To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265 We’re Not That Close

Yvonne was in no mood to listen to the staffs conversation. Alec was on her mind, and she assumed he was likely with Jenny. Her mood tanked, and she looked across at Sam. “Since Alec Faust is here, we should at least say hi to him. If the Blooms have his support, we can soon take over the reins of the Bloom Conglomerate.”

“Yvonne, let’s stay put.” Sam wasn’t an idiot. He knew their presence would only irk Alec and Jenny, who had made it clear that they disliked the Bloom couple.

Yvonne glared at him impatiently. “Why are you so afraid? Alec’s not going to bite.” After that, she disregarded his protest and dragged him with her. She wore a broad smile on her face when she stood in front of Alec and Jenny. “Alec, are you having dinner with Jenny here? What a coincidence. Sam and I are eating here too,” she addressed them in an annoyingly sweet manner, especially when she referred to Jenny. It was a testament to her shamelessness.

Jenny was the one who had goosebumps over the uneasy exchange. She remarked, “Miss Dickman, we’re not that close. Why don’t you go with ‘Miss Walter’?”

“Jenny, we’ve known each other for a long time. How could you say that we’re not close?” Yvonne glanced at her without any hint of budging.

Jenny was dumbfounded by her behavior but couldn’t do anything about it. She couldn’t possibly tape up Yvonne’s mouth, so she turned around and stared out of the window, pretending that Yvonne wasn’t there. Alec’s attitude was no better than hers. “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing much! We happened to run into you here. Sam told me that we should come up and say hi. That’s why we’re here,” Yvonne explained while nudging Sam.

At that moment, Sam was in distress but was forced to look at Alec. “It’s not often that I run into you, Mr. Faust. It’d be impolite not to greet you. But don’t worry! Yvonne and I won’t take up much of your time. We’ll just say hi and leave.”

Although the Blooms were influential in Parrington, they were no match for the Fausts. Therefore, Alec didn’t need to go out of the way to please Sam.
