His Precious Love

Chapter 268 Jealous

Theodore’s eyes darkened as he took in Jasmine’s enchanting figure, and the faint scent of the perfume that wafted from her caused his heart rate to spike inexplicably.

Isn’t it just a dance? Why is she smiling so happily?

Jeremy was courteous. He kept his fist lightly on Jasmine’s waist as he glanced at the man below the stage. “I thought you were actually interested in me because you agreed so quickly.”

“I’d be interested if you don’t already have a girlfriend,” Jasmine joked.

Jeremy shook his head regretfully. “Unfortunately, you’re off limits. If I actually try to do something, I fear I will find myself lying in a coffin tomorrow.”

“Surely you’re exaggerating!”

“No, I’m not,” Jeremy replied sternly. “By the way, congratulations on your acquisition of Sanders Group.”

Jasmine smiled. “I should treat you to a meal for your help.”

“How courteous of you, Ms. Sanders.”

“We’re going to be a family eventually, so it’s the least I can do,” Jasmine said. “Moreover, there’s a lot that Sanders Group and your company can work on together. Obviously, I should build a good rapport with you.”

“You think too highly of me. I’m merely a shareholder and not in charge of the company.” Jeremy shook his head. “I only manage the medical research and don’t have a head for running the business like Theodore.”

Jasmine was startled.

That was unexpected. I thought Jeremy was a businessman!

When Jeremy saw Theodore’s face growing more thunderous below the stage, he purposely moved closer to Jasmine. “Ms. Sanders, are you interested in hearing a story?”

“Go on.”

Jeremy began, “I have a friend who hails from a prominent family. His father is a famous commander, and he had a strict upbringing. He, too, joined the army and eventually met a girl there.”
