Boyd glanced at Serana, looked away, and followed Yasmine.

“What are you following me for?” Yasmine threw a fleeting glance at him, her

emotions barely flickering.

“Can’t we spend a little more time together since we rarely see each other?”

Yasmine let out a chuckle. “I’m in the middle of something pretty important, and

frankly, I don’t think you’re the kind of company I’m looking to keep right now.”

“So I didn’t ask your permission.”

Yasmine came to a halt. “You’ve become quite bold in the two months we

haven’t seen each other.”d2

Enter title…

“What can I say? You’re a tough nut to crack, and it doesn’t leave me with many

options.”

Yasmine took a deep breath. “Look, Boyd, we used to be pretty tight, and I get

that a rare meeting warrants more time together, but I’m really tied up with

something crucial right now – and it’s a private matter.”

Her words couldn’t be more tactful.

“So, you and Ava have private matters that outsiders shouldn’t know about?”

The undertone of his question was clear: Are you and Ava hiding something

from everyone else?

As if she wasn’t entitled to her own secrets.

“Do you have a problem with that?”

Boyd watched her for a moment before speaking slowly, “I just think it’s a shame

that our relationship has become so strained over someone else.”

Yasmine raised an eyebrow and glanced at Serana, who was still standing

there, and snorted. “You’re actually asking me to let go of my grudge against

Serana, aren’t you?”

Boyd frowned. “Why do you have to bring her into this?”

“It’s my business to dislike her, and what happens between us is our business.

You’re the one dragging her into it, not me. On one hand, she’s a thorn in my

side, and on the other, you expect me to be kind to her no matter what.”

“Boyd, I’m just here to take care of some affairs, not to stir any trouble or

threaten Serana. So quit trying to sell me on her like a door-to-door salesman.

So what you’re saying is, whether our friendship survives hinges on whether I
