"Mr. MacLeod, don't tease me," she said, giving Harvey a half-flirtatious push.
Just then, Harvey spotted Ian in the center of the room. He gave Vanessa’s waist a squeeze. "Want to go say hello to your old flame?"
Vanessa's gaze drifted toward Ian. She forced a smile and said, "He has someone with him now. Why would he remember me?"
"Mr. MacLeod, you want to get to know Mr. Goodwin? I could introduce you," Mr. Lambert offered, hoping to earn a favor and expand his own network within The Kingston Elite Circle.
Harvey's expression turned a bit awkward. He tugged at his tie. "Forget it. A guy on that level... we'd better not try to get close."
Harvey waved his hand dismissively, his tone sheepish. His eyes betrayed an undisguised mix of apprehension and self-awareness.
Although Ian wasn't part of The Kingston Elite Circle, Harvey had heard whispers about his connections to Kingston.
As arrogant as he was, he knew that forcing an introduction wouldn't get him anywhere with a man like that.
Vanessa sneered inwardly but said softly, "Mr. MacLeod is right. We should just have our own fun."
Mr. Lambert's eyes scanned Vanessa up and down with a meaningful smile. Vanessa met his gaze and gave him a seductive look of her own. "Mr. Lambert, here's to you."
Mr. Lambert smirked, acknowledging her flirtatious signal, and raised his glass. "To you, Miss Shannon."
Then, a few of Harvey's buddies came over. Vanessa felt extremely uncomfortable as their eyes raked over her.
