Chapter 455 Do You Think I’m Annoying?

The more Jenny thought about it, the more creeped out she felt. If Alfred was Mortimer’s illegitimate son,

could it just be a coincidence that he wanted to work at La Vie Jen Rose Designs?

She couldn’t be blamed for overthinking. There were too many coincidences. It was weird, no matter how

one looked at it.

“If I’d known earlier, I wouldn’t have hurried the agreement.” Jade was flustered. She had probably

thought of his motives, too. If he was truly Mortimer’s illegitimate son, working at La Vie Jen Rose

Designs was a suspicious act.

Jenny sighed. The agreement was already signed, so they couldn’t go back on their word now. They

couldn’t just lose out on money like that.

“It’s alright. We’ll just observe if he has any ulterior motives. Keep an eye on him,” Jenny instructed. They

would handle anything thrown at them. She believed that they would catch him. one day. Then, she

added, “But don’t make it too obvious. What if we’re wrong? We’d just upset him.”

“I know.” Jade nodded. However, her attitude toward Alfred was no longer as warm.

Alfred was on the phone in his car. “Don’t worry. Since when have I failed at anything?” he said to the

person on the other end. “My identity? So what if they find out? I’m not some criminal. They can’t fire me

just because I am your son.” He didn’t think that Jenny was someone like that.

He talked with Mortimer for a bit, then hung up. He’d come to Jenny’s company to grow closer to her.

Not long after, the cars stopped, and they walked into the restaurant.

Jenny and Jade appeared normal. They treated Alfred nicely, albeit on their guard.

Alfred knew nothing of this. He kept up the conversation amicably with Jade and Jenny about the

company. Jenny had to admit that Alfred was experienced in that department. All that he said was what

Jenny was thinking about. She grew to have a higher opinion of him.

If only he had no ulterior motives.

She had to check it out for herself. What if this was just a misunderstanding?

She had already made the decision in her heart. Alfred’s smiles accompanied them throughout the entire

evening, blurring the lines between conspiracy and fact.

After dinner, Alfred left, and Jade sent Jenny home. After giving Jade a few simple instructions, Jenny

said nothing more, and she got off the car.

At the door to her apartment, she saw that Alec’s door was ajar. She was surprised.

She took the keys out to unlock her door. Just as she was debating seeing Alec, he walked out.” Have

you eaten?” he asked.

She was stunned and had to come back to her senses. “Yes. Have you?”

“Oh.” Alec was disappointed.

Jenny felt embarrassed as if she’d done-something wrong. “Haven’t you?”

“I was waiting for you.” Alec smiled awkwardly. He thought she would be back earlier than this.

Jenny thought there was something off about Alec’s behavior. She said patiently, “Alec, you don’t have to

do this. You can focus on your own things. You don’t have to spend all your energy on me.”

It would only tire Alec, and she couldn’t quite accept it herself.

“Do you think I’m annoying?” Alec looked at her, his eyes full of disappointment.

It made Jenny a little flustered. She explained hurriedly, “No, not at all. I just don’t want you to waste your

time. Aren’t you busy?”

“I’m not wasting my time. I’m using it willingly.” Alec smiled, looking at Jenny with passion in his eyes.

That was right. He was willingly spending time on her. He’d do anything just to have one more chance

from her.
