I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 16

Charlie reached out his hand to rummage through Oliver’s trouser pocket as he said and really found the car key.

“Come on, let’s see if Oliver is driving a two-wheeled motorcycle or an electric trike…”

Charlie took out the car key and displayed it, only to be struck with disbelief upon laying eyes on it.

The car key bore an unmistakable Porsche emblem. He was momentarily stunned before he mocked again, “Hey, is this a fancy lighter?”

He attempted to press the key, but it remained unyielding. There appeared to be no distinction between the one in his hand and an authentic car key. While he couldn’t be certain if it was indeed the genuine article, it certainly wasn’t a mere lighter!

Oliver grabbed the car key back and put it in his pocket. He said with a sullen face, “We are classmates. You don’t have to ridicule me like this. I congratulate you if you want to show off your wealth and success. I won’t stay any longer. Please

excuse me!”

Charlie was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Oliver didn’t try to prove himself, Charlie hurriedly grabbed Oliver and shouted, “What do you mean? Don’t leave. If you don’t drink today, it means you’re looking down on me!”

Oliver couldn’t help sneering as he thought, “So what if I look down on you? It’s not like I rely on you for anything!”

He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly a figure came in. She reached out her hand to pick up Oliver’s glass and said, “I’ll drink it for him!”

Everyone including Oliver was stunned.

It was the boss, Hailey, who barged in and took the glass of wine for him.

Hailey’s beauty instantly captivated the few dozen classmates. Among them, Isabel was widely recognized as the epitome of attractiveness and held the title of the school babe in her class. Isabel was really beautiful and sexy.

However, when compared to Hailey, who drank for Oliver, there was an evident gap in Isabel’s appeal!

When comparing beauties to less attractive women, it was natural for the former to appear more beautiful. However, when

two beauties were compared with each other, the differences between them became evident.

Isabel had sharp eyes and could tell that Hailey’s bag was Hermes. The latter’s outfit was Prada, and she was wearing a huge diamond ring on her right index finger.

If they were all authentic, her ensemble would be valued at over 200 thousand dollars.

Furthermore, Hailey’s appearance and demeanor were so impressive that they could outshine Isabel’s a lot.

Charlie was jealous and angry. He asked Hailey, “Who are you? Why are you drinking for him?”

Hailey stretched out her hand to pull Oliver over, holding the glass with her right hand and hooking his elbow with her left hand. She said in a rhetorical tone, “I’m his girlfriend. Do I have the right to drink for him now?”

“Girlfriend?”

Everyone was surprised.

Isabel was even more surprised.

She had just dumped Oliver. He was a poor loser. She assumed it would be difficult for him to find a female friend, let alone another girlfriend-especially one who possessed such beauty and high standards.

No one believed it, but the reality was a beautiful woman was right in front of them and was gently holding Oliver’s elbow, claiming that she was his girlfriend.

“Is there any other woman who will come from nowhere just to claim herself as Oliver’s girlfriend?” they thought.

Observing the disbelieving and astonished expressions of the onlookers, Hailey cast a quick glance in their direction before focusing her gaze on Charlie’s face. She repeated her question once more, “Oliver is about to drive. Is it all right if I drink the wine on his behalf?”

Charlie nod his head but Isabel, who was beside him, couldn’t help but cut in, “Girls these days are so vain. If it were someone unfamiliar, we might have overlooked it. But we know exactly what kind of person Oliver is. Did you expect us to be shocked and envious by flaunting all these branded items? Hermes bags, Prada outfits, Longines watches, and even a meticulously prepared Porsche car key belonging to Oliver. Tell me, which store online did you purchase them from?”

Hailey looked at her with a smile and asked, “So you think I’m wearing counterfeit items? I’m not as superficial as you are. If you claim they are fake, then let them be fake. I have no desire to prove

anything to you…” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Then she turned to Oliver and said, “Oliver, let’s go. Your classmates… There’s no need to keep in contact with them. They’re not real friends.”

Charlie and Isabel also had the same thoughts, so he sneered, “Beauty, I think you’ve lost your mind, too. There are so many

good men in the world yet you choose to be with a loser like Oliver. Did he give you all those branded items? I promise he was lying to you, or do you want me to introduce you to a real rich man?”

“A real rich man?” Hailey suddenly showed interest and asked Charlie with a smile, “I think you are like a real rich man. How about… Can you introduce yourself to me?”

Charlie was immediately delighted. He showed himself off proudly regardless of Isabel being next to him. “My name is Charlie Quinn. I’m the high school classmate of your pretending-to-be-rich boyfriend, Oliver. My father, David, works in engineering. Our family is involved in interior decoration projects for the largest company Manstar Property Group in this city. I’ve always been sincere and generous. Shall we exchange telephone numbers?”

Isabel’s face darkened as Charlie asked for Hailey’s telephone number.

“Manstar Property Group?” Hailey repeated it and suddenly felt interested. She put the glass on the table, took out her phone, and dialed a number.

“Xavier, I was bullied. What should we do?”

“Will you be bullied? You’d better not bully others!”

Hailey observed Charlie’s smug expression and responded calmly, “Xavier, I happened to have a meal at the Great Fortune Restaurant, where I had an interesting encounter with a man named Charlie Quinn. He advised me that if I wanted to find a boyfriend, I should pursue a wealthy man like himself. He also suggested that I avoid wearing counterfeit items. By the way, he mentioned that his father, David, is involved in interior engineering for your Manstar Property Group. Are you familiar with him?”

“David? Yes, there is indeed an individual by that name who has taken on a few interior projects for Manstar Property Group. The scale of the projects is not substantial, totaling only a few million dollars per year. Why? Did his son mistreat you? All right, since David’s workload is relatively small, I will promptly put a stop to it!”

Hailey hung up the phone and said to Charlie, “Okay. Thank you, Xavier, for helping me release my frustration!”

Seeing Hailey make this call, Charlie couldn’t help but laugh, “Beauty, you are absolutely stunning. But why do you insist on impersonating Oliver? How can you handle negotiations with the senior management of Manstar Property Group? Do you think it’s as simple as grocery shopping? Can contract terms be easily severed as you suggested on the phone? Ha-ha, Oliver…”

After Hailey came in, the door of this private room was open. A middle-aged man who had passed by glanced at Hailey and was stunned when he saw her. Then he came in and asked her, “Hailey, why are you here? Are they your friends?”

Seeing this middle-aged man, Charlie was also stunned. Charlie hurriedly greeted the man respectfully, “Mr. Walker!”

Charlie recognized the man as Jared Walker, the deputy CEO of Manstar Property Group and a shareholder of Great Fortune Restaurant. This explained why Charlie and David would frequently bring their guests here, hoping to establish connections with Jared.

“Charlie.” Jared nodded, but he still looked at Hailey.

Hailey shook her head lightly and replied, “I don’t deserve friends like that. Earlier, this gentleman here claimed that I was wearing fake items and suggested I should find someone as wealthy as him. He mentioned his father’s name is David. Mr. Walker, are you familiar with him?”

Jared was dumbfounded. He glanced at Charlie and nodded to Hailey. “Yes, but we’re just acquaintances. He has business contact with Manstar Property Group.
