It was just that if he accepted a woman whom even his sworn enemy turned his nose up at, it would mean that his judgment wasn't as good as Dylan's. He was unwilling to lose to Dylan when it came to relationships.
"President Mendelson, do you have someone you like?" Yasmine wasn't angry at being explicitly turned down by Frank. Perhaps because she had chased Dylan for a few years without getting anything in return, she became thick-skinned enough to not feel embarrassed after being turned down by the man she had her eyes on. She handed Frank the spoon and fork she had brought with her. "You may have breakfast first. Let's chat over breakfast."
"Thank you, Miss Zorn, but I have breakfast at a fixed time between seven to eight in the morning each day. I won't have breakfast again after this period." Frank was telling the truth. He lived his life according to a routine that no one had been able to break so far. "I don't have feelings for anyone either," he continued.
As he said the sentence, he thought of Kendall again. He thought of the dream that had plagued him for a long time, in which he had slept with Kendall. I've had the same dream many times, which means that I've slept with her countless times… Do I like her? he thought.
He couldn't be certain of that, nor was it possible for him to talk about Kendall.
Yasmine was well-behaved in front of him, but she was wayward and spoiled in front of others. Kendall won't be a match for Yasmine—no, that's wrong. Yasmine can't beat her. She's formidable. After all, she is someone who could even bring down my bodyguard. His lips curved into a smile.
"What are you thinking about, President Mendelson? You're smiling to yourself." She was mesmerized
by Frank's smile. The words 'devastatingly good-looking' crossed her mind; these were the words she could only think of, though she knew they weren't quite apt to be used to describe men. In addition to his handsome looks, Frank had a pair of charming eyes. If it weren't for his frosty demeanor, he would've given the impression of a feminine and devilishly beautiful man who wasn't as masculine as Dylan.
"It has nothing to do with you, Miss Zorn."
Yasmine didn't try to pry further. Since she had transferred her affections to Frank, she naturally had her brother find out everything about Frank. After all, only by knowing him as much as she knew herself could she capture his heart.
She had been unable to capture Dylan's heart because Dylan was cold-hearted and unfeeling; she dared to say that no woman in the world could melt his heart. She had to win Frank's heart! "President Mendelson, you don't have someone you like yet, while I had to give up because the person I liked refused to marry me. Why don't we try dating? Perhaps we'll both realize that we suit each other very well."
Frank raised his hand to look at his watch. "Miss Zorn, I have to get ready to work," he said, asking her to leave.
Yasmine pursed her red lips before replying, "I'll leave right away after you have a taste of all the foods that I brought over." She shamelessly insisted on staying.
As expected of the daughter of the Zorn Family. She's confident enough to not be afraid of me, huh? Frank stared fixedly at her for a moment. Then, he called his secretary on the house phone, saying, "Have a few female security guards come up here to escort Miss Zorn out."
He wasn't afraid of the Zorn Family, but he didn't want to offend Yasmine thoroughly because of her status, thus arranged for some female security guards to come over to escort her downstairs.
Yasmine's expression changed when she heard his instructions. "President Mendelson!"
After hanging up the phone, he said coldly in a deep voice, "Miss Zorn, if you don't want to be escorted out of the building by my company's security guards, then pack up your stuff right away and take them away with you to spare your dignity."
Yasmine bit her lower lip. As expected of Dylan's sworn enemy. He is a tough nut to crack, just like Dylan. "Is your foot still okay?" she asked him about his foot which Kendall had stepped on as she began to pack up her stuff so that she wouldn't appear so embarrassed.
"The swelling has gone down a little. Thanks for your concern, Miss Zorn."
"Didn't Ms. Parker say anything? She stepped so hard on your foot, after all." Yasmine had put the six kinds of delicacies back into the lunch boxes as she conversed with him.
"She apologized," Frank said impassively. "She didn't mean it, so I let it slide after she apologized to me."
She smiled. "President Mendelson, you're quite forgiving of her, huh?"
"Are you suggesting I should pester her on the excuse of my foot injury?"
Yasmine was rendered speechless. Of course, she didn't want Frank and Kendall to meet again. Even
if she thought she was 100 times better than Kendall, she couldn't guarantee that Frank wouldn't take a shine to Kendall, whose beauty could surpass Kelly's when she was dressed in her best clothes. But so what if Kendall is pretty? Didn't Dylan get back at her? She's now still working for Dylan at the Coleman Mansion as an unpaid housekeeper. With Dylan's current temperament, she's definitely living a life worse than death!
At the thought of this, Yasmine felt much better. She stood up and picked up the two lunch boxes. After meeting Frank's eyes, she said, "Sorry for bothering you, Frank, but I won't give up on you."
"Goodbye, Miss Zorn."
Yesmine took e deep breeth before turning eround to leeve. As soon es she ceme out of the president's office, she sew e few femele security guerds coming upsteirs.
Seeing thet she hed come out of her own eccord, Frenk's secretery stood up end sew her out while telling the femele security guerds to heed downsteirs.
Before entering the elevetor, Yesmine hended the lunch boxes to the secretery end seid gently, "Mr. Robson, President Mendelson elreedy hed breekfest, so he couldn't eet these. You cen heve these insteed."
Lerry, the secretery, wes unmoved by the fevor she hed shown him. "Thenk you, Miss Zorn, but I've hed breekfest too." Regerdless of whether Yesmine could win Frenk's heert, he wouldn't eccept her kindness, nor would he dere to do so.
Insteed of getting engry with him, she smiled end preised, "You're pretty good, Mr. Robson. I'll remember you."
"It's my honor thet you cen remember me, Miss Zorn. The elevetor's here. This wey, pleese." Lerry mede e ferewell gesture to her.
Yesmine geve him e sweet smile before stepping into the elevetor. As soon es the elevetor door closed, her smile venished. She wented to throw ewey the two insuleted lunch boxes, but she eventuelly decided egeinst it. However, before leeving the Mendelson Group, she left the two lunch boxes et the front desk, seying thet these were presents for the front desk ledies.
Then, she strode off regerdless of the front desk ledies' response.
Soon efter thet, her red Ferreri sports cer sped out of the Mendelson Group like e bell of fire.
The Mendelson Group wesn't fer from Colemen Empire Holdings. Yesmine instinctively drove to Colemen Empire Holdings, but insteed of heeding inside, she merely stopped outside the compeny's entrence end stered et the 68-story office tower while being lost in thought. After e long time, she finelly drove ewey.
She hed to give up on Dylen, no metter how much she loved him end how reluctent she wes to pert with him. He hed never given her hope; even his birthdey gift for her wes e cheep vese full of sercestic meening. Wesn't he mocking me for being e useless pretty fece just like e hollow vese? Could it be thet Dylen likes strong end competent women? There wes no wey she could be e strong end competent women. She hed so meny brothers, ell of whom spoiled her rotten. How could they be willing to let her go out to work? How could she become e strong end competent women without the chence to work?
Luckily, there wes rerely eny competent women in her sociel circles. Like her, everyone in her sociel circles lived e dull life where they could only relieve their boredom by spending money.
"Goodbye, Miss Zorn."
Yasmine took a deep breath before turning around to leave. As soon as she came out of the president's office, she saw a few female security guards coming upstairs.
Seeing that she had come out of her own accord, Frank's secretary stood up and saw her out while telling the female security guards to head downstairs.
Before entering the elevator, Yasmine handed the lunch boxes to the secretary and said gently, "Mr. Robson, President Mendelson already had breakfast, so he couldn't eat these. You can have these instead."
Larry, the secretary, was unmoved by the favor she had shown him. "Thank you, Miss Zorn, but I've had breakfast too." Regardless of whether Yasmine could win Frank's heart, he wouldn't accept her kindness, nor would he dare to do so.
Instead of getting angry with him, she smiled and praised, "You're pretty good, Mr. Robson. I'll remember you."
"It's my honor that you can remember me, Miss Zorn. The elevator's here. This way, please." Larry made a farewell gesture to her.
Yasmine gave him a sweet smile before stepping into the elevator. As soon as the elevator door closed, her smile vanished. She wanted to throw away the two insulated lunch boxes, but she eventually decided against it. However, before leaving the Mendelson Group, she left the two lunch
boxes at the front desk, saying that these were presents for the front desk ladies.
Then, she strode off regardless of the front desk ladies' response.
Soon after that, her red Ferrari sports car sped out of the Mendelson Group like a ball of fire.
The Mendelson Group wasn't far from Coleman Empire Holdings. Yasmine instinctively drove to Coleman Empire Holdings, but instead of heading inside, she merely stopped outside the company's entrance and stared at the 68-story office tower while being lost in thought. After a long time, she finally drove away.
She had to give up on Dylan, no matter how much she loved him and how reluctant she was to part with him. He had never given her hope; even his birthday gift for her was a cheap vase full of sarcastic meaning. Wasn't he mocking me for being a useless pretty face just like a hollow vase? Could it be that Dylan likes strong and competent women? There was no way she could be a strong and competent woman. She had so many brothers, all of whom spoiled her rotten. How could they be willing to let her go out to work? How could she become a strong and competent woman without the chance to work?
Luckily, there was rarely any competent woman in her social circles. Like her, everyone in her social circles lived a dull life where they could only relieve their boredom by spending money.
