Johnathan put away his phone and smiled at me, saying, “You must have heard of me before, being idle and cynical, right?”
I pursed my lips.
Indeed.
After my father had a love child, he began to see me as a thorn in his side, always wishing I would just leave the house.
My mother used to drag me and cry every day, scolding me for being useless. She said she had raised me for nothing. After scolding me, she would beg me to stand up for myself.
“But she wanted to compete with a fallen person, how difficult it is, right?”
Johnathan smiled at me, still wearing that rogue–like look, but his eyes were tinged with sadness and self–mockery.
Later, Reynaldo found me and asked me to join him in business.
I used to think of myself as a nobody, so I tried with a skeptical attitude, but unexpectedly, I succeeded.
You know, my dad is asking me to go back now, but I’m not going back.
I nodded and smiled at him, saying, “You’re great.”
“No, no, no…” Johnathan shook his head, “It was Reynaldo who was amazing. Everyone used to say that Reynaldo was just a pretty face, but mediocre, they just didn’t see Reynaldo’s decisive and wise side.”

“Just say Winston, where can he compare with Reynaldo? I don’t know how you fell for that kid in the first place.”
Johnathan, at this point, looked at me with great disdain.
I was about to say something when suddenly footsteps were heard at the door.
I quickly got up and saw that Reynaldo and Kimberly had walked in one after the other.
I felt a slight relief in my heart, thinking it was Matthew.
Our eyes unexpectedly met with Reynaldo’s gaze.
My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly averted my gaze.
The man’s face was still icy cold, and the chill in his eyes had not diminished.
I pursed my lips, feeling quite annoyed in my heart.
If this goes on, when I get back to Freybourne, my days won’t be any better.
“Ms. Duffy…”
Just then, Kimberly suddenly came over and warmly took my hand.
I pulled my hand out in disgust and sat on the side of Johnathan.
I was annoyed when I saw that woman, so I decided to sit farther avoid her causing trouble later.

Kimberly’s smile froze for a moment, and she said to me with a hint of grievance, “Ms. Duffy, do you dislike me? I thought we could sit together and take care of each other later.”

I pursed my lips and said expressionlessly, “There’s no need for
consideration. I can’t even take care of myself, let alone take care of Ms. Palmer.”
“Let Mr. Humphrey sit beside you, he is the best at taking care of someone as fragile as you.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Reynaldo gave me a cold glance.
I lowered my eyes and pretended not to see.
“Reynaldo…”
Kimberly started crying again, “It seems like Ms. Duffy still looks down
on me…”
I snorted coldly, “What do I care if I look up to you? As long as that client looks up to you, isn’t that enough!”
“Esmeralda!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Reynaldo warned me with a low growl.
I smirked and looked at Johnathan mockingly, “Do you still dare to say that Reynaldo likes me?”
Johnathan touched his nose, then gazed at his eyes, and observed his nose, without saying a word.
Kimberly was still sobbing, “I know, I shouldn’t have come to this dinner party with my poor health, but the client insisted on my presence. I can’t ruin Reynaldo’s big deal.”
