Chapter 910 What a Great Employee

Alec spent some time cooking up a reply. A while later, Jenny heard him muttering, "Well,

we're just acquaintances. You know what happened between me and him. We would never

be close."

Even though Mortimer was in a coma at the hospital, and there appeared to be no conflict

between Alec and Alfred, they knew that they would never be true friends, considering the

bad blood between them.

"Right. So why did he tell you?" Jenny asked, feeling confused.

"He probably...doesn't want to see you dating Evan Clarke.’ Alec was surprised too when

he received the tip from Alfred, but he thanked the man and didn't prod much.

She was speechless at Alec's answer, but she couldn't deny the possibility of Alfred doing

so. If Alfred was getting along fine with Alec, it made sense that he would rather see Jenny

dating his half-brother than Evan Clarke.

She stopped asking questions and took the elevator to her place. She had hired a cleaner

to clean up the unit the day before. The apartment was ready for her to move in, and she

wanted to stay straight away.

"You should go home." She had to urge him to leave when he followed her to her door. He

smiled and opened the door to the unit across from her. Dumbfounded, she finally

collected herself after a pause. 'Do you live here? II

"Yeah." He nodded and added, "Isn’t this fate? We're neighbors again.'

Fate? Jenny was too surprised to speak. He had clearly bought the unit right after learning

that she had moved to the apartment. She thought," Does he take me as a fool?’

"Do you want to have a seat?" he invited her to his place, even though she refused to host

him at hers.

She waved her hand dismissively. "It's okay. I'll go to your place next time.’ She figured

that his place was not much different from hers. After all, both of them recently bought

their units, which she assumed to have come with old furnishing from the former owners.

"Come in and have a seat. I'll make you a cocktail for a good night's sleep.’ He opened the

door while speaking.

Finally, she succumbed to the allure and stepped into his place. She was mostly curious

about Alec's cocktails because she never knew that he was good at mixing drinks on top

of being a good cook.

When she entered his living room, she was surprised by the huge contrast in its interior

decor. The living room sported a contemporary luxury decor, looking deluxe and nothing

like a second-hand purchase. The decor was clearly to Alec's taste, which puzzled her

even more. She wondered, "How did he manage to purchase a unit overnight that

perfectly fits his taste? Why wasn't I as lucky?*

While thinking, she saw him walking toward the bar in his place and starting to make

some cocktails. The bar was filled with ingredients for mixing drinks-it seemed he was

regularly making cocktails and not just forthat night.

"Today wasn't your first day here," she concluded.

He nodded. "Yeah. I've moved in for a while. That's why I said we were fated." He hired an

interior designer to work on the decor, which explained why his unit looked different than

Jenny's.

"I don't know about fate. What I do know is that Alfred is indeed a great employee," she

scoffed sarcastically and suspected Alfred of choosing the apartment for her with an

ulterior motive. She had mistakenly thought that Alec bought a unit after she moved over,

but it seemed like it was the other way around-Alfred picked the place for her because

Alec lived there.
