Chapter 146
“Your uncle might try to cause you trouble a few more times.
"But you must remember the harm they've done to you, and you mustn't go easy on them.” Blake advised Yasmin.
Yasmin nodded, her face growing even redder. "I understand.”
"What's making you blush?" Blake leaned in close, his lips almost touching hers and charging the air between them even more.
Yasmin felt flustered and didn't dare to meet Blake's eyes. So, she looked at his lips instead and said, "Nothing, just... let go of me, I need to help you get dressed."
"Do you like me?" Blake suddenly smiled, as if he could see right through her.
Yasmin felt like he'd hit the nail on the head.
Her pupils were quivering as she said, "Of course not.”
"But your face says otherwise." Blake's lips curled up. "Now that you know I'm the one who's been good to you, are you feeling something?” He pulled her even closer.
Yasmin felt uneasy and turned her head away. "Stop hugging me. Let go."
"You haven't properly thanked me yet." Blake said as he looked at her plump lips.
"Didn't I just say ‘thank you'?”
"I want this kind of 'thank you'.”
With that, Blake kissed her, and Yasmin's breathing halted. This kiss was different from their previous one.
Before, Yasmin was reluctant. But this time, she felt moved, and her emotions were in turmoil.
She'd already liked Blake. And now that she'd been moved by him, her feelings opened like a floodgate, impossible to hold back...
When Yasmin got to her studio, she was still trying to process everything as she stared blankly at the pile of drawings on her desk. Eunice waved her hand in front of Yasmin's face. "Yaz? What are you daydreaming about?”
Yasmin snapped back to reality and said, "Nothing. what's up?"
Then, she noticed that Eunice was carrying a bag on her back.
"I'm heading to Harnyon City for a few days on a business trip. Just wanted to let you know.” Eunice said.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"Okay." Yasmin replied. "Need me to drop you off at the airport?”
"No need. Colin is driving me there." Eunice smiled sweetly.
Seeing Eunice so happy made Yasmin feel relieved.
After Eunice left, Yasmin got busy with her work.
In the evening, Magnolia and her daughter, Brittany Starr, came to the studio looking for Yasmin.
"Ms. Starr, your relatives are here to see you,” Sarah called out to Yasmin
So. Yasmin went downstairs to meet them
Magnolia kneeled as soon as she saw Yasmin and pleaded, "Yasmin, you can't do this to your uncle...”
Yasmin quickly helped Magnolia up and led them to the reception room.
There, Magnolia wiped away tears as she spoke, "Yasmin, I beg youd ire) forgiveand forget. You're still part of the Starr family. If your uncle gets kicked out of Starr Corporation, it'll noctonger have anything ta.do with us.
"Moreover, your uncle is getting old. What could he possibly do if he leaves? Could you bear to see our family suffer?” "Yeah, Yasmin, and think about Grandma. She's in her 80s. If she finds out about this, it might kill her,” Brittany added. Yasmin replied with a faint smile, “Victor brought this upon himself.”
"How can you say that?" Brittany couldn't stand Yasmin speaking ill of her father. "Do you even respect my dad as your elder?"
"
