The corner of Archer’s lips curled up and he replied, “No problem. We’re friends, aren’t we? And this is just a woman.”
“Alright, haha.”
Ronald clasped Archer’s shoulder and laughed loudly before he glared at Jasper harshly. “I still have important things to do, so I’ll let you go because Mr. Nicholls asked. Be thankful, or you’d be suffering now.”
Ronald then left casually with the woman in his arms.
Jasper’s gaze dimmed and he was about to call out after Ronald when Wendy tugged at his clothes. “It’s fine, let’s visit Ms. Tiana first.”
Archer had also walked over by then and he told Jasper arrogantly, “Ronald isn’t someone you can afford to offend. He already decided to let it go thanks to me, so don’t go causing trouble for yourself.”
Archer paid Jasper’s reaction no heed and he turned to smile at Wendy. “I don’t think we’ve seen each other since graduation, Wendy. It’s almost been seven years since then. How’re you doing?”
Wendy frowned.
Archer’s words might seem fine, but there was an amorous tone to it.
It was as if the two of them used to be close.
Not to mention that the choice of words was what couples who had broken up a long time ago normally used.
Wendy realized that Archer was trying to take advantage of her, so she glanced at him indifferently before replying, “Not bad. We were never close to begin with, so let’s not waste unnecessary time here. Let’s go visit Ms. Tiana.”
Wendy then naturally wrapped her arm around Jasper’s and looked up at him with a beautiful smile Archer had never seen before. “Let’s go, Jasp.”
Archer’s expression immediately darkened at the sight of this.
By now, Jasper and Wendy had already moved toward the stairs, leaving Archer to grind his molars and force himself to suppress his anger. He needed understand what was going on between Jasper and Wendy before he did anything rash.
‘F*cking Hell, this stupid broke f*cker! He couldn’t even afford to buy food so how dare he steal my woman now? Just you wait–upper-class society is much crueler than people on campus!’
