Yasmine took a deep breath again. Then, she mustered up her courage and opened the door.
"Hi, boss. F-Floyd told me you were looking for me."
She was so nervous that she couldn't help but stutter.
Ivor, who was going through some documents, raised his eyes and looked at her dryly.
"Are you scared now? Why weren't you scared when you gave Boyd the condom?"
Yasmine put on a look that said, "I knew it."
As expected, Ivor called her over because of what happened last night.
"Boyd is leaving soon. So, I just wanted to be brave for myself for once, boss. I was worried that you'd get mad if you found out. So, I didn't plan on letting you know. But you ended up finding out about it eventually…"
Yasmine's voice trailed off. Her head also hung lower by the second. Obviously, she didn't dare look Ivor in the eye.
'I know I'm in the wrong here, but I have to defend myself.'
"Heh…" Ivor's lips curled into a sneer.
Yasmine lowered her head even further when she heard him.
'Normally, Vic sneering is a sign that he’s getting mad. I can't look at him. I'm too scared to do it…"
Ivor saw through her. He composed himself and spoke calmly. "Judging by your tone, you're sorry that it didn't happen."
