To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 58

Chapter 58 I’m Busy Every Day

He suddenly remembered the last time he went to the Old Mansion When Warren said someone had come, Alec assumed it was Faye Now it seemed that it was Jenny

In a flash, he thought of what Jenny had said about not liking people named Faust, that her ex-husband was named Faust, and that he had never once seen her in two years.

He hadn’t understood what Stephanie had said before, but now he did.

The signs were all there. He had just never thought to think of things from that perspective.

He hadn’t noticed the call had ended. And he didn’t know how he had managed to walk to Jenny’s door. He raised his arm, prepared to knock, but he simply couldn’t find the courage.

The next day, Jenny prepared to leave for work.

She lowered her head and noticed the ash at the foot of the door. She remarked, “Which ignorant fool was this, scattering smoke ash at my door.”

Alec opened his door and froze. It was only when Jenny walked into the elevator that he rushed in, taking the same elevator ride down.

When she saw him, her face soured at once. She turned away, ignoring him.

“It was my fault yesterday. But you slapped me, so we’ll call it even.” Alec had thought up a hundred ways to torment Jenny after the slap, but after Paul’s phone call, all of his anger had subsided. He didn’t know how best to face her.

She was a little surprised to hear that he wasn’t going to bear a grudge against the slapping. Since when had he become so generous?

She had prepared herself to be at war with Alec, but now he wanted to clear things up.

“It’s the weekend. Are you free to share a meal today?” he asked. His attitude was surprisingly pleasant. Jenny was suspicious. Could he have swapped personalities? Why had he changed so much in just one night? However, she said icily, “I’m sorry, Mr. Faust. I have work today.”

“It’s the weekend. You don’t have to work,” Alec said.

“You don’t, but I do.” She glanced at him. She still had to perform rounds at the hospital.

He could tell that she wasn’t in a good mood. He didn’t take it to heart, merely saying, “I just invested in Parrington Hospital. I am now one of the biggest shareholders. I’ll decide when you can rest.”

Jenny was too stunned to speak.

Her phone rang at this moment, and she took it out. It was the hospital director calling. She picked it up, not daring to delay his time. Very soon, she hung up and glanced at Alec with even more suspicion.

The director had called to tell her that she could rest on the weekends, and unless there was an emergency, they would not contact her.

“Well? You have the time now, don’t you?” he said once more. He knew that the hospital had already notified Jenny.

While she was exclaiming to herself about how great it was to be rich, she refused without a moment’s hesitation. “I don’t. I can do other things even if I’m not working.”

Her other tasks were infinitely better than going out to eat with Alec.

Were they even just because he said so? What right did he have?

Slapping him just wasn’t enough.

When Jenny thought her refusal would make him angry, he shook his head in mild exasperation. “Alright. You can do your stuff. I’ll ask you out some other time.”

“I’m busy on that day, too,” she said.

“I didn’t say which one.”

“It’s all the same.” She made it clear that she did not wish to eat with him.

He wasn’t stupid. He knew what she meant. He had just told himself that he couldn’t be angered by her, but right now, it was really hard to control himself.

Thankfully, Jenny did not give him the chance to explode.

The moment the elevator reached the first floor, she walked right out and hailed a cab, disappearing from

his sight.

Alec didn’t know where to direct his anger.. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Mr. Faust,” Vincent said. The car stopped in front of Alec.

Instantly, Vincent felt a chill blowing over him, and he shivered.

Had he done something wrong? Why did he feel like Mr. Faust was glaring at him?
