Chapter 713


    Chapter 713 You Have Already Earned My Respect


    The food in the cafeteria was truly amazing. Jenny was satisfied, and she praised Alfred. “You’re great


    at your job. Even the food in the cafeteria tastes good. You’re really putting a lot of effort into this.’


    “Of course. After all, Ie here every day.’ He was all alone. Eating in the cafeteria was the most


    convenient thing for him to do.


    Jenny felt embarrassed. ‘What if L.get you an assistant? Don’t tire yourself out.”


    “It’s fine. I don’t need one yet. If the workload bes too much, I’ll figure it out.” He had the final say


    in whatever happened in thepany. Jenny wouldn’t even know if he had hired one, or several,


    assistants.


    “Okay. You’ll have to go by your judgment. Take care of yourself because I’m putting thispany in


    your hands. Who else is going to handle it if something happens to you?” She said it sincerely, but in


    Alfred’s ears, they sounded unpleasant. He red at her in a huff and said, ‘I’m just a tool to you, aren’t


    I?”


    “Uh…”


    “I thought we were friends.” Alfred smiled bitterly. He probably overestimated how much Jenny thought


    of him.


    Jenny nodded at once and said sincerely, “Of course we’re friends.”


    “Really?* He didn’t believe it.


    “Really.” Jenny nodded. There were no lies spoken. Although she had hired him with the intention of


    using him, that was a long time ago. She had alreadypletely trusted him. She would not have


    entrusted thepany to him otherwise.


    Alfred smiled when he saw her nod. He felt better at once. ’Well, it seems that my efforts have not been


    wasted.”


    “Of course not. You have already earned my respect.” Jenny no longer talked about this. She thought


    of Mortimer and said, “Is your father…still in the hospital?’


    “Yeah.” Alfred’s face was expressionless.


    “I thought that you would be on good terms with him.” After all, Mortimer had abandoned Alec and his


    mother for Alfred and his mother. Alfred had experienced the love that Alec had not. They should be on


    good terms.


    Now, it seemed that wasn’t the case.


    Alfred ate his food, saying nonchntly, “I know what you’re thinking, but the truth is that he never


    really loved my mother all those years they were together. They fought a lot, and after each fight, he


    would y the victim and say he had given up a lot for us.


    He never really loved me. At most, I saw him every day, but I really preferred not to. At least. I’d be free


    to think of a father in whatever manner I liked.”


    He and Alec felt differently about Mortimer. Alfred did not hate him. He was merely indifferent.


    That was the first time Jenny heard him say so much about Mortimer. She was feeling a mixture of


    emotions. She suddenly felt that whatever Mortimer was experiencing right now was karma. He had


    wronged too many people. Perhaps this was what he deserved.

    They did not talk about it anymore. At this moment, Jade came to the cafeteria to eat as well.


    She and Alfred were not alike. She didn’te there often, preferring to cook at home.


    “Jenny? Why didn’t you tell me that you wereing?” Jade came over with her te of food,


    comining.
