Chapter 184 Mr. Ethan Is Jealous... Again

"But..." Jasmine wanted to ask; after all, Ethan had never bothered to explain those rumors before.

"Are you referring to those rumors from before?" Ethan felt a bit guilty. "Fiona is an artist under my company's label. Nolan Cunningham personally intervened at that time because she needed a bit of publicity..."

Back then, Ethan couldn't have known that one day he would meet Jasmine. "I can explain this situation," he offered.

"I meant to clarify earlier, but I just didn't feel like talking about it at the time. Should I issue a statement tomorrow?" Ethan voiced his concern, fearing that Jasmine might be upset.

Jasmine was puzzled. "Why would you issue a statement?"

"I don't want you to get the wrong idea..." Ethan explained, drawing in a sharp breath.

This was how it felt to be guilty in front of someone he liked.

"No," Jasmine said, shaking her head. "We're working together, and my job is to keep those women away from you. I just need to know your true intentions, and if it's someone you care about, I'll respect the boundaries."

Jasmine was so business-like that it made Ethan's heart sink.

"You don't need to respect any boundaries." Ethan's voice was heavy with emotion.

"Mr. Ethan..." Jasmine, still not giving up, asked softly, "You don't have any other feelings toward Ms. Fiona, right?"

"Do I look like I'm interested in her?" Ethan snorted, becoming a bit upset.

Jasmine couldn't figure out what she had done to upset Ethan, so she just looked down and fidgeted with her fingers.

Even though Ethan claimed he wasn't bothered, she knew embarrassing him in front of Nolan Cunningham would upset him.

Haunted by a sense of inadequacy from her upbringing, Jasmine was hyper-sensitive to such situations.

Ethan parked the car next to the night market where Justin and Richard often ate, his luxury car standing out among a sea of shared electric scooters and tricycles.

Of course, Ethan's car wasn't the only luxury car there that was drawing attention.

"Uncle!" Justin got out of the car and was surprised to see Richard and Erin also eating at a street food stand.

Meanwhile, at the street food stand, Richard's face darkened as he looked at Erin. "Are you sure you can stomach this?"

Erin scoffed. "I was dumpster diving for food in Europe while you were still in the military."
