My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

Jasmine came and went freely at the FX International Group with attentive looks upon each visit. This time she drew much notice from all corners, as she wore a white smock, draped beautifully from her shoulders, and hot pants, which showed off more than they concealed. Her long silky hair was parted and plaited into two thick braids, which looked a bit tousled yet attractive. Her delicate oval face with big bright eyes added to her youthful appearance, and hinted at a lovable and approachable nature.

"Justin, who\'s that beautiful lady out there? Is she your new secretary?" She asked as she walked into the CEO\'s office. With an easy spring, she jumped up quite unceremoniously to sit on her brother\'s desk.

"Yes, she is. Anna applied for her early retirement, so I had to appoint a new secretary. But what are you doing here?" Justin asked as he briefly raised his head from the files which he was reading over. He frowned at her revealing outfit, but lacked the heart to criticize her for it.

"I heard that Eden is returning from abroad today. Is it true?" Jasmine asked curiously as she absently played with her braids.

"Great! Why don\'t we invite Richard to go along with us?" Jasmine suggested happily. She and Richard got along well, perhaps due to their similar ages. Aside from that, his taste in clothing was always fashion-forward - which might be influenced by his mother, Leena - and he always looked cool.

"He\'s probably still in school now. I wonder if he can go with us," Justin said. Richard was attending a military school, and the strict discipline there offered him little freedom to socialize with friends.

"I\'ll call him to find out," Jasmine said. Taking out her phone, she started dialing his number.

"Okay! I\'ll hand some work over to my new secretary while you talk," Justin replied with a soft smile before leaving the office.

After issuing his instructions, he turned around and was confronted by a downcast Jasmine coming out of the office.

"What happened? Can\'t he make it?" Justin asked. He felt sorry when he saw his sister in low spirits. Every time Jasmine was down, he would feel terrible as well.
