Chapter 441
That’s fine, since Carson won’t believe me anyway, so Jolene can do whatever she wants. If things go well on my side, these bastards can’t have much longer, I thought to myself.
Meanwhile, Jenny wasn’t sure what I was thinking. “President Walker is acting strange. Not only has he slept so far since last night, he hasn’t eaten anything either. Miss. Sanders is getting so excited for him.”
“Camille is very anxious. Mr. Walker is no longer a kid, so the fact that he isn’t eating means he isn’t hungry. He will eat as soon as he is.” I was pretty unfazed by what Jenny said.
“To be so considerate of him, Ms. Sanders sure cares about him,” exclaimed Jenny.
“Why would she sell herself short? Everything that Mr. Walker has are riches and good looks. Other than that, all he has is his volatile temper that makes him difficult to get along with.”
“I don’t think so. He’s not just rich, he’s filthy rich. Furthermore, he is not only handsome, but extremely handsome! Why would his temperament matter? Lots of women are lining up to get a go with him!”
“Are you one of them?” I played.
“Nah. Although he’s handsome, he’s not my thing. I know my worth, so why should I chase someone who isn’t for me when I have so many others?
choices?”
“You are right. I would never put my dignity aside to go after a man!”
“Everyone has different opinions, so Ms. Sanders must have his reasons for doing this. However, I believe that anger is the reason why President Walker is not eating anything, but I can’t put my finger on the reason behind it. ”
Jenny’s reasoning seemed sound since he looked angry, which reminded me of Eric asking if I was happy last night. The resulting confusion led me to scold him sharply, but now that I thought about it, he might have been referring to when I went shopping with Dylan. He sure was being mean, if that was indeed the case.
Meanwhile, Jenny continued, “I don’t blame Ms. Sanders for being anxious, since President Walker has a bad case of gastritis, so he can’t go hungry, nor can he eat spicy food. He also has prepared medicines in his drawer.”
I was surprised by what Jenny told me. “Why would he have gastritis despite his young age?”
“I heard it was from too much drinking,” Jenny replied.
“Drinking to excess? He would have to drink a lot of alcohol to get gastritis from that!” It didn’t seem like a plausible explanation, considering his normally cold demeanor.
“Rumor has it that he had a foreign girlfriend when he was studying. He loved her very much so he was heartbroken when they broke up for reasons unknown to us so he would go to the pub every day to drown out those feelings of sadness. He drank so much that his stomach couldn’t take it anymore, so he had gastric perforation, which was the reason for his weak stomach.”
“Who is that girl capable of making him so desperate?” The fact that Eric could be so attached to anyone surprised me.
“I don’t know. I heard her last name was Deering, but I can’t remember her full name.”
“Deering? Is her name Beverly Deering?” I asked.
“I think so. Not only is she a flawless beauty, but she is also talented.”
