Sweet Love novel Chapter 24

"Yusef, what would you like to drink?" Monte holds a wine glass.

"Whiskey." Yusef answers and sits on the sofa.

After pouring wine for Yusef, Monte looks at Macy, "Miss Downey, how about you?"

Before Macy replies, Yusef has already made a decision for her, "Juice."

Monte winks meaningfully to him, and then orders the waiter to bring a glass of orange juice.

Without doubt, this trivial detail is enough to highlight his special treatment for the new girl. Everyone in the room cannot resist stealing a glance at Macy.

Macy actually has an impression of two of the girls since long time ago they played with Macy once. At this moment, these two girls are talking about something in a whisper.

Although she can't hear their conversation, it’s not hard to guess that they are discussing the bankruptcy of the Downey's.

The waiter then hands Macy the juice. She politely says, "Thank you."

With a casual glance, she inadvertently sees the girl in red is staring at her.

Macy looks away, and after a while, she feels the girl’s eyes narrowly upon her again.

What's going on? Is there anything on her face?

In a trance, Macy suddenly finds the man is leaning towards her.

She looks up as catching Yusef's black eyes. Surprisingly, his eyes are full of tender feelings now, "What do you wanna eat tomorrow night? I can book a restaurant in advance."

He doesn’t ask loudly, but it is still enough for everyone around them to hear it. Macy frowns with wonder.

Why does Yusef suddenly ask what she wants to eat tomorrow in that kind of ambiguous tone? In fact, it has been very misleading for her to join this gathering. With Yusef’s remarks, it causes other people to look at them with more speculation now.

As Macy is still thinking about the answer, she feels the man pinching her waist deliberately.

Turning around, Macy sees the girl in red keeps staring at them intently, the small face twisted. Macy suddenly realizes that...

Yusef is acting?

Macy bits her lip. Even though she is reluctant, she still responds gently, "It is up to you."

Yusef nods to her but says nothing more.

After a while, Monte makes Ellison to talk with Yusef aside. Macy sits on the sofa, vacantly staring at the exquisite glass holding in her hand.

The two girls whom Macy knows are named Sherry Fackler and Amanda Chalkley. The moment they find Yusef go away, they can’t help looking at Macy and asking, "Miss Downey, what a surprise!"

"As soon as the Downey’s goes bankrupt, you even build a relationship with Mr. Penn."

These two girls keep putting Macy down with obvious irony.

Lowering her head, Mary doesn’t reply them anything.

It is too hard to argue this since their side has more people. Moreover, the bankruptcy of the Downey’s and the relationship between her and Yusef are both indisputable facts.
