Chapter 1280
"I... Um..."
Yasmine stammered for a long time, but she couldn't think of anything to say. Finally, after some silence, she said, "I'm expressing my concern in a platonic way. I didn't mean anything by it."
"You might not have meant anything, but what will the others think when they see the way you're behaving?" Ivor lectured her solemnly. "I'm going to remind you again, Yasmine. Boyd's a married man. You have to keep a distance from him if you want to keep your reputation intact."
"I'm just expressing some concern. How's that going to ruin my reputation?" Her brows furrowed. "You're making it sound more serious than it actually is."
"You don't get it yet, but you will in due time," Ivor said.
He looked at Yasmine and was about to say something, but Yasmine immediately covered her ears, as if she didn't want to listen to him anymore. "That's enough. I get it. You don't have to say it again. I'm going to keep a distance from Boyd!"
With that, she bolted out of the room in a huff. She ran to the door and almost crashed into Floyd, who was coming inside to discuss something with Ivor.
He ducked out of the way in time to avoid it happening.
He saw her grim expression and asked in a concerned tone, "What's the matter, Ms. Yasmine?"
"It's nothing." She didn't tell him anything. She didn't even stop as she left the room.
Floyd watched as she left and scratched the back of his head, feeling confused.
'What on earth is that? Is it because of something Ivor said to her? Is that why she looked the way she did?'
Floyd stepped into Ivor's office. "What's the matter with Yasmine, Mr. Ivor?"
"It's nothing. She's just throwing a temper tantrum." Ivor spoke dryly and looked perfectly calm. It was hard to decipher what he was thinking.
"You say that, but, the way I see it, it's not just a temper tantrum-" Before he could finish, Ivor threw a sharp look his way.
"Just tell me why you're here. I don't need to listen to this crap."
Floyd didn't dare to say anything anymore. Instead, he got straight to the point.
"It's about Pyralis, Mr. Ivor..."
The next day, Ivor was downstairs.
He had been waiting for Yasmine to come down for breakfast, but she still hadn't shown up. So, he couldn't help but frown.
'Yasmine has always eaten
breakfast with me every day, like et
clockwork. However, she still hasn't come down after a long time which isn't like her.
'Is it possible she's still throwing a tantrum over what I said yesterday? Given Yasmine's character, she shouldn't have stayed mad at me for this long, just because of something I said.
The longer he pondered on it, the more everything seemed off.

Floyd was sitting across the table and enjoying his breakfast. He raised his head immediately and looked at Ivor. "What's the matter, Mr. Ivor?"
