Chapter 376 This is My Choice
The two happily ate dinner, enjoying each other’s company.
“Had a busy day?” Jenny asked, sneaking a peek at Alec’s desk filled with mountains of documents. She
felt bad. He always seemed so relaxed and unbothered around her, even cooking for her sometimes.
Turns out he was actually really occupied at work.
Alec nodded. “Yeah. Company’s going through a peak period.”
He didn’t tell her about what was strange with work lately. It seemed like someone was directing all the
chaos hurtling at his company. But without any evidence of who it was, he had decided not to tell Jenny
first in case she worried.

Jenny shook her head and swiftly took out the contract she had signed earlier. “Everything’s settled.”-
Alec read the contract, then smiled. “Not bad. I thought you were gonna give it all without taking anything
in return.”
The contract stipulated clearly that Jenny would get 40% of the Golding company’s shares in exchange
for her billion-dollar investment. There was little to no chance Jenny would be walking away losing.
“I’m not a saint.” Jenny laughed through her meal. Alec decided not to burst her bubble because only a
saint would help a dying company with that much money.
After they finished eating, Jenny decided not to interrupt Alec further with his work. “I’ll go home first. Will
you be working overtime tonight?”
“Looks like it. I’ll have Vincent drive you.”
Jenny refused. “No, it’s okay. You need all the help you can get.” She couldn’t let Alec lose his assistant
now that he was swamped with work.
Just as Alec was hesitating, his phone rang. He picked up and hung up within ten seconds.
“Now I really need Vincent to drive you.” When Jenny frowned, Alec explained, “I need you to get me
something from my place. Vincent can give it to me when he comes back.”
“But-” She didn’t have his house keys, she wanted to say, but Alec had already plopped them into her
hand.
“Here. Keep ’em. From now on, my place is your place too.”
Jenny blinked in surprise, then smiled awkwardly. “I’ll have to give you the keys to my house too, then?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlec grinned. “That’s your choice to make.” He wouldn’t force her, of course.
“I should…give these back to you,” Jenny suddenly said.
“Why?” Alec immediately looked upset.
“I…haven’t thought things through yet.” She hadn’t decided whether to give her keys to Alec or not. It felt
like the next step to deepen their relationship, which meant it was a major step.
Noticing this, Alec gently caressed her cheek. “It’s okay. Think about it first. We don’t have to rush.”
“But the keys…”
“Are yours now. That’s my decision. Okay?” He was willing to show all of himself to Jenny, and it was
okay if she needed time to do so.
Jenny nodded. “Okay.”
“Go on back then. The documents are on my study shelf.”
