Harvey added an ice cube to Hera’s drink. "Babe you’re not enjoying it the way it should be enjoyed. Whiskey is best drunk neat. Forget it, I'll add some ice for you. I don’t want you to get drunk."
He had no intention of carrying her home.
Hera took another sip of her drink. The whiskey was diluted with ice cubes and tasted much better now. She was annoyed with Harvey and thought to herself, ‘Sure enough, this is what you'd expect from people that come from new money. Money can’t buy class and taste. This is so much better with ice.’
If it were not for his thick wallet, Hera would not be bothered to entertain him. He did not have the looks nor the body. Worst of all, he was terrible in bed.
Harvey reached out his hand to grab her waist, kissed her, and asked, "Babe, I didn't expect your classmate's scoop to be worth so much."
Hera thought that there would be a negotiation. She did not expect the other party to make such a big deal.
"She’s a prime example of rich but brainless." She mocked Maxine, forgetting that she was bootlicking her just a moment ago.
Harvey was curious and asked, "What do you have on your classmate?"
"Why are you so curious about this?" Hera remembered that when they were abroad, Harvey’s gaze had been locked on Bianca. He even wanted to make a move on her...
She pushed down her annoyance and said coquettishly, "Harvey, don't tell me that you still think about that woman? You got lucky that Luke Crawford didn’t do anything to you last time."
Harvey felt chills running down his back when he thought of Luke's frightening gaze.
He muttered, "I’m not thinking about that woman! What’s so good about her? I was thinking about whether your scoop would lead to a fallout between Luke and that woman."
Hera smiled and said nothing.
Harvey was familiar with that smile. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Baby, you're not fooling that woman, are you?"
Of course, Hera would not admit it. She dug deeper into her lie and said, "I’m not trying to fool anyone. What I told her did happen, but I don’t have evidence. What she asked for is the scoop on Bianca, she didn’t ask for evidence."
Harvey nodded and thought that there was logic in what she said, but he got worried again. "If that woman does something to Bianca, Luke will come after you..."
Hera's expression changed. ‘Does he think that he’s not a part of this?’
"Harvey, you’re being silly. If Luke wants to hold someone accountable, he’ll go after the woman, not me." She remembered that Maxine Douglas was first in the line of fire if anything were to happen and felt at ease.
If Luke did some digging, he would only find out about Maxine.
She had nothing to be afraid of. When the sky fell, Maxine would be there to take the brunt of it.
Harvey could not say anything.
If something happened, Luke would launch an investigation and find out about Hera. If that was the case, Luke might even hurt him...
Harvey made up his mind.
Influencers like Hera were everywhere. Although he was her first, he would never ruin himself for her.
He was rich, so he could get any woman he wanted.
The two of them were plotting for themselves and drank without saying anything.
...
The next day.
Bianca got up with Luke's support. After resting for a whole day, she felt her body was recovering. She was gaining strength and her head no longer felt dizzy.
Johann came over, checked on her, and cleaned the wound on her forehead.
