Darling, Don't Get Rid of Me novel Chapter 141

Harriet didn’t expect that she not only had the idea of expressing her love at such a moment, but also didn’t hesitate to do it.

The moment she saw Wesley appear on the terrace and learned the truth that her brother was protected by him, she understood that she shouldn’t miss the chance.

"Okay."

After a long silence, she only heard his an unstated response.

Harriet was confused, what did "okay" mean? Was it an acceptance or a rejection?

"Well, Mr. Smith, what do you mean?"

After asking, Harriet was hesitant. After all, she didn’t want to lose face completely. She expressed her love bravely but Wesley had no response, which clearly meant the answer was no. Why she asked it again and embarrassed herself?

Hearing her question, Wesley gave an explanation, "I know."

"Okay, if this is what you mean, then I understand." Harriet was disappointed, but she wasn't too surprised.

‘I know’ was equal to ‘I don't like you’. It was the most typical way to reject a suitor and the same plot appeared in the tragic television series acted by Harriet more than once.

It was also a polite and gentle answer. If others knew it, they would definitely scold her for chasing the one who she didn’t deserve.

Wesley’s black eyes had always gazed at Harriet.

‘Like him’ meant that she wanted to become Mrs. Smith, or simply because he saved Colin, her impression of him changed instantly?

If it was the former one, then she really had a lot of Jonests.

Not everyone was able to be his wife, even a high-status person like Louisa Jones was not up to his standard. If Louisa became his wife, it was only because the deep friendship between his and her families. But Harriet?

Judging from the standards of the circle of celebrities, except the face and fiJonesre, she was not qualified as his wife in terms of her origin, education, connotation and virtue.

But he could consider it.

"You..."

Wesley's words were interrupted by the sudden ring of his cell phone. Harriet stepped aside. Wesley went back to the company after hanging up the phone, while Jack was asked to stay here and help Harriet deal with the thing in the hospital together.

"Well, why it’s so hard to communicate with your president ?"

When checking in, Harriet wanted to get some information from Jack, and complained.

Jack answered in a serious manner, "The president just doesn't like to talk nonsense."

Harriet retorted, “The more nonsense you talk, the happier you will be. It seems Mr. Smith isn’t that happy every day. Is it because Louisa doesn’t like him, he feels upset?”

Jack answered without thinking, "The president does not like Ms Jones."

After a pause, he continued, "Miss Clark, Mr. Smith attaches importance to you, otherwise he wouldn't choose not to tell you Mr. Clark's situation. At that time when we found Mr. Clark, he was already seriously injured and in a brain coma, even the doctor could not Jonesarantee that he would survive, that's why the president did not tell you at first."

Harriet's palms clenched into fists, frowning.

Colin never offended anyone, except the Jones Family, no one wanted him dead!

"It seems that I have misunderstood Mr. Smith, I didn't expect that he was a good person." Harriet joked with a smile.

"It's not the first time you misunderstood Mr. Smith. Miss Clark, excuse me for being blunt, Mr. Smith doesn’t owe you anything."

Reminded by Jack, Harriet suddenly realized that Wesley did not need to deal with her and Colin secretly. If he did not want them to have a good time, he would have done it blatantly, there was no need to take advantage of the media to smear them. This was not his usual style.

After visiting her brother, Jack gave her a gift and they rushed all the way to the Pop Culture Group.

People should apologize when they should do so. Harriet didn't want to let the misunderstanding stand between her and Wesley and ruined their friendship.

Half an hour later, Harriet came to the top floor corridor of the Pop Culture Group unimpededly.

Walking out of the elevator, she heard a familiar female voice saying something sadly. Harriet walked slowly and did not immediately go forward to show up, instead, she stopped at the corner to listen carefully in silence.

This was the voice of her good friend, Cherry.

"Let me see Mr. Smith, I promise I won't intercede for Harriet this time and won't bother him." Cherry pleaded with a senior secretary.

The newly hired secretary named Baker frowned impatiently, "The president didn't throw you out directly, so you are asking more, aren’t you? What do you mean by "old love", Harriet is overconfident."

"How can you say that about Harriet? Although she may have done something wrong and should not flirt with Keith so quickly, she must do it for certain reason. That day ... that day it’s possible that I was wrong, maybe that woman just looks like Harriet, maybe actually that woman was not her, maybe she didn’t leave with Keith together."

Cherry said sincerely. If people who didn’t know the truth saw it, they would definitely be moved by her for being so persevering in defending for her good friend.

However, as a qualified actor, Harriet could read the meaning of her words immediately. She was obviously saying something good, but actually she was smearing her.

"Is that so? Aren't you her best friend? Then explain why Harriet disappeared for so many days and didn't even show up for an award ceremony?"

Cherry was embarrassed and spoke hesitantly, "Maybe... maybe she went to see a doctor. Yes, she must have seen the doctor! I heard that she wanted a child, but it didn’t work, and she was very anxious, so maybe she went to see a doctor."

Hearing this, Secretary Baker immediately laughed out loud, "Well, what people say is really true. A woman who was played by many people still want to get pregnant? She thinks she can be a member of Smith Family if she’s pregnant, right? It's ridiculous, even if she is pregnant, who knows whose the father of the child?"

"Slap!"

Harriet walked out from the side with cold look and unceremoniously slapped the secretary.

She didn’t care people smear her but her children couldn’t be insulted. The two babies she lost had always been the most painful thing for her, and she could not tolerate such words.

"You!" Secretary Baker covered her face and was about to have a fit, but when she raised her eyes and saw that it was Harriet, she was shocked, "You, why are you here?"

Harriet looked at her coldly, "Say it, go on, I want to know how all the rumors came out."

Secretary Baker was stunned, and then she was righteous, "Rumors? Now everyone knows that you are a snob. Mr. Smith dumped you, and then you went to seduce Keith. You covet vanity and think you are superior! Well, you’re just a plaything, do you really think Keith likes you?"?"

While saying, the secretary didn't notice that the door of the president's office had opened behind her and Wesley was walking out with a sullen face.

Harriet curved the corners of her mouth and spoke unhurriedly, "Who said that Mr. Smith had dumped me?"

"Still try to deceive yourself? If you weren't dumped, why your contract was terminated? It sounds like you took the initiative to terminate your contract, but everyone knew the truth." Secretary Baker was still harping on.

Cherry's face turned whiter and whiter, she certainly saw Wesley, but soon she returned to a joyful appearance.

"Harriet, you're back? Great, you are safe and sound, I was worried that something might happened to you..." Cherry greeted forward, holding Harriet's hand tightly.

If she didn't hear the words just now, seeing that Cherry was shocked and joyful, Harriet would really think this "good friend" of her really worried about her. She had to say, Cherry really had a talent for acting.

Since Cherry wanted to act the ‘close friendship play’, she could act with her together, after all, she didn’t get the proof to prove to people that Cherry was a woman of hypocrisy.

"Yes, thanks to you, you come here every day to plead for me and say good words, Mr. Smith became soft-hearted, so he brought me back." Harriet smiled in a friendly manner.

Cherry stiffened.

It was impossible, did Wesley not know the fact that Harriet had been taken away by Keith? Or was it really like she said, Wesley didn't mind?

"See, Cherry, you worry about Harriet all the time, but she wouldn’t think of you when she regained her status. I think you should mind your own business, Harriet has the means to seduce people, and she doesn’t need you to worry about her, you should worry more about yourself."

Secretary Baker was proudly saying, when the man's clear and cold words suddenly sounded from behind, "It's you who have to worry."
