"The company provides accommodations for the employees. You can move in there tomorrow. That way, you won't be late." This was Jenny's ultimate goal. Ever since Felicity moved in, Jenny was less eager to return home. Alec had come to cook just once and then had brought her out to eat every time afterward.It was alright for a few days, but it couldn't be a long-term solution.Felicity refused at once. "A dormitory? Never!"Perry Residences wasn't some sort of luxury resort, but it was still in an affluent area. She was used to this place. She didn't want to go to a measly dorm. Besides, if she stayed there, she would no longer have the chance to see Alec. She'd never have a shot."Never? Alright. You can pack up and go back to Orchid Village." Jenny couldn't be bothered to keep arguing. She turned to go to her room."Jenny!" Felicity was so mad that she stomped her foot.Jenny didn't even look her way and closed her door shut. Jenny sighed, ignoring Felicity. She only gave Felici
Jenny didn't think she'd see such a scene when she walked out. She was worried that Felicity had run away; it would be hard to explain to her uncle if that happened. But now she was kind of enjoying it."Hear me out, Jenny." Alec didn't care about whether he would hurt Felicity and shoved her away. He went up to Jenny quickly, wishing he could just get rid of Felicity. "It's not what you think. I have no feelings for her at all. She threw herself at me."Jenny said nothing. She glared at Felicity sprawling on the floor. "What are you doing? Aren't you embarrassed enough?"Felicity got up, biting her lip. "Alec, I know you're just afraid that Jenny will take things the wrong way. You like me, don't you?"Alec's face darkened. His gaze was terrifying. "You only have yourself to blame for spouting nonsense.""Alec…aargh!" Before she could say anything else, Alec lifted her and slammed her against the glare. Alec's glare was as sharp as a knife. "You don't want to live anymore, do y
Jenny felt the need to clarify something with Felicity. "Do you perhaps have a twisted perception of yourself? Do you think Alec would fall in love with you if I were out of the picture?"Where did her narcissism come from? All the rich and beautiful girls in Parrington couldn't catch Alec's eye. Why would he be infatuated with Felicity? Did she think she was a goddess?"How would you know?" Felicity refused to admit that she lacked charisma.Jenny decided not to argue with her. There was no point gobbling with turkeys. "Move to the dorms tomorrow. I don't want to see you when I come home." Jenny entered her bedroom and slammed the door shut. Felicity jumped out of her skin and cried pitifully. She whipped out her phone and called her mother. "Mom, they're all picking on me…"…In La Vie Jen Rose, Jenny came early in the morning to try on the altered clothes. She smiled once she put them on."It's good. Much better than before." At least it would work on different body types no
Alec was already waiting at the door when Jenny arrived at the bar."I knew you wouldn't have the heart to leave me here alone." He smiled, walking toward her. He took Jenny's bag and led her inside."Don't be so presumptuous. I'm here to keep an eye on you so that you won't go behind my back." Jenny followed Alec as they made their way to the second floor.Alec wasn't angry at her remark. Instead, he nodded in agreement. "That's good. I do need someone to keep an eye on me."If Jenny hadn't come, his buddies would have gotten him some female escorts. Although he wasn't interested, he would feel uncomfortable with strangers sitting beside him. Fortunately, she showed up.As they pushed open the door to the private room, everyone inside looked at them. Alec led Jenny in and introduced her as his girlfriend. The group chuckled and greeted her. Jenny smiled and greeted them back.Alec introduced each of them in turn. "From left to right, they are Lance Quealy, Spencer Nixon, and Yos
Yosef's face turned pale with anger. He glared at Jenny as if she was his sworn enemy. Jenny, however, remained calm and smiled back at him. She didn't think he could do anything to her with Alec around. Taking note of his small physique, Jenny knew he was no match for her, even if they were to fight."Enough, Yosef!" Spencer walked over and pulled him back. He looked at Jenny apologetically. "Don't mind him. He's always been like this and doesn't know how to talk nicely.""If he doesn't know how to, he should go home and learn, not come here to make a fool of himself," Jenny retorted, not caring whether she stepped on Spencer's toes.She promised to be Alec's girlfriend because she was attracted to him, not because of his money. Therefore, she didn't care about offending his friends. Spencer was surprised at how tough Jenny was, seeing as she didn't back down one bit. He looked at Alec for help, but he just drank his alcohol and watched everything unfolding as if it was a show.Wh
Yosef was so scared that he couldn't speak, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly. He'd known Alec for many years, but this was the first time he'd seen him behave in such a way. Hence, he was understandably quite taken aback."Listen to me—if you say one more thing you shouldn't say, I'll make the Jones family disappear from Parrington. Do you understand?" After he was done with his warning, Alec simply threw Yosef aside. He then washed his hands and left.Yosef lay on the floor for a while before he came to his senses and cursed, "Alec! You bastard!"Alec returned to the private room first, but it took a while before Yosef came back after him. Everyone noticed that Yosef seemed perturbed, but no one asked him about his condition.Jenny glanced at Alec and asked quietly, "Did you teach him a lesson?""Hmm." Alec didn't deny it. "He had it coming. He shouldn't have been rude to you.""It's okay. I'm not angry. You don't need to make a fuss about it." Yosef was his friend, aft
Jenny didn't hear any response from Alec. She raised her head and found that he'd fallen asleep again at some point and hadn't heard her at all. Jenny sighed but didn't wake him up. She slowly got up, made sure that Alec was tucked in comfortably, and then left.The next day, the first thing Jenny did when she woke up was check on Alec. She was worried, so she didn't return the key last night but held on to it.When she opened the door and entered, she saw no signs of activity and assumed that Alec hadn't gotten up yet. Therefore, she went straight to the bedroom.The moment she pushed open the door, she was greeted by the sight of Alec's muscular back. He wasn't wearing a shirt, and there were water droplets on his tanned skin. He seemed to have just taken a shower.Jenny couldn't help but gulp. "This body… He has the perfect physique!" she exclaimed wordlessly.The next second, Alec put on his bathrobe. Just as Jenny lamented not being able to continue admiring such a sight for
Because of how serious Alec was, Jenny didn't know how to broach the subject. She couldn't just outrightly say, "I think you're sick and should see a doctor." Although she had said those exact words before, she wasn't afraid of offending Alec or making him unhappy back then. Now, however, she hesitated, trying to find the right words."Don't worry, Jenny. Just tell me what you want to say. I won't get angry," Alec said, sensing her hesitation.Taking his words as encouragement, Jenny cut to the chase and asked, "Did you choose the style of this house yourself?"Alec smiled and stood up. He walked to the window to look at the street below. "Yeah. I used to like this kind of style. It made me feel comfortable."Jenny frowned. Before she could say anything, Alec asked, "Are you worried about me?"With a nod, Jenny said, "Don't you think it's too depressing and unsuitable to live in?" She'd felt uncomfortable since she stepped into his house last night. The complete darkness made he
