you.â
âYes, say it. What do you want to discuss with me?â
âI want to resign from the position of Vice President of Wilson Group.â
âWhy?â David looked at her in confusion.
âI have thought about a lot of things in the past two days. I feel that I have done too many things in the company. There are a lot of things that my brother should handle, but I have done all of them for him. I feel that not only will this deprive my brother of his rights, but it will also mislead others. I want to give myself more time now, so I want to resign!â
David heard her words and smiled. âYou were originally a shareholder of Wilson Group, and if you really resign, your father will definitely not agree.â
âAs long as I make a decision, my father will always agree. So my dad is not a problem. Other people arenât a problem either. I just want to ask your opinion. I want to resign. Will you agree?â
âEven if youâre right, let me ask you, what will you do after you resign? Although your family is rich, and you donât have to worry about your future life, shouldnât you have some pursuits in life?â
âI want to start a business with you!â Jasmine looked at him and directly replied.
âWith me?â David looked at her in surprise.
âYes! Letâs start a business together! I have always been very familiar with the Wilson Groupâs hotel business. If I start a business with you, it will definitely not be a problem. We can make Savid Tower into a five-star hotel. . .â
âWait a minute!â David raised his hand and interrupted her. He looked at her and said, âJasmine, you said you would not interfere with my work.â
Jasmineâs eyes flashed. She looked at him and said, âI will not help you with a single cent from the Wilson Group. Is this not okay?â
David sighed. âDonât you think your work is good now? If you come to my place, you wonât even have an office. And my hotel is just a small hotel, thatâs all. I donât agree with this plan. Youâd better give up.â
Jasmine already knew that he would not agree. She looked at him and smiled. âI already knew that you would reply to me like this. Forget it, just pretend that I did not say anything.â
David smiled. He lifted his watch and looked at the time. Then he stood up. âLetâs go. Thereâs nothing much to do today. We can leave now. Tell me, what are you going to treat me to this afternoon? Donât tell me you made it yourself again? â
âWhat? Canât do it?â
âSure. Iâm just afraid that you wonât be able to do it.â
âUnderestimating people! Iâll do it for you one day!â
âOkay, Iâll wait.â
The two of them went downstairs while joking and then left the hotel lobby together. When they were in the car, Jasmine directly pulled his hand and walked to her own car. âToday I am treating you to a meal, so you need to take my car.â
David smiled and shook his head. He opened the door and sat in the car. Jasmine also quickly sat in the driverâs seat. When she put her hand on the car key, she turned her head and looked at David.
âDavid, what do you want to do this afternoon?â
âI am not very busy.â
âCan we go and watch a movie after dinner?â
âWhy did you suddenly think of watching a movie?â
âI just want to watch it with you.â
âSure, but isnât watching a movie something that can only be done at night?â
Jasmine heard his words and immediately raised her eyebrows. âOkay, Iâll listen to you. Weâll go watch it at night.â After saying that, she quickly started the car and left Savid Tower.
He had a very good lunch, and he had to admit that. . . Ever since that night, the distance between the two of them had become much closer.
During lunch, Jasmine did not mention anything about resigning again. After the two of them had lunch together, Jasmine sent David back to Savid Tower, and then started the car and went back to the Wilson Group.
The car quickly stopped in front of the lobby of Wilson Group. Jasmine took her bag and got out of the car. Just as she closed the door, she heard a person beside her call her name.
âJasmine. . .â Jasmine immediately turned her head and saw that the person standing not far away was Davidâs mother. She immediately walked over with a smile.
âAuntie, why are you here?â
âJasmine, Auntie wants to talk to you, so I took the liberty to come over. I wonât disturb you, right?â Mrs.
Brown looked at Jasmine and smiled embarrassedly.
âOf course not. You wonât disturb me! Since you are here, then letâs go to my office. Auntie, can I?â
Mrs. Brown immediately nodded her head, âYes! Yes!â
Jasmine smiled and brought Mrs. Brown into the hall. She then entered the elevator and went to her office. The two of them walked out of the elevator and Mrs. Brown looked at the luxuriously decorated corridor in front of her. As she walked, she could not help but sigh. âOh my, Jasmine. Your family is really amazing. Look at this company. Itâs really good! Good!â
Mrs. Brown had never been to such a place in her entire life. This was her first time coming here today, and it really opened her eyes.
Jasmine heard her words and smiled. She brought her to her office. When they passed by the secretariat Room, Jasmineâs secretary walked over. âVice President, there is a guest who has been waiting for you.â
âWhat guest? Who asked you to let him in?â Jasmine looked at the secretary angrily and questioned.
âHe said his name is Charlie, and he is your fiancé! He even took out a photo of you and him. So I. . .â
The secretary nervously lowered his head.
Jasmine frowned and walked into her office. As expected, she saw her former boyfriend Charlie sitting on the sofa drinking coffee and leisurely sitting with his legs crossed. His slender fingers were still lightly tapping on his knees, looking relaxed and at ease.
When he saw Jasmine walk in with an unfamiliar woman, Charlie immediately got up from the sofa and walked towards Jasmine with a smile.
âOh. . . My dear, you are finally back!â Charlie walked in front of Jasmine with a few steps and spread out his arms to give her a big hug. When he let go of her, he even kissed her on the face before smiling and letting go of her.
Mrs. Brown looked at the scene in front of her and felt a little depressed. She originally wanted to talk to Jasmine for a while but she did not expect to see such a scene. She looked at the two people hugging and sighed. She shook her head and walked out of Jasmineâs office.
âAuntie. . .â Jasmine looked at Mrs. Brownâs back and wanted to keep her but was stopped by Charlie.
Jasmine looked at Charlie in front of her and frowned, âWhy did you come to China?â
Charlie raised his eyebrows and smiled as he replied, âWhy canât I come to China? Didnât you say that as long as I agree to give up on my French career, you will agree to marry me? My dear, I will keep my word. You should also fulfill your promise now. . .â
Jasmine heard his words and could not help but laugh out loud, âYou came to me to fulfill your promise five years later? Donât you think it is too ridiculous?â
âBut I still love you. I came to China. Because I know youâre not married, and you donât have a boyfriend. I know you love me too, dear. I canât forget the days and nights we spent together. . .â
Charlie reached out and took out a dazzling diamond ring. He knelt down on one knee in front of Jasmine. âMy dear, as long as you are willing, we can immediately register for marriage.â
Jasmine looked at the man on the ground with a cold smile. âCharlie, donât you think you are too much?
You did not give up your career in five years. Why did you give up now? Donât think I donât know anything because I am in the country. Your company in France declared bankruptcy a few months ago.
You have nothing, thatâs why you think of me now, right? Get out of here right now. I donât want to see you for a moment!â
âMy dear, you canât do this to me. I have feelings for you. . .â Charlie heard her words and reached out to hug Jasmineâs legs. âYou are right, I am bankrupt, but I really like you. . .â
âSecurity!â Jasmine looked at the door and shouted.
The security guards quickly appeared at the office door and looked at the scene inside. They did not know what to do. âVice President. . .â
âInvite him out!â
Charlie heard Jasmineâs words and held her leg tightly. âDear, you canât do this to me. . . I came all the way from France to see you. . .â
âYouâve seen it now! Let go of me!â
âI wonât let go! I wonât let go for the rest of my life!â
âCan you have some dignity?â
âI have nothing now. Jasmine, you are my only hope now. Please help me!â
âGet up first!â Jasmine glared at him and said coldly.
âPromise me first! If you promise me, I will get up!â
A few security guards entered Jasmineâs office and took Charlie out of Jasmineâs office without any explanation.
âJasmine. . . You canât just leave him to die like this. . . . Jasmine. . .â Charlieâs voice came from the corridor.
âVice President, Iâm sorry. . .â The secretary did not expect things to be like this. He stood in front of Jasmine with a guilty face.
Jasmine waved her hand gloomily. âForget it, letâs go to work!â
Jasmine walked to her leather chair and sat down. Thinking about Charlie just now, she bit her lips gloomily.
