Chapter 163 Ethan was Jasmine's Salvation

"Your skin is amazing; how do you maintain it?" Branson became bolder, reaching out to play with Jasmine's hair.

Jasmine's body tensed, her heart racing as that suffocating feeling surged once more. Nausea washed over her in waves.

But she... must endure.

She had to take down Branson for Ethan, which meant she had to... let him get carried away.

"Make-up... that's also pretty expensive," Jasmine spoke with a trembling voice, trying to calm herself down.

Branson smiled and moved closer to Jasmine, thinking she was hinting at something. "Jasmine, I hear many socialites in San Francisco know you; seems like you're quite capable."

Branson made a suggestive remark. "How about we have dinner together on your day off?"

Jasmine nodded. "Sure..."

"Knock, knock, knock!" Someone knocked at the door.

Branson appeared irritated, evidently displeased by the interruption of his enjoyable moment.

Jasmine was pretty and had a great figure with particularly fair skin. Branson, a man who'd been with countless women, could tell right away that Jasmine was a catch.

If Ethan's assistant was so eager to please him, it surely meant Ethan was very keen on winning him over.

"Mr. Branson, Mr. Ethan sent me to ask what your terms are for the vice president position. Feel free to express your wishes; he will try to accommodate you, hoping you..." Jasmine took the opportunity to distance herself from Branson, speaking with deep intent.

Branson nodded with a smile, clearly understanding Jasmine's implication.

Ethan was showing one hundred percent sincerity.

Branson replied, "Ah, I've been with the company for such a long time. I'm not greedy, just deeply connected to my colleagues from the investment department. We've been together for over a decade. If Mr. Ethan could merge the investment and project departments, I could manage both..."

Jasmine feigned surprise at Branson's statement. "Mr. Branson! The investment department has always been independent. You want to merge it with the project department?"

Branson, the cunning old fox, was displaying his greediness quite evidently. Yet, all of this fell perfectly within Jasmine's calculations. As he ventured into making bold demands, carried away by his own desires, it signaled that his downfall was imminent. "It's going to be difficult?" Branson looked at Jasmine tentatively.
