Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy

Ten minutes later.

"Is your companion gone, Rae? Why didn't you ask me to come down to accompany you? If Jensen hadn't told me, I wouldn't know that you're here alone." Reuben's voice shifted slowly from her back to her side, he picked up one of the empty wine glasses, looked at it and took a whiff. Then he put it down, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"I'm sorry, Reuben." Rae propped her head up with one hand. Her long hair was all messy due to her actions, and two strands of her hair even fell before her forehead, blocking her face. Rae raised her hand and tidied it simply, "Jensen made you lost so much of money."

"It's not..."

"He's too childish, since the Clark family have their eyes on this piece of land, he still wouldn't allow you to rent it to them. Is it really worth the effort just to feel good for once?" The more Rae thought of it the more she ached, feeling that with every second, money was just flowing out before her. She waved her hand and called for the waiter, knocking on her glass indicating for the same wine. "Did he feel like he would lose face being snatched of something by others? Please, this building doesn't have his name carved on it!"

Reuben did not speak immediately after he was interrupted, when Rae had finished mumbling her words, he felt that Rae might have misunderstood Jensen's intentions. Jensen felt that it was annoying being snatched of something, so he just asked him to do this. According to the Knight Group's market value, even if they went on the plan till Karina's birthday next year it still would not be a big trouble. But Jensen's annoyance was purely because of her and was never about his own reputation. As he saw it, Jensen's meaning now was that since he had not thought of a good way to completely settle the matter, he would adopt appropriate measures when Zain intended to fight.

Moreover, Zain would surely compromise first.

By Jensen's words, it was that Zain cared for Karina but he did not, so Zain would not ruin Karina's birthday over this matter of fighting with him. These words sounded rather logical, but at the moment when he heard it from Jensen's mouth, Reuben merely felt chilled to the bone. He was afraid that except Rae, anything could be destroyed in Jensen's eyes.

Reuben did not know either why Jensen would love so deeply, as if it was carved into his bones, if one day Rae was not together with Jensen...

Reuben did not dare to think.

After another while, Jensen came again.

"She drank so much, don't you know to stop her?" When Jensen arrived, Rae's table had a few more glasses than before. Her entire person was more drunk and her cheeks were reddened. Although it was dark inside, it did not stop others from seeing that her intoxicated situation now.

"Well," Reuben touched his nose and did not give a proper reply.

Jensen sat down on the tall chair on her left, as his right hand played with her long hair, he asked as if he was chatting casually, "Those gangsters are coming again, aren't they?" Reuben raised his arm, glanced at his watch and replied, "Seems like it's almost time."

"Why do you allow those people to mess around here, don't you have... have guns!" Rae suddenly raised her head from the table and interrupted. She was really drunk and did not know what not to say, as she shouted directly. Jensen bit lightly on the corner of her lip, and reminded her by her ear, "Don't simply shout this kind of words."

Rae instantly became more obedient and her voice became much smaller, asking, "Then why don't you bomb them directly?" In her eyes, Jensen was not such a passive person. Even if she was more arrogan and thought that he was doing this for her, but this overly tolerant personality was unlike Jensen either! The Jensen she knew would not allow people to bully him this way!

"Because," Jensen took the wine from the waiter's hand that was supposed to be passed to Rae, shook it and drank it in one shot. He put down the glass and finally answered, "I want him to give up himself." Zain must have wanted to play along with him as he thought he would surely take actions to halt it, but he would not do so, what was the meaning to just mess around like this? Since Zain surely cared more about Karina than he did, he would just allow Zain to mess around. Then he would let him give in himself, and make him go against his own words, allowing him to understand that these meagre tricks were nothing at all in his eyes.

"Have you heard of that only silence is the highest form of disregard. Just take no heed of him," Jensen waved to tell the waiter to leave and not to bring wine here anymore.

"... Impressive." Reuben heard these words and merely felt that his words was as icy as a piece of dry ice, radiating with chillness. Towards someone like Zain, nothing indeed would hurt him more than to ignore him, and then make him stop his actions due to the time factor. To Zain, this was surely more powerful than any other way to stop him.

"You're so despicable," Rae mumbled as she scolded. Feeling that her head was rather dizzy, she leaned directly onto Jensen's shoulder.

Jensen reached to hold onto her, preventing her from falling off. He spoke to Reuben, making rare small talk, "Ewan's son is a month old, what do you plan on gifting?"

"Urgh, stop mentioning it. My good friend's precious son was even more of a headache than treating my girlfriend. Should I just play his picture on the LED display outside the building on that night? " Reuben felt that it was overbearing, as he could not even consider giving clothes or toys. He had gone over the day when Ewan had his son, and his house was almost half full with these. But if he just gave money, it would seem rather insincere.

Rae was amused by Reuben's suggestion, as she sat up and replied, "If you dared to do so, then on that day I would let all the promotional accounts under me to post a photo of him, with the best wishes of growing up healthily."

"Stop it, be serious." Jensen heard their crazy ramblings and stopped them.

At the same time, he raised his hand and held on Rae's shoulder, letting her to continue leaning on himself.

"Then what do you plan to give?" Rae raised her gaze and asked, looking at his chin.

"I'll start a trust fund, naming it after him." As Jensen said this, he used his other hand to tug on the tie on his neck. She was like a fireball, when she leaned against him, even he felt hot as well.

แ

." Reuben felt that he was indeed so thoughtful.

"..." Rae felt that he was so darn rich.

The three that were chatting did not notice that they were long being watched by a person sitting in the booth in a far corner.

Karina did not quite believe what she saw with her own eyes. Her eyes blinked, disbelieving no matter how that Jensen was so close with Rae. For Jensen's coldness towards her, she almost could not believe that Jensen could be so close with another woman. He held her, and allowed her to lean against him, and even kissed her in such a public place! The two were as intimate as a couple passionately in love!

It was impossible for Rae to have no idea that she had a marital agreement with Jensen, this was known by almost all the people in this city. Yet since she knew, Rae had not mentioned anything at all before her...

And continued working together with her as usual.

Karina felt that she was completely played by the others!

Moreover, on the day of the exhibition she had felt that Jensen's lips looked weird. It was obviously kissed or it had been harmed maliciously.

But he had said that there was a bug. Oh right, and Rae was there as well that day.

Could they have...

Once she thought that the two of them had actually done something so disrespectful of art in such a heavily artistic environment, Karina felt that her entire body was shaking! More importantly, she felt that she had been humiliated greatly! Further, by the looks of it, Rae and Reuben knew each other quite well as well. Could that Reuben harmed his own benefit, and refused to rent his place for her to have her birthday party, be related to Rae as well?

"Are you alright, Karina?" Her friend felt that Karina's mood was not right, and she asked.

"Nothing, I saw someone I know. I'll go over to say hi," Karina held herself back and got up, walking towards the three.

Rae did not expect that she would meet Karina in such a time and place.

When she heard Karina's voice ringing behind her back, she was instantly alarmed and left Jensen's arms. She sat up with her back straight, as she explained unnecessarily with guilt. "I drank too much, my head is so dizzy."

"Please don't find any excuses, Miss Jordan, I've seen it all. Can you just kiss someone else simply just because you're drunk?" Although Karina tried hard to control herself, but she had not experience any troubles before and the expression on her face had long exposed her inside thoughts. She was holding back greatly.

Rae did not expect that Karina would be so direct. She went silent, and then found an excuse, "I'm going to the washroom."

"I'll go too," Reuben ran off as well.

But the two coincidentally turned and squatted down after they passed the bar at the same time curiously. Using the chair as a cover, they watched Jensen and Karina secretly. "Would this be quite bad of us?" Reuben asked while he watched.

"I feel that this is horrible as well, but I can't fight over my curiosity." Besides being curious, Rae was nervous as well. Before that, she was forced to pretend that she did not know her, since she could not just tell her once she met her that 'hey, I am your future husband's little mistress'? She wondered if Karina would suspect that she did it on purpose.

"Me too," Reuben shut up and continued watching.

Jensen had not much of a reaction from the beginning to the end. In fact, he felt that it was better for Karina to see for herself, so he would not have to waste the time to recount again.

"Jensen..." Karina saw that Jensen did not have anything to say to her, and this feeling made her more afraid. Actually, she did not know what she was afraid of as well. They had just met for a few times and were acquaintances at most and not even officially friends, yet her reaction was already over the normal emotions that she should have. Karina felt that her feelings towards Jensen had become deeper than she thought unknowingly.

Perhaps it was because she had finally met a man that matched all the requirements that she wanted in her significant other, after living for so long. The emotions in her heart suddenly found something to latch on, as she easily gave in all she had without her knowing it. When a person met something that was hard to meet, even if the person was originally soft in her character, they would harden up at this moment. Karin had never been surer than any moment before this moment, and she understood more clearly what she had wanted.

"Any problem?" Jensen asked when he clearly knew what was going on, as the fingers on his right hand tapped on the table habitually.

"You and Miss Jordan, you... the person that you brought supper back that night, was it her?" Karina knew that it was stupid of her to ask like this, but if Jensen had answered affirmatively, it would show that the relationship between Rae and Jensen were much more intimate than what she had seen!

They were actually living together!
