The sound inside is very noisy, with the music rising and falling, like... a bar?

Does Kade Yuvan also go to bars?

"I’m at Tell Bar, could you come over?"

"Have you been drinking?" Jasmine Yale asked.

"No, it’s... well, it’s just about the same." Kade was so anxious he couldn’t speak properly, "The CEO and I came to drink, the CEO got drunk, I’m okay, not drunk."

"He’s drunk, why don’t you take him to his apartment? Why are you calling me?" Jasmine felt baffled.

"The CEO won’t leave, I’ve been trying to drag him for a while now, but he won’t go. He keeps calling your name, I—I have no solution."

"Kade, I still remember when you said you were hungry and lied to me last time."

"..." Kade sweated, "This time, I’m really not lying to you, and last time, it wasn’t exactly lying, y’know."

"Kade..."

"Jasmine, could you help me out this once? Come and calm the CEO down, I’m really at my wit’s end." Kade said helplessly, "He’s terribly drunk, if he keeps causing trouble at the bar, we might end up smashing the place."

"Did he smash up the bar?"

"Isn’t that right, a whole rack of red wine was smashed, how—how much would that cost? Breaking bottles is one thing, but hurting people would be troublesome."

Jasmine Yale’s eyes were deep with a gleam, she bit her lip: "Smashing bottles means paying money, hurting people gets you jail."

"No... no, Jasmine, the CEO keeps calling your name, please just come over, I’m really stuck."

"Kade, you know I’m pregnant, have you thought about that when asking me to come over?"

"But I can’t hold him back at all, otherwise I wouldn’t be calling you." Kade’s voice carried a hint of tears, really feeling utterly helpless this time.

"Call Erin Janus, she has bodyguards; let her bring someone to drag the CEO away."

"But if we do that, the CEO will owe CEO Janus a favor."

"He’d be willing to repay it anyway, why are you worried?"

"Jasmine, you should know, it’s easy to repay money, but not favors. Owing a favor makes things complicated. What if one day the CEO has a moment of desperation and offers himself up, then things would be even worse."

"Your CEO isn’t as noble as you think."

Kade felt a jolt in his heart.

Not noble?

"Jasmine, maybe you have some misunderstandings about the CEO. The CEO is actually very restrained and principled. If he really wanted to something with CEO Janus, it would have happened long ago. Even when CEO Janus stripped on top of him, he could still push her away. Cough cough..." Kade blushed, letting out a light cough.

He’s never had a girlfriend, recalling that night, he found it rather risqué.

"You guys seem to have quite a few little secrets?" Jasmine Yale eagerly caught onto something, cautiously furrowing her brows.

She knew Sylvan Cheney and Kade Yuvan often went out drinking due to business socializing.

Probably because he had quit drinking before, Sylvan Cheney’s tolerance was no longer as strong as before, getting drunk easily.

Once drunk, you can’t predict what will happen.

"This..." Kade hesitated briefly, then decided to risk it, "Jasmine, if you just come over, I’ll tell you all our men’s little secrets firsthand."

"Not interested." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Kade was truly about to collapse.

"Jasmine, have a heart, come persuade the CEO, Jasmine..."

Jasmine Yale bit her lip, remaining silent for a good while.

The evening wind blew against her, and her lips were somewhat pale.

The noise was still loud over there, the music drowning out the sounds of smashing.
