Chapter 16 Can We Talk?

After all, Old Mr. Faust was part of the Faust family. He would be on Alec’s side without a doubt, not to mention that she and Alec were already divorced. Even if they hadn’t divorced, Old Mr. Faust might also not do his best to help he r.

Although Jenny understood this, she didn’t tell Stephanie immediately. Instead, she decided to let her have a good night’s sleep. Stephanie went back to her room to sleep, but Jenny struggled. She needed to be prepared for the worst.

Jenny was up the whole night trying to come up with solutions, which caused her dark eye circles to become extremely obvious the following d ay.

“What were you up to last night?” Stephanie exclaimed when she saw her. Jenny stared at herself in th e mirror as she used concealer to conceal her dark circles.

“Nothing. I just didn’t sleep well.”

“Jenny,” Stephanie suddenly called, “I’m sorry for making you worry about my family’s business.”

Upon hearing this, Jenny turned around to look at her and said thoughtfully, “If you’re going to apologize to me, I should apologize to you too. You wouldn’t ha ve offended Alec if you didn’t speak up for me.”

“Who knew he would be so petty?” Stephanie complained. “He didn’t even give me a chance to apologi ze.”

“Let’s eat first. There’s always a solution to everything.” She smiled at Stephanie as she walked out of t he

kitchen with breakfast.

After breakfast, Stephanie grabbed her luggage and returned to her place because she was worried about her father. Counting today, her plan to run away from home only lasted three days.

Jenny cleaned up the kitchen. After changing, she was ready to go to work. Right when she opened the door and walked out, the neighbor opposite her opened his door simultaneously. Jenny was in shock. Alec was much calmer in comparison to her.

“Dr. Walter, what a coincidence.”

Jenny was speechless.

Alec was living right across from her! What were the odds?

“What a coincidence indeed, Mr. Faust,” Jenny returned to her senses as she tried to suppress her sho ck.

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the lift. Jenny was feeling hesitant. She didn’t know whether Old Mr. Faust had talked to Alec about the Walker family and whethe r Alec would listen to Old

Mr. Faust.

After hesitating for a while, she decided to initiate the conversation.

“Mr. Faust, can we talk?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Alec turned to look at her with a faint expression.

“What about?”

“The Walker family.” Jenny looked up at him. “It was Stephanie’s fault. She shouldn’t have bad– mouthed you. I apologize to you on her behalf. I hope you won’t let this matter affect Faust Group and t he Walker family’s collaboration.”

The lift arrived with a ding. Alec walked into the lift without answering.

Jenny caught up with him. Unwilling to give up, she continued, “Mr. Faust, you’re an entrepreneur. You w

Alec, who had kept quiet the entire time, laughed suddenly. He stared right into Jenny’s eyes.

“Who told you I’m a generous person?”

“Mr. Faust…”

“Dr. Walter, you’re truly an adaptable person. You obviously hated me before, but now, you’re willing to p mocked.

Jenny cursed Alec inwardly but kept smiling, “I don’t hate you.”

“I purely don’t want anything to do with you, that’s all,” she thought.

“Is that so?” he asked in disbelief.

He wasn’t a fool. Jenny’s attitude toward him had always been hostile before. If that wasn’t hatred, what was it then?

“Dr. Walter, why do you have to worry about the Walker family? Your friend is competent. She even came looking for my grandfather. Do you e

Stephanie went to see Alec’s grandfather. Jenny was so surprised that she didn’t know how to react for a moment.
