Jenny watched Alec disappear from her sight, tears burning in her eyes. She wiped them away before they could fall and went back into her apartment.Christopher stood in the corner, watching the scene unfold and feeling unbearably awkward. He had never expected the two to break up just because he stayed at Jenny's for dinner. He also didn't expect to feel this terrible seeing his original goal accomplished."Are you…alright? I promise I didn't do it on purpose," he muttered, shying away from Jenny's eyes. She walked past him and into her apartment, not saying anything. Christopher ran after her hurriedly. "I really didn't expect you two to—"Jenny shot back coldly, "It's nothing to do with you." Even if he hadn't been there, they would've broken up when the topic of her being a substitute was raised.Christopher sighed with relief. "They wouldn't have broken up just because I stuck around for instant noodles," he thought.Jenny went straight into the elevator while Christopher fol

"C-cameras…?" Felicity stuttered. "Cameras in her own home? Is Jenny some kind of a control freak?" she thought.Jenny chuckled, showing her cousin the clip of her sneaking into her study. "I feel so sorry for Uncle David, Felicity."She had really hoped her cousin would turn over a new leaf.Felicity gaped at the video, then stammered out, "S-so what? You can't prove that I gave it to Yvonne!"Clearly, she had prepared herself for a confrontation.As if expecting the answer, Jenny showed her another footage. "This is when you stole the finished clothing from the warehouse.""You…"And another one. "This one's when you met with Yvonne's assistant in person, handing her the materials. What else can't I prove, dear cousin?""..."Felicity was truly slack-jawed now. "Where did Jenny get her hands on all this footage? She doesn't have personal cameras in the public street where she met with Yvonne's assistant, right? What kind of skill sets does Jenny have?" These thoughts were ru

Jenny came out from the surgery room exhausted."Here." Christopher offered a bottle of water to her, but she didn't take it."Why are you here?" she asked, thinking if the man couldn't leave her alone for once."Just worried about you." He smiled, following her to her office.Jenny sat back in her chair, resting. "I'm fine. Nothing to worry about.""Are you sure you're fine?" Christopher sat down opposite her. "You don't need to act tough, you know."Jenny glared at him, too lazy to speak."Breakups are bound to hurt. But you know what they say, time and rebounds are the best way to make it through." Christopher grinned. "So why don't you reconsider being with me? I'm way better than Alec Faust, let me tell you that."Jenny wanted to hit him, but she held back. "How many times do I need to tell you? I don't like you. Have you never taken me seriously?"She hadn't been interested in Christopher once, and that wouldn't change even if Alec weren't in the picture."Things change

"It's me." The reply came through. Jenny could hear the warmth in Gilbert's voice, soothing her gentle heart."How've you been? When are you coming home?" she asked kindly, not asking other things like why he hadn't called her for some time or whether he had finally let her go."I've been well. The branch here's had a good start, so it'll be some time before I go back," he said. Jenny smiled and was about to speak when Gilbert asked, "I heard you broke up with Alec?"He didn't know when they got together; all he heard was they had broken up.Jenny's smile fell just the slightest at his question. "Oh, you heard about that too?""The news had even made it internationally, huh?" Jenny thought.Unbeknownst to her, Gilbert had actually been catching up with her life updates from overseas. He had instructed Zack as well as some bodyguards to watch after her from the sidelines, none of this made known to Jenny herself."It's really big news, Jenny. I couldn't have not heard," Gilbert t

Morgan nodded, finding some truth in Jenny's words. "My dad wants me to let you know that things have settled down in the company, Jenny. We'll be sure to turn out profits for you with your investment."Jenny laughed. "Alright. I trust you guys.""Why don't we have lunch toge—""Done with work, Jenny? Let's have lunch," Christopher cut in, appearing from thin air like those weird gnomes in peoples' gardens.Morgan paused and glanced at him. It wasn't the first time she had seen this man. Her heartbeat increased in pace as she gazed at his face. She quickly shook her head, tossing that idea to the back of her mind. Christopher liked Jenny. She'd never dreamed of competing with her.Jenny didn't know what was going on in Morgan's mind, but her smile faded upon hearing Christopher's suggestion. "No need. I'm busy?""Busy? With what?" Christopher knew she was rejecting him on purpose. He wasn't upset, though. In fact, he was determined to stick around.It made Jenny's hackles rise.
