Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

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?”
