Chapter 133 The Pretense of Matrimony Between Ethan and Jasmine

Why should she ruin things for her boss?

With her eyes burning, Jasmine numbly walked to her room.

What was she upset about? What was the real reason she was upset?

Six years ago, Serena brought Daniel to the hotel to catch a cheater; Jasmine didn't seem this upset even when Daniel didn't trust her.

Insecurity, helplessness, and fear all flooded over her in an instant.

As soon as Harper revealed her feelings, hinting at her affection for Ethan, she felt a wave of panic wash over her.

She was terrified of someone uncovering her true feelings- especially Ethan.

She couldn't let Ethan find out...

The very thought that she fancied Ethan felt like a taint on him.

"Jasmine, don't make a fool of yourself again..."

A fool, that's what she was.

Simply because Ethan was different, she convinced herself she was in love.

Jasmine found herself repulsive and was disgusted with herself.

Perhaps, she should take a good look in the mirror, just to see if she was worthy at all.

Entering her room, Jasmine tried to keep herself composed, but it felt like she was sick again.

Her limbs stiffened, and her breathing became labored.

She hid in the bathroom, showering constantly under the showerhead, feeling too filthy for anyone.

Anxiously biting her lip, unaware she had drawn blood.

How could she have feelings for Ethan? She shouldn't...

"Knock knock knock."

Impatient knocks at the door echoed.

Jasmine thought she was hallucinating; she turned off the shower and wrapped herself

in a towel, stiffly making her way to the door.

"Open up..."

Outside, was Ethan's voice, laced with irritation and anger.

In a panic, Jasmine opened the door, forgetting she was drenched.

As the door cracked open, Ethan stumbled in, crashing into Jasmine.

Supporting Ethan in alarm, Jasmine smelled the strong scent of blood on him.
