Chapter 79

Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief as she finally finished her workday. Navigating the bustling streets, she walked towards the bus stop. She sighted a pharmacy just along the streets. her mind consumed by the events of that morning. The morning’s awkward incident haunted her thoughts, and she cringed at the memory of her attempt to apologize which had ended. up in a disaster.

“His impression of me must be even worse now, she thought, replaying the Incident in her mind.

As Jasmine stared at the pharmacy, her thoughts dwelled on the aftermath of the morning incident. Sympathy filled her as she imagined the extent of his injuries caused by the glass shards. The image of his wounded fingers was one she couldn’t get out of her mind Deciding to do something thoughtful, she entered the store. Emerging moments later, she made her way home.

Upon reaching her apartment, Jasmine’s first thought was to check the parking lot to Know if he was back already, but his car was nowhere in sight. He hadn’t returned home yet “Good” She thought to herself. I’ll wait for him here.

Settling down to wait, Jasmine occupied herself with her phone, determined to be there so as to know when he returned. The chill in the air began to seep through, but she resisted the temptation to go upstairs, fearing she might miss him. She didn’t have the confidence to walk up to his door and knock there. She wanted to meet him outside.

Time went by and she engrossed in her phone almost missed him when he drove by.

She spotted his car in the driveway, he had exited and was already standing in the clevator. She hurried towards the elevator, only to see its doors close before her. Undeterred, she quickly entered the next one, hoping to catch up with him.

Reaching the floor, she stepped out, glancing around to spot him. He was already walking towards his apartment, engrossed in a phone call. Determined not to let this chance sl*p away, Jasmine quickened her pace the medicine bag clutched in her grip.

“Wait, excuse me.” Jasmine called, running up to him.

“Hi,” she greeted nervously, offering a small smile. The man shifted backward, an uncomfortable look on his face as he hung up the call.

“What do you want?” He asked stiffly. The distance he created spoke volumes – he didn’t want her anywhere near him. Not that she could blame him; the last couple of times she approached him, it ended with him getting hurt badly.

Jasmine swallowed nervously, sensing the tension. “I just wanted to apologize for this morning. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble. I brought something for your injuries. I’m really sorry about what happened,” she explained, her voice genuine. She held out the small bag with the first aid kit.

He eyed the bag cautiously, skepticism etched across his face.
