Chapter 5 Playing Hard to Get

• Noah stood in front of Jasmine, his fair and handsome face displaying a hint of anger.
• He had noticed someone following Jasmine to the restroom, so he decided to follow suit. When he saw that man's hand resting on Jasmine's shoulder, he had an immediate urge to remove that arm.
• The sleazy man grimaced in pain and muttered under his breath, "Who are you? How dare you hit me! Do you even know who I am? I'm ... Mr. Caldwell?!"
• As soon as he got a clear look at the person in front of him, he instantly sobered up.
• Noah was not an ordinary individual. The Caldwells held an unshakable position in Autumnvale, with influence in both the legal and illegal domains.
• As the next in line to lead the Caldwells, Noah was exceptionally talented. At a young age, he had already assumed the role of general manager of the Caldwell Group. He was ruthless and experienced, and he had secretly dealt with many forces that had conflicts with the Caldwells.
• "Mr. Caldwell, I'm sorry if I offended you. Please forgive me and let me go ... " the man pleaded.
• "Leave," Noah spat.
• The man hurriedly retreated, clearly frightened.
• Once Noah regained his composure, he met Jasmine's sparkling eyes.
• "Thank you for saving me, handsome. What's your name? Can I have your contact information? I'll buy you a meal another day ... "
• Without uttering a word, Noah pulled Jasmine into a nearby lounge and hung a sign that said 'Occupied'.
• "Hey, what are you doing?" Jasmine looked confused.
• Inside the lounge, Noah leaned against the wall, trapping Jasmine in his embrace. The two were extremely close, and Jasmine could even catch a faint scent of cologne emanating from him.
• Noah lowered his head, his gaze fixed on the exposed, fair skin on her chest. He asked while gritting his teeth, "Did your new sugar daddy ask you to dress like this outside? Jasmine, do you have no shame?"
• Jasmine was taken aback. "What new sugar daddy? What are you talking about? I don't know you. Let go of me. I'm leaving!"
• Noah smirked, "So this is your new tactic, pretending not to know me and playing hard to get?"
• Frowning, Jasmine replied in an annoyed tone, "You're quite self-absorbed, aren't you? You're handsome, but you're insane! Step aside!"
• She reached out to push Noah's chest, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him. Without saying a word, Noah kissed her, leaving Jasmine wide-eyed in surprise.
• "Ugh, what ... "
• Noah kissed her passionately and urgently. With his large hand gripping the back of her head, he deepened the kiss.
• Although Jasmine was taken aback, she didn't resist his touch.
• It felt as if they had done this many times before.
• She was even somewhat addicted to the man's touch.
• Realising that the man was gradually pushing her onto the bed, a warning bell rang in Jasmine's mind, and she bent her knees against Noah's legs.
• Noah was prepared and swiftly dodged, then restrained her hands and pinned her down.
• Jasmine realised that this man's skills were not inferior to hers.
• Noah was somewhat surprised.
• After being together for five years, he didn't expect Jasmine to possess such impressive skills.
• This young girl actually has secrets I don't know about.
• He pressed closer, intoxicated by the familiar, sweet scent.
• Almost involuntarily, he kissed Jasmine's fair neck.
• "Behave, Jasmine."
• Jasmine's heart trembled, her body becoming as soft as jelly.
• At that moment, a knocking sound came from outside the door, and Rhonda's voice could be heard.
• "Noah, are you in there? Noah!"
• Jasmine jolted and instantly sobered up. She glared fiercely at the man in front of her and angrily asked, "You're Noah?"
• While still kissing, Noah mumbled unclearly, "Oh, you're done pretending you don't remember who I am now?"
• "Go to hell, scumbag!"
• ...
