Chapter 69

Axel, in the midst of his morning routine, had just taken a refreshing sip of water when the doorbell echoed through his apartment. Holding the glass in hand, he made his way to the door, curious about the unexpected interruption.

Upon swinging the door open, he found his neighbor standing there. Her presence at his doorstep was an unexpected surprise that drew a sigh from him. The early morning visit left Axel wondering about the purpose of her visit. She was clutching something in her arms.

Feeling troubled by the events of the previous day. Jasmine was determined to clarify her actions and make amends. Understanding the gravity of her first impression, which was far from ideal, and the fact that she had inadvertently damaged his phone, she resolved to meet with Axel that morning before work.

Carrying a plate of cookies. Jasmine approached his door with a mixture of nervousness and determination. She had read online that offering cookies was a traditional way to welcome new neighbors, as she stood there her thoughts swirled with the desire to explain herself and make amends for the less–than–ideal first impression she had left.

“Hi. I just came to apologize. Jasmine uttered nervously, feeling the weight of his piercing gaze upon her. His face held a captivating beauty that heightened her anxiety, especially under the intensity of his penetrating eyes

Balancing a large plate of store–bought cookies in her arms, she had piled it generously, a humble offering to accompany her apology. Axel, with a questioning expression, continued. to observe her. Gathering courage, she then asked. “May I come in?” her tone laced with hopefulness.

He gracefully stepped aside, allowing her entry into his home. Her eyes wandered around the living room, and despite having been there a few days earlier, the sheer luxury of the place struck her anew.

Axel proceeded to the kitchen, and she followed him, still tightly holding the plate of cookies. The air in the kitchen felt different, a mix of tension and curiosity lingering between them.

Taking a deep breath she started. Im sorry about your broken phone, for attacking you as well. I didn’t get a chance to apologize…… Jasmine began, her voice filled with sincerity, but just as she spoke, Axel’s dog’s toy, a small mouse–shaped plaything, darted past her.

“What?! Mice!” Jasmine shrieked, leaping in surprise and accidentally sending the plate of cookies flying through the air.

Axel swiftly balanced the glass in his hand at the edge of the kitchen counter, spilling some water on the floor. He struggled to grab the plate, succeeding at the last minute by snatching it out of the air. In the midst of this chaotic maneuver, Jasmine, unfortunately, sl*pped on the pool of water, careening into Axel.
