Chapter 265 We’re Not That Close
Yvonne was in no mood to listen to the staffs conversation. Alec was on her mind, and she assumed he
was likely with Jenny. Her mood tanked, and she looked across at Sam. “Since Alec Faust is here, we
should at least say hi to him. If the Blooms have his support, we can soon take over the reins of the
Bloom Conglomerate.”
“Yvonne, let’s stay put.” Sam wasn’t an idiot. He knew their presence would only irk Alec and Jenny, who
had made it clear that they disliked the Bloom couple.
Yvonne glared at him impatiently. “Why are you so afraid? Alec’s not going to bite.” After that, she
disregarded his protest and dragged him with her. She wore a broad smile on her face when she stood in
front of Alec and Jenny. “Alec, are you having dinner with Jenny here? What a coincidence. Sam and I
are eating here too,” she addressed them in an annoyingly sweet manner, especially when she referred

Jenny was the one who had goosebumps over the uneasy exchange. She remarked, “Miss Dickman,
we’re not that close. Why don’t you go with ‘Miss Walter’?”
“Jenny, we’ve known each other for a long time. How could you say that we’re not close?” Yvonne
glanced at her without any hint of budging.
Jenny was dumbfounded by her behavior but couldn’t do anything about it. She couldn’t possibly tape up
Yvonne’s mouth, so she turned around and stared out of the window, pretending that Yvonne wasn’t
there. Alec’s attitude was no better than hers. “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing much! We happened to run into you here. Sam told me that we should come up and say hi.
That’s why we’re here,” Yvonne explained while nudging Sam.
At that moment, Sam was in distress but was forced to look at Alec. “It’s not often that I run into you, Mr.
Faust. It’d be impolite not to greet you. But don’t worry! Yvonne and I won’t take up much of your time.
We’ll just say hi and leave.”
Although the Blooms were influential in Parrington, they were no match for the Fausts. Therefore, Alec
didn’t need to go out of the way to please Sam.
“Okay. Are you done?” Alec asked.
“Huh?” Sam was taken aback by the abrupt question but soon gathered himself. “Yeah, we are. We’re
leaving now.”
“Alec…” Yvonne wanted to say something more, but Sam pulled her away.
After the Bloom couple left, Jenny finally felt more at ease. She poked fun at Alec, “I never thought
Yvonne would still be interested in you. Look at her-she’s married to Sam Bloom but insisted on coming
over.”
“That’s her problem. I have no interest in her at all,” Alec tried to clear the air as he worried that Jenny
might take it the wrong way. She chuckled and thought, “I’m not that unreasonable.”

“Yvonne…” Sam was upset. “I know you love Alec, and that’s why you hate Jenny. But you’re now
married to me. I have never hoped you’d fall for me, but I wish you could put Alec behind. You could tell
that he isn’t into you.”
He wouldn’t have to put up with the humiliation if he weren’t in love with Yvonne. Sadly, his genuine
words meant nothing to her. “I don’t need you to butt into my business, And why do you think I’m into him
just
because I went up to say hi? I was hoping that you could foster a good relationship with him. Then, we
could use our relationship with him to eventually take over the Bloom Conglomerate. Got it?”
She wasn’t lying, for that was her plan all along. However, she obviously had other motives when she
approached Alec.
