    Chapter 1162 I Like How Things Are Right Now


    Jenny finally had free time after Jade and Max’s wedding. Thankfully, the holiday wasing to an end


    as well, which meant she would be returning to work at the hospital, sparing her from the boredom of


    staying at home.


    “Dr. Walter, are you back from the holiday?” When she got back to the department office, she was


    greeted by many. She nodded and responded to them. She much preferred the environment in the


    hospital. While there waspetition sometimes, most staff were focused on their patients and didn’t


    engage in workce drama.


    On the first day of her return, she had to meet a seemingly endless number of patients. The


    consultations went on until 7 pm. The sudden busyness tired her out, but she felt exhrated at the


    same time.


    “Are you done with work?” Alec showed up at the door when she wasn’t looking. He was dressed in a


    grey coat and was leaning against the door frame. Looking at him from afar, he had a distant quality


    that would keep people away from him. Only Jenny knew that he was cold on the outside but


    passionate within.


    She changed out of her white doctor’s robe and walked up to him. “Yeah. Let’s go. I’m hungry.”


    “Okay. Are you tired?” he asked with concern when they left the hospital.


    She shook her head-the day’s work wasn’t too tiring for her. “I like how things are right now.”


    Soon, they left the hospital. McKenna and Derrick showed up from a corner, and she remarked, “Didn’t


    I say that Jenny Walter would choose a man who’s a match for her socially? Look, I was right.”


    “Yes, yes, babe, you were right.” Derrick had no idea why she had to bring up the topic.


    “So, have you totally given up on her?” she pressed on.


    Looking dumbfounded, he surrendered and said, “Oh god, I did not have any feelings for her anymore.


    Why wouldn’t you believe in me?” McKenna had harped on the question multiple times, and he assured


    her as many times, but she didn’t seem convinced.


    She pouted and looked in the direction where Jenny and Alec had left. “It’s not that I didn’t trust you. I


    think it’s normal to fall for her because she’s such a ster woman.” She would have fallen for Jenny if


    she were a man.


    “Does that mean you’d fall for Alec Faust since he’s an outstanding man?” Derrick countered with a


    little annoyance.


    “What nonsense! I didn’t even know him,” she refuted. Although Alec was a capable and good-looking


    man, she didn’t feel anything for him.


    Derrick held her hand and said, “See? You won’t fall for someone easily just because of their


    credentials. Don’t fret over this again, alright?”


    He had nothing but regrets for his previous interest in Jenny. He had merely wanted to leech off her


    because of her social standing, but his n backfired.


    As for McKenna, he admitted that he first cozied up to her because she was the daughter of a hospital


    department director, but now…


    He stared at the woman in his arms as his gaze softened. He had no idea who was the predator or the


    prey in this game of love between them anymore.


    Once Alec brought Jenny back home, he immediately started prepping dinner in the kitchen. She


    followed suit and offered to help, adding, “You don’t have to go through this fuss. We can dine out orContent ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    get a private chef to help.”


    “No, it’s no trouble at all. I like cooking dinner for you,” he replied while washing the greens.


    She was taken aback for a while before she chuckled, thinking, “This man is in flirting mode at any


    time.”
