The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 189

Sebastian Simons turned his back to him. After a long time, he nodded his head, but he did not look back and went straight out of the room.

The moment Titus Simons saw his son nod, two drops of tears rolled down his cheeks. He smiled in relief at the same time.

It would not be the end of the world if he apologized to his son. Since he could not force his son to do the things that he wanted him to do, there was no point for him to continue arguing with him. All he needed was to take a step back and not be stubborn.

Sebastian officially moved back to the Mansion House and took over the Simons Corporation once again. He started becoming busy. It was very tiring to take charge of the two big enterprises. Furthermore, the Simons Corporation had been in debt for the past two years, and the company was even more unstable internally. He needed to spend a lot of time and energy to reorganize it. When the time was right, he could unify the two companies.

Fate had accidentally separated a couple once. As time passed, and when they thought there would be no more interaction between them, a silent encounter came unknowingly and unexpectedly...

"Madeline, come to my office."

Yasmine Taylor, who had been promoted to the general manager's special assistant, was called to the general manager's office more than ten times a day. The general manager was none other than Gabriel Smith, who had been admiring Yasmine for a long time.

"What's the matter, General Manager?"

She looked at the watch on her wrist. She had only left this room 15 minutes ago.

Last winter, Gabriel's father retired. He officially took over the company. On the same day, Yasmine also transferred from the marketing department to the general manager's office. A group of people envied her. Gabriel had taken her wherever he went. Almost everyone in the company had already regarded Yasmine as the future general manager's wife, thinking that they would be together sooner or later.

However, Yasmine didn't think so. She was very clear that it was impossible for her and Gabriel to be together. It was not because of Sebastian, but because she had already walked this path before. She didn't want to go on the wrong path again.

"Go home and pack up tonight. You'll go on a business trip with me tomorrow," he said.

"Another business trip? Where are we going?" Yasmine asked.

"B City."

Yasmine's heart skipped a beat and she suddenly couldn't say anything.

It seemed that she was reminiscing the long lost memories. The people and the experiences she had in the past, they all flashed like a movie in her mind. Two years had passed. When she heard the word "B City" without any warning, her chest felt so heavy that she could not breathe.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

Gabriel asked in surprise.

She came to her senses and shook her head in a hurry. "Nothing. Is it okay if I don't go with you this time?"

"Why? You are my special assistant, and you have to follow your boss wherever he goes. Don't you understand the rules of the workplace?"

"My aunt is not in good health recently, and my uncle is too busy working at the dock. I want to stay here so that I could go home and take care of her at night."

"Is that the only reason? In that case, I'll just hire the best caretaker in F City for your aunt. I promise she'll take good care of your aunt. What do you think?"

Yasmine's expression changed, "Thank you for your kindness, but my aunt is not used to being taken care of by others except me."

"In that case, we'll just take your aunt with us," he said.

"Director Smith, could you please stop joking? There are many high-level executives in the company, you could just take any one of them with you on the trip. Why must you make things difficult for me?"

Seeing that her eyes were a little red, Gabriel suddenly asked in a serious tone, "You refuse to go to B City so badly. Is there someone there whom you don't want to see?"

"No." She didn't even think before she shook her head in denial.

"That's fine then. Since you're not avoiding anyone there, why are you so reluctant to go to B City? I haven't seen you like this before on any business trips that we went for."

Seeing that Gabriel insisted on taking her with him, Yasmine really had no choice. She asked angrily, "Which company?"

"What company?"

"Which company are you working with this time?" she repeated.

"Yaslor Corporation."

Hearing that it was not the Simons Corporation, Yasmine was slightly relieved. She nodded, "Okay, but we have to come back as soon as possible. My aunt must have someone to take care of her."

"Got it."
