Chapter 20

At Mousse's Residence...

Yasmine had finished packing Cécilia's things into a suitcase, and, satisfied with her work, she settled into the living room while waiting for Mousse to finish getting ready in his room. Her mind wandered as she glanced critically around her, admiring the refined taste of the decor.

She thought to herself: "I really wonder what Cécilia sees in that good-for-nothing Cédric. He has no job, no future. How could she cheat on Mousse, a man who gives her everything, with him? She even lost that beautiful car Mousse had given her... And me, with Carlos? What do I gain, apart from endless sex morning and night? He brings me nothing. I seriously need to consider getting closer to Mousse. He has everything I desire in a man: stability, charm, success. If only I had seen things sooner... Oh God, please let Mousse notice me..."

She was lost in her thoughts when Mousse finally appeared in the living room, ready to leave.
