Jenny went down the plane. Right after doing so, applause sounded. She realized that the passengers hadn't left yet. They seemed to be waiting for her."Thank you," they said gratefully. Jenny was suddenly a little embarrassed. She wasn't too confident when it happened. If something terrible happened, she'd never make it up to all of them. Thankfully, she was lucky.After they left, Jenny was questioned by the police. After that, she finally left the airport. Alec followed by her side. He felt proud when he looked at her. This was the woman he loved. She was brilliant, shining bright like a star.Jenny was oblivious to his thoughts. All she wanted was to go home and sleep; she didn't want to think about anything else."Get into the car. I'll drive you home," Alec said. Vincent was waiting next to the car by the road. He admired Jenny from the start; now, she was like some otherworldly being.Jenny didn't refuse. She sat in his car, and they headed toward Parrington. The incid
Jenny walked out of the chairman's office, tired. She had a bunch of things waiting to be done, and now there was a new task on her list."Jenny." Morgan went to her side cheerfully, eyes shining. "Was it really you on the plane?""How I wish it wasn't." She wished that someone on the plane knew how to fly. That way, she wouldn't have had to take over, and something like this wouldn't happen.Morgan placed her hands on her face. "You're a hero! Why are you so sad?""I'm not a hero. I was just forced to fly it." Thank God nothing had happened. If it had, millions of people would be cursing her right now.Morgan knew that Jenny disliked situations like this, and she comforted her. "It's okay. The people online have the memory span of a goldfish. They'll forget it all in just a few days.""Hopefully so," Jenny said.She said little else to Morgan and changed into scrubs, preparing herself for the upcoming surgeries. She didn't mind what people did as long as it didn't bother her.
He secretly blamed Yvonne, too. If it weren't for her influence, he wouldn't have sold his shares, and if it weren't for her insistence on starting a business, the money wouldn't have all been gone. They wouldn't have had to move to a place like this.Yvonne could hear the blame in his words, and she instantly scowled. "What? Are you blaming me?""No." Sam walked to the sofa and sat down. He suddenly realized that Yvonne wasn't as great as he had imagined. But he still loved her, so he didn't say it out loud. He was only venting."Look at you. You're useless." Yvonne didn't hold back. She was upset with him for a long time. "Why don't you get a job and earn some money? Am I going to raise you?" Yvonne roared. She regretted marrying him.Sam was feeling angry, too. "Me, working a job? Never.""Are you planning to rot away like this for the rest of your life? Waiting for me to work?" Yvonne's tone was heavy.Sam said nothing. He would never go to work. If those friends of his found
"I'm not hungry," Jenny refused. She was feeling tired and wasn't in the mood to eat with Alec.His face shifted slightly after being rejected. He was a little embarrassed. "You can't upset your stomach. You need to eat something, at least."In his eyes, Jenny wasn't hungry. She just didn't want to eat with him, which made him sad. Thankfully, he had thick skin. Otherwise, he would have turned and left."Are you less busy nowadays?" Jenny asked.Alec nodded. "Almost everything is settled."Jenny's phone rang; it was Jade. Jenny was a little surprised. She accepted the call, and Jade immediately asked, "Are you free tonight, Jenny?""Yes. What's up?" Jenny ignored Alec's presence. It wasn't as if he was here on serious business. Of course she'd say she was free.Jade didn't know about Jenny's situation. She said at once, "There's a brilliant person applying for a job at the company. I'd like you to look him over. And if you think he's alright, I'd like to make him the vice presid
His question was giving Jenny a headache. She didn't answer him outright, merely asking, "Would you give up even if I said no?"Alec shook his head at once. "I'd never give up, even if you don't give me a chance."Jenny laughed. "So why are you asking this question?" He was going to persist anyway. He needn't ask if there was to be a conclusion.Alec understood, but he still felt uncertain. He said nothing more and drove on. Soon, the car stopped at La Vie Jen Rose Designs. Jenny didn't linger for long. "Thank you," she said. "No problem. Call me if you need anything," he said like always, despite knowing that Jenny wouldn't call if something happened.Jenny waved at him, then went into the building. Alec watched her leave before driving away unwillingly.When Jenny reached Jade's office, only Jade was in there. She was surprised. "Didn't you say I was to meet someone? Where are they?""I got the assistant to bring him around the company. They'll be back soon. Have a seat." J
"Jenny?" Jade called out her name when she realized that Jenny wasn't responding. Could she be infatuated already?Jenny came back to her senses awkwardly. "Sorry. My mind drifted off."Alfred smiled, not taking it to heart.The assistant had gone, leaving the three of them in the office.Jade got Alfred to sit before briefly telling Jenny of his credentials. Once Jade was done, Jenny had to note how brilliant he was. No wonder he got Jade so excited."I'm curious to know, Mr. Faust. Based on your resume, you could have chosen a much better company. Why did you choose La Vie Jen Rose Designs?" He had to know it was a startup company, miles away from other commercial companies.Alfred wasn't surprised at the question. He smiled, saying, "I understand your concerns, Miss Jenny. But I think that talented people will be overshadowed in big companies. On the contrary, companies like yours, which have not matured yet, are able to showcase my talents."His words made sense. Jenny nodde
The more Jenny thought about it, the more creeped out she felt. If Alfred was Mortimer's illegitimate son, could it just be a coincidence that he wanted to work at La Vie Jen Rose Designs?She couldn't be blamed for overthinking. There were too many coincidences. It was weird, no matter how one looked at it."If I'd known earlier, I wouldn't have hurried the agreement." Jade was flustered. She had probably thought of his motives, too. If he was truly Mortimer's illegitimate son, working at La Vie Jen Rose Designs was a suspicious act.Jenny sighed. The agreement was already signed, so they couldn't go back on their word now. They couldn't just lose out on money like that."It's alright. We'll just observe if he has any ulterior motives. Keep an eye on him," Jenny instructed. They would handle anything thrown at them. She believed that they would catch him one day. Then, she added, "But don't make it too obvious. What if we're wrong? We'd just upset him.""I know." Jade nodded. How
He had said it very sincerely. Jenny had to admit that she was moved. She remembered all the good things he had done for her. She wouldn't forget them just because of a few lies."You should eat. It's late." Jenny didn't want to continue the topic.Alec didn't move. He looked at Jenny pitifully and said, "I thought you would be home early, so I made food for two.""What?" Now Jenny was really surprised."Yeah." Alec nodded. He was serious.Jenny didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't know what to say. It was unlike him."Well, since you made it, I'll have some of it." She wasn't hungry but didn't want to waste his good intentions. Besides, she couldn't watch him starve. She'd never forgive herself.She followed him into the house and realized the entire home had been refurbished. It was no longer pitch black like before; it was now warm and cozy.Alec saw her looking around and said meekly, "You agreed to help me with the makeover before. But then…"He didn't have to
