Chapter 186 Tea and Trouble
She’d never seen this man in Rivermount <b>before</b>. <b>Clearly</b>, he wasn’t anyone important.
Ande on, what kind of guy could Ste possiblynd? No man with real power would ever look at her twice.
Jasmine <b>was </b>sure Ste had dumped an elephant to chase a mosquito.
Abraham’s gaze narrowed slightly. When Eddie saw who was fighting with Ste, his face dropped.
Jasmine only just noticed Eddie <b>was </b>there.
Her fury flipped <b>into </b>a full performance. Her eyes went red. “Eddie, what took you so long?”
Ste was speechless.
Abraham was speechless.
The moment she called out Eddie’s name, both of them turned their attention to him.
When Eddie saw it was Jasmine, his face immediately darkened. “What the hell is going on?”
Jasmine pouted pitifully. “They bullied me.
Ste was speechless.
No wonder she’s besties with Lillian–they both deserve Oscars.
“You <b>have </b>to help me,” Jasmine said as she stepped forward, reaching for Eddie’s hand.
<b>Eddie </b>dodged it without hesitation. Thest <b>thing </b>he wanted was her grabbing onto him.
Jasmine looked hurt when he pulled <b>away</b>. “You”
“What do you mean ‘you? I saw everything just now.”
This is who they matched me with? Eddie thought, full–blown drama queen?
They’d only met once for coffee–his impression of her was already lukewarm<b>. </b>
She had walked right into Ste and then tried to p her. Eddie had seen it all
This woman was nothing but trouble,
He walked <b>over </b>
Ste, who was still in Abraham’s arms. “You okay?”
<b>Ste </b>shook her head. “I’m fine”
<b>Abraham </b>narrowed his <b>eyes </b>and <b>gave </b><b>Jasmine </b>a cold <b>look</b>. “You might want to get your eyes checked.”
Then he <b>turned </b>and led <b>Ste </b>away without another word.
Edhe heard that <b>and </b>winced. Was that aimed <b>at </b>me!
“Hey, that <b>wasn’t </b>my call?”
All he did was go on a blind date. Who could tell what kind of person someone really is from just one meeting?
He burned after Abraham, but <b>Jasmine </b>grabbed <b>his </b>arm. “Eddie.”
Finished

Chapter 186 Tea and Trouble
“What, you gonna use her of seducing me? Of ruining whatever we had going <b>on</b><b>?</b>”
She froze.
“You women—do you all run on one–track minds or something?”
Every time you see a man <b>and </b>a <b>woman</b>, you just assume there’s something going <b>on</b>?
Finished
“<b>That’s </b>enough. Don’t contact me again.”
He shook her off coldly and walked after Abraham and Ste.
Jasmine hadn’t even gotten a <b>chance </b>to exin. She was left standing there, stunned.
Don’t contact me again?
Her mind went <b>nk</b>.
They’d only met once, but she’d actually started liking Eddie. He was good–looking, aplished in medicine-
<b>And </b>most importantly, he <b>was </b>the heart specialist Lillian needed most right now.
She had been nning to spend more time with him, slowly convince him to join Lillian’s treatment team.
Especially with how Lillian’s <b>team </b><b>had </b>been changing constantlytely. Jasmine was genuinely worried for her friend.
<b>But </b>now….
“Ste!”
Jasmine hissed through clenched teeth. This is all her fault. If it weren’t for Ste, she wouldn’t have burned through her chances with Eddie <b>this </b>fast.
Back at the hot springs-
Sie <b>and </b><b>Abraham </b>were already <b>soaking </b>in the pool when Eddie arrived. Just as he was about to get in, Abraham cut him off coldly.
“Don’t”
Eddie froze. “What?”
It was freezing up here–<b>he </b>wanted to warm up too.
Abraham shot him a look.
Eddie rubbed his cold hands. “Come on. You already shoved her, made your <b>point</b>. I barely know her, don’t me me.”
That push had actually been pretty restrained, by Abraham’s standards.
But Eddie knew full well–Abraham wasn’t done. Anyone who crossed Ste wasn’t getting off that <b>easy</b><b>. </b>
Still, this really had nothing to do with him.
Abraham asked, “Didn’t youe here with her?”
