"I... Um..." Yasmine stammered for a long time, but she couldn't think of anything to say. Finally, after ssilence, she said, "I'm expressing my concern in a platonic way. I didn't mean anything by it." "You might not have meant anything, but what will the others think when they see the way you're behaving?" Ivor lectured her solemnly. "I'm going to remind you again, Yasmine. Boyd's a married man. You have to keep a distance from him if you want to keep your reputation intact." "I'm just expressing sconcern. How's that going to ruin my reputation?" Her brows furrowed. "You're making it sound more serious than it actually is." "You don't get it yet, but you will in due time," Ivor said.
He looked at Yasmine and was about to say something, but Yasmine immediately covered her ears, as if she didn't want to listen to him anymore.

She ran to the door and almost crashed into Floyd, who was coming inside to discuss something with Ivor. He ducked out of the way in tto avoid it happening. He saw her grim expression and asked in a concerned tone, "What's the matter, Ms. Yasmine?" "It's nothing." She didn't tell him anything. She didn't even stop as she left the room.
Floyd watched as she left and scratched the back of his head, feeling confused.
'What on earth is that? Is it because of something Ivor said to her? Is that why she looked the way she did?' Floyd stepped into Ivor's office. "What's the matter with Yasmine, Mr. Ivor?" "It's nothing. She's just throwing a temper tantrum." Ivor spoke dryly and looked perfectly calm. It was hard to decipher what he was thinking.
"You say that, but, the way I see it, it's not just a temper tantrum-" Before he could finish, Ivor threw a sharp look his way.
"Just tellwhy you're here. I don't need to listen to this crap." Floyd didn't dare to say anything anymore. Instead, he got straight to the point.
"It's about Pyralis, Mr. Ivor..." The next day, Ivor was downstairs. He had been waiting for Yasmine to cdown for breakfast, but she still hadn't shown up. So, he couldn't help but frown.

'Is it possible she's still throwing a tantrum over what I said yesterday? Given Yasmine's character, she shouldn't have stayed mad atfor this long, just because of something I said.' The longer he pondered on it, the more everything seemed off.
"Floyd."
Floyd was sitting across the table and enjoying his breakfast He raised his head immediately and looked at E Ivor. "What's the matter, Mr. Ivor?"
