Chapter 489
“Hi, Yvonne!” the arrogance on Harvey was gone and he sat while kicking his leg up, shaking it. He smiled and greeted me, then casually started to eat the snacks I had previously left in the car.
“Yvonne?” I blinked. I had the impression that I got into the wrong car until I looked at Christopher and saw him smiling gleefully. “You two know each other?” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Christopher helped me with my seat belts and handed me a glass of water as he said with a smile, “Of course. Harvey is Zachary’s cousin!”
“Oh!” I stuck my tongue out and made a face at Harvey. This guy ridiculed me at the party even though he knew Christopher? How despicable!
“Don’t look at me like that or Christopher will get jealous and hit me! I’m sorry for the mean things I said to you at the party. Please don’t take it to heart, okay?”
As Harvey had taken the initiative to apologize for his actions at the party, I decided to let him off the hook. After all, he was Christopher’s friend, and I believed in his judgment of people.
“I won’t. In fact, I should be thanking you instead! Everyone was able to accept me into that circle because of your help,” I replied with a gentle smile. Honestly, that was the fastest way to get into the circle.
“You really are an understanding person. Unlike some people who beat me up even after I helped!” Harvey waved his fist at Christopher as he continued, “Hey, Christopher! I’ve taken care of the job you
told me about, so you better keep your promise and introduce me to some good woman! It’s best if you can find me someone as understanding as Yvonne!”
“Okay, I’ll introduce you to the hot girls on my team when I get back. I know you’ve been drooling over them for a long time now, but don’t get your hopes up! They might just reject you before you even make a move on them!” Christopher teased him.
“Job?” Thanks to the recent improvement of my intelligence, I quickly caught on to their words and pointed at Harvey as I asked, “Chris, Harvey, was what happened at the party your doing?”
“Why don’t you take a guess?” Christopher refused to tell me and flashed me a mysterious smile.
He didn’t have to say anything since the look on his face suggested that I was probably right. That left me feeling a little discouraged. Whatever pride I had up to that point in time seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and I asked in displeasure, “And here I thought I won because of my hard work… Turns out it was just you going easy on me and losing on purpose…”
Harvey’s expression became serious instantly, and he said with a stern voice, “Yvonne, you’re underestimating yourself. I never went easy on you.”
Seeing the look of disbelief on my face, Harvey rubbed his nose and continued reluctantly, “I was planning to go easy on you at first. However, I knew I shouldn’t underestimate you the moment I saw how you were holding the brush. Christopher sure is mean, putting me against a skillful opponent like you. I can’t believe I was stupid enough to taunt you, only to lose both my pride and the match in the end. Yvonne, you’d better get me a decent wife in return!”
Looking at Harvey’s gloomy expression and droopy head, I chuckled and patted my chest confidently as I said, “Don’t worry! Just leave that to me! I promise that I’ll make your dream come true!”
A few days later, Christopher and I boarded the plane to Anglandur. As the Ansley Art Exhibition was being held in a bustling area of Norham, there was someone to receive us the moment we stepped out of the car.
I couldn’t restrain the excitement in my heart and felt like I was dreaming. Noticing how nervous I looked, Christopher gave me a gentle pinch on the nose and said with a smile, “Why do you look so worried? You should go in there looking all proud and arrogant as you mop them all up!”
