Harriet didn’t expect that she not only had the idea of expressing her love at such a moment, but also didn’t hesitate to do it.
The moment she saw Wesley appear on the terrace and learned the truth that her brother was protected by him, she understood that she shouldn’t miss the chance.
"Okay."
After a long silence, she only heard his an unstated response.
Harriet was confused, what did "okay" mean? Was it an acceptance or a rejection?
"Well, Mr. Smith, what do you mean?"
After asking, Harriet was hesitant. After all, she didn’t want to lose face completely. She expressed her love bravely but Wesley had no response, which clearly meant the answer was no. Why she asked it again and embarrassed herself?
Hearing her question, Wesley gave an explanation, "I know."
"Okay, if this is what you mean, then I understand." Harriet was disappointed, but she wasn't too surprised.
‘I know’ was equal to ‘I don't like you’. It was the most typical way to reject a suitor and the same plot appeared in the tragic television series acted by Harriet more than once.
It was also a polite and gentle answer. If others knew it, they would definitely scold her for chasing the one who she didn’t deserve.
Wesley’s black eyes had always gazed at Harriet.
‘Like him’ meant that she wanted to become Mrs. Smith, or simply because he saved Colin, her impression of him changed instantly?
If it was the former one, then she really had a lot of Jonests.
Not everyone was able to be his wife, even a high-status person like Louisa Jones was not up to his standard. If Louisa became his wife, it was only because the deep friendship between his and her families. But Harriet?
Judging from the standards of the circle of celebrities, except the face and fiJonesre, she was not qualified as his wife in terms of her origin, education, connotation and virtue.
But he could consider it.
"You..."
Wesley's words were interrupted by the sudden ring of his cell phone. Harriet stepped aside. Wesley went back to the company after hanging up the phone, while Jack was asked to stay here and help Harriet deal with the thing in the hospital together.
"Well, why it’s so hard to communicate with your president ?"
When checking in, Harriet wanted to get some information from Jack, and complained.
Jack answered in a serious manner, "The president just doesn't like to talk nonsense."
Harriet retorted, “The more nonsense you talk, the happier you will be. It seems Mr. Smith isn’t that happy every day. Is it because Louisa doesn’t like him, he feels upset?”
Jack answered without thinking, "The president does not like Ms Jones."
After a pause, he continued, "Miss Clark, Mr. Smith attaches importance to you, otherwise he wouldn't choose not to tell you Mr. Clark's situation. At that time when we found Mr. Clark, he was already seriously injured and in a brain coma, even the doctor could not Jonesarantee that he would survive, that's why the president did not tell you at first."
Harriet's palms clenched into fists, frowning.
Colin never offended anyone, except the Jones Family, no one wanted him dead!
"It seems that I have misunderstood Mr. Smith, I didn't expect that he was a good person." Harriet joked with a smile.
"It's not the first time you misunderstood Mr. Smith. Miss Clark, excuse me for being blunt, Mr. Smith doesn’t owe you anything."
Reminded by Jack, Harriet suddenly realized that Wesley did not need to deal with her and Colin secretly. If he did not want them to have a good time, he would have done it blatantly, there was no need to take advantage of the media to smear them. This was not his usual style.
