Chapter 315 | Have Something to Say
Jenny walked out of the gym after ending her conversation with Simone. She was about to hail a cab
when Alec’s car stopped before her.
“Are you done talking?” Alec rolled down his window.
Jenny nodded, then realization dawned upon her. “When did you come? No, how did you know I was
here?” She didn’t tell Alec that she was coming to see Simone, much less where she would go.
“I just found out you were with her when I sent someone out to investigate her.” Alec didn’t think that
such a coincidence would happen, either. He wanted to find Simone before Jenny did, but Jenny was still
faster.
Jenny didn’t press the matter. Even if Alec sent someone out to spy on her, Jenny would believe he was

Wait. Since when had she become so trusting of him?
Alec opened the door for her. Jenny sat in his car and didn’t ask where they were going.
“How did the conversation go?” Alec asked.
Jenny nodded. “It was just as I thought. She has an ambitious side but was never given an opportunity.
Now that it’s fallen right into her lap, she has no reason to refuse.”
Alec wasn’t surprised. It wasn’t because he understood Simone, but because he understood Jenny. She
could do anything she put her mind to, and Alec didn’t doubt her from the start. He merely thought that
his help would lessen her burden.
The car wasn’t heading toward Perry Residences. “Where are we going?” Jenny asked.
“Dinner,” Alec said.
“We’re not eating at home?” She thought Alec would cook like usual, but Alec shook his head. He didn’t
say where they were going.
The car moved out of the city. It was then that Jenny’s curiosity was piqued. They were evidently going to
eat at an unusual place.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped.
Jenny realized that they were standing before a manor. They were surrounded by trees, and it felt like
they were transported to a different world.
“Are we eating here?” Jenny asked Alec curiously. The place didn’t seem like a restaurant to her.
Alec brought her in, and a butler moved forward. “Master.”
“Is it prepared?” Alec asked.
“Yes, sir,” the butler replied. He gestured for them to follow him.

which is why I don’t come to stay often.
“Oh.” Jenny nodded. She knew this wasn’t a restaurant. But why would Alec bring her here if he didn’t
come here often? Before she could ask the question, the butler had already brought them to the dining
room. It was then that Jenny realized she had severely underestimated the sheer size
of the manor.
The dining room was as large as a hotel restaurant. On the long table a distance away were wine, steak,
candles, and fresh flowers. It all seemed strange to Jenny, and she looked at Alec, who seemed
unperturbed. Was she overthinking things?
“Sit, Jenny.” Alec smiled at her, helping her to sit opposite him.
Once she was seated, he let the butler leave before saying, “Jenny, I brought you here today because…I
have something to say to you.”
