To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33 What Did You Just Say?

“Dr. Walter!” Alec gnashed his teeth.

Jenny looked nonchalant. She really wished to see him panic, but as a doctor, she couldn’t do that to a patient.

Yes, a patient. In her eyes, Alec was a patient.

No one would pass out because they were afraid of the dark unless they had severe psychological issues or had experienced something that would make them react negatively to the dark.

“I was joking.” Jenny put the phone back and said righteously, “Although I don’t like you, I’m not the type to rub salt in someone’s wound.”

Alec cradled the phone in his hands and looked at her. “You’ve admitted that you don’t like me.”

“Yeah. There’s nothing much to admit.” In the darkness, with no one around, they began to talk.

“Why?” Alec asked. “I don’t remember hurting you.”

“You’ve hurt me tons of times.” Jenny shot him a look. He wouldn’t be reacting this way if he knew that it was his ex-wife in the elevator with him.

Alec frowned. He stared at Jenny. “Such as?”

“Such as the Walkers.” Jenny’s voice was carrying traces of anger. “You knew early on that you would stop working with them. So why did you act like it was because of Stephanie?”

Alec did not defend himself. “The news spread pretty quickly. Did Gilbert tell

you

this?”

Jenny rose to her feet, and Alec did the same. The two of them collected themselves.

Soon, the elevator doors opened, and Jenny walked out. Before long, she returned and took the bag she had left on the floor.

“Are you eating just this tonight?” Alec asked, frowning.

She murmured a response, anxious to go home. She was exhausted.

As they spoke, they reached the doors to their rooms. Jenny opened her door with her keys. When Alec saw that she was about to disappear, he said, “Thanks for tonight.”

Jenny’s hand froze. She looked over in disbelief. “What did you just say?”

His expression shifted at once, and she hurriedly said, “I just couldn’t believe that you would thank someone.” This was a surprise. “Since you know to thank me, I’m going to give you a suggestion.” She thought about it for a while and decided to be a good Samaritan.
