Chapter 81 I Won’t Bother You, Mr. Faust
“Of course! It’s my pleasure to be friends with you, Miss Dickman.” Jenny smiled at her.
When the siblings were out of sight, the smile on Jenny’s face disappeared. Befuddled, Alec shook his head, asking, “You clearly don’t like her. Why did you agree to be her friend?”
“If I refused her, wouldn’t I seem petty?” Jenny asked. After casting him a glance, she got up and walked
out of the restaurant.
Alec stopped asking questions and trailed behind her silently. He couldn’t figure out what was going on between the two women.
“Where are you going?” he asked. “I’ll see you off.”
“I won’t bother you, Mr. Faust. Someone will pick me up.”
As soon as she said that, a white sports car pulled up in front of Jenny. Max appeared before them, and Alec’s expression turned ugly. He stared at him coldly.
“Did you get a new car?” Jenny asked in surprise as she remembered Max driving a red sports car. “Didn’t you tell me to be less flashy? Isn’t this better?” he asked, pointing at his new car, which happened to be a limited edition sports car.
Jenny was stumped. While white was certainly less flashy than red, the car was not. “Well, it’s alright, I guess,” she replied with a wry smile and dropped the topic.
Like a gentleman, Max opened the car door for her and gestured for her to enter. When she was about to get in, she turned to look at Alec. “By the way, Mr. Faust, although I appreciate your help in dealing with the Dickmans, I didn’t need it.”
Alec silently watched as Jenny and Max left. His brooding eyes made the people around him afraid to approach him.
Jenny fell silent as that made sense. She was indebted to both Max and Alec in that sense. After a moment, she asked, “So, how do you want me to thank you?”
“Well, it’s not difficult. There’s going to be an event in a few days, and I’d like you to be my date for it,” Max answered as he pulled into the compound of Perry Residence. He watched Jenny, waiting for her answer.
“What event is that?” Jenny asked.
Max shook his head. With an air of mystery, he said, “It’s a secret for now. I’ll tell you when the time comes.”
Jenny frowned.
“Don’t worry. I’m not trying to sell you.” Seeing her hesitate, he was afraid that she would refuse him.
