Darling, Don't Get Rid of Me novel Chapter 93

Aya stopped running her mouth as the man's gaze was piercing cold, she was frightened.

"This is the Smith family's personal issue, you as an outsider should stay out."

What Wesley said was not only a warning towards Aya but also towards the busybody people standing around watching the fun.

A few were already watching the scene when Harriet got splashed on, but since the upstairs section was only for VIPs, the people downstairs weren't just going to waltz upstairs without an invitation. The people watching weren't even thinking to go upstairs anymore now that Wesley was there.

Though not being upstairs didn't mean that they didn't know what was going on.

If the incident today were to spread out, it would be the talk of the town. Nothing would happen to Wesley, but Harriet would be in big trouble.

Wesley's cold response stunned Aya, the cat got her tongue. All of a sudden, the man asked her a question back, "What's your name?"

Aya was astonished, she immediately told him her name.

Harriet was getting nervous, she hoped that the silly girl wasn't thinking that Wesley took an interest towards her.

But it was exactly what she thought, Aya really was anticipating something as she blushed and answered, "Mr. Smith, I'm also an artist under the Pleasure Media brand…"

She was then cut off without even finishing her sentence.

"I see, well not anymore."

Aya's eyes were wide open, she couldn't believe her ears.

Harriet glanced at her sympathetically, this woman didn't understand that Wesley was asking for her name just to put it on the circle's blacklist, destroying her career.

Everybody wore weird expressions and was trying to comprehend what just happened. But amidst this Wesley walked up and pulled Harriet with him, and left the event hall without even looking back.

"Wesley!" Lisa chased after him with a complicated look on her face, "Are you angry? Why are you angry?"

Wesley scowled at her dispassionately, "I like clever women, but not someone that thinks themself as clever."

Wesley knew that the stuff Lisa said on purpose just now was to put Harriet in a bad light, he just didn't say anything about it.

Lisa was just as shocked as Aya, she always thought that Wesley was never serious about Harriet and that it was just a fling. But looking at the situation today, it seemed like there was more than met the eyes.

"Wesley, you care about this woman way too much," Lisa tried to act unruffled and continued advising him, "Think about Louisa, how will she feel if she found out about it?"

Wesley was expressionless, "How she feels is none of my business."

Lisa was bewildered, it was no secret in the circle that Wesley doted on Louisa a lot, when did such a dramatic change of attitude happen?

Harriet was forced into the car early on with a towel on her head, she couldn't care less to eavesdrop on their conversation and was focusing on drying her hair.

Wesley took the towel from her the moment he got in the car and helped her wipe away the alcohol stain.

"Wesley, are you possessed?" Harriet was puzzled by his actions.

It wasn't her fault that she was so confused, as Wesley was really acting strangely, his attitude towards her was making her feel loved.

Wesley didn't answer her question but explained himself instead, "Today is Lisa's first contact with the local circle, I am just helping her out a bit."

Harriet was baffled, was that an explanation from him?

And why did he feel the need to explain himself to her? Was it possible that…

No! Stop having stupid thoughts.

Harriet waved the thought away and smiled gently, "I fully understand that she's your friend and you're just trying to give her a hand. There's no need for explanation, Mr. Smith, I'm not that unreasonable."

There was a hint of softness in Wesley's eyes, he asked her, "Did you eat your fill?"
