After walking out of the villa, Harvey York dialled a number once again. This time, the call was answered very quickly. On the other side, Yvonne Xavier answered with an apologetic tone, “Mr. York, I was at the underground parking just now, my cellphone had no signal,”
“It’s alright, you can come and fetch me now,” Harvey said calmly. Since he did not have any place to go tonight, it would be nice if he went to rest at the office instead.
“Huh? Alright, where are you, Mr. York? I’ll be there immediately.” Yvonne was obviously stunned for a while but she quickly opened her mouth and responded.
Harvey told her the address before hanging up. In less than ten minutes, a red Ferrari stopped by Harvey’s side and the car window was lowered. Not knowing since when Yvonne changed into a leather top and miniskirt ensemble, she looked at Harvey bashfully and said, “Mr. York, I was about to go for a drive when you called me, so I could not change in time.”
“It’s alright, am I disturbing your private time?” Harvey said.
“No, no, it’s my duty to serve you 24 hours a day, Mr. York.” Yvonne quickly got down from the car and walked to the passenger seat before helping Harvey to open the door.
Harvey was speechless when he saw that scene. If anyone were to see this, he would be assumed as a kept man.
Instantly, the Ferrari was revved up and driven out with a rumble.
In the car, Yvonne held the steering wheel with both hands and asked nervously, “Mr. York, where are you going?”
Harvey initially wanted to go to the office straightaway, but he suddenly thought of the incident just now. He inadvertently asked, “Wendy Sorrell came to Zimmer's Villa to return some things, what were you doing at Zimmer's Villa?”
Yvonne said awkwardly, “Mr. York, Wendy was afraid that her status was not high enough and the Zimmers would reject if she returned the stuff, so she asked me to be her witness. Since she is our company’s employee and your friend from university, it would be inappropriate for me to reject her request.”
“But that Zack Zimmer is too shameless! He even proposed to Wendy, who did he think he was? He should have taken a good look at himself in the mirror!”
After finishing her sentence, Yvonne realized that she had spoken out of line. She couldn’t help but stuck her cute little tongue out.
Harvey was stunned for a while when he heard that. This was totally different from Yvonne’s usual personality. However, he felt that this side of Yvonne was like the girl next door. The usual one was rather other-worldly.
“By the way, what happened to those other families tonight?” Harvey asked.
“Those were the families whose investments you cancelled, Mr. York. But those investments were at a loss, it’s right to stop loss in time,” Yvonne said.
“If they still look for you in the future, just ask them to call me straightaway.” Harvey thought for a while and felt that it was not good to let Yvonne bear the stress all the time.
