Chapter 274 Are You Dissatisfied With Me in Any Way?
Alec’s expression fell when he heard that, and he gave her a disgruntled look. “You can be one of them.”
“I’m not rich enough to pay for you.” She shook her head as she tried to hold back laughter. Alec shut up
after trying hard to squeeze a word of affection out of her. Sometimes, she could be more simple-minded
than a man.
After breakfast, she went to work at the hospital. Alec had offered to take her there but was turned down.
According to her, their relationship was not at that level yet. It was one thing to deliver breakfast every
day. If he started sending her to and from work, others might gossip.
Alec protested at the injustice, “Why won’t you acknowledge me then?” As Jenny looked puzzled, he had

Without hesitation, she shook her head, coughed, and replied gravely, “I don’t dislike you as much as
before, but…I can’t make you my boyfriend.”
“Why? Are you disappointed with me in any way?” he prodded with a determination to get to the bottom
of it. His question made her speechless, for he was a perfect man that any woman would feel lucky to
call her own.
She begged to differ. Alec was remarkable, but she was a respectable self-made woman too. She
wouldn’t prioritize him just because he was the CEO of Faust Group. Although they got along well, Alec
didn’t feel like a boyfriend to her for some reason she couldn’t quite explain.
Under his intense gaze, she felt a little sorry for him. “I’m running late. Let’s talk about it next time.” She

Jenny.
“Alright. I’ll keep working hard to win you over. Your heart will open up one day,” he mumbled,
determined not to give up even after hearing her words.
On Jenny’s way to work, she had a call with Stephanie Walker in the cab. Stephanie opined, “I think Alec
Faust is a decent man. Look at how much effort he’s put in to win your heart! No other man will have
such patience.”
Stephanie was not a fan of Alec in the past, but she was quite touched by his actions lately. Moreover, he
was a better man compared to Paul Wagner.
The thought of Paul dampened her mood.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJenny understood Stephanie’s sentiment but still didn’t feel like taking her relationship with Alec to the
next level. “Well, I feel like something’s missing. Yes, I agree that he treats me very well, but I don’t really
feel like dating him.”
“Oh, I guess you don’t love him then. You don’t have romantic feelings for him,” Stephanie analyzed and
concluded. There would be a stark difference in one’s behavior, depending on whether one was in love
or not. If Jenny was in love with him, she’d be rushing to go official with their relationship and announce it
to the world. However, she must be ambivalent because she didn’t mind his advances but didn’t feel like
getting into a relationship.
“Do I not love him?” Jenny struggled with the definition of love. She had had one relationship in her
college years that ended with a whimper. She wasn’t in love with Alec, but her heart did flutter for him,
especially…
She was reminded of his kiss, and her heart suddenly raced.
