Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak (Yasmin and Blake) novel Chapter 118

"Sure." Erik agreed without hesitation and turned to leave.

Walking past the corridor, he glanced at Yasmin, who was downstairs. However, she didn't notice him. Instead, every man's eyes were trained on her.

Feeling uncomfortable, he leaned against the railing and deliberately called out loudly. "Yasmin Starr."

Yasmin lifted her head and finally noticed the people on the second floor—including Blake. The man was resting against the railing as he regarded her from above.

Her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't say anything.

"You're here, our darling Yasmin!" Joel leaned over the railing with a glass of wine in his hand, his lips curved into a lazy grin.

"Don't call me that," Yasmin retorted calmly.

"I'm just used to it," Joel pouted. "Why don't you invite Mr. Burke up for a drink?"

Yasmin glanced at Ivan.

The man replied, "Sure."

However, Yasmin didn't want to go upstairs. She wasn't here for them tonight, so she whispered to Ivan, "Why don't you go, Mr. Burke? I need to find Roxy and finish a task."

"Then, be careful. Call me if anything comes up," Ivan gently reminded her.

"Okay." Yasmin began making her way down the stairs.

Everyone was surprised to see her going back downstairs. Erik asked, "Why is she leaving?"

"She doesn't want to be around a certain somebody." Ivan smiled slyly, holding a glass of wine.

Erik immediately paled, assuming that Ivan was referring to him. He snorted and walked away.

Blake's expression wasn't much better.

Yasmin glided back downstairs, looking as graceful as an angel.

"Isn't that Yasmin Starr from the Starr family?" A group of women watched her and began sneering.

"Didn't her family go bankrupt? How can she afford such a pretty dress?"

Yasmin's dress clearly wasn't cheap.
