To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125 An Agreement Made by the Older Generation

Soon, it was six in the evening. It was time to get off work.

Jenny packed up all her things and prepared to leave the hospital, but she didn’t expect Alec to call.

“Is there something you need?” she asked as she packed up her things.

“How is Mr. Spade?” he asked. His tone was calm and neutral, as if he were a boss simply checking in on his employee.

Jenny said truthfully, “All is well. He should be discharged in a few days.”

“Are you free tonight? I’d like to take you out to dinner,” he said. Then, he added quickly, “My grandfather wants to see you.”

He had no choice. He knew that if he invited her out to dinner alone, Jenny would refuse. He had to bring his grandfather into this as a shield.

Jenny frowned and said, “I can’t make it tonight. I’ll eat with him at the Old Mansion some other time.”

“Are you busy tonight?” Alec asked, a little disappointed. Vincent told him that he had to take the lead, quell some of the dissatisfaction that Jenny felt for him. That was why he mustered up the courage to call her, but now….

“Yeah. I’m busy.” For some reason, she felt a little guilty. A dinner date was considered business, wasn’t it? She comforted herself.

“Alright.” Alec hung up. He was definitely disappointed, but it was fine. He had time.

Right as she finished her conversation with Alec, Christopher appeared at her office door. “Are you done?”
