When everyone heard an unfamiliar voice, they became silent. Confusion gripped them as they gazed at Jasmine and her followers.
As a socialite, her pomp was indeed extraordinary to bring a team.
Jasmine donned a creamy white shawl around her shoulders and a bright red retro dress. Her long, wavy hair hung loosely on the bottom and wrapped in a bun on top. She wore matching-colored pearl earrings as well. Although her makeup was delicate, I thought it was a little too much. Her flaming red lips gave her a somewhat condescending look.
Her clothes were well-fitting, and her makeup was exquisite. The two, in my opinion, were incompatible and didn't match. How could retro clothes and flaming red lips be a perfect match?
I wasn't fond of cosmetics. I'd always thought that wearing makeup in layers was burdensome. I only brushed my eyebrows and applied lip gloss for formal events. It was far more convenient.
Ever since our initial encounter, Jasmine had consistently worn makeup. She even wore nude makeup the night she moved in, lying on the bed with her clothing half undone.
If she removed her makeup, I wondered if I would still be able to recognize her.
Colin scowled and looked as if he wanted to shoo her away.
However, his response was momentarily delayed by his inebriation. I reached out and placed my hand on his, preventing him from speaking.
Jasmine seemed strangely determined. I believed her purpose of coming here was more than a simple provocation. What on earth did she want to do on such an occasion?
Instead of taking a preemptive strike without knowing her purpose, I would rather react to circumstances by maintaining composure.
If Colin hadn't drunk so much, he would have been the one to deal with Jasmine.
However, he drank a lot. Although he wasn't irrational, his comprehension and response were sluggish. I wouldn't be assured of leaving him to handle the situation.
Besides, he usually shielded me. It was time for me to protect him.
