Semua Bab To Be Yours Again: Bab 231 - Bab 240

The others instantly felt conflicted when they saw Jenny's ruthlessness. Some were happy because a strong boss like her would guarantee an improved company. Some were worried that ruffling the feathers of these designers would not be good for the company—they might even come back to bite it.Jenny didn't explain further. There wasn't much that she could say to help. Only good results would win their trust.The meeting ended. Jenny handed the business plan she had long prepared to the clerk next to her and said, "From today onward, you will be my assistant.""Me? Miss Jenny, I…" She couldn't quite believe it."Do you think you can't do it?" Jenny looked at her. "If you think you can't, just forget what I said." She was willing to give her a chance, but if she didn't want it, Jenny would not force her to take it.The clerk was stunned, and her face shifted at once. "I can do it! Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will not disappoint you."Jenny smiled in satisfaction. "Alr

Jenny raised her glass in the restaurant to toast the woman in front of her. "Thanks for agreeing to see me, Jade.""You don't have to be so polite with me, Jenny. I've said before that I can help you whenever you need it." Jade Weston raised her glass and clinked it against Jenny's."I know, but I was afraid I'd be bothering you. You were going into hiding…""That was such a long time ago. Maybe no one even remembers me. You're worrying too much." Jade smiled, reminiscing her past. It couldn't haunt her now.Hearing Jade's reassurance, Jenny's concerns dissipated slightly. She told Jade about the company and said, "I hope you'll come help manage this company, Jade. After all, you were once in this industry.""It's no big deal. I can do it." Jade nodded. Managing a company was her bread and butter. "However, it's a design company. It prioritizes designing. You can count on me for the business part of things, but design, on the other hand…"Jenny looked at her, widening her eyes i

Ex-husband?Jade began looking at Alec differently. No wonder she thought something was off between Alec and Jenny."Hello, Miss Jade," Alec said exasperatedly.Jade didn't smile at him. "Don't call me that," she sneered. "We're not close." She didn't know much about Jenny's marriage, but she knew a little bit, at least. She knew that Alec hadn't even visited Jenny once in their marriage. It had angered not only her, but also the entire village.Alec saw the murderous gaze she was wearing, and his heart sank. He said grimly, "I was wrong. I didn't cherish Jenny. But now I know what I did wrong, so I wish to make up for it. I hope that she'll give me another chance."However, Jade wasn't moved by his speech. In fact, she was a little angry. "What do you take her for? Do you think she owes you a chance just because you're ashamed?""I…""The Fausts of Parrington. I've heard of you. Your family is great, but your character is nothing much to talk about." Jade was not holding hers

The sudden ringing of a phone startled the both of them. Jenny came back to her senses and pulled away from Alec's lips."What's wrong, Gilbert?" she said, answering the call."Where are you? Are you alright?" Gilbert's voice sounded from the other end. He sounded anxious, worried.Jenny frowned. She sensed that something was wrong with him. "What's wrong, Gilbert? What happened?""Nothing…nothing." Gilbert was tripping over his words. He didn't know how to explain himself."What on earth happened?" Jenny was not a fool. She could tell from Gilbert's tone that something had happened.Gilbert was quiet. Then, he said, "It's really nothing much. I just fought with Marigold, and she might have gotten the wrong idea. I was worried that she would go for you.""A fight?" Jenny thought that was weird. Would Gilbert fight with someone? She'd never seen anything like that."It's just a misunderstanding. Well, if she goes to you, ignore her. Don't believe anything she says," Gilbert said

Jenny leaned against the door, hearing Marigold's thumps and knocks. Even after she left, Jenny stood frozen in her spot, unmoving.Gilbert…Jenny tried hard not to think about what Marigold had said. She told herself that it wasn't real, that Gilbert was just her brother, that he wouldn't mix up his feelings for her. But then, she couldn't calm down. Her memories with Gilbert flashed before her like a movie. His actions, the look in his eyes… She realized the signs were all there, but she hadn't thought of him that way, which was why she never noticed. And now, after being rudely exposed, she realized that she couldn't lie to herself.She slid down the door and buried her head in her arms. A throbbing pain permeated her heart.Alec appeared outside the door. He'd waited a long time for Jenny's lights to turn on, and had begun to worry for her safety, so he came up to look. He just so happened to hear Marigold's words.He hadn't come forward to stop her because he thought Jenny
