“Hi, Yvonne!” the arrogance on Harvey was gone and he sat while kicking his leg up, shaking it. He smiled and greeted me, then casually started to eat the snacks I had previously left in the car.
“Yvonne?” I blinked. I had the impression that I got into the wrong car until I looked at Christopher and saw him smiling gleefully. “You two know each other?”
Christopher helped me with my seat belts and handed me a glass of water as he said with a smile, “Of course. Harvey is Zachary’s cousin!”
“Oh!” I stuck my tongue out and made a face at Harvey. This guy ridiculed me at the party even though he knew Christopher? How despicable!
“Don’t look at me like that or Christopher will get jealous and hit me! I’m sorry for the mean things I said to you at the party. Please don’t take it to heart, okay?”
As Harvey had taken the initiative to apologize for his actions at the party, I decided to let him off the hook. After all, he was Christopher’s friend, and I believed in his judgment of people.
“I won’t. In fact, I should be thanking you instead! Everyone was able to accept me into that circle because of your help,” I replied with a gentle smile. Honestly, that was the fastest way to get into the circle.
“You really are an understanding person. Unlike some people who beat me up even after I helped!” Harvey waved his fist at Christopher as he continued, “Hey, Christopher! I’ve taken care of the job you told me about, so you better keep your promise and introduce me to some good woman! It’s best if you can find me someone as understanding as Yvonne!”
