To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 713

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, I come 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 I…get you an assistant? Don't tire yourself out."

"It's fine. I don't need one yet. If the workload becomes too much, I'll figure it out." He had the final say in whatever happened in the company. 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 this company 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 glared 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 already completely trusted him. She would not have entrusted the company to him otherwise.

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't come there often, preferring to cook at home.

"Jenny? Why didn't you tell me that you were coming?" Jade came over with her plate of food, complaining.
