Yasmine's eyes lit up instantly. She thought Ivor understood her. Otherwise, why would he give her such an excellent opportunity to meet her savior? However, before she could revel in her joy for more than two seconds, Ivor's following words were like a bucket of cold water.

Yasmine's happy expression froze on her face. She pouted, and her entire face fell. "Boss, you said you'd send me. How can you go back on your word?"

Yasmine stomped her foot in frustration, accidentally aggravating her injury and causing her to grimace in pain. "Ouch! It hurts, it hurts."
