Chapter 62 She Couldn’t Take It Anymore
Alec left determinedly. Jenny believed she had truly offended him this time, but she didn’t care.
She picked up the fork and knife to dig in but was interrupted once again by a figure who took the seat
across from her. She was about to protest, thinking it was Alec, then she realized it wasn’t him, but
another person who would equally ruin her appetite.
“Dr. Walter,” Faye chirped. Jenny was speechless by how she was ambushed by Alec, and now Faye.
When could she eat in peace?
“Miss Lawrence, please get straight to the point. I need to have my lunch.” She made no attempt to

Faye’s expression crumbled a little. Her mood had been affected earlier because Alec refused to have
lunch with her. When shopping with friends, she ran into Alec and Jenny having lunch. Apart from feeling

Jenny instantly gave up on her because the woman was stuck in her rigid mindset. She advised, “Your
mindset is wrong. I’d suggest you cool down for now. You can’t be interrogating every woman he came
across.
Faye was quiet, but there was a ruthless look in her eyes. She decided that Jenny must have feelings for
Alec, given how she dodged her question.
She could not take it anymore. She came to a decision and looked up, all smiles. “I’ll take your advice
