When Jasmine takes off her clothes, Nina understands why she said that just now.
Jasmine's chest, waist and thigh are all red, purple and bruised marks. Moreover, these marks are obviously new, no later than yesterday.
The waitress smiles and says, "Miss Harris, your boyfriend is so hot!"
Jasmine quickly puts on the broad bathrobe and blushes slightly, "Oh, I'm really going to be tossed to death by him. Sometimes several times a day. You always ask me why I'm so thin. Can I not be thin? Every time I manage to gain a little weight, then he will toss it off."
Nina is bending her head to wear the bathrobe, but she can hear her every word clearly.
Nina's face turns a little pale, and the belt of her bathrobe can not be tied several times.
Sunny is secretly surprised. Although Jasmine is gentle and generous, it's really strange that she is bold like today to discuss the business in bed with the female technician on her own initiative.
Nina just comes out of the bath and hears her cell phone ringing in the closet.
She opens the closet and takes out the mobile phone. Unexpectedly, the call comes from Lucien.
Looking at the head portrait of Lucien on the screen of mobile phone, Nina is a little guilty and turns her back to Jasmine.
"Nina, since you've taken out your cell phone, why don't you answer the phone?" Sunny is enjoying the service of the shop assistant lazily and asks her curiously at the same time.
"Er... Wrong number..." Nina is so nervous that she hangs up rapidly.
It's like being caught in an affair. Nina suddenly feels a burst of humiliation. In front of Jasmine, can she never be decent and straight-out?
"Since you didn't answer the phone, how do you know it was the wrong number?" Jasmine smiles and stares at her with a little sharp eyes.
Nina feels uneasy. Does Jasmine know something? Or is she suscipious?
Nina returns to her bed in panic. When she is about to lie down, her cell phone rings again.
Nina hurriedly runs to the closet and takes out her cell phone. She glances at it. As expected, Lucien calls again. With a movement of her finger, she hangs up the phone without hesitation and directly presses the "off" button.
The world is finally quiet.
Nina lies on the bed, listening to Jasmine and Sunny fitfully talking about the wedding.
"Lucien said that we will get married at the end of the year, but I still haven't decided. It is cold at the end of the year, so the lawn wedding can not be done. Sunny, the time of your wedding is better. The weather is exactly good." Jasmine says it and glances at Nina.
Sunny is a little surprised, "Lucien has proposed to you?"
Nina can't help but listen to her carefully. She is so nervous that her breath becomes heavy.
"Well, it's not a formal proposal, just a discussion on the wedding time. If the formal proposal is so hasty, I won't accept it!" Jasmine's tone is very pouting, which is full of happiness and sweetness.
The waitress couldn't help interjecting, "Miss Harris, you are so lucky. Mr. Gray is the dream lover of many girls in Cagliari. He is typically tall, rich and handsome! Last time he sent you to do spa, I took a long look at him. He is so handsome! After catching sight of him, I don't even want to see my boyfriend!"
Lucien sent Jasmine for spa...
So thoughtful.
Nina turns over to get up and smiles at the waitress, "It's a little hot. I'll take a shower."
Her voice is a little stuffy, with a little nasal.
