The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 183

Yasmine Taylor had never expected for her casual words to be taken so seriously. Although she was put in a difficult position, it would be rude for her to take back what she had said.

What was more, Gabriel Smith was her superior, so it would not be wise to offend him. She struggled for a while before nodding with a smile. "Well, okay..."

The other interviewers looked at each other. After nodding to Gabriel, they left the meeting room one after another.

"There are still two hours left till lunch. Sit here and wait for me."

After saying that, Gabriel walked out without even asking Yasmine if she was willing to wait for him.

Yasmine rubbed her hair confusedly. She thought that everything went smoothly after she arrived in F City. However, she didn't expect that she would be hit by pennies from the sky on the first day of her interview. She herself couldn't tell whether it was good luck or bad luck.

Two hours was a long time. She took a book out from her bag to read, but with something in her mind, she couldn't seem to focus. Why did she have to be so talkative? Was she out of her mind in the morning? Why did she take the initiative to chat with strangers? If she didn't do that, she wouldn't have to sit here and wait like a fool just so that she could fulfill her promise.

At eleven o'clock, Gabriel came to the meeting room and opened the door, "Let's go."

Yasmine hurriedly kept the book on the table into her bag and followed after him. After entering the elevator, she dared not speak again. Gabriel asked, "What are we going to eat?"

"Anything is fine with me."

She answered in a hurry.

Gabriel smiled grumpily. "You're the one who's going to treat me to a meal. Why are you acting as if it's the other way around?"

Yasmine was startled and she immediately explained awkwardly, "I didn't mean that. I have just arrived in the city not long ago, so I'm not very familiar with this place. You can go wherever you want to eat. I'll just pay the bill."

"Okay, fine."

Gabriel nodded meaningfully. As they went out of the company's entrance, Yasmine deliberately kept a distance from him. Gabriel had already walked to his car, but Yasmine was still lingering at the entrance. He waited for a while for her to come over and asked jokingly, "You don't want to treat me for a meal, do you?"

"I do," she said.

"Then why are you so unenthusiastic?"

Yasmine smiled stiffly, "I'm usually like this."

"Get in the car."

Gabriel opened the car door and Yasmine got in. He drove to a Japanese restaurant and asked, "Do you eat Japanese cuisine?"

"It's my treat. So long as you like it."

Yasmine acted generously and made a gesture of invitation.

The two walked in side by side and came to an elegant private room. Yasmine said to Gabriel, "You should order."

Gabriel didn't hold himself back and ordered a few popular dishes effortlessly. Yasmine looked at him and thought, "He was acting so coolly in the elevator, how could he just have lunch with a random employee like me? Did he fall in love with me at first sight..."

"Did you say that you've just arrived in this city? Aren't you from this City?"

Gabriel raised his head and asked her.

"Yes, I'm not," she replied.

"Where are you from?"

Yasmine didn't want to tell him the truth, so she simply said, "A city."

"Then why did you come to this city to find a job?" he continued asking.

"My parents passed away. I came here to seek shelter from my uncle."

Gabriel was stunned as he didn't expect that she was an orphan. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mention your painful past."

"It's okay." The waiter brought the dishes in. Yasmine looked at him while eating. Finally, she couldn't help but ask carefully, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"How did I get hired?"

Gabriel put down the fork in his hand and answered playfully, "Because of your name."

"My name?" Yasmine was confused. "What's wrong with my name?"

"Isn't there the letter "a" in your name? My name is Gabriel, and your name is Madeline. That's the reason you've been hired," he explained.

"Just because we have a common character in our names?" Yasmine asked in disbelief.
