Chapter 552

Chapter 552 You're Thinking Too Much

Oblivious to Alec's jealousy, Jenny nodded. "Mhm. It's been a few years, but our relationship is still there. We used to

spend a lot of time together when we were younger."

Relationship?

Bitterness spread through Alec's mouth. no.velxo He didn't even know if he shared that with Jenny anymore.

His silence invited Jenny's curiosity. "You're not jealous, are you?"

Alec said nothing.

Jealous? How could he not be? Jenny and Finn already had their kinship as disciples. Now both were children of the

Ten Elite of Bardoff City. Who was to say a prospective marriage wasn't in the works?

Alec had never thought little of himself, nor did he think James was better than him, but he still worried about the

what-ifs.

"You're thinking too much. We're just friends." Jenny shrugged.

Alec hummed in assent and dropped the topic. "Let's go."

The two left the car and headed to a hole-in-the-wall ahead.

Alec used to refuse to eat food from these places, no.velxo but he had come to realize that they weren't as terrible

as he thought after spending time with Jenny for so long.

Jenny placed a large order after they sat down, curious about how the local street food fared as opposed to

Parrington's. She hadn't had a chance to try thus far.

When her food arrived, she asked Alec,no.velxo "Has the Walters been putting any pressure on you?"

Alec shook his head.

Jenny nodded. That meant Graham didn't see Alec as a threat, nor did he dislike him. She might still be able to

convince him to help take down the Glass family.

"Have you settled your business here? no.velxo Shifting headquarters can be tedious," Jenny ate some fries as she

spoke.

"Yeah. I've installed some managers and directors here. They'll handle things for me from here on out." Alec plated

some ketchup for her.

It made sense, Jenny thought. Faust Group had way more experience than hers. Her business didn't have much

staff, even though it was also called " Group."

"That therapist you recommended to me was pretty good. I've only had two sessions, and already I'm seeing

improvements." Alec thanked her.

Jenny beamed. ’Really?'"

"Mhm.” He wasn't as terrified of the dark anymore, at least.

"I'm happy to hear that. I hope you can heal from your past." Jenny was ecstatic that Alec was accepting therapy. It

was a good start.

Alec nodded. He had actually been concerned about it. Dr. Watkins had told him to start controlling his compulsion

to see Jenny in person. His failure to do so was likely a symptom of something.

As the two ate, they didn't notice several people taking pictures of them from a camera in the distance.

Taking all the photos they needed, the paparazzi left,no.velxo anticipating the headlines for tomorrow.

No one would expect Jenny Walter of the Walter family to go on a tryst with another man this late at night, though it

was understandable given how attractive he was.
