Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41 He's Not into Her

She had followed him around for so many years and was happy as long as he didn't kick her out.

She'd always thought he was a cold-hearted man who didn't know how to be nice to people, and as long as she was nice to him, they would be fine.

She didn't realize that he wasn't cold. It was just that he wasn't into her.

Jessica looked at the food on the plate, with unconcealable surprises in her eyes, "Thank you, James."

"Like to eat this?"

James put down the communal chopsticks and picked up his own again, "I will ask them bring some up later."

Jessica's eyes flashed and her cheeks reddened slightly as she nodded.

Angela hung her eyes and stood in front of the table, with a sore and swollen chest. Her heart wrenched as if it was being bitten by insects.

"Hello Mr. James, hello Miss Jessica."

When she saw James and Jessica, Julia's eyes lit up and she greeted them somewhat formally.

Angela forced herself to speak but there was no pleasure under her eyes, "Sorry to bother you."

"I was worried you'd be too ashamed and embarrassed to come over."

Jessica sighed helplessly, then smiled warmly, "It's good that you've come over. Sit down please."

"Thank you, Miss Jessica."

Julia smiled and thanked her, pulling Angela to sit in the empty seat.

When the crowd wasn't looking, she asked quietly.

"Why Miss Jessica said you'd be too ashamed and embarrassed to come over here?"

Angela's body stiffened, not uttering a single word for half a day.

"Nothing, it's just that she ran over my leg with her car."

Jessica's voice was soft and slightly apologetic as she said.

"Too close, sorry to hear your whispers."

"That's okay. That's okay."

Julia smiled sarcastically and waved his hand, embarrassed and shocked.

So it turned out that the target of Angela's attempted murder was Miss Jessica.

"You don't have to feel embarrassed. You're not the one who ran over me."

Jessica smiled and said with frustration.

"Besides, I don't blame Angela. I just feel a little sorry that I won't be able to dance in the future."

"Were you a dancer?"

Julia said in surprise.

Danis looked at Jessica, his eyes downcast, "A World Champion of Ballet."

If Jessica hadn't gotten close to Angela for him in the first place, this wouldn't have happened.

"You are actually a world champion?"

Julia covered her mouth, "That's a shame!"

"If I were Miss Jessica and someone else bumped my leg, I would definitely never forgive her in my life!"

Only after she finished, did she realize what she had said. She smiled sarcastically and inclined her head to look at Angela, "I don't suppose you mean to do that at that time either, right?"

"Whether she was intentional or not, Jessica can't dance anymore."

Danis's face was gloomy.

No one spoke again, and the atmosphere was awkward to the extreme.

Only James was still eating, his demeanor elegant and noble, unaffected at all.

"Well, I said I don't blame Angela for that."

Jessica had a forced smile on her face, "Even if I can't dance, it's nothing. Stop talking about this heavy topic."

Julia looked at Jessica's clear and beautiful features and truly felt that Jessica was so gentle and kind that she made people's hearts ache.

"Haven't you been talking about it yourself?"

James put down his chopsticks and leaned back in his seat, glancing at Jessica with a wry smile.

Jessica hung her head and bit her lip as she said.

"Sorry, I'm the one who shouldn't have brought up the subject."
