Chapter 234 Get Back Here!
Jenny raised her glass in the restaurant to toast the woman in front of her. “Thanks for agreeing to see
me, Jade.”
“You don’t have to be so polite with me, Jenny. I’ve said before that I can help you whenever you need
it.” Jade Weston raised her glass and clinked it against Jenny’s.
“I know, but I was afraid I’d be bothering you. You were going into hiding…”
“That was such a long time ago. Maybe no one even remembers me. You’re worrying too much.” Jade
smiled, reminiscing her past. It couldn’t haunt her now.
Hearing Jade’s reassurance, Jenny’s concerns dissipated slightly. She told Jade about the company and
said, “I hope you’ll come help manage this company, Jade. After all, you were once in this industry.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“It’s no big deal. I can do it.” Jade nodded. Managing a company was her bread and butter. “However, it’s
a design company. It prioritizes designing. You can count on me for the business part of things, but
design, on the other hand…”
Jenny looked at her, widening her eyes innocently, making Jade’s heart drop. Jenny’s smile was bright.”
Designing is what you do best, Jade.”
“But… I haven’t designed anything in a very long time.” Jade was hesitant. The things that had happened
before had made her swear off designing, and now…
Jenny could see her hesitation and held her hand. “Jade, we can never escape the past. But the best
way to deal with it is to defeat it.” She knew more or less what had happened, but she hadn’t told anyone
of this. She didn’t want Jade to live in the past anymore.
“Jenny…”
“It’s alright, Jade. Just help me manage the company for now, and I’ll handle the designs. Don’t forget
that I’m your only mentee!” Jenny said with a chuckle. No one was forcing Jade into anything now.
Jade said nothing more. “Alright. From a design perspective, you’re far better than I am. You possess
more creativity.”
“Don’t flatter me, Jade. I’m embarrassed.” Jenny pretended to blush, and Jade rolled her eyes.
“Quit with the antics. I don’t fall for that.”
They talked and laughed merrily. Outside the restaurant, Max chattered away, his voice grinding on
Alec’s ears.
“Hey, are you listening to me, Alec? The plan must go exactly as I want, or I won’t let go of her so easily.
When that happens…” He followed Alec’s gaze toward the restaurant, spotting Jenny and Jade at once.
A smile appeared on his lips as he realized what Alec was looking at now and smacked him, saying,

Alec rolled his eyes in response.
Max smiled happily and pretended to walk into the restaurant. “Since we’re here, we should go in.”
“Get back here!” Alec called to him. He hadn’t thought of how to make Jenny forgive him, so he couldn’t
very well appear in front of her now.
Max was not one to listen to Alec. In the blink of an eye, he was already in the restaurant. Alec had no
choice but to follow him in.
Max’s appearance stunned both Jenny and Jade. They were in the middle of a conversation.
“Is this a friend of yours, Jenny? Could you introduce us?” Max said shamelessly, as if he had drunk
liquid courage before sauntering in.
