Chapter 275 There’s Really Nothing Between Us
Jessie remarked smugly. “He even lent Mandy his car and driver for as long as a week. That’s enough to indicate their relationship, isn’t it?”
Only then did Cherise realize why Damien had personally sent her to school this morning. It turned out the car and Mr. Kolson were now at Mandy’s disposal.
She frowned. Despite feeling slightly uncomfortable about it, she could understand that it was necessary to establish a good relationship with Mandy to investigate her more deeply. Moreover, this arrangement was just temporary.
Cherise never cared much about these things. In fact, she wouldn’t mind taking the public bus as long as she could arrive at school on time. So, she wasn’t bothered.
“Judging by your confused look, I bet you didn’t know about the matter.” Jessie continued to challenge Cherise.
Cherise nodded. “Yeah. I wasn’t aware.”
Jessie gloated. “See, Damien didn’t even tell Cherise that he lent the car and the driver to Mandy. They don’t seem like a normal couple at all. Why are you denying that you guys have parted ways, Cherise?”
Cherise found Jessie’s assumption ridiculous. “Why does that imply we’re not a normal couple?” She glanced at Jessie with a serious look. “If your dad wants to lend his car to someone else, will he ask for your mom’s permission first?”
Instantly, Jessie’s triumphant expression froze. Everyone in the class knew her family was poor and couldn’t afford a car. Her father would ride a motorcycle to the school’s parents’ day.
The comment was an utter humiliation to Jessie!
The blood drained from Jessie’s face.
After a moment of silence, Lucy burst out laughing. “Cherry, your question has really stumped Jessie. Her family doesn’t own a car!”
Cherise was startled. “I see.”
She smiled at Jessie. “Since such a situation never happened to your parents. Why would you think it would affect my relationship with Damien?”
Jessie was bereft of speech. “I”
“Jessie, you’ve crossed the line.” Mandy patted Jessie’s shoulder. “It’s not up to us, outsiders, to comment about their relationship. Moreover, there’s really nothing between Dame and 1”
Mandy’s tone was extremely gentle. “It’s just that when Dame knew my driver was unavailable.
and my brother took my car, he felt sorry for me for commuting by public transport every day. So, he lent the car and the driver to me. We’re just normal friends. Please don’t overthink.”
Then, she turned to look at Cherise with a smile, “Cherise, I hope you won’t overthink too. There’s nothing between us.”
Lucy was disgusted by Mandy’s words. What a hypocritical b*tch! She pretended to clarify her relationship with Damien, but in fact, she was trying to emphasize how Damien felt sorry for her and couldn’t bear to see her take public transport. She thought Cherise had to come to school by public bus because the driver was serving her. She just wanted to imply that, to Damien, she’s more important than Cherise!
“Don’t worry, I won’t.” Cherise smiled at Mandy. “Mr. Kolson drives quite fast. Hope you’re getting used to his speed, Ms. Wool. I was too used to his speed, so…’
So, I found Damien’s driving too slow!
Cherise thought it was unnecessary to say the second half of the sentence to her classmates. However, when the others heard her incomplete remark, they thought she was going to complain about how slow the public bus was.
