Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Don’t want to be involved with me?
Sylvan Cheney adored her naive look, he couldn’t help but give her two more kisses.
“Jasy, I’ve bought Respected Majesty when I returned to Landon and it’s already transferred under your name. It’s a meeting gift, you’re welcome.”
The warmth of his breath filled her ears.
Jasmine Yale’s whole body felt as though it had been struck by an electric current; her face was fully painted with bewilderment.
Respected Majesty was his gift for her?
Jasmine Yale reflected on the details…
Her boss, Sister Penny, had always been very polite to her and any colleagues who upset her had been immediately fired.
Her job was leisurely, and she felt free to rotate positions.
All the good opportunities were left to her; she was never asked to do the exhausting work.
She had thought that she had switched to a considerate and perfect boss, she had always been thankful to Sister Penny.
However, she hadn’t expected…
For moments, Jasmine Yale was struck dumb, she was staring him in the eye, unable to say anything.
The air abruptly grew silent, and the surroundings fell into a quiet lull.
After a while, Jasmine Yale spoke up,
“I’ve always wanted to live on my own, I didn’t realise I was still depending on you. Perhaps with my qualifications, I indeed cannot find a decent job, but I don’t really want to live off you .”
What’s the difference between this and a canary?
That’s right, a canary is just … being caged by its owner, not worrying about food or clothing, but it simply can’t leave the cage.
Gradually, they won’t be able to fly anymore.
Even if the cage gets opened one day, it wouldn’t know where to go, how to fly.
Speaking to this point, a touch of sadness seeped into Jasmine Yale’s tone.
Sylvan Cheney initially thought that she would be happy, unexpectedly, she’s so stubborn.
“It’s just a meeting gift, don’t overthink it.” he frowned.
“But I still ended up dependent on you. How could I, an intern, easily remain in a big company like Respected Majesty and have so many rare interview opportunities? Even salary increases and promotions — my superior is always so careful and polite to me. See, in the end, I’m still relaying on you.”
In fact, she didn’t want to owe Sylvan Cheney.
Since her teenage years, she hardly ever used the pocket money Sylvan Cheney gave her.
She secretly did part-time jobs or helped classmates with homework to earn pocket money.
After entering college, she continued doing this and took on several part-time jobs simultaneously.
Sylvan Cheney would have money transferred to her bank account, but she never used it.
Her expenses were not big, although she has lived in Cheney Residence for 12 years, she did not develop a wasteful lifestyle.
Even her dressing style was very low-key.
Her appearance next to Sylvan Cheney was a stark contrast.
One of his ties could probably cover her expenses for two or three years.
And he never liked the gifts she bought for him.
“What do you mean by depending on me? Jasmine Yale, are you that unwilling to have any connection with me?” the anger in Sylvan Cheney’s eyes intensified.
He was genuinely upset.
Jasmine Yale writhed uncomfortably under him and nodded, “Yes.”
A simple “Yes” completely enraged Sylvan Cheney.
His eyes were burning like fire, his pupils cold and gloomy, a ferocious freeze, void of life!
His large hands were gripping her wrists, exerting force.
She didn’t care for his things before and she still didn’t want them now.
The degree of rejection from a woman was making him feel the cold, his eyes seeping with iciness.
Jasmine Yale wanted to set clear boundaries with him, which clearly showed… she didn’t love him.
Otherwise, no lover would have such a clear division with their partner.
