“Even so, are you going to go out with her?” Officer Miller asked.
Officer Miller did it purely for Boyce. According to his abilities, he would definitely not be limited to hold a deputy’s position, but he would go further in the future.
‘If he married Jasmine, a girl without any family background and who had such a mother, his official career would be affected.’
‘If his wife had a strong background, he would go easier in the future. If that wife is Jasmine, that is to say, she would not be helpful to him and it would be harder for him.’ Boyce got what Officer Miller meant. He never thought to rely on his wife to carve out a niche for himself.
Although he was very ambitious, he just wanted to rely on himself.
“I don’t have so many requirements for my wife. As long as two people get along, the family background is not so important.”
‘Officer Miller was not very surprised. He already expected that answer. If Boyce broke up with Jasmine because of that, he would not value him so much.’
He stood up and patted Boyce’s shoulder, “Get prepared.”
Boyce gave a hum.
“I have always admired you. I wanted you to be my son-in-law but we don’t have that kind of connection. But regarding the professional career, I will always fight for you as far as I can.”
Officer Miller took his hand back, “Okay, just do your stuff. She has been suffering a lot. Try to comfort her, be nice to her.”
Boyce looked up to Officer Miller to clarify his relationship with Jasmine, but at that crucial moment, he preferred not to talk about that, but only said, “I know, I’ll go then.”
Officer Miller waved his hand, “Just go.”
Boyce went out of the room back to his office, opened the door and realized that Jasmine who had been sitting on the sofa before disappeared. The office was empty and the water on the table had not been drunk.0000000
Where did she go?
Boyce turned around and left, he saw that someone was coming towards him so he asked, “Did you see anyone leaving from my office?”
The person shook his head and said, “I haven’t seen.”
She had no place to go, did she go back to the school?
When Boyce thought of that, he went towards the door with big steps, he almost ran into Wendy who came inside.
“In a rush? Where are you going?” Wendy was wearing a flower dress, white sandals and her hair was open, she was wearing make up and looked at him laughing. Boyce answered, “Nothing.”
“Since you got nothing to do, why don’t we have some tea together, I wanna talk to you.” She curled her lips, “Let’s find a place, or should we stay in your office?” “Wendy, actually I don have something…”
“Didn’t you just say there was nothing? Or are you trying to hide from me? Because of what happened in my apartment the other time?”
“No…”
“So what is it? We have known each other so long, don’t you understand me? I am here to apologize, I got divorced to Corey because he cheated on me, I have my opinions to men, that is why I always show an unpleasant face to everyone, these days I really regretted it, I want to say sorry to you in person.”
“No need, it’s okay, I didn’t take it to heart, I really got something to do, I have got to go.” After Boyce said that, he nodded apologetic and left quickly.”
“I am here.”
Just as Boyce walked out of the gate, Jasmine called out for him.
She didn’t leave, she only wanted to find someone to get more information on the situation, she wanted to take her mother away to bury, when she walked pass the main department office, she heard Officer Miller talk to Boyce.
Even thought she wanted to be the person who was able to help Boyce, but she knew, even if she finished her degree, she might not be the person who could do that. Even now he already had a high position, he was such a good person, he should be able to get better.
He should marry a woman who was able to help him.
Boyce frowned, “Where did you go?”
“I went to someone who was on the case, I got the information I needed, I want to bury her soon.”
Wendy was smiling, “You guys talk, I won’t disturb you.”
In that moment she was again the person that seemed to be of good character, but in her heart she wasn’t thinking that at all.
But to save the impression that Boyce had of her, she had to do that.
After saying so, she left.
In the moment she turned her back to them, the smile on her face vanished.
“If you need my help, let me know.” Boyce said.
Jasmine shook her head, “There is nothing, I will take her home for the funeral.”
Boyce looked at her, “You, are you good?”
Before she looked as if she wasn’t able to take it on anymore, why did she seem fine now?
How could she be okay? She was only hiding it, she was a strong a person all along.
“People cannot come back from the dead, I will have to do my best to live my life well, I think my mother wouldn’t want to see me sad.”
“It’s good that you think like that.” Boyce sighed, he was afraid she wouldn’t be able to walk out of it.
“Boyce.” Armand came inside, he saw that Jasmine was there and smiled while greeting her, “Oh, Jasmine, you are also here.”
“You guys must have something to talk about, I am leaving now.” Jasmine nodded towards them, turned around to leave, she already got the explanation to the process, after getting everything done she could take the body home.
Armand put his arm around Boyce shoulder, “Are you fighting? Why does she seem upset? Her eyes are swollen too, did you bully her?”
Boyce didn’t want to mind him, he only looked at him, “What do you want?”
Armand laughed, “Nothing major.”
“Since you got nothing, then leave.” Boyce went towards his office, Armand followed him, and curled his lips, “Look at you, forget about your best mate when you have a girl.” Boyce didn’t say anything, but had a cold face on, clearly he wasn’t in the mood to argue with him, Armand bumped him with his shoulder carefully, “Are you and Jasmine fighting…?” “Are you done?” Boyce interrupted him coldly.
Armand cursed inside, he was really not in a good mood, he didn’t continue, and said seriously, “I am here for something.”
Boyce opened the door and asked, “What is it?”
“It’s… Cormac wants us to go to the villa, I think he is inviting us for dinner.” Armand didn’t look at Boyce.
He came to see Boyce because he wanted him to join for the dinner at the villa, actually he was going to see Theresa, that was his goal.
But now that Boyce was not in a good mood, if he told him the truth, Boyce would never want to go with him, so, he had to tell a lie, saying that Cormac wanted them to go.
He couldn’t find an excuse for himself to go, he could only find someone to go with him.
