Chapter 37
Xavier trudged upstairs, his mind racing with thoughts of Yonas and Yasmine leaving together. He frowned, unable to shake the growing suspicion inside him, and lit at cigarette.. 'Could it be true that Yasmine actually betrayed me during our marriage?' he wondered. The cold, decisive way she had acted during their divorce made the thought hit home. Taking a long drag from his cigarette, Xavier pulled out his phone and found a number he rarely called. Curiosity and doubt gnawed at him. He felt like he had to confront Yasmine. The call connected almost immediately, but instead of hearing Yasmine's voice, he got a robotic response, "The number you have dialed is not in service."
Xavier frowned and hung up, stubbornly deciding to give it another shot. "The number you have dialed is not..."
He hung up in frustration, squeezing his phone with anger. "Damn it, Yasmine! She actually blocked me!'
Yasmine wasn't feeling any emotional turmoil over Xavier's presence. She just got to bed early since she had work the next day. When she got to school, she was immediately called into a meeting with her fellowNôvelDrama.Org content.
teachers.
As always, the school was gearing up for its annual psychology knowledge competition to boost student learning and teamwork. Yet this year, due to other activities, it was postponed to midterms, when the responsible teachers were busy with their classes. "How about letting Ms. Sanchez handle this year's competition," one teacher suggested, glancing at Yasmine. "She's Mr. Chase's pride, not much older than the students, and has experience as a student council officer organizing events. She should handle it just fine." Instantly, all the teachers turned to look at Yasmine. Aurelith University really emphasized education, and psychology was a big part of that. Yasmine knew her colleagues would be overwhelmed during exam season, so she nodded without hesitation. "If you all trust me. I don't mind taking it on." 40 Tue, Sep 10 Chapter 37 With that, the meeting was done, and it quickly spread that Yasmine would be in charge. of this year's psychology knowledge competition. She was already popular and by noon, she had a flood of inquiries from students wanting to sign up. school,
At lunch, Yoselin burst into her office. "Yasmine, it's lunchtime. I've been waiting for you downstairs for ages. Why haven't you come down yet?"
Yasmine glanced at the clock and realized how fast the time had flown. Rubbing her sore nose, she replied, "I was working on plans for the competition. So many more students are signing up than I expected. I was feeling confident, but now I'm a bit overwhelmed." Yoselin trotted over and linked her arm through Yasmine's. "That's no big deal! Let's hit up the Planning Department after lunch and put up some posters for the competition. We can also grab a couple of students from the planning team to help with sign-ups. "If we get too many, I can ask the student council president for backup and move the venue to the largest hall at school."
Yoselin looked like a delicate princess but had remarkable planning skills. Yasmine had some ideas in mind, but since she was still new to the school, she didn't know many students yet. Thanks to Yoselin's help, everything was going much smoother. Feeling a bit better, Yasmine ruffled Yoselin's hair. "Good girl. Let's go, and lunch is on me today. What do you want to eat? Order whatever you like."
Yoselin grinned mischievously. "Since you insisted, I won't hold back. I'm going to max out your meal card today."
