I originally wanted Colin to wear a suit, but he said it was only a gathering. The participants were all his students. Dressing too formally would be too proper and serious, affecting everyone's mood.
After careful consideration, I thought he was right. So, he donned pants and a basic T-shirt with milky white sneakers. With good-looking facial features and black hair, he looked youthful.
His attractiveness drew Jasmine in. She was fascinated, as if her eyes could no longer accommodate anything else.
However, her attitude infuriated me. No matter how crazy she was, she shouldn't fail to grasp the meaning of his words.
Her expression and emotions fluctuated several times within a few minutes.
Jasmine's rationale soon returned. She looked pitifully at Colin, revealing her frail side through tears. She buried her face as though she'd been wronged a great deal. "Colin, I just want to celebrate your birthday. How can you bear to let them bully me? You disappointed me. I'm so sad."
I could see why she was sad, but why should she be disappointed? Was she trying to seek his help to regain her pride? Who was she to him? Her statements seemed to suggest that they had a close friendship.
Colin was also shocked with disbelief and felt even more disgust.
I secretly smiled. Perhaps he didn't expect Jasmine to be so hypocritical.
He said doubtfully, "Hold on, Ms. Taylor. How's it strange to disappoint you?"
As I couldn't stop laughing, Jasmine turned deathly pale.
