Beauty and The Boss

"If I were you, I wouldn't think twice about accepting Brian's date; you're the only stupid girl who can resist the charms of the campus belle! Seriously, I can't get over it. What's your problem? What kind of man do you want?" Emily was still grumbling while fixing her makeup, which was honestly still very perfect.Sun Cafe is quiet this afternoon, quieter than usual; only Emily's voice and the song played by the cafe operator can be heard. As usual, we will always come here when we are too lazy to go to campus. Campus life is very boring, to be honest, as if the world continues to revolve around a man named Brian, a man I just rejected a few days ago. I'm not sure what the advantages of the man who is always glorified by the entire campus are; besides his handsome face, what else does he have?Ah, let me introduce myself; my name is Jasmine Smith. There is nothing special about me; it's just that my family is quite rich, so my life feels very easy. I can get anything I want. But som

"What do you think? Which one should I wear?" I showed Bastian the two dresses I was holding.Jaden had set up an unexpected meeting for me and Nicholas.

I’m sure I haven’t done anything wrong right now, so why is he looking at me with that irritating smirk?My eyes drift back to the large mirror in front of me, reflecting my figure wrapped neatly in a simple cream dress, its long sleeves finished with delicate lace at the cuffs.I thought only English aristocrats would wear something like this. And yet, here it is, clinging perfectly to my body.“You look like—”I clamp my hand over Bastian’s mouth before he can finish. Nothing good ever comes out of that man’s mouth. I can guarantee it.“You look perfect,” Jaden cuts in, now standing by the doorway of my room.Of course he would say that. The dress was his choice, after all.“Don’t look at me like that. I didn’t choose it without a reason. It may look a bit old-fashioned, but it carries history. I’m sure it’ll give you strength and motivation,” Jaden explains as he walks over to me.He stops right in front of me and gently smooths the s
