To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 692

"Hmph, who knows," Alec said coldly, clearly skeptical.

His tone made Jenny feel uncomfortable, and her expression hardened. "Alec, you need to understand that we are in a business partnership. I'm not your subordinate, and you have no right to act all high and mighty with me."

Seeing her angry, Alec frowned slightly. "I'm just reminding you not to get too close to the other Fausts. They might have ulterior motives when they approach you."

"That would be none of your business, Mr. Faust. After all, I'm not very familiar with you either." Jenny glanced at him, her expression indifferent.

Alec was slightly annoyed. He sneered, "That's true. Considering that you have quite a few men around you, you're not likely to be interested in that idiot, Julian."

At his words, Jenny's already unhappy expression turned into one of immense displeasure as she looked straight at Alec. "Mr. Faust, are you unhappy with the men around me? Or are you hoping to be one of them?"

"Shameless," Alec scolded under his breath.

"You take care of yourself, Mr. Faust. As for me, there's no need for you to worry." Jenny couldn't be bothered to explain herself to him.

Alec smirked, his words tinged with sarcasm. "Worry about you? Miss Walter, you really think highly of yourself."

"You should be on your way now. I won't see you off," Jenny responded angrily, not wanting to see Alec for another second.

Why was he so despicable? His words were always so hurtful.

Alec's expression soured upon being chased away. "Who said I'm leaving?"

"Mr. Faust, if you're not leaving, are you planning to stay here and sleep with me?" Jenny glared at him, thinking Alec was acting like he had lost his marbles.

Alec raised an eyebrow as he looked at her. He smirked and said, "Were you always this casual with men?"

After a quick check, she realized that nothing had happened. With that, she breathed a sigh of relief. Upon walking out of the room, she immediately understood why she was unharmed.

"Jenny." She looked at Jenny and was touched.

Hearing Stephanie's voice, Jenny turned to look at her. "Finally, you're awake. I was going to call the doctor to examine you again if you didn't wake up."

"I'm sorry, I—"

"It's not your fault. It's our fault for not doing a good job with the security and almost causing you harm." Before Stephanie could apologize, Jenny spoke first.

Stephanie was slightly stunned, and then she understood the meaning behind Jenny's words. "But I still have to thank you. If you hadn't appeared in time, I don't know what would have happened."

Now that she thought about it, that guy who handed her the glass of wine was definitely up to no good. She blamed herself for being careless.
