Chapter 388


    Chapter 388 Don’t Listen to Him


    The door opened to Alec standing before it, much to Christopher’s surprise.


    “What are you doing here?”


    “Why are you here?”


    Both men spoke up simultaneously, surprised by the other’s response.


    Alec’s expression darkened. He stormed past Christopher to find Jenny eating instant noodles at the


    dining table. She had been looking forward to seeing him, too; it had been a while since they had spent


    time together.


    Christopher closed the door and sat down in front of Jenny. “Do you want something to eat, Mr. Faust?


    Jenny can make another bowl for you.”


    Alec gritted his teeth, very upset with what was going on. He had rushed over after hearing what


    happened to La Vie Jen Rose Designs just to console her. But here she was, holed up with


    Christopher, having dinner together. Who knows what would’ve transpired if he hadn’t been here in


    time?


    The rage in his chest was aze. He had held on all these days just to prevent Mortimer from hurting


    Jenny.


    What had she been doing, hm? Turning her attention elsewhere, apparently. She probably hadn’t


    worried about him, either.


    Sensing all was not well with Alec, Jenny said to Christopher, “Are you done with your food? Get out,


    then.”


    “Really, Jen? After what we just…” Christopher hesitated, looking upset.


    Jenny knew he had said that deliberately to get Alec fired up. “What the heck are you on about? We


    didn’t do anything, so don’t try to pull something!” She strode over to the door and opened it, wishing


    she could drag Christopher out herself.


    Painnced in Alec’s chest as he watched them “flirt.” He hade here for nothing.


    “That’s enough!” he growled and left the apartment without a second thought. He shouldn’t havee


    there and ruined his expectations.


    Jenny’s heart immediately plunged. She red at Christopher, then ran after Alec into the elevator.


    “Don’t listen to him. He’s only saying that to split us up.”


    Alec bit his lip. He knew, of course, but Jenny shouldn’t have given him a chance to do so in the first


    ce or even let him into her home. What if Christopher had done something to her?


    “Are you done with work?” Jenny asked, trying to change the topic, but his continued silence irritated


    her. “Do you really think you have the right to be this upset over one little thing when you were away for


    a week, Alec Faust?” she said sternly.


    Alec froze in ce. He turned back to find Jenny looking away, pouting angrily. Regret welled in his


    chest. He was the one who let things turn out this way in the end.

    With a sigh, he reached over to pull Jenny close. “I’m sorry. I’ve been really busy with work. I didn’t


    mean to neglect spending time with you.”


    “Busy? Busy with what?” Jenny knew Alec didn’t have a good reason, given not much had been going


    on with the Faust Group.
