Soon, Jake Surrey sent a text message to Cecilia Zachary.
Cecilia glanced at her phone. Although she was slightly helpless, she still stood up. She then smiled and said, "Mandy, don't sit with this worthless piece of trash for the fear that you’ll be affected by his poverty and bad luck. You need to have some good luck today. Come and change your seat with me. Later, Mr. Surrey wants to take you to be acquainted with the superiors from the York Enterprise."
Mandy Zimmer replied without hesitation, "Forget it. I'll just sit here."
At that moment, Mandy was in an awkward situation. But weirdly enough, she found herself feeling more comfortable and calmer, sitting there with Harvey York than compared to a while back when she was sitting beside Jake.
That kind of comfortable feeling did not have anything to do with wealth. It was a feeling like she had returned to her own home, and now she was lying in her own little bed.
Mandy also could not explain that feeling, where it came from or how it came about. But at that moment, she still inadvertently declined Cecilia.
Cecilia became so angry that she stomped her feet.
However, she could not do much about it and tried not to display her irritation. Hence, she sat back down in her seat and glared at Harvey sternly. She then said, " You're just a worthless piece of trash. Let me warn you again. Don’t be wasting Mandy's youth like that. You need to be mindful of yourself. It’s useless to force things if they weren't meant for you. Nothing forcibly done is going to be pleasant!"
Harvey smiled. "Do I look like I care if it’s pleasant or otherwise. I'll just do it my own way! Can you please don’t act like a busybody and meddle in other people's affairs? How is it that the things between me and my wife ever concern you? Am I the husband to Mandy or to you? Unbelievable!"
Hearing their quarrel, Mandy frowned and said, "Can the both of you please stop quarreling with each other? Cecilia, my marriage concerns only me. I've thought about it recently. For the time being, I still don’t want a divorce..." 1
After she said that, not only Cecilia’s facial expression changed, Jake, who was sitting beside them, also gave a grimacing expression.
If Mandy did not go through with the divorce, did it mean that he did not have any chance?
"Harvey, you... Are you coming home tonight?” Mandy did not bother about the others but proceeded to ask with some hesitation.
Harvey thought about that for a while. He then said," Sure. Let me give you a ride home tonight."
Mandy appeared happy but on the other hand, Cecilia laughed coldly all of a sudden. "Do you want to send Mandy home? Do you even know how much Mandy's clothes cost? Do you plan for her to walk home with you?
"We came in Mr. Surrey's car today, so obviously we need to go home in his car too. Aren’t I right, Mr. Surrey?" Cecilia winked at Jake.
Jake laughed and said, "That's true, Miss Zimmer. I still want to bring you to be acquainted with the superiors from the York Enterprise later when the auction is over. If you don't want to leave with us, don’t blame me if you miss a chance like that. After all, you do know that the new CEO from the York Enterprise is such a mysterious person who keeps a very low profile. If it wasn't for me, it’ll be extremely difficult for you to meet him." 4
