Chapter 21


    "I ordered steak. This is the best restaurant around. What else do you need?1'' Rayan picked a quiet


    corner near the French windows and sat down.


    The famous restaurant was elegant and expensive, and romantic songs were ying gently to add


    the ambiance.


    The French windows, adorned with delicatece curtains, were surrounded by green leaves, and


    the beaming sunshine was very dazzling. The table was next to the window where they could look


    out to observe the hustle and bustle of city life.


    Jenna sighed in her heart, and her eyes began to water!


    Amongst all the people in the world, Jenna was so lucky to have found such a caring man who


    looked after her.


    "What are you thinking about?" Rayan stared at her with a smile on his face. Over the past few


    years, he often ate with Jenna. Although she always had a faint smile on her face, he knew that she


    was not a superficial woman. She had secrets she kept in her heart; she just didn''t tell him about


    them.


    Fie had once asked her, "Flow did youe up with such a creative design?" Fie was really


    curious. Flow could a woman have such an ingenious idea? FHis dark eyes were dark, piercing


    straight to her heart.


    She didn''t hide the truth from him and said what was on her mind, "I designed it for the man I


    loved." He was very disappointed, but he didn''t say anything. After all, he did not meet her until


    muchter, after she had already found a man she loved.


    Later, he followed her to A city and he only recently learned about her miserable past. She had


    suffered a lot, but she never showed any sadness.


    She was still like that, even now!


    If she was bold enough to honestly say what was on her mind, maybe she would feel a little better,


    but she would never do that.


    The steaks were served.


    Jenna held the fork and looked at Rayan''s curious eyes. She sighed and asked with a smile,


    "Brother Rayan, how long will you stay in A city?"


    Rayan skillfully cut the steak and put it into his mouth to taste it. He nodded and smiled,


    appreciating the vor.


    "The steak here is not bad at all. Cooked to a medium- well, it is tender and delicious." He put down


    his cutlery, poured the French red wine, and raised his ss. "Come, let''s have a drink."


    With a hollow ''ng'', apanied by the crisp sound of the ss, the corner of Jenna''s lips curled


    up. "Brother Rayan, cheers to you. Thank you for taking care of me. I''ll drink this ss of wine, but I


    can''t drink more than this. I have to go to work in the afternoon."


    "Okay." Rayan was straightforward. He raised his head and drank it in one breath.


    Jenna also downed it.


    "Jen, why are you working at Richards Group?" After drinking a few sses of red wine, Rayan''s


    eyes were a little red. He stared at Jenna and asked seriously.


    "I..." Jenna was ufortable, but she didn''t know what to say. After a long pause, she ate a piece


    of steak and said seriously, "Mr. Whalen, I have something that I need to do there, that''s why I went


    back to Richards Group. It has nothing to do with business. Please believe me, I won''t stay at


    Richards Group for too long. I know the rules in business, and I know what to do. I can draw a clear


    line between work and personal affairs."


    Her tone was light, but very sincere. She looked at him with her clear eyes revealing a pang of


    sadness. It seemed as if her sorrow would be spilling over at any time.


    Rayan''s heart tightened and he nodded hurriedly. "I believe you. I will stay in A city for the time


    being, before I return. There is another important reason why I''m here. I am worried about you."


    Saying this, he took out a gold card from his pocket and pushed it towards Jenna.


    "Jen, this is your bonus. The car you designed is popr all over the world. ording to the


    company''s regtions, this is the reward you deserve." Rayan''s face was solemn.


    Jenna was stunned and she looked at the gold card in front of her. There were ten million dors in


    it. ording to thepany''s regtions, this was her reward!

    It was a pity that the money hadn''te sooner. Disregarding Hansen''s contempt, Jenna had sold


    herself to him in order to obtain better treatment for her mother. Later, she also agreed to his


    request for a divorce.


    It was all toote!


    But this was fate!


    Her fingers stroked the gold card and trembled slightly.


    She felt extremely ufortable and wanted to say something, but she couldn''t.


    As soon as she looked up, she saw Hansen walk in with Aria. They were holding hands.


    His handsome face was like a piece of art, while Aria was sexy and charming. They were a


    gorgeous couple.


    For a moment, Jenna was in a trance. She hurriedly lowered her head and started cutting her steak,


    but she did it messily.


    "Mr. Richards." The waiter saw Hansening in and hurriedly bowed down to greet him. Soon the


    manager followed him, nodding and bowing with a smile on his face.


    "Bring us something to eat. Hurry up. I have a meeting in the afternoon." Hansen gave a brief order.


    "Okay, Mr. Richards, please wait for a while." The manager quickly nodded and briefly reported the


    situation of the restaurant to him.


    Just then, Jenna realized that the ''Phyllis River'' restaurant was under Richards Group. She really


    should have thought that in A city, Richards Group would own businesses in every major industry.


    They had influence over all industries. She stood up and wanted to leave.


    Rayan held her injured hand and shook his head at her with a smile.


    Hansen and Aria were coincidentally seated across from them. However, Jenna believed that he


    didn''t do it on purpose as Aria kept holding his arm as she stood on his right to block his view.


    As soon as they sat down, Hansen saw Jenna who was eating steak with her head down. She


    bowed her head low, as if she was deliberately avoiding him.


    Hansen''s body froze and his eyes darkened. He looked at them with his sharp eyes.


    Jenna immediately felt like there was a thorn in her back, as if she was sitting on pins and needles.


    She felt ufortable all over.


    "Hansen, I want a ss of aloe vera juice to detox. Do you want some?" Aria softened her eyes and


    looked at Jenna and Rayan. An imperceptible smirk shed across her face. She asked in a low


    voice, but her body was close to him.


    "Give me a bottle of a fine red wine." Hansen did not answer the question and his mood changed.


    The waiter brought the red wine and steaks as quickly as he could.


    Hansen waved his hand and the waiter left.


    He skillfully unscrewed the bottle cap and poured a ss of the red liquid.


    He stood up.


    "Mr. Whalen, what a rare sight it is to see a world-


    chapter 21 renowned financier like yourself visit a small restaurant like this." Hansen clenched his


    wine ss and walked over gracefully.


    Rayan smiled faintly, stood up, and responded politely, "Mr. Richards, I''m ttered. Please take a


    seat."


    "Come, let me toast you. Cheers." Hansen raised his handsome eyebrows confidently but not


    ostentatiously. He raised his head and drank it in one breath. Then he sat down on the seat next to


    Jenna casually.
