Love Knows No Bounds

"Kendall, I'm no longer your love rival. It was wrong of me to come at you and treat you the way I had. I believe it'll do neither of us any good if we keep this up," Yasmine said softly. "We both live in Orapolis, and the social circle here is only this big; we're sure to see much of each other. Also, it gets pretty awkward when we're always at each other's throats. I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I've decided to make peace with you and apologize. I'm sorry, Kendall!" Yasmine apologized earnestly.

Kendall tucked away her teasing expression and looked into Yasmine's eyes silently.

She knew exactly why Yasmine would do this.

Loathe couldn't even begin to describe the hatred this woman had for her. Yet, she was willing to humble herself, come to her to apologize, and make peace for the sake of Zorn Holdings and her family.

She was one that could mind the greater good and also one who could yield whenever needed.

"Yasmine, I've never actively messed with you."

"The fault is mine."

Kendall smiled. "You might be willful and love helping Kelly screw with me so that I'd embarrass myself in the past, and I honestly detest you, but some things about you remind me of myself. I don't want to help you with some things as you should learn your lessons."

Dylan had sought revenge and also backed Parker Corporation up for her. However, it didn't mean that she would ask him to stop just because Yasmine had come to make peace and apologize.

The woman still had to suffer the consequences of her actions.

As for the severity of it, Dylan knew where to draw the line, and she wouldn't tell him what to do but only thank him and love him even more.

Yasmine chewed her lips for a moment before saying with some liberation, "Seeing how you're not agreeing to it immediately, you've also altered my opinion of you. Most of what Kelly says isn't credible."

She was long aware that her so-called best friend was duplicitous. That woman just wanted to use her to destroy Kendall.

With that, she reached for her bag and pulled an invitation out, presenting it to Kendall. "I like spending my summers in the villa my family owns in the suburbs, and I love holding parties there. I'm having one next sixth. You're more than welcome to join us."

Kendall didn't turn her down but instead took a look at the card. "Saturday? You sure know how to pick a date. Most people are free on that day. Okay then, I'll shamelessly show up if I have the time."

Yasmin's guests were all big shots of high society, and she needed to learn to socialize and fit into these events.

"You're my guest, so there's no need to make yourself sound so shameless. Then again, you are pretty shameless. To think Master Dylan can tolerate you." Yasmine shook her head and clicked her tongue. "What a phenomenon."

"In that case, don't forget to pay your viewing fees."

Yasmine chuckled in exasperation and said, "You're already the young mistress of the Coleman Family, Kendall, not the country girl who couldn't even fish out half a million. Can you not act like you're cash-strapped?"

"But it makes me happy to see that I can cheat you of your money."

Rendered speechless, Yasmine gave up bickering with Kendall seeing that she couldn't outmatch the woman's sharp tongue.

With that, she handed Kendall the L.E. Boutique shopping bags and said with exasperation when the latter didn't take them from her. "Look, no matter how much money I have, I will never give you any pieces of clothing Laura designed herself. These are the clothes Master Dylan had asked her to design for you. She happened to have gotten two done when I went over to hers, so she asked me to hand them to you. I should see to the end when I've given her my promise. It'll make my errand easier if you accept them."

It was only then that Kendall took the bags from her and checked the clothes out. They were indeed the two among the forty sets of clothing Laura had designed for her.

"You're currently working, aren't you? I won't take up any more of your time then."

At that, Kendall set the clothes on the chair beside her and smiled. "What's the point of saying this if you're still taking up my time when you clearly know I'm working? Since I've come to meet you, I should at least make it worthwhile by finishing the coffee and dessert while pissing you off while I'm at it, no?"

Yasmine turned grimly in response.

This woman really knew how to enrage her, and Kendall could stir up her anger with just a few words.

"Drink. Finish your coffee. See if you can fall asleep tonight," Yasmin snapped exasperatedly. "Go ahead, finish these desserts and gain ten pounds."

Kendall chuckled in response. "Coffee in the morning won't affect my slumber at night. Also, I told you that I don't gain weight no matter how I eat. How about you order another ten pounds of dessert, and let's see if I'll be able to gain the ten pounds?"

Yasmine fell speechless for a moment. "You're a natural beauty, Kendall. Don't ruin what the heavens have given you."

It sounded like she was a little disappointed in Kendall.

"Thank you, I'm flattered!"

Yasmine wanted to flip out, but she knew she shouldn't, so she just went to pay the bill instead.

She didn't even want to return to their table after paying the bill, so she just bid Kendall farewell from afar. "See you."

No, see her never, or she'd only be pissed off again. Once she was pissed off, she'd let her anger get the better of her, then she'd give Kendall a hard time. Yet, she couldn't outmatch the woman verbally or physically. There was really nothing she could do about that woman.

"Sure, see you next sixth," said Kendall aloud as she waved Yasmine goodbye with a smile, making the latter want to pounce at Kendall and reclaim the invitation.
