To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 315

Chapter 315 | Have Something to Say

Jenny walked out of the gym after ending her conversation with Simone. She was about to hail a cab when Alec’s car stopped before her.

“Are you done talking?” Alec rolled down his window.

Jenny nodded, then realization dawned upon her. “When did you come? No, how did you know I was here?” She didn’t tell Alec that she was coming to see Simone, much less where she would go.

“I just found out you were with her when I sent someone out to investigate her.” Alec didn’t think that such a coincidence would happen, either. He wanted to find Simone before Jenny did, but Jenny was still faster.

Jenny didn’t press the matter. Even if Alec sent someone out to spy on her, Jenny would believe he was considering her safety.

Wait. Since when had she become so trusting of him?

Alec opened the door for her. Jenny sat in his car and didn’t ask where they were going.

“How did the conversation go?” Alec asked.

Jenny nodded. “It was just as I thought. She has an ambitious side but was never given an opportunity. Now that it’s fallen right into her lap, she has no reason to refuse.”

Alec wasn’t surprised. It wasn’t because he understood Simone, but because he understood Jenny. She could do anything she put her mind to, and Alec didn’t doubt her from the start. He merely thought that his help would lessen her burden.

The car wasn’t heading toward Perry Residences. “Where are we going?” Jenny asked.

“Dinner,” Alec said.

“I bought this place a few years back,” Alec explained to Jenny. “It’s a little far away from the company, which is why I don’t come to stay often.

“Oh.” Jenny nodded. She knew this wasn’t a restaurant. But why would Alec bring her here if he didn’t come here often? Before she could ask the question, the butler had already brought them to the dining room. It was then that Jenny realized she had severely underestimated the sheer size

of the manor.

The dining room was as large as a hotel restaurant. On the long table a distance away were wine, steak, candles, and fresh flowers. It all seemed strange to Jenny, and she looked at Alec, who seemed unperturbed. Was she overthinking things?

“Sit, Jenny.” Alec smiled at her, helping her to sit opposite him.

Once she was seated, he let the butler leave before saying, “Jenny, I brought you here today because…I have something to say to you.”
