Chapter 351 You Don’t Owe Me Anything
Alec’s car reached Jenny less than ten minutes after Morgan left.
“Weren’t you in a meeting with your clients? Why pick me up?” Jenny asked as she got into the car.
Her movements were stiff due to her injury, but she still tried to mask it in front of Alec.
Alec started his car. “The meeting finished early. I had Vincent handle the drinking for me.”
“Vincent’s pretty occupied,” Jenny murmured. Alec often left his personal matters to his assistant, so with
the addition of business meetings and handling clients, Vincent might really be overwhelmed with tasks
often.
Alec huffed. “He isn’t paid millions a year for no reason.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Millions?” Jenny gaped. “That’s such a huge amount!” She wasn’t even paid that much for her post as
deputy director at the hospital! No wonder Vincent was so busy.
“Are you jealous?” Alec teased, to which Jenny eagerly nodded.
“Who wouldn’t be?”
She wasn’t poor. In fact, she had several other streams of income aside from being a doctor. But millions
of dollars annually were still admirable.
“If you work as my PA, I can pay you just as much each year,” Alec added.
Jenny gave him a look. “I know you’re rich. Don’t need to flaunt it.”
“Not very rich, just Parrington’s wealthiest,” Alec responded.
Jenny suddenly felt the urge to pinch him. She massaged her temples, realizing just how much of a
show-off the man was.
They soon reached the apartment. As soon as Jenny made to leave the car, Alec stopped her.”
Wait.”
Jenny gave him a weird look. Before she could say anything, Alec had walked out of the car to her side.
With a flourish, he opened her door for her.
“What are you doing?” Jenny’s weird look persisted.
“What do you think?” Alec didn’t give her a direct answer but continued to the elevator instead, with her
in his arms.
Jenny had guessed what he was up to. She bit his lip, not meeting his eyes. “You found out?” The
atmosphere swiftly tensed up when Alec said nothing. “I didn’t want you to worry you. I didn’t mean to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhide this from you, Alec.”
Alec gave her a warm but tired look. “Do you really think of me as your boyfriend, Jenny?” He had long
grown wary of Jenny never treating him as a serious partner. When she stayed silent, Alec continued, “I
want to be here for you, always. I want to be the first person you go to when you need help.”
Jenny had always wanted to deal with her problems by herself, even hiding them from him.
“I’m sorry, I just…”
“Don’t be sorry. You never did anything wrong,” Alec cut in, though he still felt upset.
Sensing this, Jenny replied, “I really am…I didn’t want to trouble you, that’s all. I promise I’ll let your know
first thing next time, okay? She hadn’t wanted to be a burden to him. But unexpectedly, he felt differently,
which was news to her.
Alec’s anger dissipated the moment she said this. He gazed at her lovingly. “Alright…alright.”
He found her too sweet for him to continue being upset at her.
