Ivor sighed and extended his hand toward “Bonnie,” saying, “Give me the condom. I’ll get rid of it.”
“All right.” Bonnie did not argue and did as “Ivor” said. She was just wondering where to throw the condom and was glad Ivor offered to get rid of it.
Ivor tucked it into his pocket and said, “I apologize for Yasmine’s actions. I did a terrible job controlling her, and you paid for it instead. Don’t worry. I’ll handle her now.”
Bonnie yawned and responded, “Sure, I shouldn’t stick my nose in your organization’s affairs. Do what you think is best. I’m tired, so I’m going to rest now. You should return to your hotel to get some sleep, too.”
“Of course.” Ivor nodded, turned, and left.
…
Later that night, Yasmine wore a skimpy nightgown and waited in her room. However, Bonnie had yet to show up, even as dawn approached. Yasmine knew the chances of “Bonnie” coming were slim to none, but the former stayed up and waited.
Yasmine felt hurt. She sighed and muttered, “I’ll never see Boyd again. I can only bid him farewell before he leaves. That’ll be the last time I see him.”
Suddenly, she heard someone knocking on the door.
Knock, knock, knock!
“Is that him?” Yasmine lit up. She was so excited that she did not even check the peephole before opening the door. To her surprise, she saw Floyd standing at the entrance instead.
“Ahh!” Yasmine yelped and quickly shut the door. Then, she found a coat and wore it.
Meanwhile, Floyd blushed. He never expected to see Yasmine wearing such a skimpy outfit. He stood there and waited for a while before Yasmine finally opened the door again. This time, she looked much calmer than him.
“Do you know what time it is, Floyd? Can I help you with something?”
Floyd reached into his pocket and grabbed what Ivor had given him earlier. The former cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Vic told me to give this to you.”
Yasmine saw the condom and snatched it from Floyd. “Didn’t I give this to Mr. Boyd? Why did the boss have it instead?”
She knew Ivor would find out about it sooner or later, but not that soon.
Floyd relayed Ivor’s message, “I don’t know, Yasmine. Still, the boss says he wants you to stop chasing Mr. Boyd. You’ll only hurt yourself.”
Yasmine became teary-eyed, looking devastated.
