Suddenly Harriet felt hopeful when she heard a clear male voice, “Harriet!”
Looking around, Keith was looking at Harriet with delight.
If others saw Wesley who was present unhappily at the moment, they would leave after greeting. But Keith was like a child, and went to talk with Harriet.
“Harriet, I am glad to see you again.” Then, he turned to look at Wesley, “Mr. Smith, are you talking business?”
Harriet felt embarrassed.
“We...”
She wanted to find a legitimate excuse, but was interrupted by Wesley, “It’s none of your business.”
Wesley did not hesitate to say that.
However, without leaving, Keith said eloquently, “Mr. Smith, Harriet is my friend, I just care about her.”
Harriet immediately got up and said, “Keith, I have something to talk about with Mr. Smith, and I’ll talk to you another day.”
Of course, Keith understood that Harriet wanted him to leave. Then he said with grievance, “Well... Harriet, you can come to me if you have any trouble.”
Then, he whispered, “If he bullies you, you can come to tell me.”
Harriet took him for a child. Then she turned to look at Wesley and found that Wesley became more seriously than before. But she felt sorry that she failed to persuade him because of Keith.
“Mr. Smith, Keith is just a minor. So just forgive him.”
Wesley’s deep eyes showed a hint of irony, “How can you make sex with a minor?”
Harriet turned slightly pale, “Wesley, what do you mean by that?”
Wesley stood up, tucking her tiny chin in a warning voice, “Harriet, I give you free, but you are not allowed to make sex with others.”
“I didn’t.” Harriet calmly replied, “I just make friends with him because of filming, and that’s all. I hope you won’t make assumptions just because we have met several times.”
Then Wesley let go of her and walked out of the restaurant without looking back.
Harriet followed obediently, except that one hand caught her just as she was about to walk out the door.
“Harriet, is Mr. Smith bullying you? I find that both of you look unhappy.” Keith said. He did not leave immediately, but stayed for a while out of fear.
Harriet immediately withdrew her hand and said with a serious face, “Keith, this is my private affair. Please don’t ask too much about it.”
Perhaps it was the first time that Harriet became angry with him. Then Keith’s eyes were a little hazy, as if he had suffered a great grievance, “Harriet, I just worry about you...I’m sorry, do you hate me? It’s my meddling that has made you unhappy.”
Looking at Keith, Harriet felt sorry, so she turned to be at ease.
“I do not blame you. But there should be limits between friends. As friends, sometimes it is better not to be over enthusiastic, or it may cause unnecessary trouble to others, get it?”
“Yeah, I get it.” Keith nodded.
Looking at Harriet’s leaving figure, Keith became unsatisfied. He clenched his fists until the black car disappeared into the traffic. Then he said, “Uncle Nick, what is the relationship between Harriet and Mr. Smith?”
In the corner, Uncle Nick came forward with a frown on his face, “It seems that they are good friends, or they are...”
In fact, they were liked lovers.
If Harriet and Wesley were just talking about work, no one would believe that. What business did a CEO have with an uncool starlet?
