Rebirth: Revenge of the abandoned heirress-Chapter 79: Handsome date
Chapter 79 - Handsome date
When Jazmine Harrison opened the door, for a moment, she forgot everything.
In front of her stood an incredibly handsome man. His eyes shone like dark gems. His features were clear and chiseled. He was tall, almost a head taller than Jazmine. In the fitting custom-made tuxedo, he looked unreasonably hot.
He was already ridiculously attractive, to begin with, but within that suit, his allure went to an entirely different level. Jazmine was so lost staring at him that she didn't even notice him placing fresh roses in her hands.
"Um..." Jazmine didn't know what to say. She had planned to make him feel inferior with her looks, but it seemed like the situation had inverted. She was the one feeling inferior in front of him.
"You look beautiful," Sebastian Crowne said smoothly.
And, uncontrollably, Jazmine blushed.
It was not her fault, alright? Who wouldn't blush being called beautiful by such a hot piece of meat?
"Come in. Let me place the roses in a vase." Jazmine said the first thing that came to her mind. For some reason, her mind had gone blank in front of him. She was no longer the calm, collected woman she prided herself on being.
Facing away from him while putting the roses in a vase, she gritted her teeth and took a few deep breaths to bring herself under control. Finally, when her heart slowed down, with a calm smile, she turned to face him.
"I agreed to dinner with you. I think it should make up for you saving me. After today, we'll be even."
Sebastian remained standing at the door. He didn't come in.
"Say that after tonight."
Jazmine followed him to the elevator.
If Jazmine was infatuated by his looks, the same was also true for Sebastian. He had noticed how prettily she was dressed. When he said she looked 'beautiful,' he meant it. And to think that she had prepared so eagerly for a dinner with him—his heart felt a strange happiness.
Was she trying to impress him?
Did that mean she was attracted to him?
While Sebastian's head was filled with thoughts full of hearts, Jazmine was making evil schemes in her mind.
When Sebastian guided her to a private garage, Jazmine paused for a moment.
She had already failed once.
"Don't tell me he's got a better car than me. How am I supposed to act like I'm looking down on him and bring my new custom-made car to show off and make him feel inferior? All of Emily Carrol's efforts will go to waste."
Jazmine had planned to laugh at his car, tell him she wasn't going to ride in that lowly vehicle, and then bring in her car to show off.
Feeling a little lost, Jazmine walked with him, and what awaited her made her head numb.
This model...
"Is that the logo from that... from that Japanese company?" She had been browsing through the famous brands before ordering a car from a well-known manufacturer. So it was only natural that she recognized the company.
"My date is knowledgeable," Sebastian praised her. It seemed like his brother's method was working. His Jazmine looked impressed. If the date went well, he would give his brother a huge gift.
Unbeknownst to Sebastian, Jazmine was not impressed—she just felt like crying. Wah! She had failed again!
No worries, there would be more chances in the future. Yes!
"I'm not your date. I only agreed to dinner. This is no date." Jazmine said somewhat grumpily.
"Is that why you've dolled up so prettily?"
Jazmine didn't know how to counter that, so she chose to remain silent and climbed into the vehicle with Sebastian at the back. The dressed driver sped off.
"Where are you taking me?"
"That's a surprise."
Jazmine sighed and looked outside at the city.
Hong Kong looked so beautiful at night. The skyscrapers lifted it to the height of the sky.
Jazmine frowned.
It reminded her of something.
She had a strange feeling that she had been here before.
"I've never been here. I'm sure of that."
Then why was there such a strange emotion bubbling in her heart?
Jazmine was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't snap out of them until the car pulled into a spacious garage and the bustling city vanished out of sight.
"We're here," Sebastian said, and like a perfect gentleman, he got out, graciously strode to Jazmine's side, and extended his hand for her to climb out.
It would be a lie if Jazmine said she wasn't impressed by the smoothness of his actions. With a smile, she took his hand and climbed out.
But that was just the start of her surprises.
Just as they entered the hotel, a team of management staff and chefs came forward to welcome them. Jazmine was left somewhat flabbergasted.
"Let me guide you to our most famed dining room. The room offers a vibrant view of the whole of Hong Kong. Many foreigners wait for months just to book it. The room has a great history ever since the existence of the Royal Continental restaurant. Even the past President once dined there." The manager continued his introduction in a professional tone.
All the while, Jazmine was in deep contemplation.

She glanced at Sebastian from the corner of her eyes.
It seemed like I've greatly underestimated you, crazy doctor.
I was doubtful at first, but now I'm sure—you're not a doctor.
To be able to receive such a reception in a five-star restaurant, he really wasn't a small character.
Jazmine was getting more and more convinced that he had some relation to the revered Crowne family.
Maybe it was him who convinced President Crowne to help her in the first place.
The manager opened the door, and the huge curtains on the other side parted.
A breathtaking view entered their eyes.
"Please choose the dishes. They will arrive in no time. May you enjoy your evening, President Crowne." After a bow, the manager left.
Jazmine unconsciously walked toward the glass panes.
She had always loved these sights—to be at a place where she could look at the whole city below her.
Her hands touched the glass.
"I've noticed that you like to look at the city from the terrace. So I specially chose this place for you."
Sebastian was nervous that his Jazmine might not like it, so he explained, hoping to get a response from her.
If she didn't like it, his brother was finished.
