After providing them the address of the advertising company and Mandy’s shoe size, Harvey and the others left directly. The employees did not dare to raise their heads, and the other customers there were in awe.
They did not know what kind of person Harvey was. How could he keep such a low profile? But he was quite frightening too.
When they reached outside, Mandy said softly, “Harvey, what happened exactly? Why do you have so much money? Besides, what’s wrong with that person just now? Why did he become so scared after he saw your credit card?”
Cecilia stared at Harvey too. She sized him up. If she did not figure that out, she might not be able to sleep that night.
Harvey shrugged and said, “The credit card is not mine. It belongs to that classmate of mine. I used it just now, and will treat it as an advance payment of my salary. You don’t have to worry. My salary is quite high.
“As to why they became so frightened when they saw the card card, maybe my classmate is no ordinary person.”
“I see!” Mandy nodded. His classmate could lend Harvey eight hundred thousand dollars just like that. Besides, he asked Harvey to deal with such a huge task of buying a Porsche. His credit card could be used just like that even though it cost around one hundred fifty thousand dollars. Certainly, that classmate of his was not an ordinary person.
Standing beside them, Cecilia heaved a soft sigh after she heard that. She thought that Harvey had risen up and gotten his moment at last.
But soon, she was filled with another thought. She then said, “Harvey, what does your classmate do as a living?”
“Investment. Why? Is there a problem?” Harvey appeared confused. ‘What does this boy crazy woman want to do now since she always acts impudently?’
“I see that your classmate seems to be quite wealthy, and he enjoys such a privileged status too. I’m wondering if he’s single. If he is, could you please introduce him to me?” Cecilia was not being shy, and she said openly. After all, her aim was to be married into a rich family. She was thinking about the CEO of York Enterprise before. Now when she saw that Harvey’s classmate was quite wealthy, she was quite charmed by that.
Harvey appeared helpless. He rubbed his temple slightly and said, “If I’m not mistaken, you mentioned just now that you want to go to York Enterprise to help the CEO clean his desk. Why did you change your decision now?”
Cecilia said smugly, “What do you know about this since you’re just an unsophisticated man who knows nothing about this kind of thing? This is called investing in different places and people. We shouldn’t put all of our eggs in one basket. If I have my eyes on only a handsome man, I’ll be destined to be a back-up partner for that man. If I have my eyes on ten handsome men, then the men will be my array of back-up partners instead…”
