Chapter 21

As I stood there, frozen in surprise, the stranger effortlessly scooped up my purse and handed it back to me. Our fingers touched, sending a spark of electricity through my body. "I'm so sorry about that," he said, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he flashed a charming smile. "I'm Ryan, by the way." My mind raced with questions: What did he want from me? How did he know my name? I couldn't deny his good looks, but they were different from Gabriel's captivating charm. I took a deep breath to compose myself and asked, "How can I help you, Ryan?" He had just exited our office building, so maybe someone had directed him to me, but how did he connect my name to my face? His gaze held mine, and I felt a shiver run down my spine.Ever since Gabriel's confession, I've been cautious around new people, wondering if they have hidden agendas. Once bitten, twice shy, as the saying goes. But Ryan's concerned expression and sincere smile put me at ease. "I've been experiencing some account di

Gabriel’s POVI leave Lily in the sitting room, my frustration with today's events still simmering as I head to my room. My mind, however, remains fixed on winning Jasmine's heart. My phone rings, snapping me out of my thoughts. I glance at the screen to see Shane's face on a video call. I grunt, curious about what he wants, especially since we just parted ways at the hotel. But I answer anyway. To my surprise, Nick and Alex appear alongside Shane, their mischievous grins making me smile. "What's up, guys?" I ask, sensing they're up to something. I cherish our bond - it's rare to find friends like us who have each other's backs for so long. We share an unspoken understanding: one person's problem is everyone's concern. I know they're worried about me, and that's why they're calling."Hey, man, we just wanted to check in and make sure you're doing okay," Shane says, his voice laced with concern."I'm good, guys," I reply, kicking off my shoe and relaxing into the conversation.Nick ch

As we made our way out, I noticed the three men Gabriel had walked in with earlier standing near the entrance, their eyes fixed on us. I glanced between Gabriel and his friends, sensing a deep bond between them. Gabriel's hand rested on the small of my back, a gentle gesture that felt protective. "Jasmine, I'd like you to meet Nick, Shane, and Alex," he said, his voice warm and inviting. I extended my hand, shaking theirs in turn, until I reached Alex. "I've seen you before," I said, recognition sparking in my mind. "You're the doctor who helped me when I fainted in Logan's office." Alex smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "That's right," he said. "I'm glad to see you're doing well." "You look stunning," Shane said, his voice low, making me blush. I smiled, feeling a flutter in my chest, but noticed Gabriel's hand on my back had tightened, his grip gentle but firm. "Thanks, guys," Gabriel said, shaking hands with his friends.

This date is sure to be the beginning of great things to come between me and Gabriel. I'm honest with myself: what I feel for Gabriel is deep, and I'm scared to admit it.

"Bad timing?" he asks, his voice coming through the phone. I shake my head, forgetting he can't see me. "Not really, what's up?" I reply, trying to hide my exhaustion."Jasmine, I'm so sorry for calling you at this time of day," Ryan apologizes, "but I need to inform you that the discrepancy is still happening, and I have no idea why it hasn't been fixed."My eyes grow heavier, but I force myself to focus. "Really? That's strange since I reported it to the higher authority." I try to sound alert, but my voice is laced with sleepiness. "Don't worry, I'll check on it for you as soon as it's Monday. There's nothing I can do now since it's the weekend."Ryan's voice is filled with gratitude. "Oh, that'll be great. I appreciate your effort, and thanks for the dance."I smile, despite my fatigue. "You're welcome, Ryan. Bye.""Bye, Jasmine," he replies, and we end the call. I let out a sigh, my eyes finally giving in to the weight of sleep.After my call with Ryan, I went to bed, my mind sti
