Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 

The waiter maintained a polite demeanor, saying, “Miss, the building behind me is only accessible to our VIP guests. Please understand.” 

“VIP guests?” 

Jessica thought, and her expression immediately turned grim. 

She knew those who could attend this club were wealthy or influential. Yet, Jessica hadn’t expected there to be a hierarchy even here. 

The area in front of Jessica was reserved exclusively for VIP clients. 

It implied that merely having money wasn’t enough. One also needed. status and influence. 

Ashley could enter, but Jessica couldn’t. 

This was a direct blow to Jessica’s vanity, which was something she couldn’t tolerate. 

Jessica then glared fiercely at the waiter blocking her path, feeling increasingly frustrated. 

She hadn’t seen the man embracing Ashley yet and was far from ready to give up. 

Jessica thought about calling Matthew to come over. 

But she knew that if Matthew came, Jeremy would definitely follow. 

Given Jeremy’s current blind favoritism towards Ashley, Jessica knew it would only complicate matters. 

After a moment of thought, Jessica took out her phone and called someone named David Thompson. 

David was one of her suitors. He came from a notable family, but he was unattractive and notorious for his philandering ways, surrounded by many women, which was why Jessica had no interest in such a man. 

Jessica wouldn’t have bothered with David if she didn’t need him now. 

Once Jessica placed the call, David answered it quite quickly. 

Then, a frivolous and flirtatious voice came through the phone, asking, “Oh, Jessica, you finally remembered to call me?”

Suppressing her disgust, Jessica spoke softly. “I’m at a club in the city’s eastern part today. It’s a new opening, and I just thought of you since you live nearby. I’d like to invite you to join me.” 

David laughed more lewdly. “If it is my dear Jessica inviting me, how can I refuse such an honor?” 

Jessica felt nauseated but still said, “Then Mr. Thompson, please hurry over. I’m waiting for you.” 

David arrived in a flashy shirt in less than fifteen minutes. His chubby, flushed face was oily, and when he smiled, his chubby cheeks nearly closed his eyes into slits. “Jessica, my dear, does inviting me out mean you’re considering to develop something with me?” 

Jessica, enduring her disgust, smiled warmly, “Mr. Thompson, I’d be so grateful if you could do me a favor.” 

David loved it when women catered to him and asked in a pleased tone “What favor?” 

Jessica lifted her hand, pointed to the nearby building, and said, “Mr. Thompson, that area is only for VIP guests. With your influence, you can surely get in, Mr. Thompson. I need your help to find someone for me.” 

Jessica’s words carried a tone of flattery toward David. 

Upon hearing this, David laughed heartily. “Of course, I can get in there. Who do you think I am? I am David Thompson! Isn’t it just a matter of finding someone? I’ll do it for you! Who are you looking for. Jessica, my dear?” 

Jessica quickly responded, “My sister Ashley is in there. I’d like you to help me see who Ashley is with, Mr. Thompson. I’m quite worried about. 

her. 

David certainly knew who Ashley was, especially with her current rising popularity online. 

At the mention of Ashley’s name, the image of her stunning beauty flashed in his mind, instantly piquing his interest. 

He pondered, ‘Compared to Jessica, Ashley is a true beauty. It’s a pity I haven’t had the chance to meet Ashley, Otherwise, with my flirtatious. nature, I would have pursued her already.

Meanwhile, Valentin led Ashley into the indoor area. 

Once inside, Ashley looked around. It was a spacious and elegant hall, tastefully decorated with various flowers, creating an elegant and fragrant. atmosphere. 

A few attendants stood in the corners, prepared to serve at any moment. 

Valentin guided Ashley to a long table and sat down. 

The attendants then brought over an assortment of exquisite drinks and desserts, meticulously arranging them on the table. 

Ashley glanced down and saw several slices of green grape glazed cake on a white porcelain plate, looking beautiful and delicate. 

Sitting opposite her, Valentin grabbed a silver fork, picked up a small piece of cake, and offered it to her, “Want a taste?” 

Ashley glanced at him and turned her head away. 

She pondered, ‘We’re in the middle of a one-sided breakup. I’m not falling for your sweet gestures.’ 

Valentin slightly raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help but chuckle softly. He then persistently offered the cake to her. 

Ashley turned her head away again. 

Valentin continued to offer the cake to her as if he wouldn’t give up until she tried it. He persisted, holding his hand up, and said with a low, husky voice and a smile, “Ashley, I spent a long time making this. Just one bite? 

Hm?” 

Ashley paused, then opened her mouth and bit down fiercely. 

The moment the flavor hit her tongue, her clear eyes lit up. 

Ashley thought, This is delicious! How is his cooking so good?” 

Just as Ashley was about to ask Valentin how he learned to bake, but remembering she was still in a one-sided breakup, she hesitated and fell silent again, visibly annoyed. 

Charmed by her adorable reaction, Valentin let out a soft chuckle, sensually saying, “I learned it from way back.” 

Back then, he and Ashley hadn’t fallen out.
