Cynical Quote by Judith McNaught
““Maybe I ought to do exactly what I told Nick I was going to do and pursue you myself." Lauren smiled. "I have a feeling you're as jaded and cynical as he is." He looked so stung that she added teasingly, "Well,you are-but still very attractive,for all that." "Thanks," he said dryly.””
