Chapter 1519
"It really has been a long time, but I can understand. I heard you’ve been working for the Riddle Corporation during the holidays. It's understandable that you're busy." Snow said, trying really hard to portray Harvey herself as an understanding character.
After she had spoken, she turned to Mr. Ellison, having not forgotten about him. "Hello, Mr. Ellison. I haven't seen you in a while, and yet, here you are, as strong as ever."
Mr. Ellison did not have a good impression of Snow, though she was one of the daughters of the Riddle family. Although she is not remotely close to Nicole in terms of her capabilities, her position in the Riddle family should not be overlooked nonetheless. It would serve him best if he could maintain a good relationship with the Riddles, and so, Mr. Ellison did not treat Snow coldly.
"Yeah, you guys may continue," Mr. Ellison said. "I'll see your grandfather for a bit. I heard that he fell sick two days ago."
Snow was caught off guard upon seeing that Mr. Ellison was treating her politely.
'Mr. Ellison actually excused himself so that I could spend more time with Harvey...Does that mean...that Mr. Ellison approves of my relationship with Harvey?' she pondered.
As soon as she thought of that, Snow got even more excited.
Unable to hold back, she moved in closer to Harvey,"
Harvey, it seems that you do not have any partner tonight??
Do you mind if I..."
Usually, Snow's faux coyness and clinginess were traits she could use to gain herself favors from just about anyone.
Unfortunately, Harvey's eyes were already set on Nicole. "It's fine. I don't need a partner. I have some friends there, so would you please excuse me?"
As he was speaking, he turned around with a cold expression on his face and walked away.
