Wed to the Billionaire Brother of My Spouse by Doris

Chapter 54

Chapter 54 My Child

Jasmine's fingers clenched in fear as she shot Ms. Blanche a pleading look.

"Mr. Patrick," Ms. Blanche rushed over, "she's the new hire, who just finished training. She's our new receptionist. Is there an issue?"

"Lift your head!" Henry's voice was icy, betraying thin patience.

With trembling fingers, Jasmine slowly raised her head.

Henry paused, then let out a chuckle. "Never mind, I mistook you for someone else."

Ms. Blanche heaved a sigh of relief and signaled for Jasmine to leave quickly.

Henry said no more and walked away.

Jasmine breathed easier; it had been five years-Henry had certainly forgotten her by

now.

Once Henry was out of sight, Chloe approached shakily. "That man's aura is just... terrifying."

Jasmine's legs were numb with fear.

Chloe propped her up, chuckling. "Scared, huh? I thought Mr. Patrick had taken a shine to you. That would've been horrifying."

With an awkward smile, Jasmine tried to shrug off the terror.

"Did you hear what Mr. Patrick's assistant mentioned?" Chloe guided Jasmine back to

the reception desk. "The annual commerce banquet is being held at our club this year. We're the biggest club in Boston, you know. They even check diplomas for receptionists! You're lucky-it's a prime hiring season that got you in."

Jasmine nodded. "I heard."

"Do you know who attends these banquets? Have you heard of the Douglas family from San Francisco? They're even a notch above Mr. Patrick." In the world of business, there was always someone higher, with no end in sight.

Jasmine's fingers stiffened, her heart suddenly racing. The commerce banquet would surely bring Daniel and Evan, and that thought alone sent her into a spiral of anxiety.

"Can I... can I take the day off?" Jasmine whispered.

"No, Ms. Blanche said everything's geared towards that day, no one is allowed to take time off," Chloe shook her head.

Jasmine's fingers tightened nervously, her mind racing with what to do next. Staying here put her at risk of being caught and dragged back. And being dragged back meant a sure dead end.

"Jasmine, Room 3688 upstairs needs a fruit platter. The service staff is swamped, and we could use an extra hand," Ms. Blanche walked over and beckoned to Jasmine.
