The car turned a corner, leaving the main road of the urban area, and headed onto a quiet road.
The road was clean and spacious, but tall trees were planted along the sides.
It was the middle of sumr, and the green leaves were lush; when the wind blew, the ground was covered with fallen leaves.
There were almost no vehicles on this road; it usually takes a while to see a car passing by.
Most rural areas in UT are like this, so Jasmine Yale didn’t find it unusual; she rely had a vague suspicion that he was taking her to the countryside.
No wonder he said the journey would be quite long.
There were no cars on the road, and not a single person; the entire road felt like it had no end, stretching straight ahead.
When the wind blew, the night deepened.
The headlights illuminated the road ahead, and Sylvan Cheney drove steadily, unhurried and composed.
Jasmine Yale looked around; after a while, finding nothing of interest, she stopped looking.
Perhaps it was because the trees were tall, large, and lush, the wind here felt significantly smaller, and she couldn’t even hear the whistling of the wind outside the window.
"Jasmine Yale, you’re too trusting. If any random guy asked you out today, would you go out with them?" Sylvan asked in a deep voice.
"They aren’t you."
"..."
It was just a few words, yet Sylvan’s heart was stirred, unable to settle for a long ti.
After a mont of silence, he slowly spoke: "Is it because I look like your husband so you’re not guarded around ?"
"Guess." Jasmine giggled.
"Jasmine Yale!" He was incensed by her.
"Keep your voice down, my baby is asleep." Jasmine glared at him and touched her belly.
Sylvan contained his anger and did not argue with her.
True audacity.
"How long until we arrive, President?"
"Half an hour."
"Oh, good, we can chat for a while, right?"
"What do we have to talk about?"
"Oh, then I’ll sleep, I’ll nap for half an hour, and we’ll arrive after I wake up." Saying this, Jasmine adjusted her sitting position.
Seeing her genuinely planning to sleep, Sylvan frowned disdainfully: "There are several tender docunts from the past few days, thoroughly review them, and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each company, preferably make a spreadsheet for ."
"Sure, sure."
"Kade Yuvan has been sharing a lot of work with you lately, if you get a chance, you can treat him to a al."
"I understand."
"Good that you do, in the workplace, don’t owe anyone anything, and don’t take advantage of others. Sotis a loss can be a blessing."
"Can I take advantage of the President?"
"You want to take advantage of , really?"
"Can I?" Jasmine’s eyes sparkled, face full of anticipation.
"Guess." Sylvan retaliated impishly.
"..." Jasmine was instantly angry, "Despicable, shaless."
Truly shaless.
Sylvan smirked, his eyes twinkling with amusent.
The car drove forward, the journey becoming more tranquil, and the sounds of insects chirping in the grass and woods beca more frequent, a soft chatter.
On the empty country road, the moonlight was bright, the air was thin, and there was no pollution in the air, the greenery was exceptionally vibrant.
Looking into the distance, occasionally one could see faint rays of light, that was the lights from the houses on the roadside.
Jasmine always felt Sylvan was more talkative now, and his restrained temper made him quite approachable.
Usually, Jasmine liked to sleep in his car, but today she didn’t feel sleepy at all and really wanted to chat with him.
The unpleasantness from a few days ago, she had already forgotten.
