Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy

Rae left SV Hotel. She took a deep breath of the searing night wind and then walked along the road. She did have an appointment with Isabella, but she didn't want to go anymore. Rae was in bad mood after Nia brought her so much trouble. Not to mention that she already told Jensen that she wouldn't go home tonight, so he would probably not go back to the apartment tonight. She wouldn't care and couldn't care if he worked overtime at the office or planned to have fun tonight.

She just wanted a peaceful and quiet place tonight.

Rae didn't know why she didn't ask Jensen if what Eric said was true. Maybe she didn't want to ruin the peace between them right now with some things from the past. Anyways, she needed Jensen's help righ now, so she couldn't displease him.

Time passed and several days went by. The summer was getting hoter, and it's time for the reporters to suffer the strong sun in order to follow the news.

Rae didn't meet Jensen in the past few days. She heard from Reuben that recently nobody knew what Jensen was thinking. He invested a lot in the arms industry so he was super busy. He would only go home to take a shower and then head to the office. Rinse and repeat. Rae only knew that he was home when she saw the laundry getting piled up in the bathroom. They didn't meet even once. Though, she was also busy. In order to expand her business and overtake Ophelia, Rae even attended every socializing events and business dinners that she used to hate the most these days. Hence, she didn't get to see Jensen, as she left home early and returned late every day.

Not only she needed skills, but she also needed connections to do business nowadays.

Another night had passed.

Rae was going to attend another business dinner. The organizer ran a small entertainment company and wanted to invest a lot of money to train young handsome men who were promising. They wanted to request Rae to promote them online. To do a good promotion, Rae had to interact with her clients first to find out their tastes, so that she could introduce them well online and get the followers. She couldn't simply start working right after they signed the contract.

Otherwise, to be honest, if she promoted someone and it turned out that they performed badly, she would get into trouble.

The weather was too hot, so Rae put on a red dress with spaghetti straps and fiddled her long curly hair in front of the mirror. She then put on a bit of makeup to polish her facial features. When she was content, she left happily in her heels. She called Jensen's assistant to get her. Adam had been working for Jensen for a long time.

Rae got in the car and Adam's phone was ringing non-stop. She felt bad, "Hey, why didn't you say no to me when you are so busy? I could call a cab. I will tell Mr. Knight next time to get me a driver so that I won't bother you." Rae only called Adam because right now was a hard time to hail a cab and she didn't want to see her sweating by the roadside.

"It doesn't matter, just call me when you need me, Miss Jordan. This is part of my job," said Adam as he concentrated on driving.

"Hmm? How is driving Mr. Knight's secret lover around a part of your job? Remember to ask for a salary raise, don't let him take advantage of you," said Rae. She was just bored and said it without thinking. "You're not a secret lover, Miss Jordan. Please don't say that." Adam got anxious. Why did Miss Jordan still not know that Mr. Knight cared a lot for her? One time, when he was still new comer to the company, Mr. Knight arranged him to get Rae. Adam initially planned to send the documents first before going to Rae. Since it didn't seem like it was urgent as Mr. Knight told him that Rae was only tired from shopping. But Mr. Knight told him that things about Rae was the most urgent, even if the whole company would go bankrupt, he had to satisfy Rae first.

He was shocked by what Mr. Knight said and quickly went to get Rae.

When Adam first met Rae, he thought that she really gorgeous. However, besides her beauty in appearance, she also seemed nonchalant as if she cared nothing and wasn't afraid of anything. A beautiful lady with such a personality made people want to get close to her and understand her better.

Rae didn't say anything. She rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window. She said that without thinking and didn't want to hear any nonsense from him.

But Adam was afraid that Rae would stop requesting help from him and said seriously, "Miss Jordan, you have to call me whenever you need me. Oak may fall when reeds stand the storm. For Mr.Knight, he has a lot of enemies hiding out there. They almost had Mr. Knight a few days ago. So, if you want a drive, you must call me. Don't give the enemies any chances..."

"What did you say? Did Jensen get hurt?" Rae asked after hearing what Adam said.

The business that Jensen was doing only looked nice on the surface. The truth was that the Knight family had munitions business secretly. Jensen didn't want to get involved, but it was already part of their family business. He was a member of the Knight family and had to take part.

Adam knew that he said something wrong. He quickly shut up, not knowing if he should continue talking or not.

Mr. Knight would blame him if he said too much. But he felt sorry for Mr. Knight if he didn't say anything. Mr. Knight got hurt but his girl didn't know anything.

Rae was impatient with Adam who was hesitating too long. She said directly, "I'll get out of the car if you don't tell me what happened."

"...Okay. Well, when Mr. Knight went to purchase a batch of munitions, the seller took the chance to raise the price. There was an exchange of fire, and Mr. Knight got shot in the shoulder." Adam couldn't bear the pressure Rae imposed on him. He answered honestly but was afraid that Rae would get worried and hence he added, "Thanks God it was not so serious, The bullet didn't hurt his bones, so he's practically fine now."

After Rae heard what he added, she felt reassured.

No wonder she felt like the number of dirty clothes left at home didn't add up. Jensen was a neat freak and would change his clothes very often in the summer. But the laundry in the bathroom wasn't that much Jensen probably threw away some of his clothes with blood on them to prevent her from finding them out.

Rae felt bitter.

She remembered that when she was young, Stefan was also doing some munition business. Her impression of him was that he looked like the drug lords from the television, dark-skinned, muscular and scarred. But Jensen was different. He was white and chubby, and so cute and soft that he might be mistaken as a girl if he put on a dress. And what happened next was as expected. Stefan wasn't happy with Jensen, saying that his son shouldn't look like week. But Jensen's mother couldn't have another child due to her health condition, so Stefan had to train Jensen until he looked more like a man.

Rae heard many stories about it before and recollected one.

Stefan sent Jensen a dog when he was five. When Jensen turned seven, Stefan told him to kill the dog. And that wasn't the worse thing. Jensen was brought up without love, so now even when he got hurt he would just hide it. Rae thought about when she got sick, Jensen was always the one taking care of her. But now he got a bullet in his shoulder and she was the last one to find out. Sigh.

She was inadequate as his lover as she missed his sufferings.

Adam thought that Rae would call Jensen to ask about the incident. But her reaction was out of his expectation, Rae just sat there quietly in a daze, didn't even bother to ask more about how Mr. Knight was like. Adam felt sad since he thought that Mr. Knight deserved better as he thought about the attentive way Rae showed to Mr.Knight at the end of every month.

Very soon, Rae arrived at her destination.

She got out of the car and walked into the hotel. There was a bunch of people in the splendid hall, and she noticed her client in the crowd. The person saw her and walked towards her. Rae put on her fake smile and tried to forget about Jensen for the time being.

"Hey, Miss Jordan. You look very pretty tonight." The balding guy had a perverted look in his eyes as he looked at Rae.

"You turely know how to sweet talk. But don't think that I will give you a discount just because of your compliments," Rae joked but in her eyes there was something cold.

"Of course. If my boys really got famous, I will invite you personally to go on a holiday cruise to relax. How about that?!" The bald guy laughed with his eyes narrowed.

Rae slandered him in her heart. A cruise holiday with him? No way!

But she still maintained pleasant on the face.

"You three, come over here. Come let Miss Jordan take a good look. You guys will have a bright future ahead if she thinks you're good enough," said the bald guy as he waved his hand.

Rae did despise these stuff, but she knew that Ophelia liked to flirt with young men under these circumstances. The competition was tough nowadays and these boys weren't the only handsome men among others. They would do anything just to make themselves popular. That was the reason why outsiders often said that their moral standards of business was nonsense. Rae wanted to reject his invitation at first. But then she saw the three walking towards her, they looked handsome and nice. They were the same type as Jensen, but of course, Jensen was incomparable...

Her words of rejection got stuck in her throat.

Not many women could resist these handsome boys.

"Hello, Miss Jordan." "Miss Jordan." "Nice to meet you, Miss Jordan."

They said simultaneously.

"Listen, send friend requests to Miss Jordan on social media. You guys would better contact Miss Jordan in private, so that she can understand you better and offer great opportunities to you guys," said the bald guy.

The three guys hurriedly took out their phones.

Rae was still smiling, but she felt embarrassed in the inner side. She couldn't refuse and could only take out her phone. She felt like a pimp, not a manager. But what else could she do? If she didn't do so, her client would see no good faith from her and perhaps they would go to Ophelia instead. The moment she accepted them to be a part of her friend list, she felt a sharp gaze on her. Subconsciously, she raised her head and looked in that direction. She was surprised and stood numb there.

For some reason, Jensen appeared in the hall. He was standing by the entrance and was surrounded by a bunch of men in suits and female secretaries. Jensen stared straight at her, he was searching for explanation with his gaze. Well, she was now getting surrounded by three handsome guys and were exchanging the requests...

No matter how you looked at it, the situation now seemed weird and doubtful.

Rae subconsciously looked at Jensen's shoulder. She couldn't tell whether he recovered because his suit covered him up nicely. But seeing that he attended the business meetings as usual, he was pi Jbably not hurt that badly. Rae didn't want others to find out that she was thinking about Jensen, and hence she nodded at him from afar and thought that it was enough.

Jensen on the other hand got furious.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
