Chapter 365 Try Me
Alec didn’t have any intention to linger around once their third wheel had gone. He stood up, ready to
leave, when Christopher stopped him.
“Are
you in a rush, Mr. Faust? I’d like to have a word with you.”
“What do you want to say?” Alec responded flatly, sitting back down in his seat.
“I’m sure you know as much as I do.” Christopher grinned. They had nothing in common save for Jenny.
Alec sneered, not afraid of him whatsoever. “Then there’s nothing for us to talk about. Jenny is a living,

Jenny.
Alec took a deep breath. “Well? What did you want to say?”
“Nothing much, really. Just wondering how much it’ll take for you to break up with Jenny.” Christopher
didn’t actually have any hope Alec would proceed with his offer. Still, he had to be polite and ask first.

“Alec Faust!” Christopher yelled and ran out after him. “Don’t act all proud, bastard! You think I don’t

Alec growled. “I am not. Like. You.”
With that, he turned and left, leaving Christopher gaping in shock.
Alec was in a terrible mood on his car ride home.
How were he and Christopher the same? They weren’t remotely similar!
Jenny had been worrying ever since she got home, wondering what to say to Alec. She never once
found a way to tell Alec what had happened, even when he had come home. She only stared at him,
anxious.
“Hungry?” Alec asked, much to her surprise.
