To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 730

Jenny really didn't have the words. "You came to the city on Alicia's behalf? Empty-handed?"

"I didn't plan to either, but when she called me and started crying about her brother, I figured, 'Hey, this might be a good chance to try out the city life,' plus, I couldn't just refuse to help her. Jonathan and I trained together," Melissa explained.

"You're not from the city?" Jenny asked in surprise.

"Yeah. I couldn't stand the small-town life anymore, so I decided, might as well come here." She had thought her chances of getting hired as a bodyguard would be higher in the city. That was one of the reasons she took on Alicia's request as well.

Jenny nodded in understanding.

"I'll buy you dinner then."

Melissa's eyes widened like saucer plates. "Really? You're not messing with me, are you?"

"Don't worry, I'm not." Jenny started the car and drove them to a nearby restaurant. She had plans for Melissa that she couldn't risk Rowena knowing, so she couldn't bring Melissa home for their meal.

They sat at a table inside the restaurant, where Jenny then gave Melissa the menu. "Order whatever you like."

Melissa was salivating as she flipped through the menu. The food all looked so good.

"You're really paying for dinner, right?" she asked again, worried Jenny might leave after their meal without paying and throw Melissa under the bus.

"Really. You don't have to worry, Melissa. What can I benefit from you when you have nothing to your name?" Jenny shrugged. Where was the lack of awareness earlier in the car? She thought to herself.
