Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Longing Tugs at the Heartstrings
“Hey, why are you treating me like a kid,” Joe Heath looked at Jasmine Yale, “I’m not uneducated. Star Sharp is back on track under my leadership. My dad’s old methods are outdated, I’ve already booted them out.”
“Speaking of Star Sharp, it reminds me of Lincoln Lamar. Isn’t he an artist signed to your group? Why are there rumors online that he has left the entertainment industry?”
Jasmine was very curious.
Because Lincoln Lamar is in his prime and successful.
His good looks combined with his impressive acting skills suggest a promising future.
However, it’s precisely at this apex when Lincoln Lamar disappeared without a trace.
The official explanation from Star Sharp was that Lincoln Lamar got injured while shooting and was recuperating at a resort.
Jasmine didn’t buy it.
“It’s nothing,” Joe Heath vaguely responded.
Mentioning Lincoln Lamar would undoubtedly lead Jasmine to ask about Peyenne Jones.
As expected, Jasmine immediately shook Joe Heath’s arm—
“Has there been any news about my good friend Peyenne? Why hasn’t she contacted me till now? Where is she?”
Indeed, Peyenne Jones hasn’t been in contact with her for a long time.
“Jasmine, look, I’ve been stranded on a deserted island too recently; I really don’t know. I’ll let you know when I hear anything, okay?”
Jasmine nodded: “Alright. Remember.”
“Remember, remember. I’ll definitely remember.”
“Hmm,” Jasmine finally felt relieved.
Other than Joe Heath, she didn’t know who to turn to for details about Peyenne.
Her circle of friends isn’t that influential; she doesn’t know anyone with such capability.
Joe Heath, in his fear of further inquiries, quickly changed the subject.
He couldn’t dare say that Peyenne Jones was still lying in bed, unconscious.
It’s been several months already.
Lincoln Lamar’s departure from the entertainment industry was also about this issue, as he personally flew to Swatzerland, giving up his thriving career.
There are many things in the world that are hard to explain or comprehend.
Just like his feelings for Jasmine Yale—love at first sight, and captivated the second time.
He never knew yearning could be so appealing.
They sat in the restaurant, chatting and dining.
Having not seen each other for quite some time, Joe Heath had a lot to say to Jasmine Yale.
The entire time, he was continuously talking to Jasmine, who seemed to be enjoying the conversation as well.
Eating and chatting, before they knew it, an hour had already passed.
“CEO Heath, I have to get back to work. I’ll see you some other time?”
“Okay, see you then.” Joe Heath stood up, “Can I walk you out?”
“No need, our company has a lot of people. What if they find out you’re the CEO of Star Sharp and crowd around me for autographs?”
“You sure know how to make excuses.” Joe Heath didn’t push her either, “You go ahead, I’ll ask you out another day.”
“Bye!”
Jasmine swung her small handbag and said goodbye to him.
Joe Heath waved back, bidding her farewell.
His smile was especially captivating – eyes slightly squinting, corners of mouth lifted, his smile was clean and bright.
Jasmine was humming a tune as she walked upstairs.
After chatting with Joe Heath for so long, she didn’t expect to be so happy.
It’s been so long since she last saw him. So long.
If only Peyenne could return too. She has been yearning to share her thoughts with someone.
Whenever she was with Peyenne, she was always happy.
The new year was approaching fast, and she hoped to spend it with Peyenne.
These past three years, only their first year was spent alone in school.
In the following two years, Peyenne took her home once and stayed with her in school another time.
This year, she wanted to be with Peyenne Jones again.
Walking up the stairs, Jasmine looked back through the transparent window—
