“I-I was just trying to be brave for once. How is that wrong?”
Floyd sighed helplessly. “It’s not wrong to love someone, Yasmine. Your problem is falling in love with someone you can’t have. Worse, Mr. Boyd is married. Mr. Vic said he’s also in love and knows what you’re experiencing. That’s why he won’t punish you this time.
“He wants you to reflect on your mistakes and work through your emotions. After all, your life isn’t just about Mr. Boyd. You have so much going for you and shouldn’t be so obsessed with him.”
Ivor told Floyd to say those things to Yasmine, but Floyd added some stuff. Moreover, Floyd had known Yasmine for a long time and did not want her to feel depressed.
Yasmine sniffled and fought to suppress her tears. “I-I understand.”
She finally realized Ivor and Bonnie were right all along. Even so, Yasmine could not stop falling in love with Boyd. At that moment, Yasmine thought it no longer mattered as she would never see Boyd again.
“Yasmine, I’ve told you everything our boss told me to say to you. Get some rest. I’ll take my leave now.” Floyd nodded and left.
Yasmine closed the door and went to sit in a corner. She held her knees and cried, muttering, “I rarely fall in love with someone. I’m a mess now that I did. Why did it have to be like this?”
Ivor could hear her crying as he stood in the hallway. He pursed his lips helplessly and said, “I promised Yasmine’s brother I’d care for her and never make her sad, but I have no other solution.”
Floyd reassured him, “You’ve done much for Yasmine, boss. Love is like an animal. It’s great if you can tame it, but you can only lick your wounds if you can't. You can’t do anything to spare her from heartache.”
