Chapter 63 Alec, Are You Alright?

Paul opened the door to a private lounge in JK bar and promptly frowned at the sight. “What are you doing, drinking in the afternoon instead of working? Alec, are you alright?”

As he spoke, he sat across from his friend, looking both concerned and curious.

“I’m okay,” Alec muttered and downed another shot.

He certainly did not appear fine in Paul’s eyes. He thought for a while and asked, “Looks like you’re upset because of Jenny Walter. Why? Didn’t you talk to her?”

“I did. She said she never wants to see me again,” Alec answered with a hint of bitterness.

At first, Paul was surprised by her resolve, but he could understand why. “It’s your fault for being married for two years but refusing to meet your wife even once. I can understand her resentment toward you.”

“But I never thought that she would…” Alec sighed. He was a little regretful for not meeting with Jenny

earlier and saving his marriage.

Paul went over to him and patted him on the shoulder. “Why did her attitude upset you? Have you fallen NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

for her?”

Noting Alec’s silence, he went on, “You’re only lonely because there are no women around you. That’s why you’re attracted to Jenny Walter. She’s just an average chick who isn’t worth your time. I know a few lovely socialites. Want me to introduce you?”

Indeed, Paul thought of Jenny as an average woman who was more mysterious than feminine or

seductive.

Alec didn’t take that well and glared at his friend. “Get lost!”

“No, I’m serious. Give it a try. You might like the other women better.” Paul was amused at the rare sight

of a lovesick Alec.

Alec observed Paul for a while and lifted a brow curiously. “You’re in a great mood today. Any good news?

“I wouldn’t say it’s good news. Well, I met a pretty interesting person.” Paul smiled with a twinkle in his eye. Alec ignored his unserious friend.

“Oh, by the way, you said last night that you wanted me to give the Pearsons some trouble. Is that true?” Finally, Paul started a serious discussion. Alec nodded at him, took another shot, and said, “Distract him so that he has no time for anything else.”

Paul grunted with a knowing look.

At night, Jenny returned to the Perry Residence after a busy day at work. Although she didn’t need to go to the hospital, she had plenty of other work waiting to be completed. She wandered into the elevator but was too preoccupied with her thoughts and didn’t sense the presence of a man inside.

When the elevator bell chimed, she looked up and proceeded to get off at her floor, only to see the man moving ahead of her.

“Alec Faust? When did he enter the elevator?” she wondered.

Before she could react, he disappeared around the corner. She hurriedly got out before the elevator doors. shut and took her time walking toward her unit, secretly wishing she didn’t have to run into him again. When she heard the sound of his door closing, she went to her condominium and entered.

Back at her place, she experienced an uneasiness about the encounter but was soon over it. Alec treating her like a stranger was exactly what she wanted from him, and she decided she should be glad about his

reaction.

Once she organized her thoughts, she went to the bathroom humming a tune, ready to take a bath and go to bed.

The mood of her neighbor Alec was a stark difference from her cheerfulness. He was dejected because she had not spared a glance at him in the elevator. He had almost talked to her but held himself back a few times, all because he wished her well when they parted ways at lunch.

“Hmph! She’s just another woman. There are more out there!” he thought.
