Ivor pressed his temples forcefully, his chest heaving with irritation. "Stop talking, and come here."
He felt genuinely embarrassed to have such a shameless subordinate.
"Boss! My savior is going to such a dangerous place. Can’t you stop focusing on trivial details and let me accompany him?" Yasmine argued, leaving Ivor momentarily speechless and unsure of how to respond to her audacity.
Bonnie found their interaction quite amusing. She subtly pulled her arm away from Yasmine and stepped to the side to distance them. "Ms. Yasmine, men and women should maintain a proper distance. You should listen to your boss and return to his side."
"But you’re my savior! Our relationship is purely that, without any gender implications," Yasmine said, trying to cling to Bonnie again.
However, Collin stepped in to block her before she could move. "Ms. Yasmine, since Mr. Boyd has already stated that men and women should keep a proper distance, please respect that."
Yasmine pouted as Collin blocked her view of Bonnie. "I don't care about such gender distinctions. Why should you?"
Collin's mouth twitched slightly. He then stepped back to Bonnie's side and said in a low voice audible only to them, "See? I told you Yasmine liked you, but you didn’t believe me. Just look at her. She’s practically glued to you with those infatuated eyes."
Bonnie furrowed her delicate eyebrows, her voice turning colder. "Just ignore it. She'll naturally give up if she doesn’t get a response over time."
She had sensed Yasmine’s budding affection before, but it hadn’t diminished after a period of not seeing her. It seemed to have grown stronger.
