Snare of Love
Chapter 519 Playing With Them By Going Missing

At this moment, Todd regretted a little, not knowing whether it was going to cause trouble for Boyce. He looked at Jasmine helplessly and could only pray for the situation to not get too serious. "You go in." Todd stood aside, giving up his place.

Jasmine glanced at Todd, then plucked up her courage and opened the door. The dark office chair was sharp and neat, looking particularly solemn.

As soon as Boyce saw Jasmine his brows wrinkled. It was unexpected for her to appear here.

He said seriously in a low voice, "There is nothing you can do here, leave."

Jasmine stood by the door, her hands clasped in front of her. She felt nervous and even terrified while facing a person like Officer Miller, but she did not back down, "This matter started because of me. I felt like it was necessary for me to come to your officer to explain things clearly."

"Heh!" Miller laughed, "Okay. Since Boyce doesn't want to say it, you tell me. How did this happen?"

"This matter has nothing to do with Boyce." Jasmine looked up at Miller, "It was all my initiative."

Miller laughed candidly again. He found her very amusing. He sat on the chair and looked at Jasmine leisurely, "In the photo, both of you were hugging together, how come it has nothing to do with him? What is his identity? Do you know how huge is the impact of other people's conjecture?"

Jasmine was lost for words for a while. She had no way to explain the photo, and it did have an impact.

She clasped her hands together and clenched them into fists, "Whether you believe it or not, it is my fault. It really has nothing to do with Boyce, please don't punish him."

Miller looked at Boyce and then at Jasmine. He couldn't help but replace it funny and his serious face suddenly became amiable.

He knew Boyce's personality, and had felt that there must have been a misunderstanding when he saw the news. Taking Boyce's personality into account, he felt like he couldn't do such a thing.

It was just that, he was a government official. This kind of news was bound to have a negative impact on the image of government officials in society and make people think that they were abusing their power and acting recklessly.

Jasmine couldn't see the thought process of Miller. Thinking he was still going to punish Boyce, she asked in a determined tone, "I am an adult, even if I am young. Boyce is also unmarried. Can't we date? Is it illegal to date?"

Boyce looked at Jasmine in astonishment, "Umm, Jasmine, I...”

"I just don't understand. It wasn't even your fault. And I have already explained why I clung to you and did not let go. At that time your guard was down and I took the initiative. But I don't understand why no one believes me. I just don't want you to be implicated because of me, that is all. But I feel like even if I had a hundred mouths, I still wouldn't be able to explain clearly." Jasmine's eyes were red, "I just don't want you to be affected because of me."

Miller pressed between his eyebrows with his fingers, "Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a very stubborn little girl."

At this time, the office door was pushed open again. A man in uniform walked up to Miller and whispered to him.

Hearing what the person told him, Miller's complexion changed again and again until finally his face became calm. Then he said faintly, "I see."

The man left after speaking. Miller turned on his computer and searched for news about Boyce. There were no results and there was no photo.

Instead, what was shocking was that the person who had released the photo had come out with a confession in which he admitted his wrongdoing. He claimed that he had forged the photo and had deliberately tried to discredit her because he held a grudge against her. The following were all words admitting his mistake and the impact that it had on the society. He apologized for the trouble caused to the numerous government officials who served the people and that he hoped to be forgiven.

Armand had gone to the school and had quickly found the person who had released the photo, who was originally from the same school. It was very easy to ask him to write a statement. After all, the school also wanted to resolve the matter quickly. Armand was a lawyer who knew how to write a statement in favor of Boyce and Jasmine. As long as the matter could be resolved, it didn't matter what the truth was and what the false was. In addition, the public relations department and the major media outlets had agreed to revoke all previous news about Boyce and Jasmine, and those keywords of the news could not be found even on Weibo.

Now that the news was suppressed and the apology had almost been resolved, everyone was going to forget it in a few days.

As long as it was not copied, it was bound to fade out from everyone's sight and would be quickly forgotten. Now that the internet was flourishing, all kinds of news were constantly flowing, and once there were no new updates on any news the people lost interest and focus their attention towards other news.

Boyce also didn't know what Miller meant. Why was he giving him the cold-shoulder and ignoring him?

'Just say what is my punishment.'

"Officer Miller, I was careless this time. I guarantee there will be no such thing in the future. Umm, can you let her leave first?" This was obviously not something that could be solved by explanation and it was useless for Jasmine to say it again.

If the matter was not resolved, he had to be punished.

Miller didn't care how it happened but rather how to resolve it.

Hearing Boyce's voice, Miller looked up at him calmly, pretending to be serious, "She is the person involved, how can she go? Where can such a clever and eloquent girl can be found?"

Boyce still wanted to explain, but Miller said something first, "She is right. Both man and woman are unmarried, why can't they date? However, you have to behave yourself a little bit in public because of your identity. Your job is to serve the public, it is even more important to take your responsibility by example."

"Yes, I understand." Boyce complied obediently.

"Go back, write a report and give it back to me by tomorrow. You must recognize your mistakes and discuss in detail where you are wrong."

"Yes."

"Okay. Go back." As if he had forgotten something, Miller called him again, "It doesn't matter if you are dating or not. You are not so young any more. Looking at you, I worry a lot."

While saying this, he glanced at Jasmine but as a freshman in university, he found her too young. Then he said, "In the future, keep a low profile. If you made trouble for me again, I will make you lose that uniform."

"Yes, I promise I won't." Boyce asked unctuously, "Officer Miller, would you like some tea?"

"Get lost!" The teacup had been smashed, what tea could he drink.

Boyce smiled, "Then I will leave." After saying that he pulled Jasmine along by her hand and walked out quickly afraid that if he stalled anymore Officer Miller might change his mind. Seeing Boyce's quick foot-steps, Miller laughed and called for someone to come in and clean the floor.

Jasmine, who was dragged out, was still a little confused. She felt like things had developed too fast and she hadn't had enough time to react, "Is this not going to be investigated anymore?" Boyce took the time to hum in response and Jasmine was overjoyed. 'Great!'

But then she thought about it again, "Why is it not being investigated?"

"Must have been resolved already." Boyce thought about it now that the man who came in just now must have talked about this matter with Officer Miller.

The only ones who could have helped him resolve this matter were Matthew and Armand. Sure enough, he saw Armand standing at the door waiting for him when he walked out the door. "Your treat today." Armand glanced at Boyce pulling Jasmine along by her hand.

The corner of his mouth raised in a teasing smile, "Would you guys restrain yourselves and wait for things to settle down before publicly showing affection?"

Only then did Boyce realized that he was still holding Jasmine's hand and suddenly released it as if he had touched a bomb.

Jasmine glanced at him and then lowered her head in silence.

Boyce later realized that his hand movement was a bit too exaggerated and coughed lightly to cover up his momentarily embarrassment.

Armand let out an audible groan and helped them open the car door, "Come on, get in."

He waited until they got into the car and started the engine before saying, "It was a busy day. Call Matthew, let's have a meal together."

"Okay, I will treat." Boyce was sitting in the passenger seat and deliberately did not sit with Jasmine. He had always thought she was very young and didn't have such feelings for her at all. Even if his first kiss was stolen by this little girl.

Armand thought to himself, it was hard to make Boyce understand what was going on. But he was well aware of what Jasmine was thinking, after all, young people could not hide their feelings well. However, looking at Boyce's reserved manner, it really made him worried.

He sighed again in his heart, "Call Matthew."

Armand drove the car and Boyce took out his cellphone, dialed his number. However, the voice that came from the other side informed him that the number he dialed was powered off. He dialed again and still got the same message.

He wasn't at the villa, or at the company and even Abbott was also not there.

Armand and Boyce were a little stumped. He had never turned off his phone, how could he turn it off so suddenly? The main thing was, he wasn't at the villa or at the company. Since Dolores left, the place he had stayed the longest had been the company but he wasn't there as well. Where did he go?

As such a mature age, was he still playing with them by going missing?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
