Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy novel Chapter 26

“I won’t. You bring me business, I’m really grateful.” Rae replied insincerely. Although she was happy to earn money, but she doesn’t want to cooperate with Karina. Facing her, Rae had mixed emotion in her heart, not knowing if she should blame her for taking her patron away, or if she felt guilty that she was cheating on her with her future husband.

“Rae…” Isabella called out.

Rae took a deep breath and turned to look at Isabella. It’s the first time she used a warning tone while she talked to her, “To be honest, I felt a bit awkward towards Karina due to Jensen, I have no other feelings about her besides that. You know what, Isabella, my greatest dream now is to pay off my debts and then leave here. People are born to seek fortune, and I’m not the exception. Moreover, I just dated with a man that was not married yet, and I did nothing wrong. But Isabella, do you know how I feel when you repeated concerns and emphasized their coming marriage? Are you reminding me constantly that Jensen belongs to Karina, and I’m just the other women?”

“I… I’m sorry.” Isabella lowered her head, seeing that Rae was angered, she hurriedly apologized.

At the same time, a thought flashed across her mind, Rae was actually angered…

It looked like Rae was not truly indifferent towards Jensen.

She learned the news about the incident of Louisa from social media today, she never would have thought that Jensen was so intolerant that he had smashed Louisa’s face just for trifles. Even if he cared Rae, this was way out of the line. She believed that Rae didn’t know about this, she knew Rae too well, she would not allow someone else to deal with her own enemies. Thinking about this, Isabella said on purpose, “I won’t do it again. You won’t tell Jensen right, Rae?”

“Why would I tell him?” Rae felt that Isabella was a little strange.

“Nothing,” Isabella was aware that Rae truly had no idea about what Jensen did for her, and a dark idea suddenly emerged in her mind.

Although Rae noted it, she did not ponder on it. Carried two cups of coffee, she walked back to the office.

Isabella followed.

After getting in touch with Karina, Rae found that she was indeed a not calculative and easy-going person. She was suave and urbane, a typical lady who was well-protected. She did not know what would she do when Karina found out that she had an affair with Jensen. Although the marriage between the Clark family and the Knight family was not based on love, but actually last time when she hided in Jensen’s office, she knew she liked Jensen, apparently.

It made sense, a man who was handsome and powerful was definitely be a heartthrob the destined man to girls. It was even unnecessary to know him deeper before girls fell in love with him. They chatted for a while, and before Karina left, she invited her for lunch. Rae refused her indirectly by explaining that she was too busy, and then she saw the guests off.

Rae was in fact extremely free, after they left, she had an idea while playing the computer. She searched some recipes on the websites. She wanted to invent some new dishes to cater to Jensen’s appetite, so his wallet would be open up to her easier. After looking through for a while, as Rae was getting ready excitedly to go back and get busy tonight, she received Jensen’s message saying that he was accompanying his client for dinner tonight and would not dine with her. Rae instantly felt that she had been splashed with a bucket of cold water, and after replying briefly she closed the recipe web.

Since Jensen was not coming back, she rather just have instant noodles.

…

After Jensen sent a message to Rae, he put down his phone and leaned his back against the wide office chair, his entire face looking cold and relaxed.

“Hey, what do you actually plan to do?” Reuben sat on a corner of Jensen’s office desk and raised his chin at him, indicating for him to hurry up and give an answer. “Will we still hold Rae’s birthday party? Did Karina’s father know something? Although they have the same birthday, he even booked the same place for Karina’s birthday party! Is it a coincidence? Everyone knows that Rae’s birthday is held by you at my topmost level every year, I don’t know what to do now. If it were not Karina’s father, I would have just refused it, but now I am worry that if I didn’t handle it well it would be a big trouble for you.”

The James Group Building, one of his family’s property, was the tallest tower in the city. It was available to book dining seats almost every day. The top floor patio was surrounded by glass and the entire city could be seen here. But every year, there would be a few days where it was closed, as Jensen wanted to celebrate for Rae’s birthday.

“Do you even have to ask? Everything proceeds as usual.” Jensen answered lightly. He stood there still, lost in thought, and no one could guess what he was thinking.

“Alright, if you insist, then even if I may offend the Clark family I will leave the place for you! But have you thought of how to cope with this? Even if Zain looked for another place, the point is that Karina’s birthday party would be held as usual!” Reuben was getting anxious for Jensen. His choice was the key point .

“I don’t know.” Jensen changed his vacant look and looked at Reuben, this was the first time he gave an uncertain answer. In fact, he really did not know what to do. If he did not show up to Karina’s birthday party that night, not only would Zain be suspicious about him, but even his family would find something unusual. Then everyone would soon find Rae.

But if he went to Karina’s side… no, he would not leave Rae alone.

Karina had a lot of relatives and friends and those who were waiting to suck up to her, but Rae only had him.

“Alright, then I…” Reuben knew what Jensen meant. He was just about to stand up and say goodbye, when Jensen’s phone that was on the table started vibrating.

He glanced at it, and saw that it was from Zain.

He did not know the reason for the frequent calls.

Jensen noticed. As he pressed on the hands-free mode directly, Zain’s voice rang out immediately, “Jensen, you'd better make time for a walk with Karina tonight. Don’t find an excuse to run away, am I clear?”

Jensen did not answer and hung up the call.

“This is an threat,” Reuben exclaimed.

Jensen gave him a glance.
