Although Yasmine looked sincere, Ivor knew she was just putting on airs. He could not predict what kind of mess she would create if he took her along. That was why he disagreed.Ivor shook his head and said, “That’s not happening. Now, return to your room and tend to your wounds. If you’re that curious about what the Nidhoggs’ leader looks like, I’ll take you to meet him once you’ve recovered fully.”Yasmine pouted and growled, “You’re not fooling me, boss. You’re just saying that to brush me off.””I told you to rest and tend to your wound, Yasmine. You shouldn’t be wandering around.” Ivor stood his ground.”Come on, boss! You-“She was about to retort, but Floyd interjected, “The car’s ready, Mr. Ivor. Are you ready to leave?””Let’s go.” Ivor brushed past Yasmine and approached the door.Floyd took after him, saying, “Right away.” Ads by PubFuture
Yasmine could only watch as they left. At that moment, she forgot about her leg injury and stomped on the ground. Immediately after, she felt an excruciating pain spread to her whole body, and she yelled, “Ouch! That hurts!”‘It’s just not my day today! Mr. Ivor refused to take me with him, and I pulled my wound!’Ivor heard her yelp and paused momentarily. Then, he continued walking.Floyd instinctively turned andglanced at Yasmine, noticing the pain she felt. He could not help but say, “Aren’t we being a little too cruel, Mr.cruel, Mr. Ivor? She got injured1.nduring the mission, y’know. Is it okayfor us to ditch her?” Ads by PubFuture
Ivor glanced sidelong at him. “It’ll be troublesome for us to bring her along.””What do you mean?” Floyd was puzzled.Ivor looked at him condescendingly. “You’ve been working with Yasmine for a while now. Have you learned anything about her? She tends to say things she doesn’t mean to get what she wants, whether it’s safe or not.”She also acts on her emotions. No one can control her if she’s unhappy, not even me,” Ivor rubbed his brows as he spoke. He would always get a headache whenever he discussed Yasmine’s character.”This can’t be a worse occasion tobring Yasmine along. The Nidhoggs’leader blocked my number, and things might get rowdy while we’re there. Yasmine’s too impulsive and might ruin everything. That’s why I refuse to bring her.” Although Yasmine had significant flaws, she was still the best in Ivor’s organization in terms of hypnosis and undercover missions. He would not have kept her around if she had no extraordinary skills. Floyd nodded understandingly. “You’re right, Mr. Ivor. She is pretty impulsive. Since you mentioned it, I agree that she should stay at the hotel.””Good thing you understand,” Ivorresponded faintly, “Also, I’m willing to bet her leg doesn’t hurt that much. She’s just yelped like that because she’s trying to gain my sympathy, so I’ll take her with us.”It was not Yasmine’s first time pulling a stunt like that. She had stuck to the same tricks too many times, and Ivor could tell at a glance.Floyd’s eyes widened. “Is she that cunning? I’ll have to be more cautious the next time she asks me for anything. Otherwise, I’ll unwittingly fall for her tricks.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
