Jasmine pulled Suny to a corner, and after confirming Austin didn't follow, she muttered to Suny, "You guys are getting back together, aren't you?"
Suny glanced at Jasmine with a brief smile. "Why? I don't deserve Austin?"
"Of course not! You're way out of his league!" After learning what Suny had done for Austin from the interview held by the Uni. anniversary, Jasmine had redefined Suny's love to Austin. The criticism heaped on their marriage and her bravery to fly over thousands of miles just for going to Austin's university were so jaw-dropping.
Austin was great, but Jasmine just thought Suny deserved a better man.
Suny raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Is he ugly?"
"No."
"Is he incapable?"
"Not really."
"Then is he morally wrong?"
"Well, he seems nice."
"Then what makes you think I'm too good for him?"
This question got Jasmine's tongue. Actually, Austin was very pleasing in appearance, and KLOC's thriving business spoke for his capability. After a long time, Jasmine mumbled, "It's just my feeling. I don't feel it right."
Suny glazed at the fruit juice in her hands and said, "Look, Jasmine. You'll never find the best person because there's always a better choice out there. You have to follow your gut."
Jasmine fell into silence, glazing at Suny into an empty stare. In her blurry vision, Suny's long hair fell down her face and her voice was marshmallow soft. Suny chose Austin because she loved him. That was undeniable.
Before Jasmine spoke, Austin quietly approached behind Suny and gestured Jasmine to leave.
Suny stirred the ice cubes in the glass absent-mindedly. When she lifted her head, she found Austin sat across the table.
Suny's face registered surprise. "When're you here? Where is Jasmine?"
"I heard you guys talking about me." Austin was feeling a warm glow inside.
Suny took a sip of the juice and lifted her eyes at him. "Weren't you with Mr. Read?"
"I'm not the only guest here today."
"Well," Her cheeks suddenly flamed after saying such an embarrassing thing.
