Chapter 119 Ethan Demanded Jasmine Write a Reflection

Daria's face turned ashen in an instant.

"Jasmine!"

Jasmine stepped back with her phone in hand while smiling at Daria. "Ms. Daria, it's a real pleasure to become colleagues."

Daria's hands were trembling.

I made it clear in the training to forbid any peanuts, but somehow they got the impression Mr. Douglas loves peanuts, leading to this error." Daria hurriedly spoke, planning to pin the blunder on a scapegoat and

Howard looked at Jasmine meaningfully, with an audible snort. "Ethan is still in the hospital, and we need to get to the bottom of this."
