Chapter 264 Can’t You Be More Ambitious?
“Well, you’ll have to give me the chance to cook for you.” Alec turned around to look at Jenny. “So, will
you give me a chance?”
Regretting her words, she blinked and looked at the restaurant. “I haven’t been here before. It looks
wonderful.” She walked into the restaurant, leaving him shaking his head defeatedly at her awkward
change of topic.
The waiter led them to the reserved table by the window. On the 30th floor, they had a perfect vista of the
brilliant night view.
Jenny looked out of the window, lost in thoughts. When she thought about it, she had never seen.
Parrington’s night view after living here for a long time, not even in the two free years when she had

“Have a taste of their signature menu. I wonder if you’d like it.” He brought her to a Cagliostronese
restaurant that he thought was good, but he had no idea if it matched her preference.
She tasted the food and nodded. “Yeah, it’s good.”
“Eat up. You probably haven’t been eating well because you’re so skinny.” He started filling up her plate
without even taking her appetite into consideration. They chatted throughout the meal, and the
atmosphere was just right.
At the other end of the restaurant, Yvonne and Sam were having dinner as well. There was a tense and
awkward air between them, unlike Jenny and Alec. Sam was filling up Yvonne’s plate with food in a
desperate attempt to please her, but she did not as much as give him a look. She ate her food in a
gloomy mood.
“Yvonne, don’t you think we’ve been acting quite conspicuously lately? My dad isn’t too happy about it,”
Sam mumbled weakly. He wasn’t the type to show off, and the current situation made him uneasy. Since
Yvonne once said she wished for him to protect her, he followed her suggestion to work in the Bloom
Conglomerate. Not only that, he brought her along, which had led to some complaints. After Yvonne
offended many in the company, even Sam’s father felt that things were out of hand.
Hearing that, she put her cutlery down and shot him a hard look. “The Bloom Conglomerate is ours! Why
do I have to consider their feelings?”
“But…”
“I know they’re our shareholders, but they can’t bully us!” Yvonne cut him off. He couldn’t come up with a
response, and she went on, “I’m doing this for our reputation. Sam, we need to be more ambitious and
chase the shareholders out of Bloom Conglomerate for good. If that happens, the company will wholly

“Of course, but…” Sam was doubtful. “Is that doable?”
It was the Blooms’ wish to control the company, but that was easier said than done.
“Of course. With your full support, I can make you the CEO of Bloom Conglomerate.” Yvonne sounded
confident. Although she disliked Sam, he was her only support at the time being. Naturally, she’d want to
push him into a higher position in the company. When that happened, she would kick him off the throne
and take over.
As she pictured their future, her mood improved as well. She wanted to discuss more, but she suddenly
overheard some staff discussing in hushed voices. “Is that Mr. Faust and his girlfriend? They’re a match
made in heaven!”
“I want to snap a photo so badly,” someone gushed.
“Snap a photo? I couldn’t care less if you lose your job, but you shouldn’t get the restaurant into trouble,”
the manager coldly schooled the staff, who calmed down almost immediately.
