Jenny blamed it on her rotten luck. Parrington was a big city, so why did she always run into Alec?
As if he could feel her gaze, Alec looked in her direction and met her eyes. A wave of complex emotions

“It’s Miss Walter and her friend.” Yvonne followed Alec’s gaze and spotted Jenny on the nearby table.
Jenny had already turned away. Smiling at Morgan, she told her, “You know the best food here better
than me, so you can order for us. I’m not a picky eater.”

Since they were destined to run into each other, she wanted to take the lead in the situation.
Although Jenny didn’t want to greet Yvonne, she had no choice but to do so as many people were
watching.
“Yes, I’m here to pick a gift with my friend.”

Jenny for help as she didn’t know what to do.
Jenny, on the other hand, was shocked to learn it was Old Mr. Faust’s birthday in two days. She wasn’t
aware of it, not because she didn’t take the old man seriously, but because he didn’t hold a birthday party
during the two years of her marriage.
She assumed that he was throwing a grand party this time because it marked his 70th birthday.
“Jenny?” Jenny was lost in her thoughts, so she didn’t notice Morgan watching her. Morgan’s voice jarred
her from her thoughts.
Regaining her composure, Jenny answered, “If you’re buying it for Mr. Faust, you don’t have to worry. I
know what he likes.”
