Chapter 70: Wolf under a warm smile
In the distance, Jazmine Harrison spotted David Anderson. He turned once he saw Jazmine. Jazmine paused for a second before walking directly towards him without any reluctance.
If it had been the Jazmine of the past, she would have been flustered and tried to avoid him. But this Jazmine wasn't the one before him.
And for some strange reason, as time passed, David Anderson was losing his effect on her.
"Mr. Anderson, I've been expecting you." She had a calm smile and wore very formal expressions, like she was not addressing her husband but merely an acquaintance.
"We are in a gathering. It would be best if you addressed me less formally." David's eyes were calm.
Jazmine's smile didn't falter. "There's no one around us. But if it makes you feel uncomfortable, I'll call you by your full name next time." Jazmine excused herself, but David stopped her.
"I know what you're planning."
Jazmine blinked at him in confusion. David leaned towards her, but Jazmine stood her ground, unwilling to back off. In a very light tone, David said:
"I've made a reservation at the Anderson Islands. I'll be expecting you to arrive next Monday at the Mealor mansion." With that, he walked away.
He thinks he can order me around? Jazmine went to find herself a seat.
The runway started soon, and models began appearing along the catwalk. People held their phones, and reporters raised their cameras and equipment. Cheers and claps resounded in the hall when Caroline Anderson's face surfaced from the corner. All the reporters tensed up and inched their cameras closer. People held their breath. Among all the noise and clamour, Jazmine was calm. Her eyes assessed everything.
