"Sorry, I'm not her." Jasmine said blandly. Although it was the first time they met today, Jasmine didn't
hate the man in front of her. Instead, she felt inexplicably sorry for him.
She didn't want to be a substitute, nor did she want him to be immersed in such an illusion.
He let go of her.
Jasmine said, "Mr. Mark, maybe I look like Jessie very much, but I think you must know that I'm not her.
If you just want to use me to cherish the memory of that girl, no problem of course, but the reality can't
change. You should face the reality. It's impolite to hug a girl like this. I hope you won't do that again.
Well, I have to go back now. Please tell the bride for me and thank her for her invitation tonight."
After taking a deep look at him, Jasmine turned around and was about to leave. All of a sudden, Mark
called her from behind.
"What's wrong?" Jasmine turned around. Mark said, "Let me drive you home. It's getting late. You're a
girl and you're not familiar with this place. It's not safe."
Jasmine thought for a while and said, "No, thanks. I've been here for almost half a month. I can go
back by myself."
Her obvious refusal made Mark feel a little disappointed.
She was right. A good girl would not ask someone to send her home the first time they met.
In particular, she was such an insecure and defensive person.
"Okay, I'll ask the hotel to get a taxi for you." When Mark was about to take out his business card, he
thought of the man in black who had been driven away by her. He took it back. "Be careful on your way
home."
Jasmine nodded. She turned around and left.
"Mark, what are you looking at?" John walked towards Mark, looked in the direction of Jasmine and
said, "She is gone. She's still different from Jessie."
Mark looked at him. John scratched his head and said, "Although they look like each other very much,
look at this woman. Although she looks gentle like a cat, don't you see the way she talked to her
bodyguards? She was really a domineering lady. Think about it again. No matter whom Jessie treats,
she is always so gentle. She had never scolded others like this."
Mark disagreed in his heart. Jessie never scolded others? He just didn't see it.
But John was right. This Jasmine in front of him was really different from Jessie. She looked very
independent and wouldn't obey others.
"Well, don't think about her anymore. For so many years, I only believe that you can't go against fate. If
she really doesn't belong to you, there is nothing you can do. Let's go for a drink."
－
Jasmine dragged her tired body back to the hotel, but as soon as she entered the room, a person she
hated most appeared in front of her.
"Jasmine, you bitch! How dare you seduce another man behind master's back! If master knows it, do
you think if he will dump you or not?" Aria threatened her with a contemptuous look.
Jasmine sneered and threw her bag on the sofa with disdain.
"Go ahead if you want to. Don't threaten me here."
"Don't be too arrogant. Master was just fooled by someone for a while. No one in the world can tolerate
to be cheated. No matter how generous master is, he won't tolerate you hugging another man in public
like that."
"Well, I told you. If you can make him dump me, I will not only be happy, but also be grateful to you.
Just do it. You'd better go now. I'm tired. I need rest." Jasmine ordered.
"Jasmine!"
"Can't you understand me? You can go now."
Aria gritted her teeth and said insidiously, "Just wait and see." Then she disappeared with a bang.
Jasmine sighed and walked to the window. On the 35th floor, she looked at the night view of the whole
city. Looking at the brilliant lights in front of her, her heart sank.
-
The silence after the farce made people even more uncomfortable.
Sitting at the bar counter and drinking the spirits in the glass, Mark looked depressed in the dim light.
"Mark, she is married. It's not appropriate for you to investigate her like this." Jeffery felt that the
reaction of Mark was too intense. No matter how much Jasmine resembled Jessie, she couldn't be her.
Moreover, she had a fiancé.
On the contrary, John didn't think so. He argued, "Jeffery, you don't understand. Jasmine is not married
yet. Even if she is married, Mark shouldn't let go of the woman he likes."
"Oh, I see. You are such a person." Sharon sneered with contempt.
"What? Am I wrong? Although Jessie has been missing for three years, none of you can be sure that
she is dead! No one knows that, right? Besides, Jasmine is not married yet. She is still a free person.
Can't you let Mark pursue his own happiness?"
"Nonsense!"
"Sharon, dare you say it again!" John slapped the table angrily and stood up. With an indifferent face,
Sharon looked straight at him without fear.
"Are you angry? You are really narrow-minded." Sharon put down her wine glass and said, "Yes, no
one has the right to stop Mark from pursuing his own happiness. In your mind, of course, as long as
you like, you can pursue anyone without scruple. But what about later? Maybe love is dispensable to
you, and women are more like clothes to you. You can dump them as you like. But don't forget that
those who play with love will eventually be fooled by love one day."
"What did you say, Sharon? Wasn't Mark good enough to Jessie? Stop pointing at him and abusing
others here. Do you think I don't know you are talking about me?" John was pissed off. They could talk
about their relationship in private. Why did she have to get him involved in everything?
All of a sudden, Sharon felt ridiculous.
"John, I don't have to get you involved. Everyone in the world knows what you have done. I'm talking
about Mark. It has nothing to do with you! Do you think you are so charming that everyone wants to
have something to do with you?"
"You..."
"Mark, I know you love Jessie very much. We have seen that for the past three years. But I want to say
that if you really want to pursue Jasmine because they look like each other, you'd better not. Even if
you really were together with her and completed all the things you hadn't done with Jessie, she was not
Jessie anyway. You feel comfortable to have a woman who loves you as a substitute in your heart, but
do you care about her feelings?"
