Chapter 6221
“But…”
Xynthia Zimmer hesitated. She wanted to have a special meal with her brother-in-law as a date…
But she could not just say no to Cason Lee either.
“Since your professor and classmates are so sincere, it’d be impolite to refuse.”
Harvey York smiled. He could tell a lot of things judging from Cason’s behavior.
It was good that he came this time.
If Mandy Zimmer had been the one who came, there would have been some things that might have been harder to handle.
“I’ll come with you tonight.
“With that said, you should get a change of clothes. It’s windy tonight.”
Xynthia shyly went to the changing room. She did not fully understand what Harvey meant by saying all that.
The student with thin lips glared at Harvey before she coldly scoffed.
“Let me introduce myself. I’m Veda Blake,” she spoke while looking down on Harvey.
“I don’t care if you’re actually Xynthia’s boyfriend.
“As long as you know what’s good for yourself, I promise you’ll get plenty of benefits.
“But if you don’t… Heh.”
Veda scoffed. She clearly meant something else along those lines.
Harvey squinted. At this point, he understood much more about Xynthia’s situation.
As soon as he was about to say something, Xynthia had already hopped out of the changing room.
She came over when she shyly wrapped herself around Harvey’s arm before Veda’s murderous glare.
“My dear brother-in-law-I mean, Harvey…
“Do I look good tonight?” she asked with a beaming smile.
Harvey looked at her bare face before smiling back.
“You definitely look the best this way.
Xynthia cutely stuck her tongue out before leaning closer to Harvey’s ear.
“I know what they want, Harvey. I’m not stupid; I’m just playing along here.
“No need to worry about me. I have known how to protect myself since I decided to be in this circle.
“If you don’t feel good about the gathering, we can just have a barbeque on our own.”
Harvey flicked his finger on Xynthia’s forehead with a warm smile.
“You don’t want your role or what?
“You must be feisty to skip a gathering with the director and the investor, huh?”
Xynthia stuck her tongue out again while waving Harvey’s arm around.
“Well, since you’re here…”
Veda’s eyes twitched as she watched the two being so lovey- dovey.
She glared at Xynthia for a good second before pushing the two apart.
“You’re going to be a star soon.
“Watch yourself, alright?
“The rest of us don’t even get a chance at your role.
“How are you this careless when you’re about to be famous ?”
Then, she dragged Xynthia out of the studio.
An hour later, Harvey and Xynthia were led to a private clubhouse.
In a city that spends hundreds and thousands of dollars at every turn, the clubhouse still seemed extremely impressive.
Veda stood before Harvey while Xynthia was in the restroom.
“You’re Harvey, right?
She gave a cold glare.
“You can leave now.
“Do you understand?”
