Jasmine Yale saw a different temperament in him, neither arrogant nor impatient, gentle and refined.

Being with him was like basking in a spring breeze, very pleasant.

They chatted while drinking afternoon tea.

When the painting was finished, he gave it to Jasmine Yale.

“It’s not very well done, don’t be disappointed,” Yukon Carbon said.

“I really like it,” Jasmine packed it up. “Sweet Kitty will definitely like it too.”

“How about I take you to Old York when you have winter break?”

“Winter break… I might need to work part-time.”

“Not coming back for the New Year?”

Jasmine shook her head: “No, I won’t be going back anymore in the future.”

“That’s fine, my mother isn’t too keen on going to Old York for the New Year either. My father and I will be coming to Chicago then, you should come too.”

“Is your family not going back to your country?” Jasmine asked.

“No, we don’t have any relatives back home, we haven’t been back for many years.”

“I’d rather not disturb you all during family reunion time, I can travel somewhere then,” said Jasmine, feeling it wasn’t quite right to intrude on someone else’s family gathering.

After all, she was an outsider.

Even though Aunt Camden and Mr. Carbon had been very good to her, she wasn’t quite at… that stage yet.

“It’s still early, we’ll talk about it later,” Yukon Carbon said. “I have a flight back to Old York tonight, the bakery’s going to be hard work for you.”

“It’s what I should do,” Jasmine waved it off. “I’ll take good care of the shop, Boss Carbon. When will you be coming back next time?”

“It’s hard to say, it depends on the circumstances.”

Yukon Carbon couldn’t make any promises to her, but deep down, he wanted to come back.

Some things were quietly changing, and he couldn’t articulate the trajectory or feeling of this change.

He looked up at Jasmine Yale, a slight smile brimming at the corners of his lips.

When Jasmine raised her head, she met his intense gaze, which was warm despite its intensity.

…

That evening, Yukon Carbon didn’t leave for the airport until after seven o’clock.

Jasmine Yale couldn’t go to see him off, she was alone helping out at the bakery.

With Aunt Camden out on some business, she followed routine and closed up around nine o’clock to go home.

She wrapped her arms around Sweet Kitty contentedly and called Ann Nolan on the way.

She knew that during her weekends off, Ann habitually worked overtime and had rented a place near her office instead of returning to the Santos Mansion.

“Ann, are you off work yet? I’ve just come back from my part-time job.”

“Jasmine, I didn’t go to the office today, I’m not feeling very well,” Ann Nolan frowned.

“What’s wrong? Did you go to the hospital?”

“No, it’s nothing serious, just feeling a bit under the weather.”

“Did you overdo the late nights? Don’t overwork yourself. You should rest early. Be mindful of your diet these days. It’s getting colder, take care of yourself.”

“Recently it’s been okay. Do you know? Our company was acquired, there’s a new boss, guess who it is.”

“When did this happen? Your company is so strong, how could it be acquired just like that?” Jasmine couldn’t guess; she didn’t understand these matters.

“It started to spread last month, and I just found out recently, it’s Zachary Santos. As soon as he came back to the country, he acquired several companies. It seems he’s planning to develop here.”

Jasmine understood.

Zachary Santos was Zaiden Santos’s brother.

Last time Ann talked to her about it, she said Zachary Santos was also educated in finance and was very capable abroad, but she never expected that as soon as he returned, he took immediate action.

“Then he will be your direct boss, that’s good, isn’t it?” Jasmine thought it was a good thing.
