Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Boyce frowned slightly as the voice seemed familiar but at that moment he could not recognize it. The caller sensed that Boyce did not recognize her voice and said with disappointment, “I’m Jasmine.”

Boyce suddenly realized and said, “Oh, what’s the matter?”

“Are you free? Can you come this afternoon to see me?” She asked tenderly.

Boyce looked at the clock and replied, “Okay.”

“I’ll wait for you at the school’s entrance.” She said.

“Okay.”

Jasmine frowned as she felt that Boyce was very distant as his replies were singular.

“Then I’ll see you later.” Jasmine said.

“Okay.”

Jasmine grinned as she looked at her cellphone after the call ended. She had a cellphone. She did not give her number to Boyce when he asked for it previously because she still did not trust him. She did not fear hardships and could survive even when she did not have any family. Her cellphone was very cheap and basic but it was sufficient for her needs. Her academic results were good and this semester she was awarded some scholastic monetary grants. The monetary grants together with her salary as a part-time worker were enough for her expenses. She was certain that her living conditions would improve considerably after she graduates and worked for a couple of years.

Boyce drove his black SUV and stopped in front of the HQ University and saw Jasmine standing at the entrance of the University. She wore a white top with slim straight-cut jeans. The jeans enhanced her long legs and she wore a pair of white sneakers and had a black knapsack. She wore her hair in a ponytail and looked young and energetic. She ran over to Boyce as soon as she spotted him and said, “My apologies, I can’t invite you into the University as all my friends know that I do not have any relatives. It would invite rumors if I’m seen with you.”

“Get in,” Boyce said as he unlocked the doors.
