Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy novel Chapter 35

Ten minutes later.

“Is your companion gone, Rae? Why didn’t you ask me to come down to accompany you? If Jensen hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t know that you’re here alone.” Reuben’s voice shifted slowly from her back to her side, he picked up one of the empty wine glasses, looked at it and took a whiff. Then he put it down, “Are you in a bad mood?”

“I’m sorry, Reuben.” Rae propped her head up with one hand. Her long hair was all messy due to her actions, and two strands of her hair even fell before her forehead, blocking her face. Rae raised her hand and tidied it simply, “Jensen made you lost so much of money.”

“It’s not…”

“He’s too childish, since the Clark family have their eyes on this piece of land, he still wouldn’t allow you to rent it to them. Is it really worth the effort just to feel good for once?” The more Rae thought of it the more she ached, feeling that with every second, money was just flowing out before her. She waved her hand and called for the waiter, knocking on her glass indicating for the same wine. “Did he feel like he would lose face being snatched of something by others? Please, this building doesn’t have his name carved on it!”

Reuben did not speak immediately after he was interrupted, when Rae had finished mumbling her words, he felt that Rae might have misunderstood Jensen’s intentions. Jensen felt that it was annoying being snatched of something, so he just asked him to do this. According to the Knight Group’s market value, even if they went on the plan till Karina’s birthday next year it still would not be a big trouble. But Jensen’s annoyance was purely because of her and was never about his own reputation. As he saw it, Jensen’s meaning now was that since he had not thought of a good way to completely settle the matter, he would adopt appropriate measures when Zain intended to fight.

Moreover, Zain would surely compromise first.

By Jensen’s words, it was that Zain cared for Karina but he did not, so Zain would not ruin Karina’s birthday over this matter of fighting with him. These words sounded rather logical, but at the moment when he heard it from Jensen’s mouth, Reuben merely felt chilled to the bone. He was afraid that except Rae, anything could be destroyed in Jensen’s eyes.

Reuben did not know either why Jensen would love so deeply, as if it was carved into his bones, if one day Rae was not together with Jensen…

Reuben did not dare to think.

After another while, Jensen came again.

“She drank so much, don’t you know to stop her?” When Jensen arrived, Rae’s table had a few more glasses than before. Her entire person was more drunk and her cheeks were reddened. Although it was dark inside, it did not stop others from seeing that her intoxicated situation now.

“Well,” Reuben touched his nose and did not give a proper reply.

Jensen sat down on the tall chair on her left, as his right hand played with her long hair, he asked as if he was chatting casually, “Those gangsters are coming again, aren’t they?”

Reuben raised his arm, glanced at his watch and replied, “Seems like it’s almost time.”

“Why do you allow those people to mess around here, don’t you have… have guns!” Rae suddenly raised her head from the table and interrupted. She was really drunk and did not know what not to say, as she shouted directly. Jensen bit lightly on the corner of her lip, and reminded her by her ear, “Don’t simply shout this kind of words.”

Rae instantly became more obedient and her voice became much smaller, asking, “Then why don’t you bomb them directly?” In her eyes, Jensen was not such a passive person. Even if she was more arrogant and thought that he was doing this for her, but this overly tolerant personality was unlike Jensen either! The Jensen she knew would not allow people to bully him this way!

“Because,” Jensen took the wine from the waiter’s hand that was supposed to be passed to Rae, shook it and drank it in one shot. He put down the glass and finally answered, “I want him to give up himself.” Zain must have wanted to play along with him as he thought he would surely take actions to halt it, but he would not do so, what was the meaning to just mess around like this? Since Zain surely cared more about Karina than he did, he would just allow Zain to mess around. Then he would let him give in himself, and make him go against his own words, allowing him to understand that these meagre tricks were nothing at all in his eyes.

“Have you heard of that only silence is the highest form of disregard. Just take no heed of him,” Jensen waved to tell the waiter to leave and not to bring wine here anymore.

“… Impressive.” Reuben heard these words and merely felt that his words was as icy as a piece of dry ice, radiating with chillness. Towards someone like Zain, nothing indeed would hurt him more than to ignore him, and then make him stop his actions due to the time factor. To Zain, this was surely more powerful than any other way to stop him.

“You’re so despicable,” Rae mumbled as she scolded. Feeling that her head was rather dizzy, she leaned directly onto Jensen’s shoulder.

Jensen reached to hold onto her, preventing her from falling off. He spoke to Reuben, making rare small talk, “Ewan’s son is a month old, what do you plan on gifting?”

“Urgh, stop mentioning it. My good friend’s precious son was even more of a headache than treating my girlfriend. Should I just play his picture on the LED display outside the building on that night? ” Reuben felt that it was overbearing, as he could not even consider giving clothes or toys. He had gone over the day when Ewan had his son, and his house was almost half full with these. But if he just gave money, it would seem rather insincere.

Rae was amused by Reuben’s suggestion, as she sat up and replied, “If you dared to do so, then on that day I would let all the promotional accounts under me to post a photo of him, with the best wishes of growing up healthily.”

“Stop it, be serious.” Jensen heard their crazy ramblings and stopped them.

At the same time, he raised his hand and held on Rae’s shoulder, letting her to continue leaning on himself.

“Then what do you plan to give?” Rae raised her gaze and asked, looking at his chin.

“I’ll start a trust fund, naming it after him.” As Jensen said this, he used his other hand to tug on the tie on his neck. She was like a fireball, when she leaned against him, even he felt hot as well.
