"No. Mr. Farley, you got me wrong." Zoey smiled and looked gamine. "I'm not a Smart Aleck. I am smart. Hester doesn't know much about you, but I do. Mr. Farley, I hope you don't treat others as fools."
Farley sneered, "If you are really smart, you'd better not encourage her to make any wrong decisions."
"Wrong decisions?" Zoey smiled slyly. "What do you mean?"
Farley narrowed his eyes, and he suddenly smiled too. "What do you think?"
"Well, I know. You're talking about that suggestion, right? I told Hester to stay away from you. But do you think that she will do whatever I say?" Zoey asked Farley with a smile.
