Chapter 858 I Can’t Give You What You Want
It was a Saturday the next day.
The sound of her phone ringing woke Jenny up from her sleep. She reached out a hand from under the covers and answered the call.
“Hello? Who is it…Oh, it’s you, Evan…Where did you say you were?” Jenny sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes. If she didn’t hear him wrongly just now, it seemed like Evan was saying he was right outside Walter Castle. Jenny came to her senses after a while. “Alright, I’ll send the butler to pick you up.”
She hung up the phone and rubbed her temples. Although she had fallen asleep quickly after talking to Stephanie on the phone last night, she didn’t sleep well. It was because she had a dream about Alec that was quite inappropriate, and it annoyed her.
With no time to think too much, she got up from bed, freshened up, and walked out of her bedroom. She noticed Evan sitting in the living room downstairs right away.
“Evan, why did you come so early?” Jenny was puzzled and quickly walked downstairs toward him.
It had been a few days since she last saw Evan, and she wanted to make it clear to him that she had no other intentions, hoping that he would give up. However, seeing
Evan showing up at Walter Castle again, Jenny felt that she might have been too naive.
Upon seeing Jenny, Evan immediately noticed the dark circles under her eyes and asked, concerned, ‘What’s wrong? Did you not sleep well?”
“Yeah.” Jenny nodded, not wanting to discuss this topic. “Have you had breakfast? I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare something.”
“Not yet. I’m here to have breakfast with you,” Evan said with a smile. He didn’t know what Jenny and Luke talked about yesterday or whether Jenny had any contact with Alec after he left. He was worried and decided to come over early in the morning to check on Jenny and increase his sense of presence around her.
Jenny wouldn’t have known that he was thinking about all those things. After instructing the butler, she sat across from Evan.
“Are you getting used to your work?’ Jenny asked.
Evan nodded. “It’s alright, but there’s still a lot to learn, and I need to keep working hard.”
“Don’t be so modest, Evan. Although I haven’t been involved in the company’s affairs much, the managers often praise you for being excellent. I know you’re very capable.” Though Jenny didn’t go to the company, she still needed to be aware of the situation at Walter Inc. The managers would report to her every week. In several of the reports, she’d seen praises for Evan’s work, so she knew he was skilled and competent.
Hearing her compliment, Evan felt a little embarrassed. “They’re just exaggerating it. I’m not that capable.”
Seeing him deny it, Jenny didn’t continue the topic. “Evan, what are your plans for the future?”
“What are you trying to say, Jenny?” Evan was not stupid. The fact that Jenny asked so many questions could only mean she had something else she wanted to say.
In fact, he could already guess what Jenny wanted to say; it was nothing new.
Hearing his question, Jenny felt a little helpless. “Forget it. It’s nothing that I haven’t said before. You won’t listen to me even if I tell you about it.”
“If you don’t want me to work in Walter Inc, I don’t necessarily have to keep working there,” Evan replied.
Jenny quickly waved her hand when she heard him say that, indicating that she didn’t mean it that way. “Our company is very fortunate to have an employee like you. I’m just afraid that it might affect your life plans.”
“Do you really have no intention of giving me a chance?” Evan smiled bitterly as he could easily understand the meaning behind Jenny’s words.
Since they had reached this point in the conversation, Jenny had no choice but to speak frankly, “Evan, I only see you as a brother, just like Gilbert and Zack. So, I don’t want you to change your life plans because of me. I can’t give you what you want.”
