"What are you talking about?" Boyce pushed Armand away.
Armand waved his hand at Jasmine, "I'm leaving. You can let Boyce take you to play with us if you are free."
After that, before Boyce got angry, he quickly got into the car, and then quickly drove the car away.
Boyce stroked his forehead and explained, "Sorry, he just likes to talk nonsense."
Jasmine stood under the street light and turned her head to look at Boyce with a cold face, "I didn't take it personally. I appreciate what you just did. If it wasn't for you just now, I'm afraid ... Well, thank you very much, but I don't want to see you again in the future."
She shrugged and said, "Goodbye."
After saying that, she turned around and walked along the street. Originally, she had a good feeling about this mature and righteous man, but she didn't have a crush on him. It was his charm that made her feel comfortable.
But today they met for the second time on such an occasion. The good feeling she had for him when she first met him was gone after this meeting. He turned out to be a hypocrite, too.
Boyce frowned. What had he done wrong?
It wasn't that he couldn't accept this attitude of Jasmine. He just wanted to find out why she treated him with such antipathy. So, he caught up with her, "You don't have to thank me. Without your mother's request, I wouldn't have bothered with your business. There are so many people on the wrong path every day. How many of them can I stop? Everyone's life is their own choice."
Jasmine stopped and turned to look at him, "My mother asked you to do this?"
Her mother was the person she was most attached to and closest to in the world. Every time her mother was mentioned, it was always hard for her to hide the pain in her heart.
Although she acted calmly, she was still young after all. Even though she suffered a lot and became mature early, she was too young in front of Boyce.
She thought she was calm enough. But in fact, her eyes had already betrayed her.
Boyce said indifferently, "Yes, she said it's hard for you to support yourself alone in this city, so she asked me to take care of you. Do you think I care about everything?"
After saying that, he raised his head, his dark eyes bright. His straight body looked imposing under the colorful light, "You are a girl, so be careful all the time. You won't have such good luck every time." After saying that, he paused for a moment, "I don't like people talking to me in a weird way."
Jasmine pursed her lips, trying to say sorry, but she couldn't say it. She could only stand in place with her hands clasped helplessly.
"Why did you come here?" Boyce asked.
He didn't mean anything. He just asked out of his sense of responsibility. He knew it wasn't easy for her to support herself as a college student who hadn't graduated yet. He promised her mother that he would help her out when she was in trouble, so he asked.
Jasmine bowed her head and said, "It's nothing."
Although she didn't have a job yet or a steady source of income and had to earn money by doing part-time jobs, she had her pride. She didn't want to show her distress in front of others.
Boyce didn't force her. Everyone had pride.
He reached out, "Do you have a cell phone?"
"What do you want?" Jasmine was defensive instinctively. She stared at him with wide, wary eyes.
Boyce let out a laugh, "If you were always this vigilant, you wouldn't have put yourself in such a predicament just now. I asked for your phone because I wanted you to save my number. You can call me when you're in trouble. Don't think too much about it. I don't mean anything. I just promised your mother and I don't want to break my promise to her."
Jasmine hesitated and didn't want to take out her phone. Boyce frowned, "You don't trust me?"
He hated to force people, "All right, be careful when you go back alone. I'm leaving."
