After Cherie successfully entered the law firm, Huntley looked at her weirdly as if she were an alien.
She was embarrassed by such scrutinization.
Huntley smirked. “If that’s the case, do you know Boyle? Furthermore, if you do, are you close to him as well?”
While Boyle was away to take a shower, Cherie did not dare exaggerate about the relationship between them. She was treading on thin ice as she smiled shyly in response. “I do know him but we’re not as close as you think.”
At the very least, Boyle was not close to her.
“But you’re here to deliver meals for him?”
“...”
“Tell me honestly, you like him, don’t you?”
Her eyes were fixated at Boyle all the time ever since she entered the law firm. Huntley was a handsome guy too. However, he was completely ignored by this young lady.
The only explanation he could think of was that this young lady liked Boyle and had fallen head over heels for him.
Her silence made it obvious.
Huntley had a sharp tongue. Since he found her quite interesting, he continued, “Little girl, have you ever heard of the saying, ‘loyal guys are vulnerable to clingy women’?”
Cherie shook her head.
Huntley continued, “Boyle has a hard time in relationships. He’s a typical loyal guy when it comes to them. If you like him and wish to pursue his love, you’ll have to pester him constantly.”
Cherie pouted her lips. She took his words seriously and asked him in concern, “What if he gets annoyed by my constant pestering?”
Huntley could not help but laugh at her innocent look. “He won’t get annoyed. He’ll give you a cold shoulder at the very most. Perhaps, he might even become yours if you keep on pestering him.”
Cherie sighed heavily. She slouched her shoulders and muttered, “I’m scared I don’t have the perseverance…”
“You won’t know the outcome if you don’t try.”
Huntley was eating, lifting his chopsticks to take the only drumstick in the plastic container.
Cherie immediately snatched the plastic container away. “You can’t eat this.”
Huntley was startled. “Why?”
Her cheeks were flushed as she stuttered, “This wasn’t prepared by Hector. I bought this from the cafeteria.”
Huntley raised his brows. “Oh. Tsk, that’s definitely for Boyle.”
Since Huntley had given up on eating the drumstick, Cherie placed the plastic container onto the table.
Cherie tried to please him. “Huntley, if you wish to eat drumstick, I’ll get you one next time.”
Huntley curved his lips up into a smile. “Such a tactful girl. You’ve got a bright future.”
Cherie muttered, “But…you have to help me in regards to chasing Boyle.”
“Sigh, it’s such a small matter. We’ll seal the deal with a drumstick.”
Cherie’s heart was filled with satisfaction.
Recently, Whitney had gifted her a book titled Relationship Tactics and mentioned that if one wished to win somebody’s heart, they had to buy off the person’s close friends.
She felt that she had done quite well in this aspect and was already one step closer in capturing his heart.
When Boyle came out of the bathroom, his face darkened instantly as soon as he saw them chit-chatting happily.
Cherie’s eyes fixated on Boyle the moment she saw him. “Come over and eat. The dishes are getting cold.”
Boyle sat beside Huntley as Cherie passed the drumstick to him. “I purposely went to the school cafeteria and bought this for you.”
“I don’t like drumsticks.”
Cherie frantically asked, “... What do you like to eat then?”
Huntley glanced at the fussy man sitting beside him and huffed in disdain. He dragged the plastic container toward him with his chopsticks. “Cher, you don’t have to pamper him. If he doesn’t want it, I’ll eat it then!”
