Chapter 2. Disappointed
“What about the French restaurant at the end of town? Do you want to go there? The food there is delicious! I guarantee you you will love it, Jasmin. Would love. Moreover, prices never lie," said a young man to Jasmin.
Jasmin, who heard this, was immediately interested. French food? She hasn't eaten it in a long time. Yes, of course, because the price is quite fantastic for Christopher. A lowly official. Of course, it is challenging to eat luxurious food.
"Of course I want to," answered Jasmin quickly.
Indeed, this is the purpose of leaving Christopher! How could Jasmin possibly refuse? This is indeed the goal! Side by side with a man who is much richer than Christopher. Ah! Maybe Christopher is no match for the young man he is currently dating.
How come? Christopher is just a lowly employee, if you forgot! While the man with her currently is the director's son. Jasmin's goal in approaching him was to get a manager's position in the company that the man led.
Jasmin don't know what the decision she made was. Jasmin didn't think about that. The most important thing now is to organize her life. Who wants to live in hardship like this all the time? If she was still with Christopher, who knows what her fate would be? It seems that there are no happy words in Jasmin's life.
Love? Come on! What can you eat with love? Aren't most women realistic? What can be eaten if only presented with love and romance? This world needs money and position. All people need it, not just Jasmin.
What her mother said was true. What use would her beauty be if she was only with Christopher? What is there? She will not have a good life like now. Even when Jasmin doesn't get married, almost everything is done. What will happen if Jasmin marries this young man?
“So what, Jasmin? Do you want to?" asked the young man again when he heard no answer from Jasmin.
"Of course! I want to go there," answered Jasmin quickly.
"Okay, after the meeting, I will pick you up again. If you're bored, you can go around first. And you have to make sure that you don't get too tired. Understand?" said Ryan, the young man thoughtfully.
It looks like Jasmin was lucky to meet the man she is today, right? Already attentive, kind, and established! Why did fate bring her together with this successful young man? If only she had found the young man being compared to Christopher first. Jasmin definitely won't choose Christopher. Or, more precisely, if only she had obeyed what her mother said to look higher than Christopher. Her life will always be happy and luxurious!
"Yes. I'll be waiting for you," Jasmin replied.
After that, the rich young man immediately left Jasmin to work. It doesn't take long. After the meeting, the young and wealthy businessman did what he said earlier—namely, meeting Jasmin for lunch together.
It didn't take long to get to where they wanted to go. Very comfortable and beautiful place! Jasmin is, of course, delighted right now. She took a seat in the far corner so she could enjoy the beauty of the city.
This restaurant is covered with glass. So anyone can see people's activities from the outside, anything from the inside. Coincidentally, Jasmin chose the one directly facing the main road. Jasmin waited for her meal while opening her cell phone.
Jasmin was silent when she saw the date displayed on her cell phone. Ah! Today is Christopher's birthday. Yes, their birthday is indeed a little different from their wedding day. It seems like giving her ex-husband a little surprise isn't what's needed, right?
Maybe some little gifts from Jasmin? Jasmin smiled knowingly. She just sent the address to Christopher's number.
“Honey, is your cell phone more tempting than me in front of you? It seems like you like your cell phone better than me?” Ryan asked Jasmin.
Jasmin immediately put down her cell phone with the best smile. "How could this cell phone be better than yours?" Jasmin asked.
"Let us eat! Aren't you also starving, right?" Jasmin asked again.
"Of course. Today is quite busy,” Ryan replied.
Jasmin immediately had lunch together. Occasionally, there is a will ejected from both of them. Make this afternoon's food sauna more colorful and fun!
After twenty minutes, from a distance, a man was riding his electric bicycle in a hurry. The man had just seen the message sent by his wife. Ah! His ex-wife?
He quickly rushed to point to the location where Jasmin had sent him. Christopher thought of his bike in any direction.
Without even going in, Christopher could already see Jasmin's intimacy with another man. Certainly a well-dressed man compared to her. Christopher has indeed been looking for Jasmin for several days. But the woman was indeed a pain to be found. In the end, Jasmin herself sent a message to Christopher. Send a statement where it is.
Christopher's heart hurts, of course, to see Jasmin with a strange man. Moreover, they look very close. Jasmin notices Christopher's arrival. The woman looked at Christopher with a mocking smile. There is a feeling of not being able to bear deep down in her heart. But she had to do all of this. Jasmin doesn't want to have a hard life with Christopher!
While Christopher returned Jasmin's gaze with full of hurt and disappointment, Christopher did not expect all this to happen. Maybe for Christopher, a problem like this is a trivial thing. In fact?
Ryan also noticed where Jasmin's gaze was going. Immediately, the man followed the direction of Jasmin's eyes and found Christopher standing with a hurt look. Presently, Ryan smiled mockingly at Christopher.
Without further ado, the Ryan immediately embraced Jasmin and kissed Jasmin's cheek. Christopher's anger was getting to the top of his head. He immediately walked to find a way into the restaurant. However, it was a shame, because of his current appearance, Cristopher was prohibited from entering by the guards. This made the young man smile even more with satisfaction.
"How about a kiss, honey?" Ryan asked Jasmin while pointing at her left cheek.
Jasmin, who understood what Ryan meant, immediately kissed the man's cheek. This also did not escape Christopher's eyes, which made the man not rebel. Looks like Jasmin did the wrong thing! Christopher hates Jasmin! Why did the woman Christopher loved so much have the heart to do all this to him?
