To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63 Alec, Are You Alright?

Paul opened the door to a private lounge in JK bar and promptly frowned at the sight. “What are you doing, drinking in the afternoon instead of working? Alec, are you alright?”

As he spoke, he sat across from his friend, looking both concerned and curious.

“I’m okay,” Alec muttered and downed another shot.

He certainly did not appear fine in Paul’s eyes. He thought for a while and asked, “Looks like you’re upset because of Jenny Walter. Why? Didn’t you talk to her?”

“I did. She said she never wants to see me again,” Alec answered with a hint of bitterness.

At first, Paul was surprised by her resolve, but he could understand why. “It’s your fault for being married for two years but refusing to meet your wife even once. I can understand her resentment toward you.”

“But I never thought that she would…” Alec sighed. He was a little regretful for not meeting with Jenny

earlier and saving his marriage.

Paul went over to him and patted him on the shoulder. “Why did her attitude upset you? Have you fallen

for her?”

Noting Alec’s silence, he went on, “You’re only lonely because there are no women around you. That’s why you’re attracted to Jenny Walter. She’s just an average chick who isn’t worth your time. I know a few lovely socialites. Want me to introduce you?”

Indeed, Paul thought of Jenny as an average woman who was more mysterious than feminine or

seductive.

Alec didn’t take that well and glared at his friend. “Get lost!”
