Chapter 96 Who to eat hotpot with?
As Jenny walks away, Frankie subconsciously reaches out and tugs on her arm, "Jenny, it's just a
meal, you..."
The office is so quiet that people even can hear a needle dropping onto the ground.
Jenny lowers her head to look at the hand on her arm, a trace of disgust flash in her eyes. Although her
expression is not obvious, Frankie sees that and he startled, and let go of her hand.
Since when they have started to become so strange and loathsome to each other?
The people in the office look at each other, no one dares to speak.
Jenny sweeps a glance at Frankie and says, "I heard that you and Jessica are in love.
Congratulations."
"Jenny, you..."
"Remember to invite me to your wedding party"
Frankie is silent for a few seconds then he forces a smile.
"Definitely..."
After Jenny left, Daniel stands behind Frankie and rolls his eyes. There is someone who doesn't
understand the situation and asks, "Jenny is gone, Frankie, do we still order the hotpot?"
Frankie doesn't speak as if he hasn't heard.
"Eat. you just know how to eat." Daniel glares at the girl who has spoken and lowers his voice and
says, "You should be ready to take the hint."
The girl cringes and doesn't dare to speak anymore.
Frankie looks at the elevator, he turns around to his office when he sees the lift goes down to the first
floor. When he almost reaches the door, he says, "Order the hotpot."
The entire office re-bursting into boisterous cheers.
Frankie stays at his office and leans against the back of the door, a trace of inexpressible grief crossing
his eyes, as if the noise outside the door has nothing to do with him.
The phone inside the pocket has been ringing again. Since the wedding date has been set, Jessica has
pushed a lot of drama and concentrate on the wedding matters at home. Frankie doesn't want to care
about those things, but it's just that Jessica has countless phone calls every day to ask for his opinion.
"Hello..." His voice penetrates with a hint of fatigue.
"Frankie, come with me to try on the wedding dresses after you knock off, I have made an
appointment."
"I've got a company department staff dinner tonight, you go ahead, I'll be there as soon as I can,"
"You'll have to try on your dress too, or I'll wait for you."
"Just pick any set, I believe your judgment."
"Frankie..." There is a coquettish voice on the other end of the phone, "You have promised to come
with me, and I have made an appointment with the designer. Today is not a festival, why you have a
company dinner, are you hiding something from me?"
"The company is holding some activities, why do you have to think so much?" Frankie is impatience
and asks, "If you don't trust me, why you want to marry me?"
"Frankie, that's not what I mean..."
"Alright, I still have things to do, I may not go back tonight, you may rest early."
Jessica bites her lip, she can't hold back when she hears this sentence, "Frankie, Jenny went to the
company isn't it, so you don't want to come back is something to do with her right?"
"Who tells you that?"
"You just tell me, are you?" Jessica's voice was trembling.
"Are you crazy? Why don't you come to the office now and see if Jenny is still there, or if she is present
at our departmental dinners? If you want to doubt me, please be logic. Jessica, I see that you have
been tormented by your best friends."
Frankie holds his forehead inside the office and frowns, "Calm yourself down."
After saying this, he directly hangs up the phone. On the other end of the phone, in the villa, Jessica
looks at the phone's black screen, and she is full of incredulity. This was the first time that Frankie has
taken the initiative to hang up her phone.
The wedding has been set on a date, the elders of Frankie's family like her very much, Frankie's
mother even accompanies her to pick a wedding dress and the wedding venue. But from the beginning
of the wedding preparations, Frankie has barely expressed his opinion, even things like to try on the
wedding dress he is not care as if he is escaping from something.
She looks at herself in the mirror, she is still beautiful and still young. But why she has come to this
point, she already has what she wants to like her career and a man she loves, but she still feels lonely?
It's because of Jenny, if she exists, her aura will always be covered up.
She has waited for so long after her mother remarried to a wealthy family. When she thinks she can
change her life and enroll in a bilingual school or being the lead dancer, or the qualification to have
early admission to the university. All the chances are grabbed by Jenny, it seems Jenny is the obstacle
in her life.
The concubine?
So, what if her mother is a concubine, her original living place is like a slum. Her father always drunk
and beat her. If her mother hasn't found a rich man to be a mistress, and then people's original spouse
has died unexpectedly, her life might have been tied to the slums for the rest of her life.
So, what about society's morals, she just must do her best to grab what she wants.
A porridge shop near the Jade Picture building.
Shawn has ordered a bowl of porridge and a soup dumpling. She sizes up Jenny and frowns, "You
should keep your figure, are you controlling yourself lately?"
Jenny's face is stiffened, she is thinking of what she has eaten, whether she is eating nutritiously in the
Flower House or eating and drinking without scruples with Victoria during the recording of the show, it
seems those are the taboo for Shawn.
"Don't eat anything tonight, and drink less water, it's easy to have oedema."
Shawn hands the menu to the waiter to avoid Jenny orders food.
"Okay, I won't eat..." Jenny withdraws her hand, she places the coffee and dessert on the side of the
table and handing it to Shawn, "I guess you have to wait for the porridge for a while, you can eat some
of this to pad your stomach."
Shawn coughs and nods after receiving the coffee, she is looking a hesitated and stops talking.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
"Have you been to the hospital?" Jenny follows up with a question.
"Just a cold, nothing serious, no need to go."
"That's not good, you think it's a little cold if it's been a long time it might trigger pneumonia or
something like else..." Jenny pauses her words and sneaks a look at Shawn," I'm not cursing you, I just
hope you can go to the hospital and have a check. There are people in the company, so don't worry
and go to have a check."
"I'm so strict with you, I didn't even let you eat when you were training before your debut, and you don't
hate me?"
Jenny is stunned when she hears Shawn's question.
This was probably the first time Shawn has asked her such words.
