"Yes, but my size is different from yours ..." Isabella wondered if this was really a good idea.
"What's wrong with that? It's just one night. It'll be fine." Rae burped, but couldn't resist opening another packet of chips.
There was a knock on the door.
It was Jensen who came in.
Jensen was holding a plate of fruit, among which there were mostly pears. Isabella watched him and immediately understood that Jensen was deliberately making them for Rae to eat. After all, every time she came, Rae liked to eat chips while talking to her. Seeing how warm Jensen was, Isabella suppressed the sourness that emerged from her heart. It seemed that Jensen was much kinder to Rae than she had imagined, and she couldn't help but be a little jealous.
And when Rae remembered how stingy Jensen was, she felt unpleasant. She lay down with the chips in her arms and deliberately rolled over to face the wall, leaving her back to Jensen, and then crunched on the chips.
Jensen caught her movement and wanted to laugh but held back. He put down the fruit plate and said, "Take it."
"Thanks, Jensen," Isabella said politely.
"My pleasure." Jensen glanced at Rae again before closing the door behind him and going out.
When Jensen left, Rae sat up from the bed and fiddled with her long hair.
Isabella bit into the crisp and sweet pear and mentioned it as if she didn't mean it, "By the way, Rae, I heard that Karina is going to be interning at Knight Group soon, and it's a position directly connected to Jensen."
"..." Rae paused as she stuffed chips into her mouth, then quickly recovered and said, pretending to be careless, "Is there no position for her in the company of Clark Group? Why they had to throw her to the Knight Group’s."
"You can't say throw. I heard that Jensen's father arranged it on purpose. After all, everyone thinks Karina is going to marry Jensen in the future, so they want to let the two of them get close to each other while they ..." Isabella finished speaking before realizing that it was inappropriate for her to say that, so she spoke up, "Rae, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that in front of you."
"What's wrong with that? I can't get in the way of the person he wants to marry, and it’s none of his business that who I will marry in the future." Rae took a piece of pear and put it in her mouth. She took a bite and frowned, "Hey, the merchant said he wouldn't charge for the pear if it wasn't sweet. Why is it so sour?"
Sour?
Isabella took another bite and just found it very sweet.
After a while, Isabella said she had something to do and had to go first. Rae walked her to the door, said goodbye, and then looked at the clock on the wall. Seeing that it was almost time, she turned around and went to the study. She didn't know what she was upset about, but she deliberately stomped on the floor as she walked, "Hey, I'm going to the market. What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Don't your feet hard?" Seeing her bare feet again and stomping hard on the wooden floor of the study, Jensen was helpless, "Why do you always leave your shoes on?"
"I'm hot. You're annoying." Rae didn't know why she was getting irritated for no reason. The more she looked at him, the more irritated she felt. She said, "Hurry up. Tell me what you want to eat."
"Whatever." Jensen wondered why she was suddenly angry.
Rae pouted. She hated that answer.
She turned and was about to change clothes when the man behind her spoke up again.
"Come here," Jensen asked.
Rae walked straight to him without a word.
Jensen pulled open a drawer and pulled out a checkbook, then grabbed a pen and filled in some information before tearing it out and handing it to her, "Here you go. Buy some designer clothes for your reunion."
Rae immediately smiled, forgetting the unpleasantness she had just felt. She took the check and put it close to her nose to sniff it. The smell of money was really the best, but she still complained, "How could you eavesdrop on me? How shameless you are!"
"Don't you dare say you don't like that I'm shameless?" Seeing that she was happy, the smile on Jensen's face grew wider.
"Well ... just wait. I'll cook something delicious for you tonight!" Rae took the check and left the apartment jumping with joy.
There was a supermarket near the apartment where she lived.
Rae pushed the cart and slowly strolled through the fresh food section. Jensen liked to eat fish, and she was too lazy to make it. However, she had just received such a large check from him, so she wanted to treat him to a fish, and Rae pushed the cart slowly in front of the fish tank. A little girl's voice came from the front, "Mom, what's the name of this fish?"
"Fish don't have names, only species." The little girl's mother explained.
"Then why do people have names?" The little girl asked again.
The little girl's mother was obviously baffled by the question.
Rae couldn't resist and went over to talk to her, "Listen, fish don't have names when they're alive, but they have many names when they're dead. For example, steamed fish, pickled fish, braised fish, sweet and sour fish, fried fish ..."
"Tell me." Jensen thought that if there really was, then he really wanted to try.
He wanted to hear what she really thought.
"That would the time when you're fucking me. Let’s see whose name may come out of my mouth" Rae stared at him and said seriously.
Jensen fought back the anger in his heart and walked out of the kitchen. There was really nothing he could do about Rae!
Rae was relieved to see him stop asking her, and thought to herself that Jensen was really easy to quell, so she planned to cook dinner. The next second, her cell phone on the stove rang, and Rae picked it up to find that it was Darcy calling. She answered and held the phone between her shoulder and head, "Hello, what can I do for you? ..."
"Rae, help!" Darcy's cries came intermittently and she sounded scared.
Rae became serious all of a sudden, and gripped the phone tightly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Someone knows about my pregnancy. She ... said she was going to beat me into miscarriage and then expose it on Weibo. Rae, I don't want to be utterly discredited!" Darcy cried and howled!
Rae's brow furrowed. She held her breath and asked, "What was that person's name?"
"She said her last name was Barnes. Rae, I'm at the parking lot of the Recreation Garden. You, you'll come, right?" Darcy asked hesitantly.
Barnes.
Nia Barnes.
Rae was so angry. She didn't expect Nia's revenge to come so soon and in such a shameless way! She took off her apron with one hand and threw it on the stove, then she walked to the bedroom while talking to the person on the other end of the phone, "I'm coming over now. You tell her to wait for me where she is if she dares!" After yelling, Rae hung up the phone, opened her closet, and selected a set of sportswear.
Seeing that she was furious, Jensen followed her into the room, "What's going on?"
"Woman's business. You wait for me at home. If you're hungry, just have some instant noodles." As she spoke, Rae had changed into a gray sweatshirt and left the apartment in stride. Before leaving, she took Jensen's car keys, which were hanging on the shoe cabinet, with her.
Rae knew that parking lot of the Recreation Garden was next to where the Barnes family lived. Although the name was a bit cheesy, the price per square meter had made the place a symbol of the status of being rich. Many rich people would like to buy a suite there to flaunt their wealth. When Rae arrived, it was already completely dark. After checking that she knew all the names of the Barnes family and the exact door number, the security guard finally let her in.
