Perfect Match: Irresistible Desire For You -
Chapter 120
Back when Jeffery was still the president of the collage taekwondo union, he was occasionally invited to coach the members of her club. There he met Yasmin, who had exceptional face and fighting skills. Now that she was standing in front of him, he could say that she had changed a lot.
The cheerful young girl he used to know was totally grown up now. She was wearing light makeup and a business suit, which made her look more mature and elegant.
“Jeffery, I’m so happy to meet you here. When did you come back?”
For Yasmin, the past had become a part of her sweetest memories.
Therefore, she could safely say that she no longer had feelings for him. She didn’t even have to be careful with her words, and pretend to be full of grace when she talked to him. Now she could express her thoughts in front of him freely without getting nervous.
“I’ve been back for nearly half a month. I’m also glad to see an old schoolmate around.”
What were the chances that Jeffery would bump into an old schoolmate in half a month after being away for so long? He felt excited to see a familiar face, so he chatted happily with Yasmin, who was still as talkative as before.
In the bustling downtown, few empty cabs were shuttling through the traffic as they talked on the sidewalk. After a while, they both agreed to continue chatting in the coffee shop at the corner of the nearby street since they still had free time.
The two of them talked for about twenty minutes until Jeffery received a phone call, and told Yasmin he had to leave first. Maybe it was because Jeffery was in a hurry that he forgot his coat in his chair. When Yasmin saw it, she quickly picked it up and followed him outside.
“Jeffery, you forgot to take your coat.” Luckily, she managed to reach him before he got in the taxi.
“Thank you! I totally forgot about this coat…” Jeffery noticed that her face was flushed, and she was catching her breath from running fast. He smiled and reached out to smoothen her messy hair.
“I have to go. I’ll see you next time.” Then he flashed her a smile before getting in the taxi.
“Okay. Be careful on the way.” With a smile, Yasmin waved him goodbye until the taxi disappeared from her sight.
Afterwards, she decided to wait for a taxi, so she could go back to her apartment.
It was true that Yasmin was glad to see and have a long conversation with Jeffery after a long time, but not in the way she used to feel when she was younger. He didn’t make her heart flutter anymore. Instead, she felt relaxed reuniting with an old friend.
Perhaps the feelings she had for Jeffery in the past were only caused by teenage hormones, or perhaps it had faded as time went by. It may also because the man she loved now had replaced him in her heart.
If that’s the case, how long would it take for her to forget the man she loved now? Yasmin watched the people come and go in a daze. She was lost in the lively scene in front of her, so she didn’t notice the person who was looking at her from afar.
Only when a car pulled up in front of her did she come back to her senses.
“Get in the car!”
The driver of the car rolled down the window to meet her eyes. Yasmin was surprised and confused at the same time when she heard what he said.
“Why should I listen to you?” This question came out of Yasmin’s mouth without thinking too much.
Things happened so fast that she wasn’t able to struggle when Zachary came to her and pulled her into the car.
“What do you want? Why do you keep doing these ridiculous things?” The annoyance in her voice couldn’t be denied as she complained from the backseat.
But no matter what she said, Zachary didn’t answer her. He quickly drove off, making Yasmin curse in her mind.
How could he just barge into her life again after he left her hanging for more than half a month?
Looking at Zachary, whose full attention was on the road, Yasmin realized that he didn’t have a plan to answer her question. Anger rose in her heart in an instant. “Zachary! Weren’t you the one who agreed that we shouldn’t get involved in each other’s lives? Are you that bored to break your own promise?”
‘It wasn’t easy for me to get used to your absence. Why did you have to come back?’
Although Zachary wasn’t reacting, it could be told from the way he clenched the steering wheel that he was affected by her words. He wasn’t saying anything, but his heart was full of bitterness. ‘If only you know how hard it is for me to stay away from you. I can’t get you out of my head, nor out of my heart… I can’t bear to see you happy with another man.’
This afternoon, when Zachary was on his way to his villa, two people laughing on the sidewalk caught his attention. Perhaps it was because both Yasmin and Jeffery were good-looking, or perhaps it was because they looked so happy.
As cliché as it sounded, he also saw them walk into a cafe at the corner when he parked his car in the downtown parking lot.
His very first thought was that this man might be the boyfriend she had mentioned many times before, and he couldn’t deny the fact that seeing them together sent a sharp pain in his heart. The hope he had that Yasmin and her boyfriend had broken up when the man in question didn’t show up when she was sick immediately vanished. At that time, Zachary even thought that she was just lying to him.
But now, the proof was right in front of him. Yasmin had a bright smile, which reached her eyes as she spoke to the man next to her. It was contrary to her cold expression whenever she was with Zachary. It could only be imagined how painful it was for him.
Zachary had a hard time stopping himself from barging into the cafe. In fact, he wanted to rush out of his car to interrupt their date, but he didn’t know how to. He had nothing to do with her now anyway.
Just as when he was about to enter the cafe to pretend that he had come across them coincidentally, the man she was with came out of the cafe alone. The satisfaction Zachary felt didn’t last long, because Yasmin quickly followed him out.
From where he was standing, Zachary could only see half of their faces, but he saw that Yasmin handed a coat to him. Then, the man raised his hand and smoothed her hair. They whispered something to each other before finally saying goodbye.
A woman giving a man a coat, and the man stroking her hair. The scene was so romantic that it broke Zachary’s heart.
‘It looks like you are kind and tender to everyone except me…’
When Yasmin was finally alone, Zachary drove in her direction right away. His emotions overpowered him, so he pushed her into the car with a cold expression and drove away.
The scene he had witnessed made him want to be selfish just this once. He would keep her close to himself, even if that meant he had to tie her up.
