Chapter 62
Chapter 62 She Couldn't Take It Anymore
Alec left determinedly. Jenny believed she had truly offended him this time, but she didn't care.
She picked up the fork and knife to dig in but was interrupted once again by a figure who took the seat across from her. She was about to protest, thinking it was Alec, then she realized it wasn't him, but another person who would equally ruin her appetite.
"Dr. Walter," Faye chirped. Jenny was speechless by how she was ambushed by Alec, and now Faye. When could she eat in peace?
"Miss Lawrence, please get straight to the point. I need to have my lunch." She made no attempt to mask. her irritation. She didn't like that woman in the first place. Plus, she couldn't get over the fact that the Lawrences played a role in the incident, which made her trend on Twitter against her will. She was gracious enough not to tell Faye to get lost.
Faye's expression crumbled a little. Her mood had been affected earlier because Alec refused to have lunch with her. When shopping with friends, she ran into Alec and Jenny having lunch. Apart from feeling wronged, she also harbored a strong resentment for Jenny.
"Alec wouldn't have rejected me had it not been for this woman," she fumed silently. Furthermore, she felt oddly threatened by the fact that Jenny was his ex-wife, which led her to approach and check out her rival.
"Dr. Walter, you seem quite close to Alec, aren't you?" she asked, nonplussed, but her fists were tightly clenched under the table.
That question did not surprise Jenny, for there was no other reason aside from Alec that would make Faye confront her. She leaned back, shook her head, and chuckled softly. "And how did you come to that conclusion?"
"So, you..."
"I thought I had made myself clear last time. You still look worried, though." There was a gleam in Jenny's eyes as she went on, "But why? Has he not given you reasons to trust him?" Faye stared at the floor and bit her lip. Not only did Alec not provide any reason for her to trust him, but he never considered her a love interest-more like a sibling.
Since Jenny was misled about the relationship between them, Faye didn't plan to clarify things and went. along with it. "Yeah, I can be quite insecure. Alec is a great man, and I naturally worry that he might fall for other women."
"Miss Lawrence, stop acting so small. No matter how perfect he is, he's just a human being. You don't have to lower yourself for him." Despite all of Alec's perfections, Jenny still harbored a dislike for him. "Does that mean you're not interested in him?" Faye pressed on for confirmation.
Jenny instantly gave up on her because the woman was stuck in her rigid mindset. She advised, "Your mindset is wrong. I'd suggest you cool down for now. You can't be interrogating every woman he came
across.
Faye was quiet, but there was a ruthless look in her eyes. She decided that Jenny must have feelings for Alec, given how she dodged her question.
She could not take it anymore. She came to a decision and looked up, all smiles. "I'll take your advice into consideration." Then, she stood up and hurried out of the restaurant, leaving a flabbergasted Jenny
behind.
"What was that? Did Faye really meet me for that short conversation?" she wondered.
Standing outside The Crispy Buns, Faye checked that she was out of Jenny's field of vision before making
a call. "Money is not an issue. Ruin her reputation."
