When Shawn went to Dresark back then, he did not manage to find out much about Xavier Pascal even with Quinn’s connections.He knew the Helters were powerful. As Xavier Pascal was the head of the Helters and considering that Dresark was Xavier’s territory, it was all too easy for Xavier Pascal to erase all traces of information he did not want known.Without waiting for Jenna to respond, Shawn got up and walked to his table before retrieving a photo from the bottom of the drawer.He showed it to Jenna. “Does it have something to do with her?”After coming back from Dresark, Shawn told Quinn everything but did not give him this almost completely burnt photo.The photo was so burnt that one could only vaguely make out that it was of a very beautiful young woman.Jenna looked at the photo and smiled. “Shawnie, I knew you were very smart, but I didn’t expect you to have guessed quite a few things without knowing anything apart from this incomplete photo.”“Now is still not the time.
Jenna went to the secretarial department, and seeing Carina buried in her work at her desk, she walked over and knocked on the table. “Want to have lunch together?”Carina did not even look up. “I’m busy. You should go ahead, President Radcliff.”Jenna had a bad feeling when she heard Carina’s tone.She reached out to tug on Carina’s arm and said softly, “Is work more important than I am? Am I worth less than your daily salary?“I haven’t seen you in four years and I miss you. Didn’t you miss me?”Carina finally looked up to glare at her. “How dare you say that? You left for four years, only leaving behind an email. Jenna Radcliff, don’t you think you’re too much?”“It’s all my fault. I was wrong.” Jenna pleaded. “Please let me treat you to lunch?”Carina was very angry and was planning on ignoring Jenna at first, but the secretarial department was not a good place to talk since her colleagues could come back at any time.With a harrumph, she picked up her bag and left with Jen
Jenna held her cup to her lips and sipped her coffee. Propping her chin on her hands, she looked at Carina. “What about you and Jacob? You’ve been married for so many years. Do you guys have any children yet?”“Nope.” Carina shrugged and said nonchalantly, “We’re still too young. It’s not good to have children yet.”She smiled wickedly at Jenna. “Now that you’ve given me a godson and a goddaughter for free, I’m even less inclined to have children!”“Still young? Jacob’s thirty-two, isn’t he?”Carina said, “Is thirty-two very old? Look at your President Forester. If you hadn’t gotten pregnant, he would still be childless at thirty-seven!”Jenna was speechless.Carina took a glance at the time on her phone and got up. “I’m so hungry. Let’s go have lunch now so that we don’t have to line up later. Let’s chat more over lunch!”“Sure.” Jenna paid for the coffee and left together with Carina.As they ate lunch, Carina talked non-stop. She even talked about how Jenna’s departure made
Jenna strode over, pulling on Jacob’s arm. “Dr. Tennyson, who are you shopping with here?”Jacob was pulled around to face her.He had seen from the news that Jenna was back and was not surprised to see her, but was not expecting to see Carina with her.When he saw Carina, he inexplicably felt a little guilty. “This is my friend. I happened to bump into her here.”He had come to get something from one of the stores and had not expected to bump into her here.The appearance of Carina and Jenna attracted the girl’s attention.Her heart-shaped face was youthful and she looked not older than twenty.The girl leaned toward Jacob and asked somewhat shyly, “Jake, do you know them?”When Jenna saw the girl’s deliberate acting, she rolled her eyes hard.She laughed coldly and looked at Jacob. “Aren’t you going to introduce us, Dr. Tennyson?”Jacob rubbed the bridge of his nose and could only helplessly say, “This is my friend, Beth Jugson.”Then he introduced them to that girl named
Beth quickly walked forward, saying timidly, “I’m sorry, Jake. It’s all my fault for making Miss Carina angry. I’ll apologize to her.”Some loathing arose in his heart and Jacob was disgusted by her actions.However, at the thought that she was the only child of the Jugsons, he could not be angry with her and he rubbed a hand over his cheek that had gone numb.“There’s no need to apologize. It’s got nothing to do with you.”Jacob took out a card from his pocket and handed it to the girl. “You can buy whatever you want. I still have to go back to the hospital for a night shift.”“Okay.” The girl took the card and obediently nodded.After Carina helped Jenna out of the mall, it unexpectedly started raining outside.She asked worriedly as she held Jenna’s hand, “Are you okay, Jen?”“It’s fine. It’s just a fall.” Jenna felt that her hand did not hurt anymore. “You didn’t know that girl either?”Carina shrugged and said nonchalantly, “He’s got so many friends, so it’s not weird tha
“I don’t think the person you’re waiting for will be done so soon. So, you can just send Jen back and come back to pick your friend up,” Carina said.“Quinn, my Jacob is such good friends with you. Can’t you help take care of his wife’s best friend?”After a moment of silence, Quinn opened the car door and got out.Once Jenna got in with all her shopping bags, he closed the door and walked around the car to the driver’s seat, instructing Sam, “It’s not safe for Carina to head back alone, so call a cab and escort her back.”Sam knew Quinn was not truly concerned about Carina’s safety heading back alone. However, he could not say anything and silently got out of the car.After Quinn drove off with Jenna, Carina happened to get a call.“Sam, my friend’s waiting for me at the car park opposite, so I’ll go back with her. Bye!” Carina found an excuse and left in a hurry.Once she was away from Sam, Carina once again took out her handphone and called that number.“Well?”After the
Jenna nuzzled her face into Quinn’s shoulder, her voice lilting with the slightest hint of suggestiveness.Quinn could feel the place she nuzzled start to heat up and his breath hitched, but his gaze remained clear as he pulled Jenna away by the neck.Jenna unrelentingly leaned back in, kissing him.Then, she suddenly bit fiercely down on his lower lip with her teeth until she tasted blood. Only then did she back off.“You bit my lip last night and because of that, I couldn’t even apply lipstick today.” Jenna wiped away the blood on his lip. “So, I had to get back at you for that!”“Send one of your helpers my way tomorrow. Just tell me what you want, okay?”Quinn pushed away her wandering hands and said calmly, “If you can give me what I want, it’s a deal.”“Don’t worry, President Forester. I can give you whatever you want.” Jenna smiled faintly.She pushed open the door and got out, quickly taking out her loot from earlier that day from the backseat.When she saw the Tom For
Sam looked at Jenna and was silent for a long moment.Then, he put down his teacup and got up from the sofa. “I hope you’ll be able to do as you say. I’ll take my leave first.”Jenna got up to walk him out.After closing the door, Jenna’s expression crumbled, sighing to herself that if Quinn fell for someone and married them, she would not interfere.However, when that time came, that meant that she and Quinn were over.“Miss Radcliff.” Mrs. David was standing in the dining area and called out to Jenna, “Breakfast is ready. I’ll go clean the bedroom now.”Jenna came back to her senses and walked over to her quickly. “There’s no need to rush. I want to chat with you a little.”She sat down at the dining table and started eating her breakfast, praising Mrs. David’s cooking skills before asking, “Mrs. David, how many years have you worked at Sparrow Garden?”“Three years,” Mrs. David answered truthfully. Before coming here, President Forester told Mrs. David that from now on, Je
