Chapter 1181: Chapter 1181: He Held Her in His Arms

Cheney Residence, Jasmine Yale listlessly refreshed the news on her phone.

The feeling of being locked in the bedroom was unpleasant, but reason told her she couldn’t go out.

In the yard, the Range Rover was still parked outside, the Harry Family hadn’t left yet.

Jasmine refreshed the news and came across the company press conference of Zachary Santos.

Since Ann Nolan had started working at Golden Growth, she had paid some attention to it.

A press conference?

Jasmine immediately noticed Zachary Santos in the very center, with Ann Nolan sitting beside him as his secretary.

She hadn’t felt much looking at photos before, but seeing him in person, she realized that Zachary Santos was quite handsome, bearing a resemblance to Zaiden Santos.

But the aura was different.

Ann Nolan was dressed appropriately, with a dignified expression.

Jasmine rested her head on her hand, it was the first time she had seen Ann Nolan so serious and focused.

She truly admired and envied Ann.

As she watched, she felt that Ann Nolan and Zachary Santos were more suitable for each other.

Even a glance exchanged between them seemed to be filled with tacit understanding.

Once this thought emerged, she couldn’t suppress it.

Usually uninterested in finance, Jasmine watched the entire video.

She messaged Ann Nolan, "Ann, I saw the live broadcast of the Golden Growth press conference today, you looked beautiful."

Ann Nolan couldn’t reply to her immediately, so she turned off the news and played games.

When Sylvan Cheney entered the room, she was lying there lazily, listless and lacking energy.

She lay on the bed, propped up by pillows, holding her phone, her eyes filled with fatigue and confusion.

Her suitcase was set by the door, and the bedroom was very quiet.

The mist had cleared, and the sun had come out, casting bright light through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the floor.

The room was filled with light, the sunlight dazzling.

Compared to the vast room, Jasmine on the bed seemed very delicate. She bowed her head as she played on her phone and only slightly lifted her eyelids when she saw him enter.

As if she hadn’t seen him, she stayed silent, continued playing her game.

Sylvan walked over, his tall figure standing beside the bed.

He bent over, his gaze landing on her phone screen.

As he approached, Jasmine could smell the scent of smoke on him. It was inevitable to smoke when hosting guests, and she frowned slightly.

"Shall I join you in your game?" Sylvan asked mildly.

Jasmine shook her head.

"Did you enjoy the breakfast?"

Jasmine nodded.

"Get up," he said, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close to him, holding her in his embrace, "Don’t lie in bed and play with your phone, it’s bad for your eyes."

Sylvan had already removed his suit jacket, wearing only a shirt.

He hugged her close, his arms wrapped around her waist, his chin resting on top of her head.

Jasmine, frail as she was, felt like a cat in his arms.

He saw that Jasmine still wasn’t speaking, as if she were angry.

"I was with the guests and couldn’t invite you downstairs. I delayed your flight, I’ll compensate you." He knew she would definitely miss it.

By then, it was nearly ten o’clock.

The scent of tobacco mixed with Agarwood Fragrance from his body surged into her nostrils; his chest was sturdy, but his embrace was warm.

Jasmine remained silent, not speaking to him, just playing her game.

She knew she had missed her flight.

Sylvan sat on the bed, holding her in his arms.

Jasmine, annoyed by being held while playing her game, shifted awkwardly.

However, Sylvan held her even tighter, "Are you angry?"

"Can’t you see I’m playing a game?"

"You play, I’ll watch."

Sylvan obliged, resting his chin on her head, watching her play.
