Harvey York's Rise to Power novel Chapter 3

Half an hour later, Harvey reached Mandy’s company. As he was about to enter through the entrance, a bodyguard stopped him with a stun baton all of a sudden. The bodyguard said coldly, “Get lost! We don’t welcome beggars here.”

Harvey had just woken up, and he did not manage to clean himself up first. Besides, he was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with patches all over them. He did seem just like a beggar by the road.

However, Harvey was used to that kind of thing. He smiled and said, “Mister, I’m here to send a document to my wife.”

“Do you have a wife given the way you look?” The bodyguard was suspicious. “Is it the cleaning lady—Zara or the worker who works at the back kitchen—Lily?”

“My wife is Mandy,” said Harvey.

The bodyguard was stunned. Soon, he broke into laughter. “I see. You’re the son-in-law of the Zimmers.” He could not cease laughing.

Harvey shook his head. It never occurred to him that he was quite famous.

“That’s enough. Hand me the document. Miss Zimmer asked me to take the document from you if you’re here,” said the bodyguard.

“No.” Harvey shook his head in determination. “My sister-in-law said that it’s quite important, so I need to hand it to my wife in person. Could you please step aside…”

“You!” The bodyguard pointed at Harvey helplessly. ‘Is he crazy? Doesn’t he know how the Zimmers dislike him? Besides, he’s dressed up like this. Isn’t he afraid of ruining the company’s image?'

While they were talking to each other, they heard a loud blaring sound of a car engine from behind them all of a sudden. Soon, a BMW 5 series was seen parked beside Harvey’s electric bike after a high-speed drift maneuver. Then, they saw Don getting out of the car with a bouquet of roses in his hand.

“Great to see you here, Mr. Xander!” Noticing Don, the arrogant bodyguard soon appeared cordial and flattering. He soon said, “Mr. Xander, please walk this way. Miss Zimmer has been waiting for you in the office for a long time now.”

Don nodded at him. He then turned and walked into the company without even glancing at Harvey.

Harvey was about to enter the company too. However, the bodyguard raised his stun baton and blocked Harvey’s way again.

“What do you mean? Why is he allowed to enter the company and I’m not?” Harvey stared at the bodyguard and asked.

The bodyguard sighed and said, “Harvey, you’re just a son-in-law. How could you be compare to Mr. Xander? See, the perfume and roses in his hand certainly cost more than a few hundred bucks. Do you have that kind of money? From what I can see, you’ll cease to be their son-in-law soon.”

Harvey was stunned for a short while. He then frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

“What do I mean? Are you stupid or are you putting up a show here? The incident which happened the night before is spread all over the city. Everyone knows that Mr. Xander is pursuing Miss Zimmer. They are a good-looking pair. They belong with each other. Take a look at yourself! You seem so pathetic and useless. I wonder why did Miss Zimmer agree to marry you in the first place?” The bodyguard chided him.
