Wooing My Ex-Wife

Jasmine was upset at being told what to do. “Why are you ordering me around?”

Following the instructions he had received from Craig, the bodyguard assumed a firm and unwavering stance, saying, “Ms. Jasmine, I’m just giving you a friendly reminder that your mission is to ensure Ms. Jennifer’s safety.”

“Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?”

Lowering his head, the bodyguard replied with a veiled threat, “It’s true that we have no right to do so, but we’re under Mr. Newton’s orders to protect you. It’s our duty to report to him everything you said and did upon our return.”

His words outraged Jasmine. “Are you threatening me?”

The bodyguard lowered his head further.

“I wouldn’t dare.”

In spite of his words, his attitude remained just as defiant.

Although she had never been disrespected to this extent before, Jasmine had no choice but to swallow her pride in the face of Craig’s authority. Thereafter, she walked begrudgingly toward Elven, who was standing at the door of Harrick Villa.

“In that case, Elven, how is Jennifer doing? Is she in the villa? Can you give Gwendolyn a call and tell her that I just want to check on Jennifer? I’ll leave right after that.”

Hearing her words, the two bodyguards behind her grew vigilant. Their heads were lowered to hide the murderous intent brimming from their eyes.

After throwing Jasmine’s bodyguards a glance, Elven shook his head again and explained candidly, “There’s no one in the villa. They’ve all gone out.”

Jasmine inquired, “Do you know where they have taken Jennifer?”

Elven grinned in response. “I’m just a bodyguard who’s doing his job. My employer is not obligated to keep me informed of her affairs.”

The tone behind his gentle smile clearly conveyed his sentiments.

Jasmine subsequently turned around and gave her bodyguards the side–eye, followed by a snort of displeasure.

“Did you not hear the man? Jennifer isn’t in the villa. What else do you want me to do?”

Both the bodyguards bowed at once. “We’re sorry.”

After clicking her tongue at the bodyguards, Jasmine bid Elven farewell and left for home.
