Wed to the Billionaire Brother of My Spouse by Doris

Chapter 122 Harper Unsettles Serena

At Stellar Enterprises.

Jasmine sat idly with her plate, picking at her fruit with little appetite.

"Eat up, you're too thin to handle the stress. Working for Mr. Douglas means you have to be ready for a rough ride," Liam whispered with a hint of sarcasm toward the boss.

Jasmine uttered a nonchalant "Oh" and nibbled on some more fruit.

She seemed to like only the cherries, strawberries, and peaches on her plate.

Henry's dish contained only plain boiled chicken breast, devoid of any fat.

With a hint of flirtation, he used his fork to snag some fruit from Jasmine's plate-a deliberate provocation aimed at Ethan.

Everyone knew Ethan was a germophobe, and this was Henry's way of challenging him -a challenge Ethan could never confront head-on.

"Word is Mr. Douglas is a germophobe. He hasn't touched a woman other than Harper in years, huh?" Henry pressed on as he saw Ethan's countenance darken.

"You shouldn't speak while eating. It seems Mr. Patrick Sr.'s teachings were somewhat lax," Ethan frowned.

Jasmine's grip on her fork tightened momentarily at Ethan's lack of rebuttal about him and Harper-it seemed the rumors were true.

"Harper's a charming soul, docile and understated," Henry prodded nonchalantly.

"That's a pity then. Mr. Patrick is engaged to her sister. If it's such a loss, perhaps a proposition to the Browns might be in order," Ethan replied, setting his cup down and wiping his hands. "Enjoy your meal."

With that, he stood up and left.

"I—I've finished too. I should get back to work," Jasmine said, dropping her silverware and standing up abruptly.

Henry scowled. "You're not on the clock yet, are you?"

"I'm doing overtime," Jasmine retorted, eager to leave.

"How long are you planning to keep this up with me Jasmine?" Henry's grip tightened on her wrist.

Jasmine tried to pull her wrist away, her voice tinged with nervousness. "I'm... I'm not arguing with you."

Across the table, Liam choked on his food, and bolted from his chair hastily with an alert look in his eyes.

"Jasmine, the Browns visited Howard today. It's only a matter of time before Ethan marries Harper. If you stay at Stellar Enterprises, the Browns won't let you off the hook so easily," Henry said, genuine concern lacing his tone.

"This has nothing to do with Mr. Patrick," Jasmine snapped, shaking off Henry's grasp, feeling a surge of irritation she couldn't quite understand.

She thought she had long since lost her temper, but that wasn't the case.
