Chapter 419 Breaking Up So Soon?
In his office,
Alec took out his mobile phone and called Natalia.
“Hello, my dear boyfriend. What can I do for you?” In the middle of a manicure session, Natalia was surprised to receive Alec’s call since it was the first one since they made their relationship public. Hearing her call him her boyfriend, Alec wasn’t pleased, but he didn’t make a big deal out of it. Going straight to the point, he said, “I am going to issue a statement to announce a breakup, and you are going to do the same.”
Since it was all just business, Alec informed her to make sure they were on the same page.
Natalia was taken aback, “Break up? So soon?” They had only publicly announced their relationship two days ago. If they broke up so soon, her parents would be furious.
Alec explained, “The issue on my end has been resolved.”
Frustrated, she asked, “Am I merely a tool to you? You’re so ruthless.”
Alec was displeased. “What do you mean? Didn’t we discuss this before?”
Natalia clarified, “I didn’t know you were going to break up so soon. My parents just stopped pestering me two days ago. If we just announce a breakup, they’ll think something is wrong with
me.”
Natalia didn’t want to break up as it would mean her parents would start their shenanigans again.
“What do you suggest then?” Alec asked, his annoyance starting to show. He knew he had to control himself, or he might lose his temper soon.
Natalia pondered for a moment before responding, “Can you wait a few days until I find a new boyfriend? That way, my parents won’t be too upset.”
“How many days?” Alec inquired.
“Maybe seven or eight days?” Natalia suggested.
Alec didn’t reply, but Natalia could sense his frustration over the phone. “What about three or four days?”
“Let’s make it three days,” Alec agreed. “I’ll issue a statement by then, and you do what you need
to.”
With that, Alec hung up, not wanting to say anything further to Natalia. He regretted even bothering with her since she proved to be unreliable.
Luckily, Alec only had to endure for three more days, and then he could focus on his company’s affairs and Jenny. He wasn’t sure what Jenny was busy with, but he knew she had dinner with Christopher again, as his bodyguard had informed him. Although he was angry, he chose not to confront her about it.
Meanwhile, Natalia put her phone away, feeling dissatisfied, She didn’t expect to be single again
so soon. She wondered what kind of woman could make Alec sacrifice so much. Maybe she should meet her herself?
Thinking about it, she urged her manicurist, “Hurry up, I have something to do.”
Jenny had dinner with Christopher, but instead of heading home, she decided to visit the Walkers. She didn’t look for Stephanie, knowing that Stephanie wouldn’t want her parents to move away from Parrington. However, Jenny resolved to tell Stephanie’s parents everything as she was sure they wouldn’t want to see their daughter suffer. Even though she shouldn’t be meddling in their affairs, if Stephanie wasn’t going to say anything, Jenny would do it for her. Ultimately, as long as Stephanie was safe, nothing else mattered.
