Jasmine was stunned when she heard what Westley said. No wonder she had never heard any news about his marriage. He had been keeping it a secret.
Gabrielle, on the other hand, was probably not well-known in Antawood. Otherwise, she would have heard her name already.
If she was from a rich family, the news of their marriage should have spread all over the country.
"Mr. Morris, please rest assured. I won't tell anyone about your marriage, I'm not a reporter." Jasmine said calmly.
No one wanted to offend such a powerful man like Westley. She didn't want to get on his bad side, neither did she want to gossip about his personal affairs.
"Thank you, Ms. Walker," Westley replied calmly.
Gabrielle handed him the thermos. "Westley, could you send the breakfast to Star? I need to have a few words with Ms. Walker."
"Alright." Westley kissed her forehead, paying no mind to their surroundings. Then he carried the thermos into the corridor afterward.
It was the first time that Jasmine had ever seen someone show off their emotions so freely.
"Ms. Jones, how long have you been married to Mr. Morris? I'm sorry, I don't mean to pry into your private affairs. You two look very much in love," Jasmine asked directly.
"It's been more than six months." Gabrielle thought it wouldn't be too bad to tell Jasmine.
Although they didn't announce their marriage in public, people close to them knew.
"You two look so great together. I can see that Mr. Morris adores you very much. You must be very happy, Ms. Jones,"
Jasmine said.
Even if Jasmine was saying it to be polite, Gabrielle was still happy to hear it.
After all, everyone liked to hear compliments, more so because Jasmine was praising their marriage.
"Thank you. We do cherish each other very much,"
Gabrielle answered with a smile. She had always known how much Westley loved her.
Jasmine had only recently learned about their marriage and had no way of knowing how they were doing as a couple. That was why she could only say flattering words.
But Gabrielle didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.
"Mrs. Morris, I'm sorry I misunderstood you before. I asked my father and he told me you turned down his offer. After I met your husband, I feel terrible that we did that to you. It's clear you don't need the money, you are Mrs. Morris after all. I sincerely apologize for our rude behavior." Jasmine apologized wholeheartedly, feeling ashamed of her actions.
She felt her cheeks burn up from embarrassment when she thought of how she had insulted the Morris Group CEO's wife with such a small sum of money.
"Ms. Walker, it's alright. You didn't know I was married to Westley, I won't blame you. It's not a big deal anyway, please don't worry about it,"
Gabrielle replied calmly. She didn't want people to fuss over their marriage.
"It's really kind of you, Mrs. Morris. Didn't you want to tell me something else?" Jasmine changed the topic.
